His presence is actually putting me off watching the movie.
I genuinely have no desire to see the Roadhouse remake. One reason is that it’s not going to top the original. And the other one is Conor McGregor. He genuinely believes he’s that “tough guy” in real life.
(And he wouldn’t be wrong. It just comes off as pretty terrible.)
>…Conor McGregor, making his hugely-anticipated screen debut as a mouthy, maniacal villain with a bad attitude and a silly walk….

That’s all I need to know to know I’m never going to watch this movie.
He was method acting. As himself
[deleted]
So, he’s not acting, he’s just basically being himself. No interest or intention in seeing it anyway. Patrick Swayze FTW.
OK, but how was the movie?
Roid house
Choosing literally any other fighter would have been better than this. Appalling decision making
I was all interested in this stupid film until I saw him pop up in the middle of the trailer.
I’d like to see the movie but I don’t want him taking me out of it
Jake Gyllenhaal is a legit actor, why is he lowering himself to this shite.
Getting 70% on rotten tomatoes. A must watch for me. Those indo reviewers are just idiots.
I guess I’ll wait to watch it but it’s funny to see how the Irish Times and Indo are the only two giving it a shit review while every other critic says its not half bad.
Look…its going to be a Friday night…few beers at home movie and that’s it. Get in… Have some fun and get out
Down vote me all you want, but I’ve seen the scene he’s in, and it works. Doesn’t take you out of the scene. Ed Sheeran, in Game of Thrones, was one of the worst decisions in movie/TV show production. He completely pulls you out of the scene.
For me being of a certain vintage, nothing will surpass the original movie.
This maybe something fresh for the new generation and thats fine too.
One thing I know for fact with irish media. Unless you are part of the clique you’ll do no right.
They’ll get columns written out of McGregor either way but he won’t lose any sleep.
He’s got a guaranteed pay day and didn’t even need to do the movie from a financial perspective.
They should have left that one alone. There was no way they’d be able to recreate that 80’s feel and Julie Michaels getting her tits out for very little reason, as was the style at the time.
I liked the original swayze movie, and I like Jake Gylenhall, but I wouldn’t watch it if it put 10c into mcgregors pocket, I’d rather watch flatleys blackbird on repeat
Xenophobic cunt
The original with Swayze is a classic. This is just sacrilege!
I remember when he was sound. Humble. Young. Respectful.
His taekwondo coach worked the door of the nightclub I worked in.
He was a gent. Sparkling water. No hassle or bravado.
Then the sneachta took its toll.
It only came up on my feed if he’s fighting I will watch it otherwise I don’t care, but every rich gobshite in Ireland and everyone else keeps talking about him
Indo : McGregor is a poo poo, Leo Varadkar should have been in the movie, but as the good guy because he’s a good guy. Nobody wants to see Sinn Feinn in a movie.
To be fair, can’t think of a more perfect casting for an annoying prick who gets into bar fights.
the reviews are saying it’s not bad – or that it’s exactly as good as you’d expect it to be. Freaking out baout Conor McGregor is an obsession of a certain strata of the Irish population. No one else gives a shit about him; they think he’s an occasionally amusing wrestling baddie and that’s about it.
I’d say this movie is probably a solid 6 out of 10
Why does he have a ferret stuck to his face?
It depresses me that so much of the world sees Ireland and McGregor as one and the same. He’s intertwined with us on the world stage.
I have seen several threads where he is counted as the greatest irish sports person, the most famous etc… sickening
“Conor McGregor is like watching an obnoxious toddler throw a temper tantrum in the middle of a restaurant”
Yes, but what about the movie?
Pretty good review if you asked me… is the movie any good, tho?

What a weird casting choice
There was a review in the Guardian that said he was great in it https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/mar/09/road-house-review-riotous-80s-remake
