Brawny guys battle it out within the unique Street Home, launched in 1989.
“I used to fuck guys such as you in jail!” spits the villain earlier than the climactic struggle in Street Home, one of many many ludicrous and memorable strains peppered all through this good 1989 movie.
Somebody as soon as described Street Home — the topic of a 2024 remake and an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema “Queer Movie Idea 101” screening this Wednesday — as camp for straight males, which is true. However it’s extra common than that — a stupidly chic or sublimely silly style masterpiece that has little time for any dreary and tedious issues like “does this make sense?”
Patrick Swayze by no means regarded extra lithe or lovely as James Dalton, an NYU philosophy PhD (?) bar bouncer-slash-cooler employed for safety on the Double Deuce in Jasper, Missouri, seemingly essentially the most violent blues roadhouse (??) on the earth. Ben Gazzara performs a billionaire (???) who guidelines this shitty little city with an iron fist however can also be adamant about respecting the troops. A monster truck and a taxidermied grizzly bear play main roles within the motion, and Sam Elliott performs a form of kung fu blues man.
What extra do you want?
The screening consists of an introduction by queer comic and author Micheal Foulk.
$11.75, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Might 29, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Park North, 618 Northwest Loop 410, Suite 307, drafthouse.com/theater/park-north.
