Blacktop
 

A comedian I can't recall his name ;) and his girlfriend Sylvia are on the road. They quarrel to the point she's had enough and wants to go home. Introduction: Jack. A friendly trucker. He'll take her on a trip she and her comedian boyfriend will remember for a while. There is more than just a passenger seat in Jack's truck he names Goliath. The movie becomes a chase very early in. Despite Sylvia and her man's commitment quarrels something a lot like love begins a movie like no other. Some well known actors and stellar performances. Nice green trees and road scenes. A good movie but try and find Meat Loaf in this one. Good luck; I still haven't really seen him in it. But that doesn't stop the disc from spinning again and again and again. The chase between David, that's his name. The chase between David and Goliath become intricate as this trucker is mad with determination to show this couple what commitment means. At times funny. At times actually very nerving. Raw nerving too I might add.

Meat's one of the central characters in this! .. I don't know why you say you haven't seen him, but he's in it from very early on .. he's Jack, the friendly trucker you're talking about. Great scene in the motel, where he manages to portray a severely damaged man, whose behaviour one could never condone, you get a glimpse of why he's damaged and can feel sadness for him.

And "the road less taken" will NEVER mean the same for me again... No more graduation images for me! LOL

Not seen trapped! Any good?

CHSIB about the motel scene. I like to imagine a sequel to this one. However on its own is great as well. The song with the woman singing where Jack has Sylvia behind the wheel; I can hear Meat Loaf sing that.

I got the T Shirt lol

Well Meat plays a good guy in it, its got Rob Lowe in it too

Aww I loved Trapped, very corny but I liked it. Many, many years ago Gina from MLUKFC sent me a tape from the US with Trapped and Crazy In Alabama on, loved them both

I agree re the corny lol, but Meat plays a nice guy, how can you not love it lol

Somewhere some guy is crazy.
He's not quite right in the head.
He's just picked up a woman
And he wants to make her dead.
Somewhere those wheels are rolling.
At a speed that's not correct
Somewhere somebody's accepting a lift
Without a background check...

I'm a son of a B
Believe you me.
I'm the ultimate king of the road.
And if you date a comic.
And he makes you want to vomit.
Then your welcome to join my load.
It takes a nice guy act to do it.
And you'll never see see through it.
To the messed up guy that I am.
You can say i'm a nut.
And i'm a little depraved.
Gonna wish that you had flown Pan Am.



Where the rubber meets the road.
Picked up a girl now it's time to go.
I used to be nice when we said hello.
Now the rubber meets the road.

Now girl you're a beauty.
I'm a bit of a beast.
I got a bloody big knife right here.
I like to slam on the brakes.
If the car behind is close.
Even if we're in 4th gear.
Two lanes of blacktop
Sylvia riding shotgun.
She'll find i'm a loon a little too late.
Got a shrink in my hometown.
Telling a review board.
Swearin' my brains are f*cking baked.


Where the rubber meets the road.
Welcome to psychotic mode.
Acted all nice when we said hello.
Now the rubber meets the road.
Where the rubber meets the road.
Ram little cars and watch them explode.
I like to kill but she don't know.
Where the rubber meets the road!


Somewhere some guy is crazy.
And some girl's half out of her head.
Her boyfriend's acting fearless.
And someone will end up dead.
Somewhere those wheels are rolling.
And you better get out the way.
Somewhere somebody's just hitched a ride
Like in a film by Michael Bay
Somewhere somebody's just got a lift
Should have stayed in bed that day.


Where the rubber meets the road.
New definition to the phrase "dead load".
Gone a little nuts since we said hello.
Now the rubber meets the road.
Where the rubber meets the road.
Don't forget your green cross code.
You'll end up dead as a Do Do.
Where the rubber meets the road!

Where the rubber meets the road.
Running so fast that you'll need a commode.
Lot of shit's gone down since we said hello.
Now the rubber meets the road.
Where the rubber meets the road.
Boy meets girl then gunfire explodes.
Watch Goliath go go go
Chances of survival are prety damned low.
Who'll live or die? I just don't know
Where the rubber meets the road!
Where the rubber meets the road!


Somewhere some guy was crazy.
He wasn't quite right in the head.
He picked up a pissed off woman
With an aim to make her dead.
Somewhere that girl is thankfull
But there's just one little thing.
Somewhere somebody's got one less place.
To wear a pinky ring.

:mrgreen:
