"Compared to the other bars on Washington, this one, it's near the top."īy 11:30 p.m. "This one has a better bar, a better crowd," adds Bond.
"We were at Pearl Bar (4216 Washington) and Salt (4218 Washington)," says Melissa Bond as her friend and oil-industry colleague Erica Herlugson nods in agreement. And even seven months after its opening, people are still eating up the novelty. "We actually started as an upscale sports bar, but it's definitely converted more to a patio nightclub. "Ei8ht (5102 Washington) was next door and we knew we really couldn't compete with a $1.5 million building," he says. We talked with affable Brixx owner Chase Lovullo about how his bar's unique design came to be. And that's why on just about any Friday or Saturday night you decide to visit Brixx (5110 Washington), there will likely be a line at least 25 people long waiting to get inside.īrixx was originally intended to be an upscale sports bar of sorts, but has essentially morphed into an open-air nightclub. At the end of the movie, he and his brother (played by Will Ferrell) open a nightclub that looks like the outside of a nightclub.
SNL has done it yet again with MacGruber, which sounds like the cinematic equivalent of throwing hot bleach in your eyes. Remember that late-'90s movie A Night at the Roxbury? Remember how somebody thought it would be a good idea to take a mildly entertaining three-minute Saturday Night Live skit about two head-bobbing brothers who go to various nightclubs and stretch it into a two-hour movie? Yet time after time, with the exceptions of features like Wayne’s World and The Blues Brothers, SNL often failed to deliver even mediocre comedies out of their once-glorified skits.Chris Kattan is a terrible actor, but he may have had a brilliant idea.
To the credit of all SNL films, good and bad, these sketches were classics that showed this promise. Without said fanbase, the film has little influence in proving its saleability to a national movie audience.
The initial requirement for adapting five-minute sketches like It’s Pat, Coneheads or Wayne’s World into feature films is a loyal fanbase. SNL has an interesting history with its sketches-turned-movies. Anyone who wasn’t living in a cave during the mid/late ’90s can recognize the song forever immortalized by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s popular “”Saturday Night Live” skit. Then, the unmistakable song pumps through the speakers: “ What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more,” Haddaway sings in his emotionally tinged dance hit. The Paramount logo kicks up, followed by the opening credits.
