Ahhh...sorry jetset, I forgot it's the gay man's Rocky Horror.
May I add a few?
21) What..no mention of Kyle MacLachlan?? You disappoint me jetset! This guy makes Rupert Everett look butch.
22) Gina in a cowboy hat. She's pretty, even if she does resemble a wide mouth bass.
23) Black dancer choosing fatherhood over um...dancerhood? Pssst....wise choice..he sucked.
24) Elizabeth and her virtuous morals stating ever so eloquently to said black dancer.. "You can't (bleep) me till you love me.."
25) Gina falling on beads. Nuff said.
26) Debating self during whole movie how much MUST Joe Eszterhas HATE women?
27) Then debating to self ..which is worse...Basic Instinct or this?
28) Getting psyched that Screech might just make a cameo!
29) Moment of stripper..err..sorry.. dancer bonding when black haired tough chick declares Elizabeth's innocence in falling incident.
30) The amazing ability of the movie Casino to actually make Vegas look like a nicer place than this happy little bunch;)
I'm scared that I remember this much about the movie.
Quoting Monique:

No, Rocky Horror is the gay man's Rocky Horror - Showgirls is the gay man's Rambo 3 (we get it, even if straight guys don't ).
Quoting Monique:25) Gina falling on beads. Nuff said.
Actually Gina doesn't fall on beads; the bitchy black girl falls on the beads onstage, after the bitchy latino girl put them there. Bitchy Gina is actually pushed down the stairs by bitchy Elizabeth but bitchy latino gives bitchy Elizabeth an alibi.

See? It can't have been that bad! It's seared itself on your brain, and you love it. Makes you want to just rush out and rent it all over again, doesn't it?
Ooops. Yeah, I guess I was fuzzy on how it was Gina fell. Maybe I should rent it again, because I don't remember the details of that lap dance Connery. How could I forget that part?
I'll see it in a new light this time, and appreciate the Oscar worthy cinematic brilliance and amazing choreography! Especially at Elizabeth's audition. (smirk)
I saw Showgirls once. It was the seminal moment of my life. A whole lot of naked women AND the girl from Saved by the Bell. No wonder the copy looked really worn.
I've never seen Showgirls cause I heard it was total pants and therefore didn't get off my backside to go see it. But this comment alone makes me want to buy the video out of total curiousity
Quoting Monique:
So, what happened to Victoria Beckham? I only heard the tail end of it.
Do you guys know her over there??
A reporter infiltrated a gang that was plotting to kidnap her. He tipped off the police and they raided 2 houses in London and arrested 4 people. They planned to kidnap her as she arrived at her London home, with children, by knocking her out with a chemical spray. They were apparently from Romania and Bulgaria, so how they know about her as well I don't know.
As much as I dislike her (and boy do I), it's terrifying and would be absolutely horrific if they had managed to do it. Sadly, that's the spectre you have to live with for being rich and famous.
Of course we know who Victoria Beckham (nee Adams) is over here. . .God knows, there was no escape from the Spice Girls during their heyday. The kidnapping plot also made the news over here, and I was certain that the kidnappers, were they successful, would threaten to RETURN Posh if they weren't paid.
OK, bad taste. Seriously, I'm glad this didn't work out, and I certainly hope that kidnapping doesn't become the industry in Europe and North America that it is in Central and South America and portions of Africa. And, just to continue this thread's time-honored tradition of sexist slobbering, I'll say that I used to think Victoria was the only Spice Girl with whom I'd actually like to make the beast with two backs, but that was before she dropped all that weight and adopted the Skeletor look. Yeesh!
She's a publicity hungry mongrel. Sorry, I know it's a bit harsh after the latest revelation etc. etc., but that aside, she craves attention and will do anything (including giving her poor kids ridiculously stupid names, which is a heinous crime) to get into the papers. She's at the very top of my dislike list.
Oh, and all that is besides the fact that she apparently threw a tantrum when Kylie's single "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was released the same week as hers, as she wanted the #1 spot, she had to settle for #8... And at a star-studded party they held made sure that Kylie was not only not invited, but not played or mentioned. The skeletal shiney-faced moo.
Still, I wouldn't wish such an ordeal as that on anyone.

I must say, Basic Instinct was Citizen Kane by comparison, and at least it had the delicious Jeanne Tripplehorn!
Nobody mentioned Elizabeth's ridiculous lap dance that would have gotten her arrested in real life.

"Showgirls is the gay man's Rambo 3"
That should've been the tag line on the posters.
Along with their egos.
Just ignore the original storyline,turn off the sound and add your own track as you watch the action.See?It's actually an unappreciated masterpiece.
And compared to Striptease,Showgirls is positively Shakespearean--rife with hidden layers and deep meaning(as well as beautiful women)...
WG.;)
Now,Popeye's an BAD movie--strippers would've improved it immensely.
Yeah, just dub any background music from any porno dating back to the 70's and it will give you that warm, fuzzy feeling...

She was the prettiest Spice girl, why do you guys dislike her so? Is she supposed to be a prima donna? That kidnapping thing was really really scary.

I've heard the rumour often enough...do you think, in your professional opinion jetset, he bats for your team?
Brooklyn (cause he was conceived there, and will turn out to be the most spoiled brat history has come across) and Romeo...
I love him young and scruffy. I know this is small, but I like it.
Where have I heard that before...?
KIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDING.
I hope Brosnan isn't filming the biography of Charles Bronson soon.
Lol, C'mon can't be that bad, right? Find a girl u don't really like, quick in and out.... kidding...
I gotta change the subject...
I'm sure I've heard that before too!!
Sigh...if only.... :x :x :x
