Showgirls - 1125pm, C5

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Nov 2006, 17:15

As bad as they say?

The first time I saw Showgirls I thought it was just plain bad, not even so bad it was actually quite good. I remember my film tutor at the time (2000 I think) saying he actually liked the film in some way.

Is there any point to the film besides copius nudity?

Grim you perv....

Aye I'd watch this if I wasn't sleeping.

Nope, you've hit it right on the head with your statement. It is there for its copious nudity. Probably why your tutor liked it as well!!

LOL, he said "I looked at in a different way from your average punter (oooo...) and appreciated the satire" (what?) or something like that. I thought it was just plain bad

That's just him trying to make it sound like he is more sophisticated and to not let on he really was just watching it for the T&A!!

It's softcore camp played to the sleaziest hilt.

Trash? Absolutely.

But I've seen less entertaining "good" films.

And Gina Gershon gets 'em out.

But then so does she on 'Bound', which is actually a good film

True.

I watched a nit of it, I was always thinking "That's Jessie (I think) from Saved By The Bell!"

Except you were more :twisted: than

right?

Why would I be angry?

Angry is :x or

:twisted: is twisted. :twisted: :twisted:

Why would I be twisted?
Just years since I saw SBTB, anyway the main reason I saw that at the time was Kelly

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Nov 2006, 01:26

So more like Saved By the Bell-end?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Nov 2006, 09:04

Admit it, you watched Saved By The Bell too

Grim, thanks for bringing back horrible memories of witnessing Screech on screen.

EDIT:-

I loved SBTB and don't mind admitting it. I hear you Kelly was lovely.

As for Showgirls it's dreadful. If I want copious nudity I'd well watch porn. This like that you fast forward the crud (i.e - story).

I remember my tutor talking about Irma Vep as well - saying it was "very interesting, it had Maggie Cheung in a catsuit"

You can't go wrong with that.

Kelly aka Tiffany Amber Thiessen.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 11 Nov 2006, 16:30

I always wondered how the last part of her name was spelt.

Who played Lisa BTW? Screech was in love with her

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Nov 2006, 16:39

Lark Voorhees.

I shit you not.

Thanks Mark, interesting name for sure

Sounds Dutch or something.
