It takes a certain kind of sjw queen to be offended by Showgirls and I found your butt-hurt thesis too tedious to finish. Maybe you should lighten up a bit and stop taking everything so seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-81499927289626697052016-02-20T07:55:48.930-08:002016-02-20T07:55:48.930-08:00Thanks, Ken, for stopping by!

It is always a pleasure to get your feedback, especially on movies that we share in common. <br /><br />Yes, the "dancing" in this film is a disaster...especially the star "turn." Berkley is as herky-jerky as an untreated epileptic--positively frightening. But do you think Verhoeven wanted/intended Nomi's dancing to be less than stellar to angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-31635148375416745052016-02-20T00:55:34.292-08:002016-02-20T00:55:34.292-08:00Hi Chris

Some fun ahead for me.<br />I love your take on this good/bad movie, especially your (on the nose) observation of it being populated with drag queens rather than anything resembling real women. I know a lot of guys who love this movie, but I really only have one female friend who finds it Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-37429709632562957452016-02-14T11:53:04.402-08:002016-02-14T11:53:04.402-08:00Hi Bill, thanks for stopping by!

I do hope you'll see some of what I do in this very flawed but somehow engaging movie. One thing is certain, you will never forget it!!<br />You've also made me want to read The Official Razzie Movie Guide! Can't wait to check that out. <br />Thanks as always for stopping by!<br />- Chris<br /><br />angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-71456328415640073392016-02-12T16:03:50.362-08:002016-02-12T16:03:50.362-08:00Congratulations, Chris.

I have been working my way through the movies in that book for years, but HIS description failed to inspire me, at least for this movie.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.com
