Up until now, I’ve been avoiding “Showgirls” as a subject for Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com simply because it’s too legendary — so many people have already written about it that I didn’t know if I’d have anything new to say. (I’m pretty sure I’ll never do “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” either, for the same reason.) But there have been a lot of requests for it, and curiosity finally got the better of me, so here it is. It might as well be National Geographic for as much toplessness as it has, and it might as well be “The Sound of Music” for as erotic as it is.
This was actually one of the best EBM in a while. “Bring back Bette Midler and the knock-knock jokes!” Hilarious!
Plan 9 is boring. I’ve seen much more entertaining bad movies.
“…or giving names to the rats in a landfill.”
Genius!!!
I’m definitely glad you finally did Showgirls, but yeah, don’t ever do Plan 9. It’s WAY too easy a target.
“The great irony is that despite its famed luridness and ample nudity, Showgirls is not erotic. It barges up to the viewer and says, “Do you like boobies?” And if you reply in the affirmative, the movie says, “We’ll see about that!””
Best description of this movie ever.
