TS: SHOWGIRLS vs. ROAD HOUSE

Remember, 'cocksucker' is just two nouns put together to evoke a response.

(There's a director's commentary where the douchebag says the movie "went into a world no one had ever seen before.")

i am a roadhouse man but after re-viewing showgirls today with a friend i have to say it's pretty incredible. elizabeth berkely is terrible in a bizarrely compelling way.

Also the movie is enhanced if you interpret it as what would have happened to Jessie fromSave by the Bell if she had continued her caffeine pill addiction

This is a vision.

Reposted from Chicago thread because I feel that I must further share this exciting information.

Oh! That reminds me -- D told me that some Italian director is making a sequel (that has absolutely nothing to do with the original) to...are you ready?

SHOWGIRLS.

I want to note that these were the circumstances that brought us Troll 2(Italian director, nothing at all to do with the original, schlocky )

The trick would be if they kept the original cast.

No, I think it has potential! Maybe one little cameo, like the WORK IT dude or something. Troll 2 had NONE of the original cast of TROLL (which included Julia Louis Dreyfus and the kid who played Atreyu!)and it was spectacularly bad.

Thought I'd read that Rena Riffel is making her return.

ooh read where?

at work, can't google

am running to n/sfw problems myself
oh well

http://www.showgirls2.com/ (TRAILER!)

I am NOT impressed. Totally misses the point and ALSO I heard it had a $25 million budget but I am not seeing this in the trailer, like at all.

Ugh. Pass.

(Apparently Rena Riffel's character is making a return, not the actress.)

Clearly time for a Road House 2/Showgirls 2 thread.

I agree, the trailer looks terrible. Against all odds, I maintain hope.

I guess I will watch Showgirls this year, after watching Road House in '09.

Eternal wisdom. Along with "It was tails."

I showed "Showgirls" to the Viceroy tonight. He said Nomi reminds him of my sister, which makes this movie about 20x funnier.

!

Does your sister come from different places?

Has your sister ever eaten puppy chow?

Did she ever try and eat all the chips in the house?

How does she like havin'em?

Is she one of those Mafia girls? Is that why she carries a BLAAADE?

You guys are killing me!

lol, i gotta see this again

Does she burn when she dances?

OK has anyone noticed how in the beginning of the movie when what's her face is walking to the table with the sodas and fries, there are Halloween decorations everywhere and you can hear a bunch of kids yelling "Trick or treat, smell my feet, (etc.)"?

showgs for sure

Coz like apparently it's perfectly normal for a bunch of children to go trick or treating AT A FAST FOOD JOINT ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP

Well, wouldn't you?

S1ocki proves himself an unworthy Canadian by not sticking up for the legacy of his countryman Jeff Healey. (I might lie.)

Omg I notice more and more fucked up misogyny with every viewing

Like at the end after Molly's brutal and psychologically traumatizing gang rape, the nurse just smiles and goes "Yes, she's okay" when Nomi came to visit, and how its framed in such a way that you, the viewer, are supposed to sigh with relief and go "Oh thank god, all is well"

My friend commented that storming out out of/away from things seemed to be Nomi's exercise regimen.

<3 both of these moobies

Showgirls really needs it's own thread

My friend commented that storming out out of/away from things seemed to be Nomi's exercise regimen.

hahahaha
your friend OTM

He also wondered aloud if the dancer who landed on her ass and broke her knee was stashing celery in her back pocket.

Also how the fuck do you chip your tooth on a Quaalude?

Very carefully, obv.

that's like choking on yogurt or some shit.

I'm sure there's some embarrassing celebrity disaster out there like that.

"How did you meet your man?"
"He was my physical therapist; I broke three of my fingers kneading some dough"

"How did you meet your man?"
"He was my podiatrist; I fractured my heel during a paraffin bath"

These all sound like snippets of non-sex scene porn dialogue. (Appropriately enough, obv.)

"How did you meet your man?"
"He was my doctor at the ER; I slashed my jugular while spreading some cream cheese on a bagel."

FUCK I wish I had found this when I was writing my paper...

Doc: Your file says you've got a degree from NYU. What in?
Dalton: Philosophy.
Doc: Any particular discipline?
Dalton: No. Not really. Man's search for faith. That sort of shit.
Doc: Come up with any answers?
Dalton: Not too many.
