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

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.)"?

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.)

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.

Road House probably just for the line: "I used to fuck guys like you in prison." Both these movies are pretty unwatchable sober.

I am going to Las Vegas this summer and have already srsly started planning my trip around this film, more or less. I mean as it stands, my impression of Las Vegas comes directly from this film.

I read this the EXACT SECOND the dialogue was spoken!

I used to work backstage with a dance troupe.
About 95% of this film does not apply, but what's left, um, reminds me.

Also, a "response" of sorts from the dancers of Jubilee! at Bally's, which is apparently the last "Goddess"-type show left in LV :( File this under "Fucking DUH" or "Missing the goddamn point"
12 Inaccuracies in the Movie Showgirls
By the showgirls in Jubilee!1. Nomi Malone wouldn’t be in a Las Vegas production because shecan’t sing (or act).2. Showgirls do not live in trailers.3. Showgirls aren’t discovered in strip bars.4. Showgirls do not pimp themselves at conventions or trade shows.5. Hotel owners do not throw lavish cast parties.6. A lead dancer does not become a celebrity.7. No one learns a show in a day.8. Pushing someone down the stairs doesn’t get you a lead role—itgets you fired.9. Ice is used backstage to treat injuries, not to erect nipples.10. Leaving rehearsal to go to Spago to drink champagne is generallyfrowned upon.11. Showgirls are not coke-sniffing, champagne-drinking lesbians.12. Anyway, showgirls do not drink champagne backstage—we preferJack Daniel’s!

I would also like to take this time to point out that there are no battles taking place in space and animals cannot talk.
Thank for you letting me know that showgirls do not live in trailers, do not become celebrities on the scale of Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson, and cannot learn an entire show in one day. Here, this whole time I thought this movie was funny because of the silly costumes!
― jj n° fad (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd like to know how they can be so absolutely sure about the last two points.

Number seven: We used to learn/teach shows in a day. OK, they were mimed, and the dances were'nt exactly hi-energy, but still.

i guess it's a good thing Jubilee! wasn't the basis for Showgirls, woulda been sorta boring
