TS: SHOWGIRLS vs. ROAD HOUSE

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.

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

Showgirls is on now.

hooray

Always a cause for celebration.

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.

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

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.

"How did you meet your man?"
"He was my OB/GYN; I punctured my cervix inserting a tampon"

Actually that is totally crass enough to have been actual dialogue from the film.

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 she
can’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—it
gets 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 generally
frowned upon.
11. Showgirls are not coke-sniffing, champagne-drinking lesbians.
12. Anyway, showgirls do not drink champagne backstage—we prefer
Jack Daniel’s!
