a tourbus full of showgirls breaks down in a small sleepy town; these tough young ladies end up patronizing the local bar, where one of them discovers that she and the taciturn bouncer share a sordid past that could leave them both dead

Nayman talks a good bit about Susan Sontag's theories of camp, as well as about what might be called pop understanding of camp. His discussion centers, again, on intentionality as it relates to quality, summarized by Sontag in her quip, "it's good because it's awful." For Sontag, Nayman argues, the essence of camp is the fact that it is unintentionally dreadful, and therefore wonderful—it's camp as outsider art. Nayman adds, correctly I think, that in many pop discussions of camp, that dynamic is reversed— something is campy, and therefore good, if it recognizes and revels in its own awfulness.

i just skimmed a gajillion 'contrarian' takes on showgirls (ACTUALLY, ) and it's kind of amazing how many of them seem to disdain things that aren't even bad really ... like everyone feels the need to acknowledge how 'awful' certain aspects of it are ...
