Showgirls- So bad it's good?

[dodgepot]

I haven't seen Showgirls.

don't. it's an hour and a half or whatever of your life that you'll never get back. it's fucking dire, seriously.

The man is right. Its not 'so bad its good'

Its sickening, give it a miss. Let us know if Glitter is any good though!

 

[MightyAphrodite]

it's absolutely fucking awful. a horrendously bad film. no redeeming features. even the fact that it eventually comes to an end doesn't make up for the fact that it starts in the first place.

that sums it up well.

 

[Tank Girl]

despite voting it's so bad it's good, I must admit I did cringe a lot when I made dodgers watch it with me

but I think if I watched it alone again I'd love it still

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Thats quite a bump, did you search for Screech's penis?

I have next to no reccolection of doing this - all nighter...

still, good thread. Never actually seen showgirls. SBTB-wise, I was always a kelly fan...

 

[electrogirl]

It is amazing.

Ice and his posse break down in a small town and have to wait for parts. Ice (who can have any woman as the films opening establishes) attempts to woo this horse loving prude who doesn't want him (but does).

It's really low rent/no plot.

There is a really good fight (pathetic fight) where all the punch noises are shit 80 drum machine sounds.

Sounds brilliant! Especially the bit on bold.

I haven't seen Showgirls. I will have to add it to the list along with Glitter.

Hee.

I would add this beauty to that list too.

You are so camp. It is fabulous.

I recently bought it on DVD for the mother of an old friend of mine who has cancer (with a fairly bad prognosis afaik )...on the grounds that I have never, ever laughed more at a film than I did watching that with my friend and her mum....


So, SOOOOO bad, but so, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!


The swimming pool scene is also the worst sex scene I've ever seen.

It's a work of genius!!

 

[electrogirl]

Ha it's like a scene from Alien.

I just laughed even thinking about it.

Ice won a razzie for worst new actor with that film apparently. It was nominated for 6.

ahhhhhhhhhhahahaha

 

[electrogirl]

I want to see Gigli too, and Battlefield Earth.

 

[Pseudopsycho]

ahhhhhhhhhhahahaha

How does Species rate then?

 

[Fedayn]

I want to see Gigli too.

It's turkey time.

 

[Dillinger4]

How does Species rate then?

You know what the best line in Species is?

When they walk into that room where that woman has been torn apart.

And the psychic says "something bad has happened here"

*wees self*

 

[Melinda]

Is that the one where the pretty lady turns into a placenta monster?

That's the one.

 

[DotCommunist]

Take it from someone who will watch utter shite so long as it has aliens and spaceships. This is beyond shite. It's not endearingly cheesy or even laughable. It is leaden dull stodgy nonsense, really bad and just boring.

 

[Melinda]

That's the one.

Stone cold classic.

I suggest you read Swarfega's review before watching Battlefield Earth...

 

[Jon-of-arc]

I suggest you read Swarfega's review before watching Battlefield Earth...

I genuinely don't dislike battlefield earth. I watched it a second time...

BTW, seems like as an appropriate time as any to bring up the blatantly lame and distasteful JT joke...

"Did you hear that John Travoltas son died on a Friday night? Apparently they've ruled out Saturday Night Feve...r"

 

[Bomber]

Its Crap ... Full Stop !! However whats-her-face was cool in 'Bound' !
