I'm not really bothered if I know 'the secret nature of a gay man's heart'. It's shite, shite, shite.

I've never seen this film.

Perhaps gay men should turn it into a Rocky Horror Picture kind of affair. That I would pay good money to see.

and a LOT of the dialogue. my favorite is the scene with Cristal and Nomi talking about eating dog food and loving it, and Cristal saying she chose her name after the champagne (though she neither spells or pronounces it like the champagne.

and the commentary is HILARIOUS. from amazon:
The primary supplemental feature on the Showgirls VIP limited-edition DVD is a commentary track by David Schmader, who gained fame for hosting an "annotated" version of the movie (think Mystery Science Theater 3000). The track is subtitled "The Greatest Movie Ever Made," and Schmader explains himself thus: "Showgirls triumphs in that every single person involved in the making of the film, from the writers, actors, gaffers, every single one of them is making the worst possible decision at every possible time, and it's this incredible density of failure that makes Showgirls sublime." (He make an exception for Gina Gershon.) He wittily discusses the recurring "chips 'n' nails" motif and what Nomie's dancing reminds him of.

Please tell me your favorite dance move is when she is standing off to the side and watching the showgirls dance re-enacting their moves where she puts her hands up and then waves them across her face back and forth. Damn, I wish I had a picture of that scene!

that would be AWESOME.

you really really should see it. it's so spectacularly awful it's good. when you watch it, don't for one second try and take it seriously, just smoke out (if you partake) and get ready to laugh

but of course. there was one time i was watching ryan rehearse at his piano for a performance that night, and when he looked up at me, i did that move with that patented nomi stare and he died laughing.

I can picture you all now. You were all freshman, 1st week of college, you all got drunk and fucked up on weed. One of you thought it would be cool to rub your cock on the guy who passed out while your other pal photographed. You secretly enjoyed it one thing led to another and here we are today ryan, chris, steven, brandon and you. Thanks to 60 cans of bud and an ounce of weed you create a diabolical thread about a shite movie

cborgman said:

The commentary is so spot on You can't even believe they were trying to be serious with this shit, and yet they were!

i don't understand why people are shocked. most gay men LOVE this movie. the bar ryan's boyfriend chris works at plays it all the time on the tvs in the bar.

i love love love this movie-everytime it comes on vh1's 'movies that rock' i sit down and watch it....guilty ass pleasure

"its a ver-sace"

a know of a large lesbian contingent that loves this movie as well.

it was airing in our lobby at work today on logo.

personally, i haven't seen it since it was in theatres. a revisit is overdue.

"Don't piss me off that we're friends darlin'"

I love to hate this movie. What the hell is she all mad about????? Classic. Let's not forget the Prince music and Gina Gershon's hospital room, 319.
