Just how fucking blitzed out on coke was Verhoeven while making this movie?
>>70643420
You don't get blitzed on coke. You get blitzed on pills that you take to come down from the coke.
>>70643420
I don't know, but I know I must have masturbated to this flick about a thousand times.
Very
>>70643483
this
Did Verhoeven ever say anything about this movie? Does he regret making it? It's such an odd blip on his otherwise consistent and solid filmography.
He really must had been doing mountains of coke, Tony Montana style.
>>70643553
He accepted his Razzie award
unironically one of the most under appreciated pieces of satire of modern times
>>70643553
It's considered a masterpiece nowadays.
>>70643625
lol no
It's a poorly made and thought-out flick, ruined by the obvious excessive cocaine usage while making it.
>>70643553
He defends it to this day, even wrote an long essay explaining how deep and meaningful the film is, which is in the now out-of-print Showgirls coffee table book
>Despite a negative theatrical and critical consensus, Showgirls enjoyed success on the home video market, generating more than $100 million from video rentals, allowing the film to turn a profit[7] and become one of MGM's top 20 all-time bestsellers.
Gee, I wonder why kek
>>70643447
>the innate nature of the word blitz
Are you sure?
>>70643667
wrong
Yes the screenplay is laughably bad, but Verhoeven's direction along with the production, photography and music is brilliant. What you end up with is the most well-made piece of shit in human history, Showgirls is best-worst movie ever
>>70643553
Dude if you don't like Showgirls as well you don't actually like Verhoeven.
>>70643659
awful movie
watching on regular TV where they cut out the nudity
have to stab myself with a knitting needle a third into the movie to start feeling things again
it's a masterpiece
There is a whole book defending this movie.
A lot of people complain that Showgirls is over the top, trashy, and ridiculous. That is EXACTLY what Vegas is! This film perfectly captures the essence of what Las Vegas is without sugar coating it. The environment that this film portrays could only exist in Las Vegas. On the surface LV seems like a glamourous place, but on the inside its a very gritty and sleazy place. The visuals in this film only add to the perfect environment that Verhoeven has created. There are some truly masterful shots of the city in the backdrop throughout the entire film.
I personally love all the performances. Kyle MacLachlan plays the ultimate slime ball. Elizabeth Berkley plays a character that is just trying to make it in this world and she will do whatever it takes to get there. Gina Gershon plays the perfect villainous goddess. Both of these ladies are so fierce and I was captivated by both of them. Everyone in this film over-acts, but that's the point!
Showgirls is a movie I will defend until the day I die. This film is a look at the America's obsession with money, power, and fame and how the three are intertwined in the downfall of our culture. Money, power, and fame changes people and usually for the worse. This film is a perfect exploitation and satire of America. This film is not so bad its good. Showgirls is genuinely a great film. I also have to give a ton of credit to Joe Eszterhas, the writer. This film's script is perfect. Do we really think the master of satire, Paul Verhoeven didn't know what he was doing with this film?
Just how fucking blitzed out on coke was Verhoeven while making this movie?
post that one webm...you know the one

>>70643420
One of the most fappable non-porn movie I know.
>Kyle MacLachlan later recalled seeing the film for the first time at the premiere:
>"I was absolutely gobsmacked. I said, “This is horrible. Horrible!” And it’s a very slow, sinking feeling when you’re watching the movie, and the first scene comes out, and you’re like, “Oh, that’s a really bad scene.” But you say, “Well, that’s okay, the next one’ll be better.” And you somehow try to convince yourself that it’s going to get better… and it just gets worse. And I was like, “Wow. That was crazy.” I mean, I really didn’t see that coming. So at that point, I distanced myself from the movie. Now, of course, it has a whole other life as a sort of inadvertent… satire. No, “satire” isn’t the right word. But it’s inadvertently funny. So it’s found its place. It provides entertainment, though not in the way I think it was originally intended. It was just… maybe the wrong material with the wrong director and the wrong cast."
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

what movie about cults is this from
>>70643859
>Gina Gershon plays the perfect
she was the bad pussy in Killer Joe
Showgirl was terrible from the first shot
Anyone else has an affinity for those stylish, metropolitan, dark 90's erotic thrilles, such as Sliver? I wish films like that came back.
>>70643985
youtube heavens gate
>>70643972
MacLachlan confirmed for a damn good cup of pleb
>>70643957
I don't see how anyone can fap to it, tons of nudity and sex but none of it is actually hot, just laughable.
Unless you're a big Saved by the Bell fan, then I could understand
Is Batman vs Superman the Showgirls of our generation?
I first 'saw' this in a sex predator warning video they showed us in elementary. A grown man was showing this movie to a kid all alone in his basement.
He was just introducing him to some titties, the fucks so bad about that?
>>70643420
Copycat clone in response to Leaving Las Vegas.
One studio hears another studio has a promising project, jumps on the bandwagon with a different angle. They did this a fucking ton in the 80's & 90s, when there were all these companies flush with cash, no idea what to do with it, and a desperate need for reassurance spending it.
>>70644379
LLV wins though, cause includes shota/anal rape scene.

Enough to use a snake for the poster

Jessie Spano's sex scene in the pool, spazzing out like Michael J. Fox after a case of red bulls is one of the funniest comedic scenes of all time.

>>70644015
It's literally all Joe Eszterhas.
I watched all of Saved by the Bell before I found out about this movie
That is a fucking good fap, my friends. Just cum before the pool scene, no one fucks like that at all.
It is one of the funniest films I've seen.
>>70645900
>Joe Eszterhas
Basically what would happen if a Mr Show parody of a self-important screenwriter came to life. Every story about that man is fucking hilarious, he really thought he was the next coming of Robert Towne or Paddy Chayefsky.
The one genuinely great movie he was involved in (Basic Instinct) was saved by the direction.
>>70643420
hissssss..........hissssssss...........ssssssssss...........
>>70644015
I dearly miss how everyone was white.
>>70643911
He seems like a good dude
>>70644047
I just loved fapping to Jessie from SBTB in that movie because I just remember her as this SJW on the show but would secretly be a freak in bed.
One of the few movies I have actually torrented on blu-ray. 11/10 breddy gud
>>70643667
>It's a poorly made
You're stupid if you think this.
>>70643420
The scene where she dry humps twin peaks legit made me fap.
>>70643859
When I saw it I assumed it was a satire of 50s Doris Day "career girl" movies where the girl from the sticks comes to the big city by herself, makes a female friend right away, gets a job working for Rock Hudson and falls in love with him.
Except now she's a sleazy stripper. A friend of mine refers to the movie as "Mary Tyler Whore."
>>70643748
There's a tv version where they draw on purple bra's over some of the nudity, it's pretty funny
someone should post them if they have it
>>70643420
She has a really long neck
>>70643420
it's quite a good movie
it's actually become a pleb litmus test
if you think it's shit then you likely don't know anything about movies
>>70643625
This
>>70643859
Exactly this
>>70643420
Never understood the hate this movie got. Watched it the first time when I was a teenager at night, didn't know anything about this movie, still don't know who directed or wrote it but enjoyed it enough to watch it to the end. Not a good movie but definitely not terrible. Many weird/unpredictable/interesting scenes like that nigger rape scene.
Are people just autistic?
>>70643911
what is the blue guy on the left trying to say?
>>70643911
Why are they clapping? It's not even an eagle
>a Showgirls thread on /tv/
don't believe I've ever seen one before, wow
great film, btw
>>70643420
what's um
who's this worm
On one hand, MacLachlan's career was once and truly crushed by this. Dune-squared.
On the other hand, if he'd really taken off as a actor then he probably would never have reprised Coop in the upcoming Twin Peaks revival.
THRUST IT
Solid movie desu
It's the most expensive 90's-style Skinemax movie ever made. Yes, it's THAT bad (inb4 it's not THAT bad)
>>70645809
It's hot as hell, though.
>>70646943
Dude, the bitch in Showgirls had a fling with a BBC. Doesn't she end up with him in the end, too?
>>70648407
Man, when she makes him cum, I'm always rock hard. The look on her face as he's ejaculating, fuuuck I'm getting diamonds right now - brb, torrenting a brrip of this movie
>>70643420
is that a snek?
Did Berkley do the dancing in the movie herself? Shit looked intense as hell.
>>70650815
GIRUGAMESH.
