Second opinion

Showgirls (again)


On a second viewing I have to say there is a lot of lame dialogue in this movie. Not just lame, but cringeworthy. One line in particular, just before she goes out to the pool. Also the scene where a dancer has an injured knee - love that diagnostic moment. Not as consistently bad as Avatar though. Just did a typo there which made me think maybe this is a precursor to Avatar - thin, long-legged beings in a strange alien world, selling their bodies - welcome to Avatart. But seriously folks, this movie has the worst joke, the worst sex scene, the most bad-taste moment, and a completely irrelevant little side story - why is James and his dance in this movie? There is too much dancing and too much nudity - titillating no, boring yes. Good things - the makeup is great (except for the heavy handed use of lipliner), music must have been okay as I didn't notice it. Best bit - the violent revenge scene. Elizabeth Berkley is gorgeous and deserved better than this.
