Contains some spoilers for those who haven't watched the film....
Last night I watched some friends and I watched showgirls and I really can't help but post the about following thoughts and observations I made.
* Our main character of the film Nomi has some really weird moral convictions as throughout the course of the film in order to get ahead in her profession she has no problems with having sex with her boss,preform live on-stage lesbian sex and finally push her rival down a set of stairs. Yet she is morally outraged and draws the line when asked to use ice cubes in order to make her nipples perky.
* Also thought the film we are told that Nomi is supposed to be this great dancer and she is a sweetwise women. Yet whenever she dances she is by far the least impressive and looks like shitty dancer when compared to the others. Also rather than being sweetwise she comes across as a naive dumbarse falling for stuff that a six year old wouldn't.
*Whoever I can't help but wonder if the person who came up with the swimming pool sex scene between her and Kyle MacLachlan's character has ever had sex before. Because surely having sex like that in a swimming would lead to injuries of some sort and not to mention possible drowning. Also the overacting makes it look like it something that was out of the opening of Jaws.
* Also the rape scene near the end of the film where Nomi's freind Molly gets beaten and raped has be one of the most pointless rape scenes in the history of film. It comes the right f*** out of nowhere and really has no point as it is totally irrelevant to the rest of the plot. Not to mention its baffling when you consider that before it happens Molly is more than willing to have consensual sex with guy who ends up raping her. I can definitely see why some have said that because of this it stops the the movie from entering so bad its good territory.
