I would like to take this opportunity to defend Showgirls. For those of us who grew up watching Saved By the Bell, we singled handledly willed this movie into existence. We got what we wanted, and it was worth the price of admission.
I never once wished, "Please let Elizabeth Berkley be nominated for an Oscar for portraying a WWII nurse who falls in love with a German."
I prayed, "Please let Elizabeth Berkley do a trashy B movie where she gets naked."
Don't bash what you don't understand.
