turkish delight literally made rutger hauer's career
you have a point with spetters
hollow man (a sci-fi film) was not good

haven't watched the fourth man but it's apparently great and similar to basic instinct

show girls does not own. it's famously terrible, and not in a "the masses don't understand" kind of way
basic instinct is fun in an over the top melodrama way, though, I'll give you that

haven't seen turkish delight. black book was really bad, like shockingly terrible

showgirls trivia:

quote:

Elizabeth Berkley was paid only $100,000 for playing the lead in the film. When a special V.I.P. edition boxed set was released she requested $2,500 to be interviewed. They declined.

showgirls was written by an alien and verhoeven found the script in the desert. every character acts like some weird facsimile of a person.

michael keaton seems like a pretty decent dude in interviews and stuff but i don't think that i've liked him in any movie except beetlejuice

he really is more of a weird comic actor than a brooding, serious drama type idunno how he ended up there

did the costume budget run out before they could make another robohand for the new robertcop?

also is the new riddick basically like pitch black 2: pitchblackier? chronicles of riddick was so bad, it was basically two and a half movies cobbled together because they couldn't get a full movie out of "pitch black but in reverse" or "attack of the space nihilists"

what's funny is how the reviews were more mixed on this one and the stid-boosters are even angrier about negative remarks about it. like when people whined about the first one the onion summed up the response as "heh guess you guys just don't like fun" but now you've literally got roberto orci screaming "gently caress OFF" in internet comments

EDIT: also forgot simon pegg getting super pissed off about nerds too

i think it had "first season syndrome" where nobody knows if its going to stay on so theyre only halfassing the whole thing

guess they were right but still
