The Big Bangs Theory: Kyle MacLachlan in Showgirls



For those of you who have somehow missed out on the Showgirls experience, wait no longer. After a long, draining week I plunked in my DVD (which I ordered from Amazon but had yet to take out of the plastic) late last night.



The 1995 Paul Verhoeven film features a mostly naked Elizabeth Berkley, a mostly topless Gina Gershon and a briefly naked Kyle MacLachlan. The film has the distinction of being one of those films considered so bad it is actually quite great. You know a film is great when the thrusting of an ex Saved By The Bell actress can turn the gay men who hold Showgirl viewing parties. I had not seen the film in about 10 years and it was just as good/bad as I remember. The film also has DWTS Carrie Ann Inaba as a back up dancer, actor Alan Rachins and his ice cubes and MacLachlan's oddly terrifying big bangs.







Doesn't everyone pour champagne on their nipples when swimming late at night...

OH MY GOSH! That hilarious swimming pool scene where Kyle MacLaughlin is balls deep in Elizabeth Berkley while she flops around like a fish. I have never seen a movie not meant to be funny that is laugh out loud hilarious. What a ridiculous mess!
