In which we thrust along with thrusting queen Nomi Malone on her thirtieth thrusting anniversary. Almost universally panned upon release, Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls (1995) opened thirty years ago this coming September 22nd. The wild story of a maniacally determined stripper, er, dancer, trying to make it big in Vegas, Showgirls was absolutely savaged by critics. … Continue reading Thrust It: Showgirls at 30
