Hey everyone! Welcome to my 10th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. As you already know last month here on SuperMarcey.com I posted up poll with three bad movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films had the highest votes, I would watch and live-tweet for this column. Well, the votes are in and you all have spoken. It was absolutely landslide for one film in particular and It’s one that I know for sure that my podcast co-host SuperMarcey has been wanting me to watch for a while! For this instalment of Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon, you guys wanted me to watch and live-tweet… SHOWGIRLS! Will I figure why Nomi is always cracking a tantrum all time? Does it deserve all the multiple Razzie awards it won? Read on and find out! Enjoy!

The MGM Lion is warning me to stop watching this movie #Showgirls
Nice jacket Elizabeth Berkley #Showgirls
Clearly this guy that picked up Nomi didn’t steal his haircut from Elvis… And as well as his speech patterns #Showgirls
Well, if Elizabeth wanted to do something that would destroy her SAVE BY THE BELL image, she found the perfect project in this one #Showgirls
Nomi wins all that money and then loses it all 5 seconds later. At lest the film is being realistic about Vegas in that regard #Showgirls
Stop attacking that car, Nomi! What did it ever do to you? #Showgirls
Nomi just threw up. Just like everyone else did when they watched this film #Showgirls
I haven’t seen a friendship form this fast since Jason & R.J.’s in NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER #Showgirls
Was that Michael McDonald on the radio? #Showgirls
I think the word ‘snatch’ has been said 80 times in the span of a minute in this scene #Showgirls
Oh dear God! I’m having STAYING ALIVE flashbacks! #Showgirls
I’m not even 12 minutes in and I think I’ve seen more boobs in this film than I have seen in my entire life #Showgirls
What’s up with that guy’s purple vest in the background? #Showgirls
Hey, there’s k.d. lang! Oh, wait. That’s Kyle McLachlan. Sorry. #Showgirls
Geez, Nomi likes to throw a tantrum a lot doesn’t she? #Showgirls
Acting #Showgirls
What the hell? What on Earth is Nomi doing? That’s not dancing, that’s having a fit. #Showgirls
Say what you will about Elizabeth Berkley in this film. But I got to give her credit for going all out for this role. #Showgirls
Boobs. So many boobs. #Showgirls
Robert Davi. Bad arse. #Showgirls
I like how this film sets up the character of Hope but yet we barely see her at during the rest of the film #Showgirls
Nomi just licked that stripper pole from bottom to top. Eeeewwww! #Showgirls
I think Elizabeth Berkley’s acting range consists of either being pissed or throwing a tantrum #Showgirls
You know for someone who says that they have never worked in a strip club before, Hope seems to be more of a pro than anyone else #Showgirls
I’m starting to get a little scared about how Elizabeth is really dedicated to this role #Showgirls
Whhhhhooooaaaaa man
#Showgirls
That’s a lllllooootttt of grinding #Showgirls
Look on Kyle McLachlan’s face after that lap dance is hysterical lol #Showgirls
Besides a lot boobs, this film likes to show a lot of… Ummm… Other things too #Showgirls
Clearly this guy isn’t stalking Nomi at all. #Showgirls
“You burn when you dance” Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s a treatment for that. #Showgirls
Nomi likes to grind a lot, doesn’t she? #Showgirls
Yeah, can definitely tell that this film was directed and written by men. #Showgirls
“I want to see your ass” I bet that line works on all the women, mate. #Showgirls
Is this guy related Michael Ironside? Cause he kind of looks and sounds like him. #Showgirls
This guy isn’t subtle about what he wants #Showgirls
Man, the dialogue in this film is… Wow #Showgirls
What on Earth is up with Gina Gershon’s character? She has a weird fascination with Nomi. #Showgirls
As ashamed as I am to admit this, this film is kind of amazing. But I’m not sure why. #Showgirls
Nomi is quite a quick learner. #Showgirls
Oh, for crying a loud. She’s grinding again! #Showgirls
I think I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen boobs in this film. #Showgirls
Well, Nomi’s stalker James moved on to someone pretty quickly. It’s barely been an hour since they last saw each other. #Showgirls
It’s pretty eye-opening how sleazy and trashy this film is. #Showgirls
Seriously, how can anyone not know how to pronounced Versace? Everybody knows how to say that. #Showgirls
Every time I hear quaaludes mentioned in a film now, the first thing I’m going to thinking of will be THE WOLF OF WALL STREET #Showgirls
You know, I kind of feel bad for Nomi when she finds out that she’s been saying Versace wrong. Seriously, I do. #Showgirls
Monkeys! #Showgirls
That dancer has a lot of anger issues. #Showgirls
Elizabeth Berkley must have trained for months and months and months to dance that good. Even I’m impressed. #Showgirls
I honestly have no idea what the hell is up with this James character. But to be fair, I could say that about everyone else in the film too #Showgirls
Is it just me or does it look like Nomi has at lest 7 inches of makeup on her face #Showgirls
Oh, look! Texas stereotypes! #Showgirls
You know watching this film for a second time, I’ve noticed there’s a lot of foreshadowing of future events #Showgirls
Yeah, if someone is offering you a $1000 to just stand around and smile, I would honestly be very suspicious #Showgirls
Just in case it isn’t obvious to you. When they say ‘sing’, they mean having sex #Showgirls
I bet every time Kyle was on the phone, he wanted to call his agent and tell him to get him out of this film. #Showgirls
Yep. Nothing says the 90’s like a lot saxophone solos #Showgirls
Wow. Despite Robert Davi’s character being a hard arse, he is really a softy at heart #Showgirls
“Must be really weird not having anyone cum on you” … Did I just hear that? That was actual dialogue from the film?! Wow… #Showgirls
That line took all the acting strength that Robert Davi could muster just to say that with a straight face. I’m impressed. #Showgirls
Don’t ask me why, but I can’t stop looking at Kyle McLachlan’s hair. It’s weird looking! #Showgirls
Geez, even when Nomi is having sex with someone, she acts like a complete utter crazy person #Showgirls
Umm… Are you sure that skirt is short is short enough, Nomi? #Showgirls
Okay, the films has taken a turn and is slowly becoming a remake of ALL ABOUT EVE. #Showgirls
Oh, snap! Nomi just got owned #Showgirls
Is it just me or does Nomi eat a lot of burgers in this film? #Showgirls
It’s bizarre how some characters start being one way, then go into the complete opposite direction during the course of the film. #Showgirls
This dance number is really… Umm… Something. #Showgirls
Jazz hands! #Showgirls
Nomi looks really evil right now. #Showgirls
If the actor whose playing the producer character isn’t related to Michael Ironside, he’s definitely channelling him with his role #Showgirls
Yeah, Janet Jackson would be a good substitute for the show. Since she already has experience showing her boobs at live events lol. #Showgirls
You know if this film were directed by Werner Herzog, he definitely would have cast Klaus Kinski in the role of Nomi #Showgirls
Kyle McLachlan has more makeup on his face than the entirety of the female cast in this film. #Showgirls
Oh, fashion in the 90’s. You’re so hilarious! #Showgirls
Rob Zombie! Oh, wait. That’s not him. #Showgirls
Man, every male character (even Robert Davi for a little bit) is a complete utter jerk #Showgirls
Ummm… Okay…. This film just took a sudden turn into the deadly serious. #Showgirls
Oh, dear God! #Showgirls
Wait a second! Hold the phone! Nomi’s real name isn’t Nomi?! *DA-DA-DDDAAA!!!* #Showgirls
That’s a lot of spit #Showgirls
Okay, has gone from being into ALL ABOUT EVE territory to now going into I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE territory. Just not as bloody. #Showgirls
These actors are really dedicated to their roles, aren’t they? #Showgirls
Okay, so when did Nomi turned into Bruce Lee? #Showgirls
Now everybody’s kung fu fighting! #Showgirls
I don’t know how Elzabeth Berkley didn’t become an action star after this film cause what she did before was awesome! #Showgirls
Seriously, some of the motivations of these characters don’t make any sense at all. #Showgirls
*Cue the song “I Kissed A Girl” by Katy Perry* #Showgirls
Is Nomi wearing Crocodile Dundee’s hat? #Showgirls
Oh, look! It’s Elvis wannabe jerk from the beginning of the film. He is so going to get his comeuppance #Showgirls
Directed by Paul ‘seriously, I’m not a perv’ Verhoeven #Showgirls
Written by Joe ‘seriously, I’m not a perv either’ Eszterhas #Showgirls
I can’t decide if SHOWGIRLS is actually a bad film, a good film or both. But I do know one thing: it’s definitely something. #Showgirls
I hope everyone enjoyed reading this 10th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon! Keep a look out in April for the next one which could one of the following three films: GYMKATA, THE PAPERBOY or STEEL. Which one will it be? Vote on the poll which will be posted here on SuperMarcey.com soon!
