Quite a lot to think about, and reflect on. Now I need to watch them both side-by-side.

I was very pleased by the way the films played off each other. The women’s picture is a useful framework for understanding SHOWGIRLS. It was not without moments that would have been right at home in say, DANCE GIRL DANCE just as one example.

The “midnight movie” intro for the film at this screening was dismaying. (Certainly many of us would like to be Peaches Christ, but really . . .) Perhaps the young woman enjoyed her moment, but I thought it was a bit patronizing.
