  • Showgirls Comes of Age
    SHOWGIRLS COMES OF AGE PHIL HOBBINS-WHITE POPMEC RESEARCH BLOG Showgirls, Paul Verhoeven’s much-maligned erotic film celebrates its twenty-fifth an- niversary later this year. This essay seeks to re-assess the film—which was almost uni- versally derided upon its release in 1995—now that it is a quarter of a century old. Telling the story of a drifter who hitches a ride to Las Vegas, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) works hard to climb the ladder from stripper to casino showgirl, making a series of acquaintances along the way, many of whom are only looking to exploit her. On the surface, the film seems to be simple, made to satiate the desires of the audi- ence—primarily heterosexual males—however there are arguments to be made that Showgirls is so much more than that. This essay is in two sections: firstly, this part will contextualise the film, acknowledge some of the film’s criticisms, and will then go on to consider the film as a postmodern self-critique. The second instalment will go on to analyse Showgirls as an indictment of America in terms of its hegemonic structures, artificiality, its exploitative nature, and stardom. There is just so much interesting context to Showgirls, including the choices of direc- tor and writer, casting, budget, marketing, Hollywood studios, and the certification of the film. Showgirls is directed by Paul Verhoeven, whose reputation had grown with multiple successes in his native Netherlands before making the successful Hollywood films Robocop (1987) and Total Recall (1990). It was with his 1992 erotic thriller, Basic Instinct, that Verhoeven really became a household name director.

  • Telling Lies in America Joe Eszterhas Is a Big-Bucks Screenwriter Who
    Telling Lies in America Joe Eszterhas is a big-bucks screenwriter who earned millions for slick trash (like Flashdance and Basic Instinct) and total trash (Jade, Showgirls) but who now has returned to his roots with his latest script. Very different from his previous efforts is Telling Lies to America , a coming of age story about a Hungarian immigrant kid growing up poor and ambitious in Cleveland (Eszterhas’ hometown), in the early 1960’s era of burgeoning rock n’ roll. The kid is teenager Karchy Jonas (Brad Renfro), an outsider at his high school who still has trouble pronouncing that tough “th” of English and who has to work nights at an egg plant to help support his factory worker father (Maximilian Schell). Karchy has an inchoate desire for a better life and grabs his chance when a local celebrity, slick disc jockey Billy Magic (Kevin Bacon) takes him on as a go-fer. Billy, willing to plug teenybopper tunes for dough, really loves rhythm and blues (what he calls “sweaty collars and dirty fingernails music”), and he humors Karchy because he recognizes his own deceitful youth in the lad. In a new cool jacket, Karchy dreams of being a dj himself, complete with the girls, the hot car, and the flash he sees Billy possesses. His newfound hustle, however, loses him the respect of his old-country father and his co-worker and girlfriend Diney (Calista Flockhart), and, when he gets mired in Billy’s payola schemes as a material witness for government investigators, he learns the price of prevaricating to get ahead.

Tamás Zákonyi Cinematography by : Buda Gulyás Production Desing by : János Szabolcs Costume Desing by : Beatrix Aruna Pásztor Original Music by : Nick Glennie-Smith Producer: Andrew G. Vajna Directed by : Krisztina Goda Website: www.szabadsagszerelemafilm.hu SYNOPSIS The year is 1956. While Hungary is only a small slave nation within the massive Soviet Block, it is also a superpower – its national water polo team is invincible. Even locked behind the Iron Curtain, the players feel like kings. Thriving on success and enjoying the attention of every girl in the country, they stand self-assured and unified. The team has lost only once in 1955, when a referee in Moscow simply did not let them win. The team are now bracing themselves for a rematch due to take place at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. History, however, throws a major obstacle in team’s path, and a revolution breaks out in Budapest and the young star of the team, Karcsi (Iván Feny ı) and his friend, Tibi (Sándor Csányi) get embroiled in the events occurring out on the streets. At first, they are only out for adventure, but a fiery student - Viki Falk (Kata Dobó) - from the Technical University catches Karcsi’s eye and in following her steps he finds himself right at the heart of the uprising - the Kossuth square and the subsequent siege of the National Radio station.

  • Dear Members of Our Faith Community; March 7, 2021 This Weekend
    Dear members of our faith community; March 7, 2021 This weekend we have in the Book of Exodus 20:1-17 the enumeration of the ten commandments the knowledge and practicing of which people have often equated as necessary for being a “religious” person. What we need to remember though is that before there are “commandments” there is a God who out of love creates and out of love seeks to establish a relationship. The Hebrew Scriptures show us a God of the covenant who takes the initiative to love, to guide, to accompany, to journey with and to forgive and be merciful. The commands are given as a gift to people who freely choose to respond to such a caring and gracious God, to such a wonderful relationship, and who want to know the guidelines which will help them to maintain a loving relationship. In this reading we have a God described as “I the Lord your God am a jealous God …showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me (Ex. 20: 5-6)”: a passionate God whose love and mercy is inclusive (the “alien resident” among you). Do I, do we see our God as my, our God but also as the God of the other, not just people from other lands but also people who are different, living and doing things “alien” to my, our ways? The Gospel of John 2: 13-25 show Jesus cleansing the Temple. The other Gospels place this at the end of the ministry of Jesus; the scandal that will cause the arrest of Jesus.
