The actress herself wrote and directed it.

Or does Special Agent Paul Atreides just have a magic dink? I think Elizabeth Berkley is a replicant, though.<br /><br />So that's why I mention Verhoeven. He directed "Robocop."idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-72832322808295852672014-03-26T06:36:30.301-04:002014-03-26T06:36:30.301-04:00Judging by the words I typed, you would have thoug...Judging by the words I typed, you would have thought the Versace saleswoman directed this movie, as I didn't even mention Paul Verhoeven's Dutch ass once.<br /><br />Your statement regarding Gina is a truthful one.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-78246901051204940122014-03-26T02:20:32.477-04:002014-03-26T02:20:32.477-04:00Going through your review again, I have to say you...Going through your review again, I have to say you championing the Versace saleswoman scene pretty much epitomizes the "toilet seat-esque sheen flicker" of this film. I caught this on the late late show here in Japan many years ago and watched just to see what all the hoopla was about. They showed it uncensored (since it was 2:00am). Nothing Elizabeth Berkley did was sexy, hot, or interesting. Just stiff and weird. I thought she would break a hip or something with all her thrusting. The whiplash pool sex scene was downright comic. Maybe Verhoeven just hates your gentiles and wants you to feel bad about yourself.<br /><br />Gina Gershon was and still is totally hot, though.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-31089065602964835132014-03-25T07:35:47.017-04:002014-03-25T07:35:47.017-04:00Well, it is big sweaty half-naked men throwing eac...Well, it is big sweaty half-naked men throwing each other about.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-86768411598046883222014-03-25T06:15:18.063-04:002014-03-25T06:15:18.063-04:00Ahhh, wrestling!

If Verhoeven even has a theme to his films. Maybe its just a happy accident. Or failure doing everything right.<br /><br />Anywho... fun little fact, Big Sexxah Kevin Nash was once the head bouncer of the Cheetah, a similarly named but unrelated strip club in Atlanta.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6kG_QC1tjsidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-37246915422226284492014-03-23T23:10:12.596-04:002014-03-23T23:10:12.596-04:00I got around to watching this one a few years back...I got around to watching this one a few years back, and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I'd been led to believe. Don't get me wrong, it's not in any way a good movie; but I've seen much worse. Sadly, probably the best thing I can say about it.Nine-Fingered Menacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805957315306533577noreply@blogger.com
