Of course I don't just sing the lyrics, but rather change them to rant, cuss and bitch along the way. It's really fun. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
"Showgirls" I have it on DVD. I've seen it more than three times. It's awful in ways that other movies only aspire to. It's the "Citizen Kane" of bad movies. Absolutely jaw-dropping.

Thoth2- you think? Even taking gourmand at it's most literal usually means a rampant fondness for good food and drink.
pfflam: I can only think P.V. knew exactly what he was doing- the scene where Nomi paints her teenage-mutant-ninja-press-ons (to music usually reserved for Rambo starring on the ammo) so she can kick the crap out of the "rocker" guy who raped her friend could not have been done without a heavy dose of irony, if not a heapin' helpin' o' camp.

Look no further than Robocop, another Verhoeven film. The thing is, he gets a bit sidetracked with sex and gore the the point that those aspects of his films aren't nearly as campy or ambiguous as he would think they are. but I digress...

Basic Instict is his as well.

Man, I must have watched those films about a zillion times, had to buy them on DVD cos the tapes were so worn out.
Also enjoy listening to Kylie Minogue, my girlfriend even buys me her CDs, though I would never admit to anyone else!
Fox's "Son of the Beach" Hilarious...
I like... (it's okay you can say this here) Debbie Gibson and Michael Jackson.
