Gina Gershon.... America's daikon


From Showgirls to Bound, Gina Gershon makes unwatchable films a little more watchable.

Elizabeth Berkley imitates a mannequin this scene with a hungry Gina Gershon from Showgirls.



Not since that Saturday Night Fever sequel Staying Alive has a stage show created such emotions... I am assuming they were going for laughter and dismay no? I mean I have expected to see Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel in the audience counting their upcoming fortune.




I have seen Bound a couple of times and it has never connected with me. Now after watching that clip above with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon I guess I'm going to have to see it again until I like it.



Thank God for video because I'm not sure mere words are up to the task of describing how bad the movie Showgirls really is.




More fine acting by Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls... meanwhile our girl Gershon looks like she could be trying out for a more adult Laura Croft.



Why am I reminded of a Love Boat episode or perhaps a Quincy? Is it the set design? The music? or a plot point that wouldn't be out of place in a Brady Bunch episode.




Gina Gershon and Tom Cruise in Cocktail... I'm a little surprised she didn't break poor Tom in half.




Gina Gershon, in a rare clothed role, looking worse than usual walking down the street with Hillary Swank who honestly looks a little better than usual all in the horrible titled film "P.S. I Love You" which is surely about vampire invasions or a plague or something.



Now this is the Gina Gershon we all now and love... cue the Maneater music.



Ah the 1980's when supermodels tilled the soil before those hard working Mexicans invaded our borders and stole their jobs forcing them to move to Vegas and star in badly disguised porn films.

Which is worse Elizabeth Berkley's Acting or Elizabeth Berkley's dancing??? Mystery for the ages I tell you.
