tv alert!

Nobody liked Showgirls.

But for those of you who think the only problem with that movie was too much nudity, and that it would be very watchable if it were edited for TV and shown with commercial interruptions, you can watch it on TNT right now.

Hurry, it's just starting!  You'll miss vital plot points!

Don't bother-- get the Special Edition DVD (aka "Fully Exposed Edition") with the David Schmader audio track. He's apparently a semi-regular on the Daily Show or some such national venue, but back in Showgirls' day, he was (actually still is) a writer for Seattle's alt-weekly, "The Stranger," and he put on a show wherein he would stand on stage while the audience watched Showgirls projected beside/behind him, and he'd add his commentary, called "The Greatest Movie Ever Made."

Apparently the producers of the DVD had figured out that the watching-it-ironically crowd would be at least as big as the hey-this-looks-good-cuz-it-has-a-naked-girl-on-the-cover crowd, and hired him to do his commentary on the DVD.

It transforms the terrible drama into an excellent comedy.

You win at DVD. I think I'll Netflix it.
