“I can see Russia from my vagina.”
Best thing Gina Gershon has done since the glorious trainwreck that is Showgirls:
You’re welcome.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Not true. Showgirls was 1995. Bound was 1996. Bound is awesomer than Showgirls. Q. E. D.

Bums me out no end that I can’t watch vids from the BB. But I am ordering a SARAH PALIN FOR PREZNIT 2014 bumper sticker anyhow. Cause that’s how I roll.

And shouldn’t the quote be more “I can see Oval Shaped rooms from my Vagina!”? (Seeing as how Most rooms would be roundish shaped if you could view them via….Nevermind.)

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Tina Fey saved the republic in 2008. The most effective tool against the tide of teatardness is scorn and ridicule, and if a hot chick wields the tool, we all win.

Gina Gershon does have the most amazing mouth on the planet, so I’ll give her a pass on Showgirls.

I like this one:

@freelancer:
Bound was the movie that first made me realize that I was bi. If only all ladies were as hot as Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly!
Mako
Gena Gershon, unfortunately, has always been considered the poor man’s Salma Hayek.
Are the video’s really worth watching, I got a an internet cap here, something you people don’t seem to consider.
Sleeping Dog
Sarah Palin? Her clock has run out, she’s so yesterday.
Gravenstone
@Karen: I sat through Showgirls at the request of the young lady I was seeing at the time. Being bi herself, she had quite the hots for Gina and wanted to share the experience with me.

@Lolis: I thought that was Cthulhu’s presidential campaign slogan.

@Mako:
Are the video’s really worth watching…(?)
No. Sadly they are really not funny at all. Just stupid and plodding. There really is more to comedy than dressing someone in a flag and eyeglasses.
Gravenstone
O/T (as if there were one in the first place), but listening to classic Chicago really, really loud does wonders for clearing ones head from the day’s quota of shit. Gotta wonder where they’d have gone had Kath not killed himself.
I think Diana Ross and the Supremes are next on the agenda.

@stuckinred:
I once heard “Saturday in the Park” in Grant Park in Chicago on a Saturday, and it was the Fourth of July. True story.
Mako
@Gravenstone:
Personally disagree, Eric Johnson has always been the trendsetter in this area.
stuckinred
@Omnes Omnibus: Remember when they were CTA? You must.
stuckinred
@Gravenstone: 1978 was a tragic and transitional year for Chicago. The year began with an acrimonious split with long-time manager James William Guercio. Then, on January 23, guitarist/singer/songwriter/group co-founder Terry Kath died of an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound. One account describes Kath’s drunken last words to guitar tech Don Johnson: “Don’t worry, guys. It isn’t even loaded. See?”[11
Gravenstone
@Mako: Johnson got pigeon holed with Cliffs of Dover. If I want to listen to an instrumental guitarist, I’ll typically go back to what I was listening to in college, various members of the Shrapnel label, especially Tony MacAlpine and Michael Lee Firkins.
Gravenstone
@stuckinred: Yep. Again, I wonder if he could have held off the 80’s Cetera ballads onslaught had he not ended up killing himself. Granted, he was the author of arguably their most famous ballad, Colour My World, so he may have been quite comfortable with the direction Cetera ended up taking them.
Omnes Omnibus
@stuckinred: I don’t think I am old enough.
stuckinred
@Omnes Omnibus: The first album is Chicago Transit Authority and, when the Chicago Transit Authority threatened to sue them they changed their name to Chicago. Same with Pacific Gas and Electric, PG&E. People want to talk about guitar players? Not many have heard of Glen Schwartz of the James Gang and PG&E. He found de lawd and has played a tiny joint in Cleveland for about 40 years.

@stuckinred: Interesting.

@Gravenstone: Yea, I hated it when BS&T went pop after their 1st album too.

It’s hilarious.

ABL, you really need to see Gina Gershon’s amazing performance on the Psych episode “American Duos”, where she does a wonderful Paula Abdul (spoiler: it looks a lot like the first video).
Jager
Didn’t anyone see Gershon as the orthodox jewish dry cleaners wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm? She was dynamite even with the scarf on her head.

What freelancer said on Bound, one of the best long-con flicks of the past several decades.
Pre-Matrix Wachowskis.

@Mako:
I found the first one hysterical. The second was a bit too perfect in capturing Palin for me to do more than appreciate Gershon’s talent.
And here’s another vote for “Bound.” They hired Carol Queen as a consultant to choreograph the sex between Gershon and Tilly. It showed. Those were far more realistic than what you’d see in two dozen girl-girl flesh flicks.

There actually was a Cthulu-for-President campaign kit somewhere around the 80’s. But the motto was:

@Three-nineteen: Best episode ever.

Sarah Palin? Didn’t she bang Levi Johnson? Or was that some other ignorant moose-fucking dimwit?
Bobby Thomson
@stuckinred: Yep. Still have Chicago Transit Authority on vinyl.
The shift after Kath’s death was immediate. I remember excitedly buying a new Chicago album and thinking, “You gotta be kidding me.”
General Stuck
LOL, thanks ABL, for turning me on to Gina’s Palin skit. Hilarious. Didn’t know Ms. Gershon had such comedic talent.
am going to watch all of takes.

@Gravenstone: They’d be in the Rock Hall if Terry was still alive.
Also, he didn’t purposely kill himself. He was stupidly & drunkenly fucking around with a handgun & accidently shot himself.

@Three-nineteen:
Yes, very much that.

Funny stuff. And Gina Gershon? In the words of Adam Sandler in the Hannukah song, “that’s a fine lookin’ Jew.” Hot like Chernobyl.
Loved the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where she plays the orthodox dry cleaner’s wife. When she and Larry are finally in the hotel room to consummate their fling (Cheryl’s 10th anniversary present to Larry was permission to have a one-night-stand), Larry asks her about getting a stain out of something. Her reply, which will stay with me until I die: “Laundry or fuck, Larry? Laundry or fuck?”
