Hate how excited i am for this movie. I'm fucking crying at two people comparing it to showgirls though. Can't fucking wait for it to leak

[tanglespiders]

I was a maybe, but plague-time Showgirls, you say? Sounds like my kind of movie.

Was sold instantly with lesbian nuns. The showgirl part of it all just cracks me up, because all i remember is the pool scene. I literally sent a link to my friend with that, she miraculously managed to forget about that part.

yeah, but trust no man, you know? even if starship troopers and robocop are masterpieces

[ishi_chan]

can one watch this already somewhere? asking for a friend

[omni_videns]

I'm wondering too...

[fight4thislove]

No, won’t be out till the Fall. IFC is releasing it stateside and rumors of a recut are coming for theatrical because they’re afraid it’s too graphic and will get an NC-17 rating, meaning the uncut version won’t be seen until it hits Blu-ray.

Why can't we have nice things in a timely manner!!!! 😭😭😭

Gotta say, I was not at all interested from the description, but am slightly intrigued after seeing the reactions. I'm sure there'll be a vocal backlash once it hits theaters in the US.

[odetothefool]

[therearewords]
