Historically, the 4th of July has meant drunk rednecks, Ford trucks and Chinese firecrackers. For us, however, the 4th has been all about hiding in the bushes masturbating while the older kids skinny dipped and, more recently, passing out after an afternoon of high-fructose pasta salad, imported beer and hash brownies. Once again, we look to porn to help us parse the multiple signifiers of this grand American tradition.

Midnight Mass 2008 Season Opens With ‘Showgirls’

San Francisco’s underground drag phenomenon, filmmaker and cult leader Peaches Christ is back again this summer with a new season of Midnight Mass, and the film series premieres this 4th of July weekend with the “most American movie ever screened,” Paul Verhoeven’s 1995 masterwork, Showgirls. Some call it a camp classic, others call it trash, but we would argue that Showgirls is a truly rare breed among cult films: a high-budget Hollywood tits-and-ass flick written and directed with intentional, intelligent, subversive wit by screenwriter Joe Esterhaz (Flashdance, Basic Instinct) and director Verhoeven (Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers).
