2A Monday, September 25, 1995 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Some viewers more disgusted by audience than 'Showgirls' By Aaron Hull Kansan Staff Writer You could cut the testosterone with a knife at the Lawrence premiere of "Showgirls" Friday night. The film opened with a 4:15 p.m. showing at Dickinson Theatre, 2339 Iowa St., and went on to sell the 7 p.m. and 9:40 p.m. shows in the complex's 356-seat auditorium. David Innes, manager of Dickinson Theaters, said that the Friday 7 p.m. show was usually the least attended of the weekend but that 50 men lined up at the door for the showing. The 7 p.m. crowd, which was roughly 90 percent twentysomething males, cheered loudly during the previews for a scene showing Rene Russo removing her skirt. Many KU students attended, including some of its most visible. "I think we've got the whole football team team coming in," said Lara Haynes, Topeka senior and concessions stand worker at the theater. Innes said that many of the men seemed to have been interested in seeing Elizabeth Berkeley, the main character, naked. Berkeley used to act in the television show "Saved by the Bell." "I'm trying to get in touch with my feminine side," said Peter Bongers, Marysville freshman. The crowd roared its approval during Berkeley's first nude scene. She played dancer Nomi Malone. The few women present were not impressed with the audience. Ali Prijatel, Lawrence resident, said that she came because of the story but was disappointed. "Every guy came for the T&A," added Becky Bohannan, Wichita sophomore. "All I see here is a bunch of perverted guys," she said. Some viewers weren't impressed with the film. "It was horrible," said Nick Forti, St. Louis sonhomore. But several women in attendance were the strongest defenders of the film. ON CAMPUS April Calahan, Wichita sophomore, said, "The nudity wasn't what the movie was about. It was necessary. It was about how Vegas exploits women." Amy Lammle, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore, said that she felt the film would help people understand about the world of exotic dancers. "This put a face on it," she said. Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, said he was not surprised by the split reaction of the audience. "Women are conflicted by this type of presentation," he said. "We're talking about art, putting a face on a destructive part of the world. "At the same time, I'm not surprised that they were offended by the immaturity of the males. The immaturity reflects an enormous amount of objectification of women." Yearbook portraits will be taken through Friday in the Rotunda of Strong Hall.
