Incredible!&#8221; That sounds great until you remember that she&#8217;s never been known as a great actress. I don&#8217;t mean to sell her short- there are some scenes where she is absolutely riveting- but they are surrounded by acting that ranges from &#8220;okay&#8221; to &#8220;bewildering.&#8221; Jamie Lee Curtis is strong, as she always is when not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/2024\/08\/08\/movie-pass-adventures-borderlands\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1612\">terribly miscast and slogging through dreck<\/a>.  But my favorite performance was from Dave Bautista, who gets to play small and subtle. I&#8217;m really glad he&#8217;s been able to somehow avoid always being cast as &#8220;Large Angry Fighting Person.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And now some (very) slightly sad news!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started making fake posters this year so I could use them as replacements on Letterboxd, but the site where they draw posters from is cracking down on fan art, which means this is the last one you&#8217;ll see on Letterboxd (and it will probably disappear from there). The good news: you&#8217;ll still see them here! Another great reason to visit my blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-last-showgirl-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Alternate poster for The Last Showgirl roughly copies the look of the ad campaign for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.\" class=\"wp-image-2178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-last-showgirl-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-last-showgirl-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-last-showgirl-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-last-showgirl-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Othe spoof considered include: The Las Starfighter, The Last Dragon, and Last of the Red Hot Lovers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nomi Malone was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies","category-photoshop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2176"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2180,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176\/revisions\/2180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
