      <![CDATA[I can't really contextualize Eszterhas' work as I haven't seen any movies he scripted besides Flashdance, which I like but which is (you're right) not funny, neither intentionally so nor intentionally "unintentionally", like Showgirls. So on that source of the humor, I guess I'm an agnostic.

      <![CDATA[Mike: Thanks for posting your old review! I saw on Metacritic that you liked the movie, and was bummed to discover that Mr. Showbiz no longer made it available.

      <![CDATA[I didn't like it at 16 and haven't revisited it, but Paul, I do take issue with "I think Verhoeven was playing it conservatively for professional reasons... and he ended up draining too much of his personality out of this project."<br>
<br>
I remember reading at the time that Verhoeven fought the studio a bit over tone: he wanted to go further with the unsavory implications of invisibility, particularly the ability to fulfill desires without consequence.<br>
<br>
And Ben told me as we were talking this one over that "Verhoeven claims that his location scouts were instructed to find an apartment complex in D.C. that had the exact same distance as the buildings in Rear Window." This for an invisible man movie with Kevin Bacon!

      <![CDATA[I don't find anything in Hollow Man actively objectionable. If you're really high and see it with a good audience, it will definitely feel lightly likable.

      <![CDATA[Hey! I praised this baby, at long-defunct Mr. Showbiz, to wit:<br>
"Like it or not, Kevin Bacon’s penis has become something of a minor celebrity, and those so inclined can receive, in the spiffy new invisible-man schtick Hollow Man, a veritable Baconian schlong variety pack: you see the member skinless (amidst body-layer transformations that explicitly refer to those “3D Human Body” models we had as kids), you see it through infrared glasses, you see it invisibly coated with water.
