Keep ‘Showgirls’ Out of Our County

* I read the review about “Showgirls” in your newspaper. Thank you! It was a breath of fresh air to me.

“Showgirls” is pornography and not something I want advertised in my local newspaper.

* We are writing in response to the decision of the Thousand Oaks Mann theater to play the NC-17-rated movie “Showgirls.” We are highly offended that a Thousand Oaks establishment would seek to promote such filth and trash.

As members of the community, we have a moral obligation to see that the businesses operating here maintain a high standard of decency. By agreeing to play this movie, the Mann theater has consequently threatened to lower that standard. We strongly object to this.

* I was shocked by MGM-United Artists’ offering of the movie “Showgirls” and of the ads of this movie in the Los Angeles Times. The NC-17 rating of this movie is inappropriate for showing in Ventura County; such sexually explicit pornography violates my sense of the community standard for what should be available in our community.

* As residents of the Conejo Valley for more than 30 years and concerned citizens, my wife and I are appalled that a movie such as “Showgirls” is shown in our communities throughout Ventura County. We do not want this kind of movie. It is filthy and objectionable to every person who upholds decency and family values.
