‘Showgirls’ Critics Should Seek Refund

* I’m wondering, upon reading the many letters objecting to the screening of “Showgirls” in Ventura County at privately owned movie theaters, how all these people know so much about the film’s content. If they all plunked down their money expecting a “family” movie and feel misled, (even in the face of the advertised NC-17 rating) they should demand their ticket money back from the theaters.

If they are guessing at the movie’s content and value because of the rating, they should simply stay away from the film, instead of cluttering up the letters pages with their censorship invective. If enough people do this, the theaters will get the message.
