Showgirls is the perfect example. Fun sexy stuff happens in thst movie and it makes sense.
What? Showgirls is a movie that makes gratuitous nudity tedious and uninteresting, and I thought that was the point, that the whole plot arc is that the commodification and exploitation of women’s bodies is gross and bad with the main character’s growth over the story being that she realizes that even the most “glamorous” form of that sucks and is bad and that literally being a violent lumpen drifter is a better thing than taking part in it?

Yes, that is the point. It does artistically intresting things.
