The world where Paul Verheoven—director of Showgirls, Total Recall, Starship Troopers, RoboCop, and more—is a respected Biblical scholar is the same world in which “Hilary Duff” is a related search on YouTube for “Basic Instinct Trailer.” So let’s get you geared up for tonight’s Paul Verhoeven reading at Powell’s, shall we? A reminder of the (NSFW) genius that is Paul Verhoeven, after the jump!
Dude craps out his career from too much booooze and coke and now he is “born again” and becomes a biblical scholar. I call BULLSHIT!
That’s the way it always seems to go. Jesus is for people who can’t handle a little partying.

Ah, crap.
Born Again? The guy’s movie have always been filled with Christ-figures. He’s still the same mad-genius that he’s always been. Black Book doesn’t show any signs of him mellowing out.
