Uh, Geoffrey, I can't swear to this, but I think that Verhoeven, director of
Robocop, Total Recall, etc... is a different guy than the maker of
Showgirls, et al. Similar name, I know, but I really think they are two
different people (and I suspect they demonstrate two different attitudes
toward women in their films...)

Does anyone know for sure if they are different guys/same guy?
