The film doesn't come out until tomorrow but audiences who have sat through sneek previews are dogging the new Sharon Stone "Basic Instinct 2" sequel as a bad movie. A very, very, very bad movie.
I'm predicting that this will go down as one of the worst films of all time - bad enough to rival "Showgirls". As if the movie isn't laughably inept enough, Sharon Stone has gone mental on the publicity tour, and has been saying a lot of wierd s**t about how sexy she is (the 48-year-old does a full frontal nude scene in the film), how she thinks Hillary Clinton shouldn't run for president because she's too "sexy" (ewww!), and she's spewing forth "advice" to teens about the "safety" of oral sex.
Well, I'd like my little teen cousin to advise Sharon not to wear sparkley gold lipstick and not to hammer-spray your hair until you look like Medusa. Makes you look bat-shit crazy, it does.
The problem with "Basic Instinct 2", according to a review at msn.com, is that the movie "is so laughable that it’s likely to place prominently in Entertainment Weekly’s next roundup of the all-time dumbest sequels."
Page Six wrote that at the premiere Monday night, "audience members kept cracking up at inappropriate times ... like when Stone intones, 'Not even Oedipus saw his mother coming!' One audience member said: 'The only thing worse than the dialogue were Sharon's implants.'"
Save yourself $10 and don't see it. Ain't It Cool News sat through it for you, and wrote up this review. Here's a few choice quotes:
"As it turns out, that trailer MGM dropped on us was complete, utter horseshit – a farce of such unrelenting chutzpah that I can’t even begin to explain. But I’ll try, by god, I’ll try."
"You see, while this film isn’t epic in the same fashion as an Eszterhas thriller, it easily, without hyperbole, becomes a top entry into the ‘worst sequel to a blockbuster film of all time’ list. Seriously, this movie is just. that. bad."
"Laid atop one of the weakest, unnecessarily convoluted plots known to man, it achieves brand new levels of ‘WTF were they thinking?’ making this the surefire leader of the pack for the Razzies, easily sweeping in the categories of Worst film, Worst director, Worst Actress, and most notably and ironically, the Joe Eszterhas Dis-honorary award for Worst Screenplay."
"There are exactly three sex scenes in this movie. One with a single nipple and some bobbing man ass. Another with a single nipple and some bobbing man ass. And a third, with two exposed nipples, and yes, dare I say it, more bobbing man ass. That semi hot looking threesome in the ‘trailer’? Never actually appears in the film - the third person in that three-way ...never actually appears in the film."
"But there’s something to be said for a movie this bad. And that is that it’s really, truly, amazingly funny. When it’s not being boring as all fucking hell, that is. It’s filled to the brim with beautiful nuggets of pure gold that any drunken film watcher will split their pants laughing at. But this is only recommended for the most astute and well trained of ‘bad movie watchers.’ This isn’t amateur level bad. This requires someone ready to deal with soul crushing banality for minutes at a time to enjoy the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I mean, it’s just plain gawd awful."

I like Sharon Stone. She is the "new" version of Za Za Gabor. Famous for nothing, bad at what she does, and very self important.
Now only if the dinosaur would have bitten her toe off, now that would be a story!
