Movies just don't suck me in anymore, and what I'm left with is feeling like I'm WATCHING a movie in front of me, like when I'm watching TV. But I'm not INVOLVED in it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-Jordan<BR/>www.timwarnermovie.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1147305706169430592006-05-10T20:01:00.000-04:002006-05-10T20:01:00.000-04:00After 14 years, the time had long passed that ther...After 14 years, the time had long passed that there was any demand for a sequel. It seems that every critic has made a point about Stone's age. A double standard to be sure; no one ever complained that Michael Douglas was in his mid-fifties when he appeared in the buff in Basic Instinct (his backside surely wasn't a pleasant sight). Also, what was shocking in 1992 isn't today (especially considering what is available on the internet). The first film attracted enormous attention because women's groups and lesbians protested the first film (because of the character of the lesbian killer). Many people saw the film to see what all the fuss was about.<BR/><BR/> Virtually no buzz surrounded the sequel. I'll definately watch it when it shows up on cable. Sharon is still a beautiful and classy woman!<BR/><BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
