Some actresses just fade away after 40, their carers suffering quiet, dignified deaths, like Ali MacGraw in Love Story. (Both her character and her career.) Think of Geena Davis ending up on a new failed TV series every year, or Elisabeth Shue doing four scenes as Dakota Fanning’s mom.
Other careers, like Sharon Stone’s, go down in a great torrent of flaming wreckage, much like Sissy Spacek’s demise in Carrie. And just when you think they’re finally dead, a desperate hand reaches out from beneath the soil and attempts to claw back to the surface. And then you realize it was all a horrible, horrible dream.
With that, I give you the reviews for Basic instinct 2. They’re atrocious, of course, and here’s the kicker: Sharon isn’t even naked naked naked nude nude nude for more than a few moments. Her tits reportedly look “lopsided,” David Morrissey’s pasty British ass gets just as much screen time, and that much-ballyhooed three-way scene is missing from the final cut.
Clearly, Sharon’s “great, Jewish woman” publicist is going to have to do serious damage control after this debacle.

OUCH!… and i was looking forward to this film.
Hey! Lay off the British ok? I reckon our asses are no less ‘pasty’ than those good folks who live in Massachusetts…
