"Basic Instinct 2", the long-awaited sequel to the 1992 sexy-psychological murder drama, again starring Stone, bit the dust on its opening foray, tying for 10th place in the weekend box office with only 3.2 million dollars after a slew of bad reviews.

1. I haven't been paying attention. Did Joe Eszterhas write this one

too? There was a line from #1 I can't get out of my head. "She took that magna cum laude pussy and done fried up your brain." My brain, if you must know, needed a shower after hearing that.

2. Looks like they waited too long..

I never saw the original, so I would be unlikely to see the 2nd one anyway:)

3. Reviews mean nothing, really

unless the audience also agrees. Many poorly-reviewed movies do megabucks worth of business.

Problem is, the movie-going audience (teens) doesn't remember the first one, because they were too young.

I think Sharon Stone looks amazing for 48, but I thought the first movie was ludicrous, though entertaining. I was very nearly traumatized in the first movie by the sight of Micheal Douglas's flabby naked butt, but I never had a problem looking at Sharon sans clothes.

5. "Beyond the Valley of Basic Instinct" would have been a better title.

11. Ouch. Didn't Stone get $14 mill for this one?

I bet the producers of this one feel like punks.
