[b]Sharon Stone Sags[/b]
Well,

I Guess hollywood has run out of actresses who will bare breasts, so they have to go back to OLD faithful Sharon Stone. By OLD I mean 47 years worth of sags that I wont pay to see. There is no one on this cast list I know or care to know, including Stone.

Actually, are there any good actresses out there besides Naomi Watts who will show breasts? By the way, I love you and respect you for it Naomi. Its part of the beauty of film to reveal oneself, even if it is a lesbian scene or a masturbation scene in Mulholland Dr. Kudos to you Naomi.

That's Stone's business! She has no way out and only this film successful. I'm sorry for her that she needs a sequel to revive her career.

A sequel to Basic Instinct will NOT revive Stone's career...

what are great actors like david thewlis and charlotte rampling doing in this crap? Although i probably would've seen a basic instinct sequel if david cronenberg was directing like originally planned.

[b]Catherine Trammell, we've missed you![/b]
Looking forward to seeing Catherine Trammell again in action. I watched this movie over and over, wondering who the killer was. I was not so sure that Catherine was the killer, were you?

Catherine Trammell is what this movie is about. Remember, Sharon Stone is merely the actress, playing this part. This is who we want to see. SS may well be in her forties, but age never hurt anyone. Don't you wish you were 47? Or, are you 22, and only into looking at 'babes'. SS is a serious actress and a damned good one too. She makes Catherine Trammell come to life. Remember that.

[b]Sharon Stone needs her feeding tube removed.[/b]
Ouch, that title maybe in poor taste, but I think it speaks for itself. Stone is a fossil. She's dated. Her career is dead so let it stay that way. I'm sure when this stink bomb comes out, it'll be #1---just like other poop-stains like "the Pacifier" or "Hitch". Speaking of worthless careers, Vin Die...
