Basic Instinct 2

[lilly]

Being a fan of the multiple-birds-via-one-stone approach--erm, so to speak--I marshaled my defences tonight and embarked on a noble quest to satiate Lucinda's Hand Porn requirements. Hope this'll hold ya for now, hon.

Probably-needless caveat: some of the pictures herein may be of a spoileriffic nature, but I suspect that if you're visiting this forum, chances are excellent that you're probably not gonna watch Basic Instinct 2 for the plot anyway.

Ladies and gentlemen...presenting the purported, "charisma-challenged nonentity." *eyes roll back so far in head this incites a seizure*







Oh, baby, you can definitely run through my pages any ole time...









Poor Lupin seems to be rather lost in those can-I-jump-in-and-drown eyes there. Can't say I blame him, though.





Kinda impossible not to have gone, "Jeez, they really DO keep killing Suzie!" huh?





(All this and a Mac user too! YEE-HOWZA.)





"Now, who has my cookie, exactly? And how much is the ransom?"



Goodness, but that's quite the impressive weapon you've got there, mister. The gun ain't bad either.



"Drink me in, folks...there are no bad parts!"



And regarding that last one...Hand Porn + Death Porn = WIN!

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou...am like an amoeba with pics (hand porn or otherwise), luv 'em!!!!

Charisma challenged nonentity...LOL Well I guess reviewers are paid to be creative free-thinkers, aren't they?

Captions are great too, but...

Alternative caption for gun pic (following from last caption) 'I would very much like to have my cookie returned. Please.'

Tea = onto keyboard. LMFAO!

Tonight I was talking to a friend who mentioned she hadn't seen any good sex scenes in movies lately, and while I first said, "Perhaps you have heard of this little item known as, 'porn' on the 'internets'?"--at which she demurred--well, surprise, surprise, guess which item immediately sprang to mind?

Though when she expressed her admittedly-understandable disbelief that there were any redeemable aspects to BI2 whatsoever, I could only scold her, "C'mon, missy--a little hot nasty hatesex is good for whatever ails ya!"

In retrospect, probably not the most ringing endorsement I could have come up with, all told. *facepalm*

[kitty11]

Speaking of nefarious references to BI2, I was reading a US article previewing The Next Doctor (which has apparently not screened in the US yet, along with the other Dr. Who specials...and to think we were behind here in Oz ) and had made mention of US audiences only knowing DM for being 'that guy from BI2'. However much I'd like to disagree with that statement, the writer might be right there

Though I tend to try keep things on the DL, La Kittenissima Gloriosa knows perfectly well exactly how well my capacity to STFU usually goes (i.e. poorly, at best), and thus when I have been pressed by my fellow Yanks to identify the source of my utmost hormonal uproar, I've tended to reference The Other Boleyn Girl on the grounds that

a) it's a more recent movie, and

b) they're slightly more likely to have actually seen it.

(Whether or not I abstain from mentioning BI2 on the grounds that they might be somewhat less likely to laugh at me is at best a neglible co-factor...no, really!)

Considering that most of the folks I associate with IRL are not of the sci-fi geek persuasion, I don't tend to cite Doctor Who either...especially given the recent revelation that my niece evidently has always thought it was a band, LOL! I was all, "What did you think, hearing me talk about 'my Doctor' almost your entire life?" and she shrugged, "I just thought you liked the lead singer, or something."

See, this is why I felt so much more at home in the U.K. than here. Y'all get my references, dammit, and though I've always felt like an alien no matter where I am, here I'm like a srsly freakyass alien, whereas there I felt more like a lovably odd alien instead.

Okay, I've decided to treat this as our de facto BI2 thread, rather than create a separate discussion in the, "TV/Film" section. I trust y'all can deal.

I summoned up the noive to rewatch this sparkling piece of cinematic dreck earlier in the week, and while it does remain primarily outstanding for its sheer awfulness, I also have to say that all in all, Mr. Morrissey gives a far more sensitive, nuanced performance than the material deserved...as is admittedly his wont. (Any allegations of potential bias on my part will be met with a gigantic smirk of acknowledgment.)

Plus you gotta give the guy props for taking chances like this--sometimes that line between potential Oscar and Razzie nominations is a thin one indeed, after all.

One thing that really struck me about this movie on this viewing, though, was the fact that Sharon Stone's character is just SO monumentally smug, crass and thoroughly unlikable that it gave me some fairly unpleasant food for thought about my own tendencies in terms of having manipulated men for my own gains in the past; even though kitty--sweet thing that she is, don't let the snark fool ya--asserted that she doesn't think I'm anything like that (I haven't been implicated in any deaths, anyway), I still couldn't help reflecting on ways that I could have been a better person than I was.

(Yes, Miss Austen Regrets resonated unduly for me--gee, why do you ask?)

And since IMO any opportunity for self-reflection can only be wholly positive--look, yet another redeeming value to this film right there!

...as if the unmitigated levels of insanely luscious bootyliciousness weren't enough already?

Like a lemming I found myself blindly falling off the cliff in revisiting BI2 again, having seen it the first time without the heady Keylock spectacles on, and therefore laughing myself stupid at the sheer awfulness of said film. Well second time round, it's been four days since I watched it and I still don't feel coherent enough to post a reasonable response, but I'll try...

- For starters, plot-wise BI2 didn't seem as bad as when I originally saw it, though I'm still utterly stupified as to why Dr. Glass pursues Tramell when all logical arrows point to him needing to do the exact opposite Perhaps it was the frightfully absent chemistry between the two of them, or Stone's smarminess, but I just couldn't get why he goes after her (aside from this being an obvious plot driver to the rest of the story).

- It's not as if we should isolate DM as being some kind of sucker for being involved in this turkey, as there were a few other pretty damn good actor-folk duped as well, such as Charlotte Rampling and David Thewlis (along with Hugh Dancy, whom I adore). For some reason I didn't think anyone was being overly hammy/cheesy performance-wise given the tripe they were forced to portray. In fact, if this were in the hands of less accomplished actors it may have turned out a helluva lot worse (if that's indeed possible ).

- I loved the last scene to bits ;D I won't spoiler it too much other than to say it is an absolute marvel watching a guy act almost entirely with his eyes...of course it helps that they're so friggen damn pretty that you find yourself abiding by the ol' cliche and getting kinda lost in them *gazes wonderously in anime-style teen girl fashion*

- As for assessing its nudie eye-candy value, I guess that would be best typified by my initial reactions following a particular sex scene where there's a bit of nasty hair pulling, to which I immediately thought, "Aw, I want him to do that to me."

Geez, I'm nuts. I'm FAIRDINKUM nuts *smacks at head repeatedly* But there you go

(Aaaaaand once more, I go to post and am greeted by another ad for those suspiciously cut-rate Christian Louboutins; my insane lust for pretty shoes having recently been reawakened, I immediately try to scroll down and avert my eyes from it.)

Anyhoo...das kitster and I seem to be evolving into one lean, mean screencapping machine, but given that I've got six days left to either pack or divest myself of my belongings, it may take a while to get them all posted.

Just to start off with two notable selections from the current crop, though--this first made me once again implore kitty to stop making me howl with laughter in the middle of the night (probably waking up my neighbours in the process), owing to her file name of, "Alfalfa."



And re: this second, as I said to her...OMG, THE NECK PORN IN THAT SHOT!!

*faints for several hours, comes to, has no idea where she is or what her name is*

"Neck Porn...I vaguely remember Neck Porn..." *sways, faints again*

This time out, we have a few of kitty's stated favourites (along with a little sumpin-sumpin for lucinda at the end as well).

First, however, my latest fit of overly-boisterous laughter stemmed from kitty's file name for this: "Stunned Mullet with a Gun."



Though looking at this particular assortment, it does occur to me that Mr. Morrissey looks unduly traumatised in these shots (though admittedly poor Cookie-Deprivation-Boy appears that way much of the time); still, this does cause me to wonder if Her Petite Aussieness' preference for these shots is perhaps a manifestation of certain personal issues...?!

[kitty11]

Thanks for fixing those caps Lilly

Re my fav shots erring on the mellow side...aw, you know my typical inclination towards him being a merry rather than sad panda, but I find those particular pics compellingly alluring somehow (maybe because he's being sad sans the usual squinchy face)

Once again proving I am far too easily entertained... (Well, that one, anyway.)

Lilly, that last BI2 shot is truly gorgeous - I am totally with Lucinda on the hand porn. (Thinking of which, I have just been on YouTube rewatching There Goes My Everything, which may be the ultimate in hand porn - the shoulder caress, the unzipping, the hands slipping under the dress, the fingers running down the spine.... And still she prefers Peter? )

*smacks at head*

I soooooo shouldn't have revisited that clip before going to bed

And still she prefers Peter? )

LOL, I keep citing DT as my fangirly boyfriend of sorts (have liked him for a fair while and pre-new DW), so I can kinda understand her sentiments there
