For those of you who don't already know what every nook and cranny of Sharon Stone's body looks like

...apparently she's all kinds of naked in the forthcoming, and totally necessary, Basic Instinct 2. That's a link to an "uncensored promo reel," so be so advised if you were thinking of clicking on it from the office.

I've no wish to be unkind to Ms. Stone (who is, after all, one of God's creatures and as deserving of compassion as all), but...Basic Instinct 1 was almost 15 years ago. It shows. And it doesn't help that...

Well, say what you will about what we may infer about (Basic Instinct 1 director) Paul Verhoeven's feelings towards women based on his work. Or for that matter, what we may have read about him in Joe Eszterhas' good (seriously!) books. His camera loves them and he knows how to make a woman look...I think the word is "yummy" onscreen. The first movie (separated from the sexist aspects of the screenplay which, frankly, still leave me a little queasy) looked great.

Basic Instinct 2 director Michael Caton-Jones's camera does not love Sharon Stone, and based on the promo reel, it looks a lot like made-for-cable soft-core porn. Not that I've ever seen any.
