Reasons to not remake Basic Instinct
Having caught the trailer for Basic Instinct 2 on TV last night I feel justified in listing ten reasons why this should never have happened.
1. There is enough misery on the planet.
2. Surely the money could have been better invested helping pretentious New York poets finding a real venue to perform in.
3. Sharon Stone did done enough damage with the film Gloria.
4. We barely got to see her minge last time (those who spent the time looking for it), do we really need/want to see it fifteen years later?
5. Joe Eszterhas should not be encouraged.
6. My foot hurts (this is actually a quote from a film – anybody know it?).
7. Does not the fact that they could not drum up any other major actors for the film make you question the value of the script?
8. Because it is going to reinforce the many stereotypes in Hollywood and wider America about Brits (that they’re gay and evil).
9. Because this is really going to screw with my plan to write a novel, about a writer who writes thriller tales that start to get re-enacted in an eerily similar fashion starting with a former lover.
10. Because as a result I am expending an awful lot of time thinking about how awful it will be.

11. Stan Collymore should not be allowed to grace the silver screen, even if it is just a small cameo.

It will undoubtedly be almost as painful as Eric Cantona's appearance in Elizabeth, or most of Vinnie Jones career on the silver screen (though parts of this are salveageable).
