My Basic Instinct.

Somehow the second Basic Instinct movie came up today. It reminded me instantly of the original, which I had on tape almost immediately after it came out. I don’t remember where I got it, but I was 13 and I loved it. I specifically remember the interrogation scene where she uncrosses her legs and proceeds to show us her fish department (how can you forget, right). I remember this scene, not only from within the context of the movie, but from 4 years later when I watched my Mom throw my “blank” tape in the VCR to see if there was anything on it worth saving. As the VCR begins to play, I instantly recognize Sharon Stone’s beaver followed by a leg cross. Evidently that was where I had finished improperly touching myself. She looked at me mildly horrified and I reacted only as a young adult can when confronted with his early batin’ material by his Mother.

I laughed.

Take good care of your batin’ material kids. Someday this could happen to you.
