Basic Instinct (1992) – the Interrogation Scene


Several hundred thousand boys have spent several hundred thousand hours rewinding this scene to check whether you actually see anything. Stupid, really, considering they could just go out and get a girlfriend, but this scandalous moment made Basic Instinct and Sharon Stone’s career (and confirmed my suspicion that Michael Douglas is creepy). Stone plays a psychotic and manipulative writer who allegedly kills her lover. The rest of the film is notable for its violence at the beginning – famed for the use of an ice-pick – and its deliberately ambiguous ending.

80s Child

As my name suggests, I was born in the early 80s, the things I write about will be late 80s onwards. Pretty much my earliest coherent memories are of Italia 90, which gives you some clues! I'm English. I'll update this profile bit some more soon!
