remember the negative reviews of this when it came out..  29 years later, time to check it out  :teddyr:

I'm disappointed with this film because it started out in 'good' way (good meaning craptastic that is)... the acting was nearly laugh-out-loud tv advert level, and the direction reminded me of Dario Argento after he stopped caring.  and some of the dialog was hilarious ("italian men are ass-pinchers, my bum is now blue!"... "pearl jam, is that some kind of indian sex act?")

sadly it turned boring. I don't know why so many films do this, they just get immersed in boring stuff that drags on forever. no amount of running around or suspenseful music can disguise the fact nothing's happening.

Sharon Stone as ever (for me anyway) manages to be 'hot', without being remotely sexy... can't really explain that.

so this could've been a campy fun-fest but it turned into a wet fish. 5/10 :hot:

It's one of those movies, like Pelican Brief, that I can't remember if I saw it then I watch and think "yeah I have seen it"

yeah I can see it would have that kind of feel to it... it's pretty generic in a lot of ways

btw I think Stone is great in CASINO... nails the role

I really can't recall Sharon Stone in anything but CASINO!
She was great in it, for sure!  :thumbup:

for all its notoriety, I honestly can't remember if I've seen BASIC INSTINCT or not?

she turned up in an episode of TJ HOOKER I watched the other day... was quite a big part in the episode

I was just rereading her IMDB credits, & I've only seen a few of her movies, & I really only remember The Quick And The Dead

How did it happen that no one can recall many of her films, yet she's a movie star?  :question:
I checked out her credits, too. CASINO is the only thing I ever seen her appear in.

EDIT: I seen her in TOTAL RECALL (1990)- I guess?  :question:

Critics liked her, or so I recall it............

I've seen her in a few movies (offhand Total Recall, Basic Instinct and Assassins? (one with Stallone, not 100% sure of the name),, but I can't remember anything else she did being as big as Basic Instinct. The last thing I watched her in was Catwoman.

Only 2 two things have made me want to see Sliver:

1. The Simpsons:

2. The UB40 video.

interesting Simpsons parodied it, guess it made more of a cultural impact than I thought...

I started a thread once like 20 years ago about "rooms full of tv's in movies" and I think Sliver came up

so yes, massive culturally impact!

oh yeah, this place is the litmus test for what's hot

 if your film hasn't made it into a badmovies.org 'Top 100...' thread, then you're a gaddamn nobody !  :smile:

^ I can't believe the BAD MOVIES forum is still here after all these years when most forums are dead as a door nail.  :buggedout:
Pretty far out! That says something!

What it says ?, I'm not sure.
We're dinosaurs!  :bouncegiggle: :thumbup:

Oh yeah- the dinosaur is in back of you, numb nuts!

I'm cool with that.  :teddyr:

Basic Instinct made erotic thrillers in the 90s popular again, but yeah, Sliver was bad. These weren't much better:

Color of Night (1994)
Jade (1995)
Body of Evidence (1992)
Whispers in the Dark (1992)
Traces of Red (1992)
Love Crimes (1992)
Dream Lover (1993)
The Temp (1993)
Disclosure (1994)

I always thought Stone's intro in that slinky dress from Action Jackson (1988) was pretty memorable.... So was her outro...
Otherwise, I've never really sat through the movie, at least with the sound on.....

lol BODY OF EVIDENCE... that looked dull even back then, from the trailer.


but not extinct... yet!

^  It's because we're all so cool!  :thumbup:

If I saw any of 'em I don't remember.  I do remember BODY HEAT but that's 80s. 

I saw Body Of Evidence at a second run cinema....
I found not only inane, but driven entirely by clichés....

Is this a memorable stone flick?
I've never seen it....

I actually saw this one in the theatre, back in the day. A later TV airing hasn't changed my mind about it: Sharon Stone looks good, but the film is boring, boring, boring.

And there are also a couple of things that certainly don't help matters: 1) William Baldwin is awful and 2) the post-production tampering is very noticeable. Somebody thought it was a good idea to change the identity of the murderer at the last minute. Not that the murder mystery has much weight in the plot.
