Initially I was going to post about a shower I had yesterday (exciting stuff I know but h0ld on and listen for a minute). After playing badminton at lunchtime yesterday I was pretty minging so I headed for the shower, “Oh” one of my colleagues said “there is still no hot water”. I shrugged and went in anyway to the most painful shower I had in my life, washing my hair gave me an ice cream headache and I managed to stand under the ice cold shower (literally) for around half a second, the rest of the time I huddled in a corner and washed strategic parts of my body with handfuls of water.

Anyway, when I finally exited the shower room (much to the relief of my colleagues who thought I might succumb to the cold) the scene was surely reminiscent of the moment Mr Darcey walks out of the lake in Pride and Prejudice.

But, that’s not what I’m blogging about today, I’m blogging about this, Basic Shitting Instinct:

H wanted to see this, so we popped into our local DVD store the other day and picked up a copy on Blue Ray (nice in HD by the way, in “that scene” you can literally resolve individual hairs).

Anyway, we watched through the entire film right to the climax (the film is pretty dreadful by the way and has aged badly), we reach the scene where Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone are in bed together right at the very end and you think she’s innocent. Then she reaches down the side of the bed while he’s not looking and starts to lift her arm up and you’re thinking “maybe she’s not innocent, is this an ice pick or is she going to attempt the New of the World Crossword” (such is the level of this movie) when with a quiet clunk we’re back at the first menu, with literally 20 seconds of the movie remaining (I won’t tell you what actually happens at the end in case you’ve not seen it).

In the end we had to run to the office and finished off the movie by searching on www.ruinedendings.com

Yes yes yes, I know what you’re going to say, this is what happens when you buy pirate DVDs but unfortunately we’re a bit stuck for alternatives here in Shanghailand. Anyway, it was only Basic Instinct..
