11 May 1992
I was wrong about Hook being the worst movie I've ever seen. Jasmine, her aunt, her aunt’s friend, and I went to see Basic Instinct. Now, if the next movie I see is worse than this, I’m going to have to stop going to movies because this was awful. It was just a gross, senseless, violent, depressing message about the current attitudes towards women. Every woman in the movie was a murderer and was sleeping with (I mean having sex with) one of the other women. Every murder in the movie was committed by a faceless woman, and the question was never solved of which one it was – they were interchangeable in that sense. Also, they were psychotic, lying, back-stabbing, scheming, and lots of other things. Incidentally, Michael Douglas played a man who was all these things, and also a murderer and also had sex (even raped his "girlfriend") and he was the hero of this film. There was no sense to any of it.
