Dude, Your Movie Just Sucked

The Republicans are responsible for everything nowadays, if you put out a lame movie that nobody wants to watch, just blame Bush.

Paul Verhoeven, director of the first "Basic Instinct" (which scored $353 million worldwide) as well as the widely ridiculed "Showgirls" (now regarded as something of a camp classic), attributes the genre's demise to the current American political climate.

"Anything that is erotic has been banned in the United States," said the Dutch native. "Look at the people at the top (of the government). We are living under a government that is constantly hammering out Christian values. And Christianity and sex have never been good friends."

Oh please, the movie got a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, apparently the Bad News Bears remake is more erotic.
