Paul Verhoven is a scumbag

We've all heard the story about Sharon Stone being upset with the scene and what not, and I thought she was overreacting because I have seen the movie many times on tv and all I ever saw was pubic hair and that's it. A few days ago I saw a gif of the scene online and I was shocked to see that you can actually see her snatch!!! I was so shocked! Stone had every right to be offended and she should have fought for the scene to be altered, it's truly horrible and invasive to be honest, and not what she had signed up for.

I think Verhoven has added scenes back in that were cut out previously. In fact, I am sure of it.

Look at the Tripplehorn sex scene carefully. You see cameltoe without the fabric covering.

I KNOW that was not there originally, as I thought her scene was tame compared to Stone's.

It was still a betrayal and exploitation of Stone.

Verhoeven is a genius and that scene is iconic.

That is bullsh*t, the version I saw on the tv was obviously censored, but her genitals are clearly seen on the scene, you don't even have to pause, and it's something that she did not agree to. And what penis? You can't see any dick on this movie.,

lol you're pathetic and wrong, I obviously saw the uncensored clip later on and her genitals are easily visible.

Yes the first time I saw it it was a censored version on tv, then I saw an animated gif of it and then the actual scene again online without censorship and her vulva is easily seen, you don't even have to make an effort, and the fact remains that, Sharon Stone did not agree to be exposed this way, in the rushes she didn't see anything and that's what she thought would be seen, that it would be implied, so yeah he is a scumbag for exposing her like that.

Are you daft?? I haven't seen the entire movie uncensored, just Sharon's scene, so maybe it was fvking censored at the beginning too when I saw it on the tv.,

You are an imbecile, I haven't changed anything, you are just too much of a moron to actually understand what I initially wrote.

I don't believe she didn't know. For one thing, if you couldn't really see anything, there would have been no reason not to wear underwear.

She was so offended she goes on Conan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PZfFyWcYEM) 20 years later all smiles and giggles about it. It put her on the map, she has no reason to be offended.

Except she does. She turned the page obviously but at the time she had every right to be mad. Her vulva shows!!! I mean c'mon.

reply

[–] owlfy 9 years ago

She could have easily refused to do the movie. I call bullsh!t. She would be nothing without that iconic scene. Not to mention she's slutty in a lot of her films and even made a Basic Instinct 2. Poor her!

[–] LetThemEatCake01 9 years ago

What part of, she didn't know her vulva would show do you not understand?

reply

[–] owlfy 9 years ago

What part of, she doesn't care NOW do you not understand? I doubt she cared then either. Doesn't matter anyway as it was over 20 years ago.

reply

[–] LetThemEatCake01 9 years ago

When the fvk did I say she cared about it NOW?? NOWHERE. AND A SCUMBAG THING TO DO IS A SCUMBAG THING TO DO NOW OR IN THE PAST, AND VERHOVEN IS MOST DEFINITELY A SCUMBAG, THEN AND NOW.

You didn't, but you're making a big deal about it NOW.

Despite her anger, Stone admits she would have kept the scene in the movie if she was the director.

She continues, "It's so right for the movie and so right for the character but if I would have gotten that (perfect shot), even by accident, I would have had the courtesy to show it to my actor. But, I would have kept it in the movie."

She accepts it, you should too. Now I'll leave to your temper tantrum.

Hard to believe Sharon wouldn't know about it since she wasn't wearing panties. She crosses her legs and she is surprised it showed her beaver?

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

reply

[–] LetThemEatCake01 9 years ago

If by beaver you mean her actual vulva, of course she would be shocked.

I heard it was cut differently for Europe/US/TV(obviously)

Actresses are usually covered up with something in these scenes, but in this one, supposedly taken without permission, you could see it all.

No need for that, her vulva is displayed in full detail. It was a scumbag thing to do.
