Film School Hero: Paul Verhoeven
After the laughter dies down, they’re gutsy, outrageous, flawed movies on a singular resume. And with so many stories tagging, you can’t go wrong with a Britney Spears Basic Instinct nugget.
The scene is really based on a woman I knew at University of Leyden. She would go to parties and take her trousers off. My best friend walked up to her and said, “Do you know that everyone can see your vagina?” And she said, “Are you kidding me? Of course!” I told Sharon the story and her eyes glistened because she realized the power of that shot.
More classic, cocktail party conversation starters HERE.
Verhoeven interviewed at that most confusing of sites, suicidegirls.
Black Book opens today, in the special cities.

Glistened. Yeah, Sharon has that weird thing where when she gets aroused her eyes get moist.
wow, he worked on the script for 15 years.
carice van houten looks like anne heche from certain angles.
The suicide girls have landed some incredible interviews. This has got to piss off the burning angels to no end.
i dunnnnoo…there’s a lot of stuff that comes out of Kim’s mouth that doesn’t need to be written about.
Verhoeven deserves props, so I’m glad to see you giving them. Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers all have a place in my Top 100 Films.


I read somewhere that the new Nazi movie is just, err, loaded with graphic sex. Funny how he thinks of himself as a feminist.
