Maybe I'm Shallow, But If I Were Married to 1990-era Sharon Stone...


...I think I might feel obliged to ask Cohaagen that I have my brain re-wiped again so that I could go back to being Quaid and continue to have regular sex with Sharon at her physical prime (although I might also ask for a better job than construction).

Sorry people of Mars...

That would get old fast. You know what they say, “Show me a incredibly hot woman and I’ll show you a guy tired of having sex with her.”

It’s like pizza after awhile. Great the first few days but then you’re tired of pizza and want burgers or steak.

reply

Maybe they could keep wiping all of his memories of having sex with Sharon Stone. 🤷‍♂️

Admittedly, this is a very unwoke/non-PC thing to say, because it wouldn't be fair on the woman having to go through the motions each time, but it's all silly hypothetical speculation about an absurd, if entertaining, sci-fi film.

Also, I believe in monogamy, so if one was going to remain married to one person for the rest of their lives, one could do a lot worse...

A wise man once said the only thing better than pussy is new pussy.

Engrave it on my tombstone.

You can only get tired if your brain lacks imagination and innovation. If I had such a hot wife, I don't think I would ever get tired of her. We'd just come up with new ways to play and try new lingerie. Once or twice a week or a couple of weeks for recharge.

reply

Agreed, and Sharon still looks great today. Not her 1990 peak (I wouldn't expect a 65-year-old to be), but still sexy. I saw a photo of her in a swimsuit from a few years back, and she still looks pretty hot.

So, no, one wouldn't ever get tired of being married to her (although, admittedly her Total Recall character's *real* personality was pretty contemptible; that type of woman would be fun for a short relationship, but you wouldn't want to be with someone that nasty for your entire life).

reply

Hahahah, one of the wisest statements I've ever heard on MC.

reply

yes i agrees this is good points harvey but remember lori did not like douglas deep down!! so she tire of him befoe he tire of her!!

stone should play malena in this film i find her more believe as douglas's "dream girl"

reply

Nah, I always enjoy Stone as the 'bad girl'. She plays that role so well.

But I agree with your first point, and, yeah, I'd hate to be with any woman who was staying with me against her will. I mean, it was consensual, since Lori was tricking Quaid/Cohaagen, and doing a good job pretending to like him (plus, what woman would honestly say 'No' to sleeping with 1990 Arnie?), but it's a shame that she wasn't *genuinely* into him.

Lori and Quaid/Sharon and Arnie made for the perfect attractive 'Aryan' couple (i.e. blond(e), blue-eyed, tanned, healthy, strong etc), and I say that as someone who's very much *not* an Aryan.

reply

yes she was good enough actress to make lori work well. lori was very good character. good characters are what make difference between film you remember and film you forget.

yes rumour has it arnie has many love childs with various woman so this may have been reality. it is confirm that arnie have on set affair in total recall but this was with actress rachel ticotin (malena) and not sharon stone who screamed at arnie a few time and scare him (according to his biographys).

the only confirm love child arnie have was boy he have with fugly hamplanet housekeeper.

if arnie actually have taste he maybe could have hump sharon stone like you say and have ultimate baby (i hear sharon is infertile anyway) but instead arnie have tastes for fat mexican housekeeper so maybe his standard not as high as we think.

reply

Tell me more about Sharon Stone screaming at Arnie/scaring him?

reply

it is in arnie's biography book which i read years ago. i highly recommence this book if you are fan of arnie, harvey

iirc. they were rehearsing fight scene from movie (scene where arnie and stone fight in apartment).

as they are filming scene arnie grabs stones neck (lightly) and she scream "dont you touch me! dont you dare touch my neck again!!". she was hysterics. melt down and verhoeven have to calm her down

arnie was scare and pleaded "why did you not tell me not to touch neck before we start if there is problem with neck?". i think he claim she is difficult. sly stallone say similar of her being baggage.

i google reason as to why she freak out and she say she was almost decapitate as kid riding horse with neck injury so must be that.

reply

🙄

reply

What do you mean by 'baggage'?

Also, she was riding horses as a kid? Horseriding is the sport of the *super-rich*, yet she is always harping on about how 'blue-collar' and 'working-class' her background is... 🙄🤦‍♂️

reply

It was a wild horse and she was trying to "break it in". Ran into a clothesline.

reply

What was she doing with a wild horse?

Funnily enough, she recently appeared in a film where she plays a wealthy woman who is trying to clamp down on the practice of 'breaking wild horses': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4435082/

I believe her character is portrayed as the *antagonist* here (presumably Sharon is *in favour* of the practice).

reply

i mean she have baggages for being difficult.

i copy and paste sly stallone talking about stones antics in great 90s action film specialist:

Sylvester Stallone had this to say on filming the shower scene with Sharon Stone: "OK. Let it be known, I didn't want to do this scene because Sharon was not cooperating. We get to the set and she decides not to take her robe off. The director asks only a few of the crew to remain, and she still won't take it off. I promised her I wouldn't take any liberties, so what's the problem? She said, 'I'm just sick of nudity.' I asked her if she could get sick of it on someone else's film. She was having none of it, so I went down to my trailer, brought back a bottle of Black Death vodka that was given to me by Michael Douglas and after half-a-dozen shots we were wet and wild."


she also tell lie about paul verhoven tricking her about underwears scene in basic instinct. she say he film without telling her.

verhoven say this is impossible as to get shot it take a lot of planning and rehearse so it is obvious verhoven is telling truth and stone is lyes.

reply

I believe Verhoeven. What you're saying makes sense with respect to the planning required for the Basic Instinct scene.

BUT, I also feel bad for Sharon on the set of The Specialist, based on *Stallone's* own account. If she didn't want to do nudity, she shouldn't have been pressured to do it. Stallone and the director were basically saying "We cast you to 'show off your assets'" [so to speak]. I can only assume she signed a contract beforehand whereby she agreed that nudity would be a part of the film and/or it was explicitly mentioned in the script.

reply

no it was wrote into stones contract that she do nuditys and she agree to disrobe before doing scene so that is why it is big deal.

basic instinct makes 100s of millions thanks to stone being humped and they were hoping to tap into this in the specialist which is why they could not do scene without stone taking off robes

and yes verhoeven is correct that scene have to be lighted properly for long time it cannot be just perved on without permissions so she may be compulsive lier. this is slander but thankfully verhoven is cool guy who dont mind

reply

Richard Chamberlain also had problems with Sharon on the sets for both King Solomon's Mines and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. Chamberlain said that she was very beautiful and smart, and she liked to remind everyone on the set (all of the time) about how beautiful and smart she was.

Elvira (who played the evil queen in The Lost City of Gold) disliked Sharon so much that she peed in the big pot that Sharon was dumped in and didn't tell Sharon about it. Elvira went on to say that while Sharon was being filmed in the pot she kept complaining about how bad the water smelt.

So, Sharon has a history of being very difficult. Women that look like her (completely flawless) usually are.

reply

hahahahhahahahah!! that is funny storys!!

i always hear similar story about sharon being diffuclt in allan quartermains, but intsead of elvira co star being angry it was the film crew! story i read say the crew go into stone's trailer and piss in her hottub! when she got back to trailer first thing she smell is fermenting piss hahahaahh

yes she is diffcult as many actress who look as good as her are. there is storys about her and william baldwin hating each other on sliver. but sliver was shit anyway. it is shit version of basic instinct

another story say she was doing wes craven film deadly blessing (1981) and she do scene with tarantula crawling on her and she demand tarantula get de-fanged (which would kill tarantula) but i dont think that is bad i would not let tarantula near me nevermind crawlings on me hahahahah

reply

I heard those stories on the documentary "Electric Boogaloo the Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films".

I never saw Sliver, but I dated some wacko chick in high school who use to rent it every week in order to masturbate to it. She was nutty...

reply

you are lucky you never see this film sliver. really shit!!

hahahhahah your girl sound like freak!! she must be fan of william baldwin. i think chicks dig this fag for some reason in 90s hahahah

reply

1 Sharon looks great in this, but technically they never fuck, it's in his head, so not really a great sex life.

2 Your request means no three tittied whore, come on that is something no man can do without for too long.

reply

You missed the movie? I highly recommend you watch it some day, it's very entertaining!

reply

It seems like you should watch it.
