Michael Douglas on why he agreed to star in 'Basic Instinct' (1992) & the strong response by the gay community against the movie: "I took the movie because I felt that we were getting so conservative. It was becoming the No Generation. It was the height of the AIDS movement, and it was very repressive. I didn’t foresee the strong gay response against the picture. I didn’t see that coming at all. I just wanted to make a hot picture." "I can't be politically correct. I got in shape and I just wanted to do a sexy, cop psychothriller. The gay issue really took me by surprise. I don't see anybody in the movie being upset because anybody's bisexual or gay or anything else. Catherine's bisexuality was just an interesting twist. If you're going to deal in this detective genre, which has been done to death, you have to look for different twists. This is a difficult time right now—a time to get closer, Rather than trying to point out our differences, we should be trying to find out what our similarities are. Be kind to each other… This is what's depressing to me, This is a detective smut novel, this thing is. That's all it is. Listen to this bulls —. Jesus, give me a break." ("Michael Douglas Keeps Conroversy (and Passion) Sizzling in ‘Disclosure’", The Morning Call, 1994 "The Michael Douglas scandal", Trish Dietch Rohrer, Entertainment Weekly, 1992) P.S: On this day, 34 years ago, Paul Verhoeven's "Basic Instinct" (1992) premiered in Culver City, California, USA.
