Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

IMDB rating: 3.70

Plot: The decadent life of novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) continues int his sequel that finds her in the opening sequence speeding through the streets of London using the hand of her obviously under-the-influence soccer star boy friend to masturbate herself. After the car goes out of control, she manages to escape but he drowns leading to an investigation of whether she had in fact murdered him with an implication that he was already dead before the car even entered the water. Officials bring in a police psychologist (David Morrissey) to determine her mental state. Obsession sets in and the psychiatrist is drawn into her manipulations and dangerous world. As deaths occur around the pair involving acquaintances of both parties, including the psychiatrist’s ex-wife, the story twists (and doesn’t answer) to make you wonder who is committing the crimes. David Thewlis also co-stars as a perhaps corrupt police inspector and Charlotte Rampling appears as a colleague of the psychiatrist. Contains frequent nudity, depiction of orgies and graphic sexual encounters, constant profanity and violence that is mostly committed off-camera.

If you could time travel just once, when and where would you go?
Here are the rules:
1. You will spend one year wherever and whenever you choose
2. You can interact with people, animals and the environment without affecting anything in the future, so you don’t need to worry about disrupting space-time
3. You are guaranteed safety and good health, and all your basic needs will be taken care of
4. If you choose to be around humans, you will automatically know their language and will be provided with appropriate clothing and cultural knowledge so that you can blend in.
5. You are guaranteed a safe return to the same time and location as when you left, so you won’t miss anything in your present life. However, you get to keep everything you learned from your journey and will retain your memories of the year you spent long ago and far away.

Basically, you get to play or do whatever you want for a year without being responsible for any of it, and there will be no consequences to you or anything else. But once you are there, you will be stuck there for a full year and will witness everything that happens. Have fun!

My personal answer: It’s almost impossible to choose because ANYTHING would be so interesting and potentially a lot of fun. My first instinct is to want to see dinosaurs, but I fear that I’d get terribly lonely without people to talk to. So, my top choice would be a year with a peaceful Native American tribe, during pre-Colombian times. A close second would be to spend a year Christ, The Buddha, MLK, Gandhi, Darwin, Da Vinci, or any other profoundly influential person, during the year when they had their greatest impact on the world. (I’m leaving out my naughty time-travel fantasies…)
Many of your answers violate the rule that YOU CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING! So you can’t save someone’s life, you can only witness their death. And why would someone want to save Jesus from crucifixion? The mythology about Christ is that his death was our redemption.

Then, as i was typing this, i was thinking, since i am going through a situation right now where i will be getting divorced, I WISH i could go forward in time about 6 years, and see if i am happy and even though staying with him i wouldn’t be extremely be happy, would i be happier staying with him, then not being with him at all and taking on this other life i plan on experiencing and is he going to be ok?
