Besides, even if you do manage to freeze frame Basic Instinct at just the right moment, it's not as if it is an HD image anyway.

One is about a serial killer who manipulates people with sex and other ... whatever it is, I guess about sex, a young innocent woman discovering sex with a worldly rich man (quite conventional). "Nine 1/2 Weeks" is about that psychological/sexual dominance/submissive stuff.
