Whatever happened to the erotic thriller?

A CNN articles asks the question after the abysmal B.O. showing of Basic Instinct 2 (but really was anyone surprised about that?). Some blame a new pseudo-McCarthy era, where there isn't a red scare per se, but a sex scare of sorts. Others blame the lack of any good material--which lots of people will most likely agree with. Still more people will point their fingers at the foreign market and lack of interest in movies of the genre--it was interesting to note that Zalman King is writing (has written) something called Nasty Girls Save the World...I'd link it, but can't seem to find anything on it. Oh well.

So...
