50 shades of grey, thoughts?

[Dim Mak]

50 shades of who gives a ****.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[sparky32]

I laugh at all these women that get all into this movie. This
kind of stuff has been out in real porn movies for years. Ask any of
the women if they would go see those movies in theaters if there so obsessed with it
and see what there response is.

I just don't get the fascination with this movie and book
all of a sudden. It's just a fad film anyway that will disappear
in a couple months.

50 Shades of....Printcraft?????????

 

[pudly]

That's just sick...

That's just sick...

PRINTCRAFT is in 50 Shades of Grey?

 

[hoosierdoc]

my biggest fear is all of the guys who see this movie, decide "im gonna dom now" and start physically and emotionally abusing their SO - this thought terrifies me.

Oh come on, that will never happen...

The fascination is many women prefer softcore cheesy feel the moment porn. Many also enjoy being dominated. I highly doubt this will disappear in a couple months.

I read the books. Poorly-written, but I still found them kind of appealing. Not the same as porn. I think I'd feel awkward going to the theater to see it. By the way, a firearm is in at least one of the books, not sure if it is in the movie. I heard the sale of sex toys went up after the books came out. I think I prefer my imagination to the movie. The Christian Grey character looks nothing like the one I imagined. I think most men would rather watch porn, while women would rather read and fantasize about sex. We are, after all, a little different. Hmmmm...I suddenly have a desire to ask if any of you could recommend a better book!

Rarely does something make me seriously LOL this early in the AM! Well done!

Some of you guys could sure stand to learn about what women like...

This thread is funny. I haven't met a single woman, in my personal life or women I know at work, who didn't enjoy the book and isn't planning on seeing the movie.

My girlfriend specifically told me we would not be going to see "that stupid f'ing film", so don't think I have to take her to go see it. I was really relieved because my response to the movie is:

50 shades of who gives a ****.

I'll wait until it comes out in Cerakote....

The wife read the series. Says the "love making" is XXX rated. So, I'm sure an "R" rated movie isn't going to satisfy those who read the books.

Personally - not my cup of tea. Fortunately the wife is going with her friends to watch it and let me off the hook.

By the way, since when is a movie that's basically soft core porn equated with love to the extent it opens on Valentines Day?

Does she read romance novels?

I definitely wouldn't call the books xxx rated.

Also, softcore porn is on HBO late at night. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm quite sure it isn't softcore porn.

I hadn't heard of the 50 Shades series until my wife mentioned her friend telling her all about how good the books were and how her husband was taking her to see the movie.

It reminds me of a headline I read in the Onion: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show a big hit with men who weren't aware that porn exists.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I did read the books. I'm not an English Lit teacher but I am fairly well read and I thought the books were poorly written without any real twists or turns, highly repetitive and totally expectable. They give a wildly inaccurate view of the BDSM community and what that lifestyle is really about.

I also am embarressed to see the social change these junk books have brought about, a huge percentage of people love the books and for all the wrong reasons. If the character was a blue collar guy, would the story still work? Or course not, so is it really a love story about people who give themselves to each other? Or is it about the attraction to money and power? Standard romance novel junk that appealed to a lot of unsatisfiable people.

Someone sent me a letter that said that if the main man in the story was poor white trash that lived in a $600 trailer in the back woods, the community would demand he be arrested as a sick, dememted old pervert.

I didn't think they were xxx rated. Maybe a strong R-17!

Nope. I'll refrain from more details so I don't give TMI

Agreed. The actual sex was fairly tame and written like a bad romance novel. Not very creative, and many of the same words/phrases were overused.
