50 Shades of Gray

i think ill pass on that movie....

I read the book series, but now that the movie is out, I think I'll wait until I can watch it in the privacy of my own home.  I'm curious to see how the written word will translate to the big screen!

People who have seen the movie say it is nothing like the books.  And the people that wanted a steamy hot sexy movie have been disappointed.  It doesn't show any more sex than the other movies on the big screen.  I know someone who saw it and she said it shows his play room and one time it shows him spank her with a belt.  And the rest is left to your imagination.

I had no idea there was an entire series. Not really interested in the books so probably won't watch it. I haven't managed to watch Twilight or Hunger Games either xP So my taste is definitely questionable lol

BTW countrygirl12, I was told by friends that the problem people have with it is that the BDSM is so unsafe (in the "bordering on rape" way).
I mean, not *bleep* that really turns me on, so I don't care one way or another Just saying that it's not because it's sex that people don't like it (or not all the people? it's that it's the wrong way to go about sex? I dunno xP). There's essays out there by people really in that lifestyle/community/hobby/whatever if you really want to know.
(But I've heard similar stuff about Twilight, in that it's a creepy relationship. So ya know, everyone is ready to criticize fantasy in the fear that people will think it's reality or something.)

Although totally agreed, protesting this? Seems very weird to me.

That makes sense.  We were talking about it at work and that's what they were saying.  But my point was the women who do this are not being raped.  They are not being forced into it.  They want to do it.  Not sure WHY you would want to be beat but apparently some women like it.  Apparently a lot of women are interested because the books and the movie had made the author bazillions of dollars.  lol

I probably won't see it in the theaters and will probably wait until it's on DVD.   I heard it wasn't that good. I might see another movie this weekend

Despite being occasionally entertaining as a trashy erotic thriller, Fifty Shades of Grey's thin plot, shallow characters, terrible dialogue, and mediocre acting dampen the experience. The similarities to Twilight are remarkable (except the explicit sex scenes obviously) and after reading that this was originally fan fiction of Twilight everything made complete sense. The relationship is not a healthy one at all much like Twilight and the plot is thin at best. The excessive length of the film at over 2 hours was too much for what little plot there was. Nothing substantial happens in the second hour until the end when they end it on a cliffhanger for the next film. If you are a fan of the book I'm sure you will come away satisfied, but everyone else should skip unless they want to enjoy it as a trash romance.

my friend told me the book is a lot better but then again i don't know. i want to see it though.

I think the guy they chose (can't remember his name) is too boyish looking.  Definitely too young.  I think the lead should have been a more mature, rugged looking, suave man...and I do mean MAN!

Hello. I know I'm a women and most women wants to see 50 shades of gray. But I don't really want to see it. I mean if it comes out in Netflix I mate check it out. I think sex sales and this movie is another example of it. A lot of people talk about trying some of the things they see on the tv. I don't need a movie to try kinky sex. I have my own imagination.
