Sounds to me Rob is jealous none of his p0rn flicks have hit the theaters. Hey! Don't make fun of my retarded brother Rob when it comes to his p0rn flicks. He tries his best (as do the sheep).

I'm not paying any attention to it nor am I going to see it. And I know nothing about it but the name. If all you know is the name, what makes you so determined to not pay any attention to it??

A staunchly religious friend of mine keeps posting things against this movie on FaceBook. Ordinarily she and I are poles apart- I'm pretty laissez-faire about what goes on between consenting adults- but I really wonder what it says about women that so many find a movie in which a woman is dominated and controlled by someone who imposes pain and violence in her sexually stimulating. I knew one guy who was on the masochistic side and frankly, I couldn't get into it and thought he might have had some problems with his self-image.
This certainly isn't new- The Story of O was written (by a woman) in 1954.

OH DEAR LORD PLEASE JUST SAY NO. On a legit level, let me explain for those of you who don't know. Fanfic, short for fan fiction, is when a person takes a fictional universe or set of characters and writes their own story in that universe or involving those characters. Additionally, the "Mary-Sue" fanfic is when the author creates a main character who is a thinly veiled version of themselves, in order to put to paper some fantasy or adventure they would like to be a part of with these fictional characters. 50 Shades was written originally as a Twilight fanfiction, with the main character being stupid vampire Edward Cullen and the main female character clearly being a Mary-Sue of the author. The author is a middle-aged British TV executive and mother, if I remember correctly. So this middle aged woman had this fantasy about Edward Cullen and wrote this story. Kinda gross, just saying. So to be able to market this and make money, she changed names and some details to make it an original story instead of FF. She's made millions of dollars on this. It is TERRIBLY written and the author's only experience with "BDSM" is what she found on google. I did read the book because a friend was like "you have to check out how awful this shit is!!! ....it's the worst. If this doesn't make you not want to live on this planet anymore, I don't know what else would. I suppose poorly written erotica aimed at the bored housewife has been around for years, however the Twilight angle and just how popular it got just makes this the worst. Ok I"m done, back to your regularly scheduled programming. (For full disclosure I used to write X-Files fic back in the day... and I was damn good! )

I kind of wanted to read the book when I first heard about it but I am over it. Didn't Judy Blume kind of a tame version of this for bored housewives called Wifey back in the day?

I read the book when a friend of mine asked me what I thought of it not long after I had my first surgery. So I downloaded it and read it on my iPad while on a massive dose of narcotics. I didn't think it was horrible at the time.
Not that long ago, I went back to reread it, not understanding why some thought it was so bad. I gave up after the first couple chapters, they were right. Amazing how massive amounts of narcotics can change one's perception of something!

50 Shades was written originally as a Twilight fanfiction
Just wait until the fanfiction created based on 50 Shades becomes a movie!
::head explodes::
When I found out it was twilight fanfic some of my hatred towards this book made so much more sense.
I'll be honest I kept asking if the author had even had sex period. Her understanding of how even a basic sexual relationship is supposed to work is faulty, let alone a BDSM one. I don't think she did any research at all, this is how SHE thinks a BDSM relationship works.
Even a simple Google search would show Mr Grey isn't a misunderstood man into kink. He's the most f*cked up man on the planet that all women should run far far away from.

::head explodes:: I'm not even going to google 50 Shades fanfic, because I'm 100% certain it exists and I'm ashamed of humanity enough for one day. OTOH, I would read the hell out of this, just read the description! Fifty Shames of Earl Grey

That was kinda my original point. There's crap, there's money-making crap, and then there's The Whale Of All Crap That Makes You Question Existence And Realize That A Benevolent God Cannot Possibly Exist, and that last one is exactly what this is. It's a sad indicator of the state of society that the most monumental of the monumental turds has reached such popularity. And what's worse, in a few years something else will probably come along that tops even this. People should not be rewarded for creating sh*t like this and releasing it upon society. Instead, they should be run out of town, to live in a cave and scrawl their "writings" on the wall in their own feces, so aliens can find it eons after the human race has gone extinct, and come to the conclusion that that was why. Still, I don't know what's worse. The author or the millions of brain-dead simians who bought into this. Right now, I'm thinking the latter, because without them, this never would've made it past fanfic. And yes I do blame women, because the vast majority of men aren't into this sh*t. I mean, if you really secretly yearn to be choke-raped and donkey punched, I'm sure you can find men who are willing to do that to you. Just start hanging out outside of prisons.

Oh wow. So people are gonna try and emulate this sh*t? They call it "auto-erotic asphyxiation". I call it "Darwinism". Sadly, a fair number of adolescent boys have accidentally killed themselves trying this particular move out using the rod in their closet (pun not intended in this sad case).

Judging by your absolute love and support of all things 50 Shades, it sounds like you might be the one with the interest in "borrowing" the sheep. He'll rent them out to you for some saltines and a sippy cup full of warm apple juice. APPA JOOZ!!! *claps like a seal*

I did watch the trailer, and saw no chemistry between the two lead actors. I don't think either of them was suited to the roles (and as I recall, Jamie Dornan was not the first choice for Christian Grey. Charlie Hunnan, from Sons of Anarchy was the original pick for the role. Now that could have been quite the movie. )

I did not read the book. I didn't even follow the media blitz about it all that closely. I honestly thought it was the other way around -- she dominates him. Cuz, that, that, that I would go see.

Probably the best move of his career for Charlie Hunnam to pull out of that movie.

Right now, I'm thinking the latter, because without them, this never would've made it past fanfic. Remember when someone decided to try and get a P*rn novel published and invited a group of writer friends to write a chapter and make it the worst writing they could? It was accepted for publication and, of course, after the story of how it was written came out, it was a best-seller. It was called "Naked Came the Stranger".

Wasn't this whole S&M thing also the premise of the movie 9 ½ Weeks?
(Although, IIRC, 9 ½ Weeks was on the tame side…)

I'm pretty sure the ship has sailed on crap entertainment earning boatloads of money. True, but there's crap entertainment and there's crap entertainment. Crap entertainment needs to be more like "Road House" and "Sharknado 2", and less like Bieber choke-raping sparkle-vampires. Because I say so. I liked Roadhouse :-(
