I told my wife that this would happen, all the hard core kinky people would come out the first week or two and then the movie would die off because its such a crappy story about a stalker. I guess I was right and this article was from last week..

Best comment I heard was that if Grey lived in a trailer park, he'd be completely creepy. But, he's a billionaire, so that makes the whole thing a romance.
Sick.

It still could do a bigger box office than Showgirls.

Everyone (including my wife and I) saw it opening weekend and told everyone else it sucked big time (it did). Hollywood doesn't care. It is still a massive success.
I've read the lead actor has dropped out of the sequels.

Its good to see that maybe its not as mainstream as I first thought.

Remember poor people are crazy/weird, rich people are eccentric.

“Showgirls” was at least entertaining in a campy way...
To: bigtoona
My inner goddess told me not to watch this movie.

If the male lead had been a drifter in a trailer rather than a billionaire it would have been a typical CSI episode.

I was about to call you to the carpet for having seen this movie, but as I do when about to respond to someone, I read their prior posts In Forum. I am much impressed with your views, on Russia, on retail politics, enough so that I will be looking for your future posts.
And this piddling movie? Pshhhh.....

What, Unexpected... This was a disaster in the making but yes, there are those that would like this sort of porn movie, I guess. For it to be sustained, would mean a real breakdown in the Country (I guess, maybe, hopefully)...

no, many people DID NOT SEE IT OPENING WEEKEND and won't be seeing it...
personal values and morals are the foundation of any society and people wonder why we have a communist moslem at the helm....
as long as people behave like animals itching their behinds, then society continues its rapid descent to the gutter....
oh, I know, you're "conservative" and you're a "patriot" and undoubtedly a "Christian"....oh, and I should throw in that you're a "family" man...

Mercy, I hope you are right! Seems these days that the left has won over personal morality these days!
