Had no intent of seeing it anyway. Movies these days are expensive and most are not worth it.

If you want porn just watch Barry or Congress talk, they screws us every time they opens their mouths.

Having seen the trailer for it, it looks like it is the worst thing a film can be... utterly boring.

Critics have described the book as misogynistic, pornographic, exploitative, sexually violent, and anti-romance

A Christian or conservative boycott is exactly what the producers hope for. The movie won't be "outrageous". It will be boring and embarrassing. There won't be anything remotely "erotic" about it.

I hope that many theaters refuse to play it. It belongs in the “other” room at the video store.

This is censorship at its finest. What books are you looking to burn on the next day.

This is simple, if you don't like it do not pay your money to go. The one and only thing you are doing here is promoting this movie by giving the title and fact that it is coming out.

If you are so easily offended, change channel, or stay home. No religion, not yours or Islam, nor race or fem cards will tell me what to watch or read. Is that clear enough for you?

Freedom is a part of our constitution that you may want to review. You may start with the first amendment. It protects your right to post pro censorship posts here but it also insures that the makers of this film have a right to make i, promote i, and to sell their product.

I am all for your rights, theirs, and mine. That is where we do not agree. You value only your own rights. Go away.

The film was written and directed by women!

To me, the great majority of films are pornographic so I don’t patronize any of them.

Does having absolutely no interest whatsoever in “50 Shades of Gray”; not caring one whit about it - either the book or the movie or the tv show or the whatever - count as boycotting it?

Boycotts don’t work. What does send a statement is when we go out of our way to go see wholesome movies when they’re playing in theaters. Nothing grabs Hollywood’s attention more than a Christian or family film made on a relatively low budget hauling in huge receipts.

Not that they need it, but I'm sure the movie people thank the petition people for the additional publicity.

Heck, these boycotts & petitions are how I knew which heavy metal albums were the "best" ones when I was a teenager.

I am not sure why anyone would want to see it.

The internet is full of real porn, and they don't try to wedge a “Story” in there to justify the sex. From what I can tell, it IS the story.

It will not be on my list of movies, that is for sure.

Just vote with my pocketbook. It is seeming to work well with Selma.

Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith must be so proud of their daughter Dakota.

I can’t believe that I actually read this book. I only did so because a former girlfriend compared me to Christian Grey in that I was irresistible. After reading the book I felt offended.

There is no way in heck I would see this crap. I only wish I could get back the time it took to read it.

Signing a petition will be about as effective as Michelle’s bring back our girls hashtag photo.

The gay version is called “50 Shades of Brown”.
