Fifty Shades of Grey and Fantastic Four triumphed at the awards ceremony where no one wants to win, claiming the joint prize of Worst Picture at the Razzies on Saturday night.
The adaptation of EL James' erotic novel hit the spot in several categories, also being awarded worst actor and actress for Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson's performances.

Dakota certainly has great genes from her parents.
Next time, Hollywood will forego makding a soft core porn film (which Fifty Shades was) and just go comepletely XXX hardcore.
Homely as a mud fence, bless her heart.
With black lives matter terrifying hollyweird, expect more black jedis, black Johnny Storms, black presidents/gods, black scientists, love interests, wizards, black action heroes, black bonds etc. Oh, and expect lower box offices because if I want to watch Straight Outta Compton I will. ( I don’t).

Hollywood is figuring out who their audience is at least on the TV side I heard people saying good things about “Supergirl” I’ve never known who the Supergirl character is or where she came from and I was curious as to what angle they were working from that impressed so many people and critics, so I took a look at the show. A half hour in I had the sense that the show is a soap opera like the ones that I saw back in 1967 while waiting for Dark Shadows to come on. My second impression was that it was aimed specifically at women and minorities. I considered how small the TV audience is these days and who is watching. Movies may be headed down the same road. Supergirl wasn’t bad per se but the people who create it don’t weren’t thinking of me.
I read the first five chapters of the book. I was too bored to read any more of it. That's why I forced myself to watch the entire movie.
So who is the audience for DeadPool? Spent about $20 for ticket and popcorn...what a waste of money. There was a pub next door, good beer and FREE peanuts. From now on I’ll make better choices. Hollywood obviously doesn’t know much about me.
I think the Fifty Shades came out a year ago. I was traveling at the time. I remember going to a bookstore at an airport and I think that book was prominently placed. So a week later I was coming back home and I saw that there was already a sequel to that book, prominently placed in the news stands. I thought, really, a sequel already? I figured the first book would get some attention but quickly be forgotten so they tried to cash in on it by releasing a sequel right away.

"DeadPool" was a very heavy handed effort at pushing homosexual normalization. I think they knew the character, script and special effects would likely make it a financial winner, so they put as much homo dialogue into it as they thought they could safely get away with before it hurt the bottom line.
In the 1950s they would have been arrested for making it.
I didn’t get Fifty Shades of Grey. I understand that the guy was some kind of sex obsessed guy, separating sex from emotion and all that. I was completely misunderstanding the business of the guy having the girl sign a contract that they were to be sexually involved together. Does this sort of thing really happen with real people? Somebody told me that there really are such people who do this.
I found it a bit charming that the girl was utterly dazzled by the man's accoutrements (the cars, the building, the staff, the status, the wealth, the aura, etc.) and couldn't imagine that he could be interested in her.
From a man's point of view (and having had such accoutrements myself) I could well understand why he would be interested in her and in many women, whose accessories or lack of accessories are incidental to what's fascinating.
But my wife, who reads all the time, told me that this is a standard formula for popular chick novels, and the girl was not interesting enough to keep me reading after the first few chapters. I thought the man was one screwed up dude. I got bored, put it down, and never picked it up again.
