I really don't believe some of you. Frothing at something you have never seen. Even if you read the book (I haven't) Hollywood has a long and "distinguished" history of "getting it wrong" when adapting a book to the screen. (I'm looking at YOU, Dune. I'm looking at YOU, Ender's Game.)

Have you seen the reviews? Drudge featured a link to "the best of the worst", and it was an insightful read into the dumbing down of a book by Hollywood to appease the Masters of the Movie Rating System. Indeed, I remember seeing a piece describing that the French are saying "ho-hum".

If y'all really need to get your exercise by jumping to conclusions, I won't stop you. I won't go see Fifty Shades of Grey because by all indications it's not a good movie. Period.

(I’m looking at YOU, Dune)

SciFi channel(not sissy syfy) did a really good job with Dune and Children of Dune. Very graphically violent though!
