‘50 Shades of Grey:’ As Terrible As You Expected

Didn't Hollyweird already do this film, albeit with better dialogue, with Secretary?

I figuratively puke on our culture. It is utterly false, depraved, and grotesque. Nothing but some form of sodomy, 24/7.

[GreyFriar]

this movie is probably just a set up to verify that Feminist’s view of men is true so that their emasculation campaign toward men can continue:

“It is utterly false, depraved, and grotesque.”

Actually, it’s shallow, mundane, and pathetic. Our culture is kind of a joke at this point, kind of the national equivalent of the movie Spinal Tap. If it weren’t for the fact that many died to preserve America, and that we have innocent children who are being affected by what we’re becoming, I would have a hard time not just laughing at us.

American culture has devolved down into nothing short of sheer poison. Degenerate swill for a degenerate people.

Saw the same fad in Brasil some 20 years ago. The prominent cultural icon was Tianzinha who dressed as dominatrix. I won't go into how it permanently manifested itself in Brasilian culture but I'm sure a couple of Freepers would nod their heads while reading this.

It's about as new as a pet rock.

Tiazinha: (I found a "safe" image...)

Nobody said it was new. It is degenerative to society

This should put everything in perspective:

“Housewife” porn.

[Rodamala]

I recommend 2 coats.

Did the heartless brute abuse her by forcing her to trim her hair blindfolded?

When will I be able to read the article "Fathers Defend Their Sons Against the Feminists and the Biased School System That Allows Girls to Kick Them in the Nuts for no Reason"?

I hope she didn’t buy her dominatrix outfits off the same rack at Goodwill as that blouse.

[ZOOKER]

I'm thoroughly confused here.

If Grey is portrayed as some kind of ideal romantic partner to women, even when he tortures and humiliates women, then why are they so upset about Epstein and Cosby?

What a massive disconnect between reality and Hollywood fantasy...

[twister881]

Female LIVs have snapped up the book, and now they will flock to the movie. After, they will continue to complain about sexism in society, Bill Cosby, and the culture of rape on college campuses.

Thanks to the new morality and alternative lifestyles of the secular humanism worldview of pluralism, subjectivism, and relativism.

[DonaldC]

Given the book sales figures, there must be some appeal if even on a fantasy level for a lot of women. Not sure that will translate into movie dollars though.

It is because we have a 1st Amendment that champions personal rights without restrictions, obligations nor responsibilities. It was written by righteous men for righteous men.

It is a blank check in terms of moral values.

Who am I judge? I am not judging anything — I am just observing.

[ThunderSleeps]

IMHO it isn’t even that good of a book. Maybe there is something there to the story, I don’t know. After literally falling asleep for the third time while trying to read it, I gave up. Wife said “oh, but you didn’t get to the good parts yet.” Sorry, but wading through poorly written blather isn’t my idea of engaging entertainment, good parts or no. I have zero interest in trying to get through the book, and less than zero in seeing the movie.
