Who do they think read the books and will see the movie? The Today audience and the mommie porn audience are basically the same group of sad lonely women.
All I ever needed was to read Dave Barry’s “review” of said book. Hilarious :)
There are many reasons to slam nbc and this is one of them.
There will be many sources for the traler on line.
People will either see the movie or not. That’s the way the country works. They sold a lot of books, perhaps the movie will tank.
I hate our culture. I can’t believe over 70 years we let the Progressives redefine it, destroy religion, force us to embrace sin and debauchery, and give up our own freedoms willingly. And for what? We are dumber than ever. Perhaps 5% of H.S. students in America today could pass a Middle School final exam from 1880. Our economic prospects are more fragile than ever, and will get much worse with illegal aliens and robotics. Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World now look optimistic by comparison to what I see coming.
Bill AND Hillary have already rented out an entire theater for opening night.
Here it is justifiably labeled as a masked story about pedophilia.

It’s Twilight porn. It was originally a Twilight Fanfiction. The “author” changed the characters.
Pop culture has replaced the Great Books with trash, and Reagan with 0bama.
No, no no! Do not insult trashy dime store novels that were based on original ideas by literate authors and then edited by legitimate professionals at publishing houses. Harlequin Books(which was recently purchased by Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp) produces trashy, dime store novels. I admit to enjoying those in the past and I still reread the oldies.
Fifty shades is awful, modern dreck; it's fanfiction, self-published, poorly edited and replete with ridiculous non-erotic "erotic" sex, there's no denying that! But it is MILD compared to the true "Mommy Porn" out there.
I recommend people view the site Goodreads.com to get an idea of what is popular in the romance industry and what is getting the mommy's hot. New Adult torture-porn, extreme BD/SM, menage romances, multiple partners (like 10 brothers sharing one woman, but oddly not the reverse), gay romances (oh boy, do the ladies love that!), shapeshifting bestiality and incest...and more!
Like I said, I admit I am a reader of older, trashy romances; I don't deny that. But those books written thirty to twenty years ago had plots and decent writing. When I started rereading romance a few years ago, I was horrified by how much the genre had changed.
Years ago, the television soap opera introduced issues like abortion, birth control, divorce, and homosexuality to homes and families. Daytime tv broached topics nighttime never dared and women loved them! Now that so many women work outside the home, and the soap opera is a dying medium, these books have taken up the slack in brainwashing.
Sigh. I really don't get why some women are into that. Hopefully, the series won't dwell on it over much...who am I kidding? This is the station that aired the Spartacus series!
