Fifty Shades of Grey is set to feature more sex on screen than the 100 raunchiest films released in 2014 put together, making it the most erotic mainstream movie in a decade. The film, which premieres on Valentine's Day features a dozen sex scenes, which make up 20 minutes of its total 100-minute running time. This follows an interview with actor Jamie Dornan, who plays main man Christian Grey, where he says he 'does not believe it is pornographic or even erotic.'

The Petries, the Nelsons, and the Cleavers would be mortified!
Check out the trailer for “The Boy Next Door”. This has some porn in it. Some friends of our took their 17 year old daughters to see it. Geez, people are just stupid.
probably the only way most of the dragged-there men will be able sit through it.
In nyc theaters public schools will bring sex ed classes there for a field trip.
Anybody remember “Deep Throat”? It was a $25,000 extravaganza that I call the “pet rock” of *orn. I rembember driving past the “dirty movie” theater on 1st avenue in downtown seattle and there was a long line of people waiting to get in, mostly couples and a LOT of them middle aged.
But at the end of the day it was just another por* movie.
This seems to be its reincarnation.
I wonder how many guys plan this not really knowing much other than his S.O. really liked the book. Then discovers in public what the book is about.
On the flip side, imagine the outrage if so one was promoting a movie with this level of sexual content that catered to men as something women should take them to for Valentines.
I hate to admit that I read the book. But the sex in the book isn’t just sex. It involves bondage and pain infliction.
I refuse to go see it and only wish I could get back the time wasted on reading it. I only read it because a former girlfriend suggested it as the Grey character reminded her of me. I was rather angry that she thought he did. I’m not into the crap that he is.
. . .well, if your “date” is charging by the hour, yes. . . (Evil grin)
I bet it bombs on the big screen. (DVD sales may be different)
The most useless sex-scene in film was the puppet madness in Team America.
“... a former girlfriend suggested it as the Grey character reminded her of me..”
Ok.. this thread just got way interesting. Do tell, rfreedom4u! :)
“Game of Thrones” uses the sex scenes to advance the story, not just for the sake of having a sex scene.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" on the other hand appears to be primarily about the sex which, IMHO, pushes it closer to porn.
I guess they haven't seen "Tiger's Wood - The Story of a Hole in One."
Not for Hubby and me. We're going to see American Sniper this afternoon on our date night.
A sure-fire way to get rich is to write porn. Writing a worthwhile book won’t get you there. Says a lot about the current state of depravity of the Anerican public.
I would not doubt it. I remember reading about another film that got an NC-17 rating and NYC theaters said they were going to let any kid in to see it.
I had someone send me a copy as a gift. I made it past the first chapter and then used the book for a better purpose and that was to start the woodstove in our guest house.
I tried to be a good trendy reader. I really did. I was sick of the typical spy/war novel where the hero is independently wealthy, but widowed at a young age.
So I saw this Fifty Shades thing.
I couldn’t get through it. It was the most poorly written piece of crap I’ve read since my freshman college writing class. It was unreadable. And stupid. The writer knows nothing about business, or sex.
The women I’ve talked to were not really impressed. When I asked them if they liked that stuff, generally they said the same thing: we like the fantasy of it. But if a man treated them that way, they would run screaming to the hills.
This movie will sell to the Sex in the City crowd. But, I would suggest someone do a study that correlates sexual assault with teen boys watching this thing.
It will hopefully die a quick death.

Another view of 50 Shades of Grey.
Perhaps you need a surgical procedure to install a funny bone. Clearly yours is missing. The crowd at my theater was crying tears and gasping for air - I cannot recall a more hilarious moment in a film.
