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 bet it bombs on the big screen. (DVD sales may be different)
I guess they haven't seen "Tiger's Wood - The Story of a Hole in One."
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 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.
Forgetting about the porn aspect for a second, the book is badly written technically, the characters are one-dimensional, and the books about sparkly vampires are more believable.
This was a book I couldn’t finish 50 pages. It doesn’t even qualify as good porn.
That movie should be rated “NA” (Not for Anyone).
I pray that this disgusting piece of garbage fails miserably in terms of earnings.
Sex scenes of less than two minutes each?
Aren’t there clinics to help men with problems like that?
If someone thinks sex is about being tied up, beaten and abused.. they have some serious problems and should seek help.
I glanced through the book briefly. Not interesting at all.
As far as the film, what comes to mind is LAST TANGO IN PARIS, which was very 70s sensual but kinda corny.
