From the article: “While women are expected to make up the vast majority of the Fifty Shades audience, it appears that many are convincing their partners to make the movie a Valentine’s Day destination.”
You’re entirely right. It is a sad commentary, because it’s so pathetic. I’m quite sure there is little in this movie that is much worse than what we’re inundated with every day anyway, even on prime time TV. Its actually kind of immature, along the same lines as third grade potty humor, and that’s where we’ve gone as a society. Our cultural depth is now measurable only with a microscope.
Regarding the comment from the article, I don’t even know what to say, and am way too tired to try to figure out what’s going on in the heads of a those I grew up believing were the more virtuous gender.
FR is my Valentine’s Day destination.
