    It's bad enough someone wrote that abomination, but now they're going to violate the brains of the masses by making a movie? Entertainment has gone WAY downhill.

    THIS.

    So much this.

    Don't even have to read the thread to this.

    I'm a guy and I was Christian before she wrote the books.
    Not something to brag about.
    :drinker:
    Agreed....the 'sexiness' aside, Christian was a giant d-bag control freak, who would have been kicked to the curb by any self-respecting woman after his first childish jealous rage!

    There is nothing sexy about being abusive.
    Absolutely agreed....what I meant was the "OMG, he's so good looking" and "his pants hung LIKE THAT" references in the book...as if looks can compensate for being a total immature d-bag.
    Not just looks. He's also rich. So, you know, stalking and control issues are perfectly OK.

    And, you know, accusing your WIFE of trying to trap you when she winds up pregnant the storming off to get drunk with your ex dom who hates your wife and wants you back.

    What a hero.

    *swoon*

    Make your own movie or get online and search free amateur BDSM. Much more fun and cheaper.

    ROFL, ok. Thread winner.

    Didn't even recognize either of the names. Googled and still not impressed.

    Oh jeez! I didn't read the second or third books, but it annoyed me in the first one how she kept claiming not to care about his money. As if she would have kept going back if he was some guy who made like $50K a year?

    Wasn't very happy when the announcement was made...I'm going to do some watching of Sons of Anarchy to see what I think of him. I just don't see those two when I picture Christian and Ana in my mind when I was reading the books...but I will still go see the movie August 2014...maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

    They were just SO IN LOVE!!!! And no one understands because no one else knows what it's like to BE IN LOVE!!!!

    Money mattered not at all. Not one little bit. It's ROMANCE!!!

    Now would you quit looking at Christian. I know you want him but he's MINE. MY HUSBAND, not yours. Keep your hands to yourself.

    And just because you're a nurse taking care of my comatose stepfather doesn't mean I can't tell you want him, too. *glare, glare, glare*

    I hope these actors are practicing up on their 'blushing, flushing and gasping", because that's pretty much half the text of the book :laugh:

    Not to mention murmuring. Seriously that's about the way they said everything in the book.

    I liked the general story but the book was very poorly written.

    I think the trouble with making any book to film adaptation is that all of the fans have very specific images in their heads. Everyone will have their own picture of the "perfect" [insert character name]. Sometimes Hollywood hits the mark well and it's generally close enough to please the masses most times they don't. On the other hand if an actor is skilled they can surprise you, maybe these choices will surprise fans by being able to carry the roles despite not meeting visual expectations.

    I've tried to read the books and failed, much like I did with the twilight series they are poorly written in my opinion though I know women who rave about them and in fact recommended them to me energetically, both series now I come to think of it... hmm. It will be interesting however to see how they make a movie out of this because as others have stated it's essentially an x rated bdsm novel.

    I will admit Charlie is smoking. But I cannot bring myself to read the damn books since all my vanilla friends have and now think they kinksters. :noway:

    OMG..yes, how could I forget all the murmurring? She did a lot of biting her lip and blinking up at him too....I'm sure that will take some serious acting chops :huh:

    Ugh more cliche` of course he had to be rich and of course she doesnt care. Just like the damn Twilight series Belle claimed to not love money, but she didnt end up with the poor Indian wolf boy living on the reservation.

    I glad that they didn't choose any big name actors. Good choice that they chose newbies.

    LMAO

    They didn't choose them. Those were the only actors willing to tie their names to this junk. No one established would touch it.
