    Ah- I love it. so amusing. What I find REALLY amusing is how incredibly unaware so many people are- thinking that blind folds- ties and a little restraint is hard core. And I'm no expert- because I'm definitely in the "BDSM lite fat free" category... but I know it runs deep- (joke intended) MUCH MUCH deeper than people are willing to admit... so they just accept that a blind and a tie and some basic restraints is sexy bondage time. LOL I wouldn't call it irony- but it does make me chuckle.

    I might have to pull out the 'red' card on this. :tongue:

    Let me know when they make the Sleeping Beauty series from Anne Rice into a movie. :wink:

    I thought i was the only one in the world that had read those!!! THat would be one kinky movie

    I have those sitting on my shelf right now. It would literally be impossible to make those into a movie that wasn't rated X without severely cutting and rewriting them. *sigh*

    I read the first two but not the third. I personally felt the second one was a rehash of the first except it took place in the village.

    The book was written at an 8th grade reading level, but the plot was fun and hopefully the movie will be too.

    Date night, anyone?

    I watched the trailer and I think the guy they chose for Christian is awful. He does not come off as controlling and domineering. He just felt kind of pathetic. Not how I pictured Christian at all. I'm okay with Ana. She at least seems to be in tune with her character.

    I agree about Christian but I'm not a fan of Ana either

    Truth is I don't think we'd be satisfied with any actors they chose because we all had our ideas of what these characters looked like and how they carried themselves.

    I SAW THEM FOR SALE AT WALMART LAST SUMMER. :noway: They were in with all the rest of the novels, like 6' from the children's book section. Unwrapped and all that. There was a sticker on the covers that said, "If you liked 50 Shades..."

    I wanted to end that sentence with, "...you'll crap your pants when you read these."

    the books are twilight for middle age house wives. They did the job. Got all of the wifeys hot and bothered.

    I read them all. they weren't great, but just consider the source, it's not like it was meant to be these amazing works of art. Didn't hate them, didn't love them.

    I think they did a decent job of casting Ana, but I wish they kept Charlie Hunnam as Christian....oh my word. That would have made a good movie despite the poor books.

    I know nothing about BDSM so I didn't see anything wrong about it, sucks to hear it was poorly represented.

    Funny story, I believe that the book actually originated as an online blog that was a spin off of Twilight. No joke.

    Oh yeah, I have a better movie for you if you like the premise but hate the books. The Secretary. Way before these books ever came out there was a crazy sub/dom movie featuring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. You are welcome.

    This a thousand times. The Secretary was great. It belongs in your DVD collection.

    <writes this down>

    you know what semi scandalous movie I kind of enjoyed?
    Dangerous Beauty- not really BDSM- but it was certainly an interesting slightly "racey" if I watched this with my mom I'd be uncomfortable movie for it's time. Inspired by a true story I believed.

    Have you seen Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac? Or Antichrist for that matter...

    This made me laugh!

    I spent many nights with those books, a bottle of wine, and some Chinese take out.

    Interesting observation from when I worked at a bookstore and these books came out. The majority of purchases of these books were accompanied with Christian Inspiration books. I just thought that was interesting...

    :noway:

    I admit I watched that and it's a good movie. Not sure about this 50 shades &@%^#
    I'll go if someone wants to crack jokes throughout the movie.

    Yeah I heard it started out as a "fanfiction" making fun of Twilight then it 'evolved' into this poorly written -yet strangely arousing- "fanfiction"

    I hope it's kinkier than the book. Quite the disappointment.

    their implication of kink was pulling out a blind fold.

    That isn't leaving me hopeful.

    And a tie. :sick:

    Ah- I love it. so amusing. What I find REALLY amusing is how incredibly unaware so many people are- thinking that blind folds- ties and a little restraint is hard core. And I'm no expert- because I'm definitely in the "BDSM lite fat free" category... but I know it runs deep- (joke intended) MUCH MUCH deeper than people are willing to admit... so they just accept that a blind and a tie and some basic restraints is sexy bondage time. LOL I wouldn't call it irony- but it does make me chuckle.

    I have those sitting on my shelf right now. It would literally be impossible to make those into a movie that wasn't rated X without severely cutting and rewriting them. *sigh*

    why can't we just go full blown with it? why do we have to make it R- can't we make it an X movie?

    hell they made a Pirates/Pirates II- so they have some money to make some movies- go for it. Can't be worse than that drivel (although those are great drinking movies)

    Create a movie with fire play, blood play, needles, device bondage....then we'll talk.

    Until then, i just view the movie the same way i did the book: a story about an abusive a**hole taking advantage of a woman, under the guise of 'BDSM'.....just to get some old housewives hot and steamy.

    This is true! One of my most fave movies ever. You will never beat Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger!

    They already did this. It was called "9 1/2 Weeks".

    I just hope who they picked lives up to the role and does justice. He does not look like a dominating man to me.

    my thoughts exactly!

    Are you talking about Antichrist staring Willam Defoe? Because my boyfriend and I watched that on Netflix last year and whenever I think about the part where she takes the wood and smashes his...ahem...no no special place...it hurts me and I don't even have those bits.

    I won't be seeing 50 Shades of Grey because I read books 1 and 2, and half of 3 and my IQ dropped because the writing sucked. My dog could crap a better book series than that.
