    Based upon your use of the word "retarded" in this instance, I am sure the books are right in your wheelhouse.

    For the hundredth time....I was referencing a post someone made on Facebook -_-

    Haven't read the book(s) and probably won't see the movie. Just because something is the ZOMG YOU MUST DO THIS THING MEOW thing of the moment doesn't mean I'm going to do it or care about it.

    But then again, I didn't get on the Breaking Bad train until late in the game, so who knows.

    But how does that make it right? Surely you have a filter of your own.

    Book was very poorly written. I won't see the movie.
    I totally agree with jjblogs...and my 2 cents is...Anne Rice's Beauty books are a thousand times better written and sexier!

    Nope, no thanks. I started reading the first chapter and found it poorly written...I also don't like that it conveys the message that emotionally abusive relationships are something to pine for. Being a survivor of domestic violence, the whole series just makes me uncomfortable.

    Read all three books, they weren't all that well written, but they kept me entertained. Won't be seeing the movie, but I will say that the soundtrack is amazing.

    1. The books were written like bad fanfiction because they WERE bad fanfiction. It was a painful read.
    2. The storyline is an embarrassment on the BDSM community and it's sad that some people are going to think that's what actually happens in these type of relationships. Not the case.
    3. The actors playing Anastasia and Christian aren't nearly as attractive as they were made out to be in the book, so there's that.
    4. If that girl bit her lip or talked about her inner goddess one more time, I probably would've gouged my eyes.
    5. I disliked every single character in the book, especially Anastasia. She was just plain annoying and childish. Nothing sexy about that.
    6. I won't be spending my hard-earned cash to watch this in theaters. I may watch it for free on Netflix in a few months, but I'm not expecting much. I can get hotter erotica for free online.

    On the other hand, all of these people (especially here in the south) protesting this film because of the "sexual abuse" and "immoral content" just piss me off. Get over it, people. There are much more damaging things out there. Fifty Shades isn't going to scar anyone for life.
  • 50 shades of grey; what middle aged women do when they're not in Zumba class.

    The existence of this book and movie has sure brought out the way people stereotype middle aged women, married women, women that have children.

    Right!!


    If you're mom that means you like mommy porn and mommy sex.

    I am a mom and currently pregnant and still like being tied up and spanked, even way before these kids came along :D

    Hahahahaha I'm not a mom but I enjoy it too!

    If you had read any of NY posts you would have seen I apologized and said I should have used a different term.

    I'd rather watch porn with my husband (and have it lead somewhere) than watch soft-core drivel with a crowded theater of women.

    I didn't read the books, but I read the excerpt where he pulls the tampon out of her himself and starts going at it. That was enough to turn me off.

    Really?! I have not read any of the books, but that just turned me off too. Ugh...

    I mean, I get it. You're allowed to be offended.

    And I'm allowed not to care. <3
