A question about Fifty Shades of Grey
Did not see the movie. Tried to read and only got to page seven -- it was that bad. So all my knowledge of the movie is second hand. See my actual question in my comment below.

I think I made through about 50 pages before trashing the book. I've not seen the movie nor do I plan on seeing it. If the movie is like the book, it too deserves to be trashed, but I know it won't be.
And finally (because this thing could go on FOREVER)..
It’s a book.
A crappily written one that has turned into a softcore porn movie with an exceptionally good release date and some excellently marketed but completely shoddy sex toys. This will affect people in the lifestyle, people who know this book isn’t about us, but a bastardized f**ktale about sparkly vampires. You aren’t going to convince people not to see it, but don’t keep your opinion to yourself if you feel comfortable.
And when this frenzy dies down and no one gives a flying f**k about Christian Grey and his stupid neckties, we can go back to our non-red kink rooms and do what these people on their high horse bitching about BDSM actually want to do, but don’t have the cajones.
