Had to laugh at Dakota Johnson trying to defend her character as being a feminist who expresses choice and free will.

In one part of one of the books, Christian Gray's helicopter crashes and his family are really worried. Two pages later, he walks through the door, completely unharmed. Which begs the question of why this idiot author even bothered to write that part. Russo really needs to write romance novels.

Two things... -One, the story in general is basically enabling of abusive relationships and is incredibly grating -Two, the movie trailers work SO much better if you imagine Frank Reynolds (Danny Devito's character in It's Always Sunny) is playing Christian Gray "So Artemis and I have drawn up a banging contract!"

They should do an opposite version with the genders switched, having a rich and successful woman in the Christian Grey role, and some young naive fellow as the sexually inexperienced underling who becomes the submissive in a kinky bdsm relationship with the woman. I'd watch the shit out of that.

The advertising is so awkward. It's not like the movie really had a chance to be good as the source material was just awful. I started to read it assuming it would be hilarious like Jacking the Beanstalk was, but instead it was a badly written book that the author failed to do even a bit of research for. However, it did prompt A Coupla Shades of Taupe which is just fantastic and should be considered for a movie. It's basically Troma in print anyway.

So apparently there is a new poster which is a parody of the 50 Shades one. Spoiler'd for size. {Spoiler}

If 50 shades is big more romance novels should get movies based on them.

In the third book, Ana Steele gets pregnant, which is unsurprising after three books of constant sex.
The heroic male lead Christian Gray blames her.

Because nothing is as romantic or sexy as domestic abuse masquerading as BDSM. on the plus side, the Midnight Screenings of this is gonna be awesome. In one part of one of the books, Christian Gray's helicopter crashes and his family are really worried. Two pages later, he walks through the door, completely unharmed. Which begs the question of why this idiot author even bothered to write that part. Because more books need random helicopter crashes. Observe: Had to laugh at Dakota Johnson trying to defend her character as being a feminist who expresses choice and free will. I think it's always hard to walk the line between feminism and a woman's choice to be spanked. Well, it's one thing to choose to let your loved one do naughty things to you because you trust them and you know they respect you and will stop if you make it clear you're no longer comfortable with what they're doing... it's another to argue that forcing yourself on a woman until she is emotionally and mentally broken to the point she tries to convince herself she loves it is feminist. The only positive to come out of 50 Shades of Gray is that the outrage from people who actually are into BDSM was so intense that it actually ended up educating many people on what BDSM really is simply due to contrast with how wrong 50 Shades got it.

I don't think I've seen such a strong and independent female character since I saw Lara Croft curl up into the foetal position and mope about how she's "not that kind of Croft" in that godawful reboot, and then moan at every following suggestion of having to do some adventuring.

In the first book, Ana is constantly stalked by Christian's ex submissive.
When she eventually confronts them, nothing happens, and she is never mentioned the books again.

But...but...her breasts aren't as big! That makes all the difference! Now she's a real woman! A real helpless, pathetic, weakling woman! Got to love ( hate) the direction feminism has gone in. Everything is apparently empowering, even when it isn't. Just like all the young girls who look up to the Total Divas divas being "empowering" even though all they do is squabble like a bunch of starving hens.

Let me be clear, I'm not condoning anything in the book. Reading Wikipedia I found the plot summary of trying to spin bdsm as feminist a little confusing, but honestly I don't know enough about feminism or BDSM to provide one way or against. The whole plot seems like middle age wife fare for those with a kinky side.
