Your thoughts about the movie, yadayada. Also keep it in AUP, we didnt want to go too far about this one.

For note, my place banned the film for obvious reasons. But after seeing peoples reaction about the movie, its probably for the best for people to avoid this sensationalist crap.

I think I'll go with some friends to see the movie, just because.

It is a requirement here to have an ID to prove that you're over 18 years old so you can watch the movie.

Should be interesting. :)
 
Hollywood would never make it exactly like the book anyway... they would be able to find any willing major actors! :lol:
One must question on why they MAKE THE FILM ADAPTATION OF A SEX BOOK IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Moooooney duh. Sex sells.
 
My brother and I are planning to go watch it when it comes out.
I attempted to read the book before, but I can't even.
 
It's been panned by the majority of reviews but you know it's going to be one of those huge earners anyway. Can you imagine how many people are going to be dragged to it on Valentines Day! :ouch:
 
I too use to use my tie for other things than dressing up and looking formal, I tip my hat to this movie :sly:

I got so many friends who wanna see it, i dont know whats wrong with them!!!!!!!!!!

Do they too perpetuate celebrating a day of ganja, cause if so that could save you so many troubling questions 👍
 
...is that the official poster for the movie? Good lord, it looks like someone spent five minutes in Photoshop on it.
 
Will have to endure the movie on Saturday :indiff: My Girlfriend loved the books, so she's been quite excited to see the movie as well. She'll owe me big time for dragging me along, that's for sure.

The things I do for love...
 
Original plan for valentines day was to go see this. After much huffing, puffing and general complaining I decided to give into my girlfriend's request and go see something else. :P :lol:
 
Went and saw it with my partner on Saturday. She enjoyed it far more than I did, but it was far from the worst thing that I've ever watched. After the film was better, though.
 
So, I watched the movie with my GF on Saturday.

Gotta say, it's far better than I expected! The characters are deep and the plot is quite meaningful, so I don't get all the negahahahaha, no, it was bloody awful. Hated every second of it.

The acting was mediocre at best, the dialogue was weak, the characters even more shallow than I expected, the attempts at humour predictable, the BDSM/sex scenes were rather tame (by my standards) and the obvious Audi sponsorship got annoying after a while. The only bit I was impressed by was how often the "filming one main character's face over the other's shoulder" camera angle was being used - even the cinematography was uninspired. That and how many clichés you can fit into a single film ("how can we possibly show the audience how friggin' rich Christian Grey is?" seems to be the one thing the director pondered throughout a lot of scenes, seriously). As for the plot, if someone thought The Hobbit was stretching itself thin, well, FSoG tops that with utter ease.

And while I'm at it, the plot doesn't even make sense! Careful, gonna spoiler now, in case someone still wants to "enjoy" the movie :lol:

So, you got that 25 year old virgin, who's throwing her virginity on her second date with a guy 'cause he's rich (presumably); same girl gets real interested in the whole BDSM thing and even considers signing a contract that's gonna make her his sex slave. Fast forward an hour of stupidity and she's leaving him 'cause he's twisted and sadistic. I mean, no kidding? The first half of the movie was all about that, how on earth can a broad possible be dense enough to not realize what she's getting herself into by then? Add the whole thing of "she's gonna turn him around and show him true love" for that generic bit of cheesy romance, too. Gotta wonder how the whole story ever caught on. Are people really that starved for some mild BDSM soft porn? :confused: Seriously, given the hype, I was expecting something a bit more explicit and... rough, for lack of a better word.

Only positive thing I can report is that my GF didn't like the movie that much, either. She agrees with me on most points, aside from generally liking the romantic side of things (and somewhat identifying with the female lead, for a number of reasons). Well, that, and they had a song by Sinatra... About the only thing that seemed classy about the movie.

Verdict: Make sure to at least get compensated for sitting through the flick; otherwise, avoid at all costs.
