50 shades of grey

Emmerdale Marelli

I forget to mention I am not tempted whatsoever by 50 Shades of Shite, a lot of really good films around at the moment worth seeing. I'm waiting for the Julianne Moore film about dementia and Big Eyes starring Amy Adams to be released want to see both of those.

Neither book nor film would float my boat, either. Is there an actual story to the book, or is it a page turner to the 'mucky bits'? Each to their own, I daresay.... If the film's bad enough to make people behave violently or actually be sick in the cinema, then I can't see any romance there at all. It came out in time for Valentine's Day and apparently there were comments on social media that there is likely to be an abundance of babies being born in 9 months time for those who saw the film.

If you just want sex, go watch a porn film. Not tempted by Shades in any way whatsoever.

Allegedly the writing in the books is really poor, and playwright Patrick Marber was brought in to try and salvage the script, but E James wasn't having any of it, so the film is stuck with the appalling dialogue. I think the whole premise of the story sounds really pernicious, but dressed up as a love story.

In my opinion you also need a good narrative to drive a book along, if you want sex and a brilliant plot I would recommend The Crimson Petal and the White

Not at all tempted - never understood the appeal of violence or pain in any situation.

Me too I'm with Iam64 - sounds horrific I think I would be amongst the vomiters.

Not tempted.

I've read that there was vomiting and violence at one cinema - it must be bad!

Hall in next town is showing it as a fundraiser with touring cinema. Tickets were £10 and sold out in a day. Not for me.. I'm with iam64 on this.

No

Not in the slightest bit tempted to either see the film or read the book. I don't understand why domestic abuse, dressed up as romance is attractive to anyone.

Sorry, 12Michael - I gave you a name-change just then!

No. Never saw Emmanuelle either, though (at first, I read this as 'Emmerdale' ) enough soft porn in that for me, Michael12!

Nope, not tempted.
