I know all you rocket scientists said that the book sucks, and since I can't read, I'll have to go see the movie to see what all the hubbub is about. Great Valentines Day date. Let's go home so you can beat me. Everyone's dream.
 
Need a chaperone? Or just want permission? Are you asking me for ticket money? Listen, if I don't have the money to go, then you certainly can't.
 
I can see it now, 17 middle aged men sitting in the dark with their hands down their pants.
 
The movie advertisement actually looks good. They picked actors that kind of looked how I imagined.
 
Jesus fuck it seems like there've been a lot of media glorifying abusive relationships lately.
 
All the FB soccer moms will be all a twitter how great it was...just like the book! :rolleyes:

...and I bite my tongue.

Tell us how it is, Ann.
 
The writing in the book was horrible. - and as far as relationships go, it didn't depict a very realistic one - for soccer mommies anyway.

A lot of the women I work with were reading it and really seemed to love it so I gave it a go. I got maybe halfway through it bit couldn't finish it. It was not my cup of tea. Not because of the subject matter but because the writing was just awful.

i know several women whom are going as a group. they got all giggly and antsy, so i suggested to them the sleeping beauty series by anne rice, written under a. n. roquelaure. not one has reported back.

you need to be castrated.
 
No, you cannot.

It is being withdrawn for offending Mormons who then threatened to bring all of their wives and occupy all of the seats. They will instead run the great speeches of Mitt Romney...

Ain't the free market grand?
 
I didn't hate the books, they were, I believe, what they were intended to be...a trashy read. I read them because someone from Lit days of old suggested it to me and they are a part of pop culture.

I passed them on to a girlfriend who is faaaar from 'nilla, and she felt the same - not really an accurate picture of any bdsm relationship she'd want, but for a bathtub read, it did what was expected.

I don't see myself wasting the money to see it in the theater.
 
I'm with Riles. The book was trashy fiction, Harlequin novel-esque with flawed writing. It does not depict reality. An interesting blip on the pop culture sphere, though.

Still, I thought it was a fun summer read. I am going to see it because a friend who wants to asked me; she didn't feel comfortable asking anyone else. Maybe after we'll talk and I can shed some light on BDSM. Maybe.

I kinda like you, ginger girl.

:heart:
