... I... what...

I don't even know what to say to that.

I saw a CD that was about songs the author apparently listened to while writing it.

It was all classical music.  ???

Ditto.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Hey, if it leads to glorious snippets like "full HD IMAX," I'd say this will be the greatest how-to guide in history.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go buy the Song of Ice and Fire box set, and a couple of Barnes & Noble collectors editions. I think I need to support good literature before shit takes over everything.

Too late for what?

Remember when everyone shat on this book series? Now nobody even cares.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

This series is proof positive that no matter what you write, at least you can say it will never be the worst thing ever published.

Seems like it'd be easier to just watch a porno or something.  You want BDSM?  The internet's full of those videos.
It doesn't matter what you say, soon you'll be dead anyway.

real adults and/or fans of the book watch this in normal theaters. that is seriously probably the best guess i have for why this garbage is so highly anticipated.

The trailers are incredibly creepy. I'm hoping that once the audience is actually watching it and not just fantasizing what's going on, some of them will realize how messed up the whole thing is.

gunswordfist

the commercials are actually bearable but of course they don't show shit. i have never seen a trailer.

hopefully the movie retains the book's worst parts like the vomiting and then america has a big WHAT THE HELL WERE WE THINKING moment and the film gets forced into obscurity.

A funny joke on Conan's episode on 2/10:

Conan:  Hardware stores are actually stocking up in rope and duct tape in anticipation of "50 Shades of Grey". Apparently tying your boyfriend up is the only way you'll get him to see "50 Shades of Grey." These guys over here are like, "That's right, yeah". And their girlfriend's are like, (shaking finger) "You're going to go!"
Andy:  "I'm not seeing that sex movie! No way Jose."
Conan:  "We're going to that environmental documentary!"
