This book needs its own thread.

And I need to read it.
Amazing. Someone actually got this published, sold 10 million copies, and has multiple big name studios fighting for the movie rights.
That just makes it funnier.

Okay, the Brits have a lot of stuff that Americans can look down upon. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgwKU54rO0U)
He tongued at my chocolate starfish before thrusting three fingers between my quivering butt cheeks and wiggling his fingers around like he was searching for something he dropped inside of my ass.
WHAT.
CHOCOLATE STARFISH WHAT.

Wow, I haven't heard that expression since the last time I played Conker's Bad Fur Day.
Truly, this is AAA literature.

One of my friends posted a pic of herself reading this the other day on Facebook.
My friends have no taste.

I know I shouldn't be laughing, but damn. This became a success. This. THIS. :wth:
I can just imagine that.
"Huh, you ass looks like a starfi... oh no, my contact! I can barely see without that. Ugh, I'm digging in, but I still can't find it. Wait, why are you moaning?"

Another day, another passage/
Boy oh boy.
Here's my quote from the other thread:
Quote from: Spark Of Spirit on June 30, 2012, 05:55:13 PM
So I went to see Brave and stopped by the book shop in the mall since they had a giant rack of 50 Shade Of Grey out front. I picked three random passages to read and was stunned each time.
The first involved cleaning vomit out of pants, the second involved a hipster getting deep listening to Snow Patrol and really thinking man, and the third involved a breakfast scene that climaxed with one character wanted to have sex with the others mouth.
At the front of the store so anyone could walk up and grab it.
Wow.
I think if you want to get a book published nowadays, you shouldn't have much of an issue with this as your argument.

Yay, That was entertaining. Now he must read this in the voice of Admiral Kunkka.
Aww man, I was hoping that was John Wayne reading it.
Now wouldn't that be something?

I was thinking more along the lines of reading it in the voice of Big the Cat.
I want to hear Joanna Lumley read it in her Patsy voice.
Well... since we're talking about other people reading it aloud, I figured this was appropriate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K1RcKJVbHA&feature=share).

The author of this book is writing a How-To guide for writing.
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.
... 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. ???

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

Is it too late?
Too late for what?
Remember when everyone shat on this book series? Now nobody even cares.
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.
i can't believe this crap actually has a movie.
Seems like it'd be easier to just watch a porno or something. You want BDSM? The internet's full of those videos.
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.
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!"
i love conan.
also, 50 shades seems to be very popular among women and while most men could care less.
I'm sad to say my best friend's wife is forcing him to see it with her this week.
i've been wanting to say that if anyone here has a S.O. that wants to see this, dump 'em lol

Same for a friend of mine at work. I had a good-natured laugh at his expense. Poor guy never had a chance. :P
(in deep movie preview narrator voice): friday the 13th comes late for some men this year...one day late.
50 Shades just makes me want to think it's a reboot of Nine 1/2 Weeks. O_o

^Hopefully they didn't just walk out the door without first asking for their money back or credit their tickets for another flick instead.
I'm somewhat surprised that it did as well as it did over the weekend. But for many it was probably a 'curiousity that killed the cat' type of situation.
Oh God, the first of many. (http://foxct.com/2015/02/24/student-charged-with-sexual-assault-tells-police-he-was-re-enacting-fifty-shades-of-grey/)
