Has Anyone See 50 Shades Yet? Thoughts?

[wormy42]

I have not seen it, and probably will not bother. What little I read of the book sparked no fantastical interest whatsoever. From the talk I keep hearing from coworkers and friends who enjoyed the series, I'm kind of glad I didn't press on. I'm all about some kink, but ehh, not this take on it.

Dat Magic Mike 2, tho...

I saw the movie on Friday. It was better than expected...but I was a little surprised by the personal grooming decisions...

Do you think the actress was already prepared for that or do you think she had to skip a few waxes?

...? You make it sound like she was rocking a 70s bush. Not everyone goes bald.

Very True. I just found it surprising. She did also have some noticeable upper leg hair, but not everyone shaves there, so it wasn't a big deal, just something that surprised me. 

I think I just have a weird thing with body hair.

I feel like showing your bush in a movie has gotta be like before you go to the gyno - I'm always like "Do I shave? Do I not?"...

Also, they did talk about her public hair in the book and mentioned that she didn't wax like Christian laid out in the contract.

Haven't seen the movie, but this seems like an appropriate place to post this gif.

This movie will be like magic mike.....you don't see it for the story line.

mistabinx I could totally hear the Irish accent several times, too!

icaughtfire, I agree on both the tameness of the sex scenes and the fact that the body hair was not worth all the fuss it's getting! Not going completely bald between your knees and your navel is pretty common.

Honestly, one of the things I liked best about the film was the fact that Dakota Johnson offers a slightly different look than many other women in Hollywood. She's still a fairly young, thin, white girl, of course, but I liked that Christian keeps telling Ana how beautiful her body is, even though she's not a six-foot, hairless, giant-boobed fitness model. One of the things I liked least about the film was how BO-RING the "scandalous" sex was. I felt turned on... zero times while watching this movie. (Admittedly, I haven't read the books - just sections of them reprinted in reviews.)

Just saw it with H. I liked it. Can't wait for the second one!

I saw it today and was pleasantly surprised. I thought Jamie was super hot and much more appealing than the book version of Christian. And I thought Dakota was very good as Ana. The sex scenes were hot but not too over the top and I felt more emotion from these characters than I did when I read the book. I'll definitely see the second!
