There's going to be a 50 Shades of Suck movie????? How can this be anything but straight-up porn with lots of messed-up character dynamics to pad around the edges? WHAT KIND OF RATING WILL IT GET???? I am trying to imagine what the end result is going to look like...and my imagination fails me. Thankfully.

Well, to play devil's advocate, they did manage to film American Psycho and Secretary without turning them into hardcore porn. So that much I think they'll manage. As for making it an actual good movie, though...

Yeah, but I feel like both of those had some actual substance, you know? Something to say and actual characters, etc. I feel like the entire point of 50SoG is the porn, right?

Never happen. Obviously.

Oh, absolutely. Maybe with a good scriptwriter (I haven't read 50SOG) they could invent more of a story for this one as well, but given the current fad that all movie adaptations must be 100% faithful to the book, it looks pretty trainwreckbound.

Also, I meant to use this icon.

Yeah. I don't really understand that trend. There's an art to adaptation, balancing what needs to be changed with what's essential. *sigh*

HA! re: your icon.
