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.

What was Secretary released as? R, right?

Though, from what I understand, 50 Shades of Grey is way more ridiculous than Secretary.

I believe it was R, yes. NC-17 is the kiss of death.

Way, way, way more ridiculous. From the quotes that keep popping up on my tumblr dash. Way.

I have only seen one NC-17 movie in theaters. It was a foreign film, clearly, because U.S. studios would rather release as R and put out the unrated version on DVD. :)

I just meant that, clearly, you can have BDSM sexytimes scenes and have it rated R. But I don't think James Spader ever pulls out Maggie Gyllenhaal's tampon, either. I am not sure the American mainstream viewing audience is ready for explicit period sex on the big screen. I mean, according to This Film Is Not Yet Rated, you can't even have a woman mime masturbating while completely clothed and still get an R rating.

OTOH, with a good screenwriter, the characters could be more fleshed out and the ridiculousness could be reduced? Maaaaybe?
