Fifty Shades of Grey is set to feature more sex on screen than the 100 raunchiest films released in 2014 put together, making it the most erotic mainstream movie in a decade.
The film, which premieres on Valentine's Day features a dozen sex scenes, which make up 20 minutes of its total 100-minute running time.

Somehow I just can't see large numbers turning up with their friends to see a softcore.
Anyone planning on seeing this? I might watch if it comes on Netflix, just to see what the fuss is about.

(861 posts)If this isn't an uber "chick flick", I don't know what is.
It should be in a double bill with the movie, "Sex and the city".

Can't be bothered with either.
That term "chick flick" is silly. Lot's of women don't like those types of movies (or the color pink).

(10,362 posts)Of course, if the woman wasn't a doe-eyed, overlooked, sexually naive everygirl, it might not sell either. Imagine if she were a 5'10" Swedish model.
The author knew what she was doing.

(20,277 posts)Why bother writing that kind of thing (or any book) if you know it won't sell.
They could make the model just as naive.

(20,277 posts)Why not?

We saw The Judge the other day. I thought it was very good.

(52,718 posts)It's stephenie meyers' fault for not writing the sex scenes in Twilight, instead of jumping over them.
And, yes, it will find an audience. But I'll wait until it gets to cable.

(20,277 posts)I sure as hell wasn't going to read the books.
I just want to see what the fuss is about.

(23,340 posts)not that I am ever right about social trends.
Maybe it will be like "Sex in the City" as a phenomenon. I couldn't imagine an audience for that one, either, in it's wild unreality.
This is basically a classic romance novel with a mild bondage theme, as I understand from what I have read about it. Is this a selling point?
