50 Shades film's dozen sex scenes last 20 minutes

Fifty Shades Of Grey will be raunchiest film in more than a DECADE with 20 minutes of sex in its 100-minute running time

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.

This follows an interview with actor Jamie Dornan, who plays main man Christian Grey, where he says he 'does not believe it is pornographic or even erotic.'...

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.

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".

or the film.

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).

I'll pass. I think Bill Mayer got it right. In real life the hot young lover would actually be a middle aged guy with a beer belly dressed in a leather bondage outfit. Kinda ruins it for you.

The escapist fantasy with a fat, broke, balding dude sporting a gray pony tail.

Escapist means that it won't be a nasty looking man and an overweight assistant.

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.

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.

I don't know anything about the story, but it better be great because the 20 minutes of Skinemax is a snooze.

if other people like or don't like a movie. I like to see it myself and decide.


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

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.

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?
