Are you posing from the future there Tim? <br>
I thought the remake sucked.. -

I finally got around to watching Fifty Shades of Grey.<br><br>
It is so much better than the book, but that is what they call damned with faint praise.<br><br>
Dakota Johnson does pretty bloody well considering Ana is such a flaky moron in the book, actually gives her a bit of heart and humour. Jamie Dornan is a cardboard cutout, but Christian is such a revolting, creepy character, he had nothing to work with. The sex scenes are tepid at best, everything given a glossy plastic finish. Rainy day, no brainpower required flick.<br><br>
4 fucked up shades out of 10.</p></blockquote>
Not a fan of the book Mokey,<br>
I thought all you authors stuck together !<br>
Of course I'm certain your work doesnt glamorise stalking and physical abuse -

<p>Even authors are allowed to be readers, funnily enough. And like all other humans, our tastes vary. I admire E L James' success and savvy, but I hate the way she portrayed BDSM in her books. It is wrong and damaging and incredibly insulting to those who practice it.</p> -
For something that started as a piece of Twilight fan fiction, she did alright out of it.<br><br>
But the wife read the book and said it was more "chick with serious issues" than "erotic fiction".<br><br>
Mrs TA studied psychology at Uni, hence her analysis.<br><br>
So I didn't get a single root out of it. -

<p>Ha, yeah, probably the wedding episode rather than Wentworth Prison in Season 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To turn her into a sobbing mess seeking comfort sex, the episode 'Faith' in Season 2.</p> -

<p>There's two things going on here, are you going to correct that in your next book and will you be writing it from firsthand experience ....?</p> -

<p>Ha. I have a trilogy releasing next year through my American publisher that is set in a pleasure club. Book 2 has a sub/dom relationship.</p>

<p>Research is fun.</p> -

<p>I'll look forward to the movie in 3 years time - hopefully it's better than Eyes Wide Shut. :)</p> -

<p>I've seen that on Netflix - might give it a look.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what it is about, but my personal observation is that, unless its got Channing Tatum and/or Chris Hemsworth shirtless and ripped, its not going to do it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Further observation reveals that, if the studios can manage it, they should just release new versions of Magic Mike on a regular basis so that Mrs TA can have a night out with her friends, including dinner and drinks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some reason, that works better than trying to convince her to ovulate more than once every 28 days.</p> -
<p>am sure she will like the male lead in this too...you might even like the series too.</p>

<p>Scottish series set in early Georgian times (1740s), based on the books by Diana Gabaldon. Heroine Claire Randall is a time traveller from 1940's England.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sam Heughan (hero Jamie Fraser) is hot, shirtless and ripped, in a kilt. Lots of sex, battles, seriously fucking evil villains, and gorgeous scenery.</p> -

Should frame this discussion in the following terms:<br><br>
My wife doesn't watch Game of Thrones. <br><br>
I'll just go outside and catch some Pokemon or something... -

<p>My wife loves the books, and the TV show. I watched a couple of episodes with her. I thought the TV was poorly done. If you need a monologue over the top to tell the story, it's poorly written in my opinion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The main chick is kind of alluring though i guess. </p>
