    <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><strong>So I didn't get a single root out of it.</strong></p>

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

    <p>A company that sold Pens called Pen Island became, yep <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.penisland.com'>www.penisland.com</a> and another that searched for therapists was <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.therapistfinder.com'>www.therapistfinder.com</a></p>

    <p>Watched 'Showgirls" last night.....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Christ on a bike, where the fuck do you actually start with this flick ? The dialogue is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad and the lead character seemed incapable of doing anything without doing it "really dramatically"........she is also a complete and utter self centered bitch but marginally less so than the chick played by Gina Gershon so I think we're supposed to sympathise with her. In fact every single character is pretty fucken loathesome, the only one who is a nice girl ends up getting gang raped.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As I said, so many bad they're good lines of dialogue, I'm sure the people who wrote it were taking the piss....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114436/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114436/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu</a></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>......oh and a ridiculous amount of titties, Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon are hot as fucken anything.</p>

    <p>Watched "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." last night. A harmless, fun little movie, i was pretty entertained the whole way. Thought the 3 mains all played off each other pretty well. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Thought "okay, the 2nd could be fun now that everything has been established" then i checked the numbers on IMDB and realised this was pretty fucking far from ever getting a sequel. </p>

    <p>Apparently IMDB is full of "Trolls" who use fake logins to boost the ratings for shit movies.......saw a few last year in particular that were fucken diabolical but still got respectable ratings, everyone on the message boards was throwing all sorts of accusations at the "reviewers"</p>
