Okay I want to post on fb that I did indeed see fifty shades of grey yesterday. Then I wonder why. I think it's too stir the put because I've seen alot of my "friends" be haters about the book/movie. Yet those same Christians were fans of the Harry Potter movie. So two consenting adults can't have sex but witchcraft is okay.

Probably another reason why I hate Facebook. So judgmental. Its probably why I don't post on here anymore but I do find some posts interesting. So often I think "who the f cares" which is what most of you are thinking reading this rambling.

So anyone else watch the movie would like to talk about it. The glider scene was so dumb. He dove and rolled it and then mysteriously was able to climb.
 
Haven't seen the movie,don't know what all the fuss is about. To each their own. The movie may hit to close to home for some.
 
Can't help you there. My FB has name rank and serial number (without the serial number.) I wouldn't post anything personal or controversial in it.
 
I'd just post it and tell any complainers exactly what they can do with their opinion.

The wife of one of my close friends is an anti-vaxer so several of us make it a point to post pro-vaccine stuff all the time. Just to razz her...

It's only the internet.
 
Why does anyone post anything anywhere?

I don't really have a social life. Most of my conversations are about whose kid is having night terrors or why we don't touch the dog's privates (Seriously Mrs. 6PC! stop it)

With FB I spew similar crap here and there. I am a little more PG rated on FB because my grandmother calls me out when I post about dildos or upload pictures of my junk.

When she dies though, All bets are off!

As far as 50 shades, I don't read books or go to movies however, I will gladly read your thoughts on the film. I heard the books were pretty badly written but were popular for whatever reason. I assume when that came out, every theater in town was packed with groups of wives lightly pickled in various red wines, ready to snicker and giggle at stuff.
 
My Facebook page is very vanilla, pics of the family, maybe the dog. I refrain from posting pictures of the Conquest, I will show the 182 occasionally, especially if it's with my son flying. I don't have anything remotely political or religious. :nono:
As for a movie review, I'd probably go ahead and put it on there, maybe describing certain scenes. :D
 
I read the books when everyone was talking about them. I didn't see the big deal. The story wasn't great and you're right Bryan, they were written terribly IMO. Women loved them because it was a trendy way to be racy and sexual. I've read better stories in Playboy.

Yes, that's right...I actually READ a Playboy ;)

Might as well. The real stuff involving goats and donkeys is all on the Internet.

Speaking from a foreign perspective, it seems very much an American thing to be all concerned about sex and nudity, while everything else (from extreme violence to witchcraft) goes. The movie got an under-12 restriction in France, meaning that anyone 12 or older can go and see it, and it doesn't show anything that you cannot see in a documentary on German TV any given Sunday.
 
Great comment on NPR's "Wait Wait" show this past weekend - "Where are the North Korea hackers when you really need them?"

One of the local university newspapers interviewed BDSM participants - they are extremely infuriated by the film because it doesn't reflect BDSM accurately, and it promotes assault & rape.

Good enough reasons to avoid the book and avoid the movie.

I was only in a glider twice and don't recall it climbing that well with the tow plane not being there
 
I thought the right thermals could keep you up for hours. :dunno:

That glider scene was stolen directly from the Pierce Brosnan Renee Russo remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair". They did it well in that movie, I'll probably never see this one.

Sexual convention in cinema has always been murky waters...
Ever see "The Secretary"?

This is America, read what you want to read, watch what you want to watch. Let the haters be haters lol

What confuses me, if I treated a girl that way in the real world, it wouldn't be racy and sexy, it'd be creepy and probably considered rape.

FB gives you the option of following who you choose.

If you were rich and as good looking as that guy everyone would probably be cool with it, that's the sad part.

So, you'd like to share your opinion, but don't care to hear from those who disagree? In that case, it's probably better that you don't share.

Nothing personal, but it's always interesting to observe how so many enlightened and open-minded people are quick to label as "haters" and "judgmental" those with whom they disagree. Something seems a bit odd about that.

For what it's worth, I haven't seen the movie or read the book, or even paid much attention to the buzz, but i could say the same about almost every movie that gets released.

In the sixties, or early seventies, everyone had to run out to see Deep Throat and get all googly about sex and nudity.

oh well... that woman spent the movie wearing an outfit that looked a lot like my bride's, but what-ever floats your boat.

When the Story of "O" came out, everyone had to run out and get all googly about it because it was all S & M, or some ****.

Whatever., If you want to pay money to watch a woman get raped and beaten,..

Every so often this crap comes out and the "enlightened" crowd has to get all googly about it.

SSDD.

Actually I saw it with a pilot buddy and our wives. I found it to be a yawner. I actually liked the glider scene....

So how was the movie ?
Click to expand...

Like I said, 3.5 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't that great either. I'm not going to argue about the basis of the movie I don't think it was rape or whatever. It's a great love story how two people come together and change each other to the other persons liking. Christian wanted Ana and she wants him. He knew he had to give her the "roses and flowers" crap and she had to let him get his demons out. Spoiler alert...he changes by book 3.
 
As far as fb goes, I only have an account to keep an eye on what my kids post. My wife, however, posts several times a day and keeps in contact with several of her friends that way. I have scolded her time and again for putting things that are WAY too personal out there for everyone to see.

As for the negative comments people leave on fb, it's a lot like any internet forum. As Taylor says...well, you know.

As for 50 Shades, a friend loaned me the books as they were released because she knew how much I would enjoy them. I thought they were great and have looked forward to the movie for a year now. Except the theaters have been sold out for the last week. And to be honest, books are almost always better than the movies and I'm a little hesitant to be disappointed. But we are headed to see it this weekend.

I'm amused by the haters of the books/movie based just on the sex parts. Read the books, and not just passages, and you'll find that the sex is just one part of the relationship.

It's a fun read, certainly nothing to take seriously. The only thing I don't understand is why so much trash is produced in Hollywood when there are some excellent books that could be turned to film. I read 1-3 books a week, a lot of Patterson, Harlan Coben, John Sanford, CJ Box, etc. I used to pick up every Grisham book the day it was released but he started slipping ten years ago or so. I just finished Gray Mountain. I liked the aviation references but was astounded by some of the inaccuracies. I wonder if he butchers legal references as badly. (if he ever read that, he'd think "haters gonna hate, hate, hate...")

I see so many spouses airing their very personal dirty laundry about fights between them and their significant other on facebook.

My wife fortunately is better than that. I'd be irate, things like that shouldn't be shared.

I think most people see a difference between a BDSM fantasy and a children's fantasy story.

When you boil it down, both are fictional, but one is a fantasy about what the writer wanted to have happen to her. Sorry, but there are only so many unmarried kinky billionaires out there and you're not getting one.

On the other hand, magic isn't real, so you might as well compared it to a story about unicorns.

I agree that's why I come here! POA is pretty much a judgement free zone! :rofl:

There was a great glider scene in the first 'Thomas Crown Affair', the one with Fay Dunaway and Steve McQueen.

I never really did get the whole S&M thing. What woman has such appallingly low self esteem that she thinks she needs to suffer for another's gratification? And what guy would purposely inflict harm on someone about whom they supposedly care? Color me mystified.

The same sick people who whine about it on FB.

What is FB for really? I don't have one and I still breathe. And since I am free of FB idiots, I am going flying. See ya!

It takes all kinds I guess.

Some of the BDSM folks are complaining that the book/movie dont depict the lifestyle accurately ;)

I just had a flashback to an assembly we had in high school. The admin. had invited a state trooper to talk about driving safely. I guess he had time to kill because at the end of his presentation he started talking about premarital sex. He managed to get several sentences out, a few pretty much what you've said here..."what type of girl has such low self-esteem that she needs to put out for guys' gratification? And guys, why would you do that to someone you supposedly care about?" The principal raced to the podium to pull him away. I don't recall another safe driving assembly after that.

What people do behind closed doors is personal. I don't think they need our approval. But if you read the books (don't, please) it's not about low self-esteem. It's that he has a need for control. And she wants to please him, and doing so pleases her.

I was anti FB for a long time but then I found it really does help in a couple situations. I certainly spew BS all over it but prior to FB, I would go get pictures taken of the kids and email them to mom and dad and grandma and on and on. Now you just throw them up and mom and dad print and frame the ones they like.

The messenger feature is pretty convienent as well.

I stay away from contraversial topics on FB and pretty much in life in general. I have also gotten a lot of good music I would not have otherwise heard from friends posting videos of bands they like.

It is like 30% useful and 70% guilty pleasure type stuff IMO

It would appear that officer friendly might have certain shortcomings, given that he didn't understand that women are perfectly capable of putting out for their own gratification.

Couldn't agree more, I wasn't advocating making the stuff illegal. Like I said, I just don't get it.
