50 Shades

Dakota

~~~~~~~
I have it on DVD but I haven't watched it yet. I also read the book and was :shrug: about it and a little uncertain why the book got all the hype. I am more interested in Dakota Johnson's acting (the whole Don Johnson/Melanie Griffin spawn thing) in the film which was my interest in getting the DVD.

Now a book I did read around the same time was "Wild." When I heard Reese Witherspoon was going to make this a film, I was really looking forward to seeing it. The story is a bit dark and dreary, with some hope of perseverance, but having lost my own mother when she was close to the same age as Cheryl's mom, it was a story I could relate to, especially when she described her mother's battle with cancer, which like my mother, was a very short battle. For emotional reasons, I really was glad the movie didn't go into much detail about her mother's death.

If the movie was like the book, it would be long sequences of psycho analysis, inter spaced with x-rated porn concerning bondage, training for subservience, complete submission by the woman and dominance by the male, etc.

Unfortunately, I have to admit I read the book, and it becomes disturbing.

I will not see the dvd or whatever. The images from the book implanted in my brain are enough, thank you.

I literally turned it off and was like "ehhh, dude has mental issues" and I for sure wasn't impressed, neither was my husband :shrug: to each their own though !!

IMO, the movie is a tease; 'course I've never seen it; not going to. It simply sounds like a sexual deviant wannabe who finds a sexually inexperienced young woman and does a psyche job on her. :shrug:

I haven't seen it yet but get mixed reviews from everyone I talk to. I'm not really excited about the cast though so ehh, I'm in no hurry and I'm certainly not paying (much) to watch it :lol:

I've never heard of that app! :jet:

It's an app my husband has on his work phone, it's an android only app. :ohwell: but once you get the app (free) you can watch it on your phone OR, like we did, purchased the plug in USB thingy and it projects what's showing on your cell phone onto the TV !! :yay: I watched Gone Girl that way too !!! (not sure if that's out on DVD yet, it wasn't when we downloaded it).

Where do you purchase the USB plug-in? Is it a regular USB plug or one designed for Showbox?

I'm not sure actually, I didn't believe my husband when he said all of it would actually "work" I know he got the USB part from Amazon. I can look if you like? I'm sure it's in our purchase history.

I was looking at the app for Showbox and the only one that comes up says "discover apps and get paid". Can't find the actual app that you are talking about. If you can find the USB part, I'd appreciate it. I'll keep looking for the correct app.

Googled it and it's not available in the Play Store. Says you download it from a different source.

It's the app with the Red Eye on it. I know some people who've had a hard time locating it.

I didn't have high hopes for the movie because the book was just so-so. The first 30 minutes are a bit cheesy but it actually gets better. The "sexual" scenes were actually thought out very well, IMO, and both actors did a pretty good job. It can't be easy having 20 people watch you "perform" in the nude and I think they pulled it off. Now that I've seen the first movie, I'm looking forward to Darker and Freed, both coming out in 2 plus years.
