    Well here's an extract I quickly found - it sort of made me laugh

    “I pull him deeper into my mouth so I can feel him at the back of my throat and then to the front again. My tongue swirls around the end. He’s my very own Christian Grey-flavored popsicle. I suck harder and harder … Hmm … My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.”
    What the heck?! I've read better sex scenes in Harry Potter!
    How are women getting turned on by this nonsense? :confused:

    While he is gorgeous and does kind of spring to mind, I think I would have to stop watching True Blood as I would massively dislike him for it.

    The same for the Emma Watson rumours.

    Lol! Well she's making quite a fortune of this trilogy so she probably will retire after this and reside in her new £3M mansion!
    Thank **** for that.

    So basically, they'll be showing (soft) porn in cinemas?
    Never thought I'd see the day...
    No doubt they'll tweak it so it meets the most commercially viable 12A rating.

    You wouldn't be embarrassed if you made as much money as her though
    True, I really doubt she cares that she can't write for **** when she's loaded, but if I'd known that was all it would have taken, I would have done it years ago :cry2: (Under a pseudonym, of course ...).

    :lolwut:

    OK, with the reputation this book has, no way would the film be given a 12A rating. Possibly a 15, but they would probably make it an 18. It'd be pretty ****ed up if kids were able to see it.

    If Anna Paquin played Anastasia, I'd have to watch Seasons 3 and 4 over and over again :sexface:

    No worries, it was just a joke! Sorry, I couldn't find a smiley that made the sarcasm obvious so I decided to go without.

    It was merely just a reference to all the films that have made last minute edits because they realised they were getting a 15 instead of a 12A! :creep:

    Manuel Ferrara.
    Oh cmon. The dude looks like he's the head of a Colombian drug cartel, not some suave billionaire.

    People are only saying Bale since his part in American Psycho wasn't far detached from Grey.

    Daniel Craig would get my vote, if I gave a ****. The book was terrible.

    Yeah thats exactly what I think, he plays the bad look so well. And tbf the girl in it (I can't remember her name but he goes out with her in real life too) she would be really good as Anna as she has that look about her

    Well, Christian is rich, pompous and a prat.

    So...



    (Granted, not an actor, but imagine if George IV was )
    the award winning star of 'House' would be disappointed to hear you saying that.
