The film adaptation of the best-selling book series "Fifty Shades of Grey" still does not have a screenplay. But according to one source, there is only one possible rating the movie will receive.

"It will be rated NC-17. It will be raunchy," screenwriter Kelly Marcel told U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times.

"We are 100 percent going there."

They won’t go there. There’s major chains that won’t even carry it, not to mention stores that won’t sell the DVD. Major revenue loss if they get an NC-17. Maybe the first pass will, but they’ll edit it, it will release with an R.

So...they want to try making a big budget porn flick?

In a world with internet porn?

OK.

And this rates as major news on one of the biggest TV channels?

They’re probably already planning on a TV show to follow the movie, in prime time.

Here we go. The PR people for this trash are starting to leak how “edgy” and “close to the line” it is as a way to gin up ticket sales. But the bottom line is that this is not “cutting edge” or “pushing the envelope” or whatever other words Hollywood uses to try to make itself look lie the leading edge of the 60s Revolution — this is simply porn for people who can’t bring themselves to buy an XXX video at the adult book store. Its pathetic.

No need. Go to the remote and click the appropriate PPV channel.

Maybe they can premiere it at the White House as the new normal for Obama’s America.

Didn’t you make a promise about leaving FR after you lied through your teeth and got caught?

I believe it had to do with porn if I remember correctly...and I do.

Hey DJ, WTC is at it again. Think those link to his Stephen Baldwin posts are still good?

Oh and WTC, I dunno if you are aware, but pretty much everyone in America knows that you can get porn on the net and on PPV, so before you go making accusations like that in public, you might want to think before you post.

But that never stopped you before I guess.

How low?
Well, we’re this low: Fifty Shades of Crap started out as Twilight Fan Fiction under the title of “Master of the Universe”.
Yes, a book on dysfunctional relationships started out as fan fiction on yet ANOTHER dysfucntional relationship.

Hey Skippy, as if they don’t know.

So why exactly are you here again? Proving what your word are worth I guess. Cuz,,,you know...If you can’t keep your word about leaving, I can’t see why you’d be trusted to be an authority on a stranger’s viewing habits.

Perhaps you still haven’t gotten over your public humiliation a year back and just hold a grudge? Our post histories carry the whole thing and I invite anyone to dig them up just to see the kind of person you are.

Because remember, YOU started this go-around. Not me.

That would be the remakes of “Beauty and the Beast”, “Pocohantas”, and “Pinnochio.”
