    Twice. Within a few minutes. What the?

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I haven't caught up yet, I'm about to read your review of Chapter 6, but so far I have a few comments.

    Ana has so little agency that she brings shame to the genuine submissives that exist in the BDSM community. If the millions of people who have read this book genuinely think that this is how a true dominant/submissive relationship works, then I am appalled.

    I am happy to hear you say this.

    Also, is it just me or does Ana act like a teenager? She seriously gives me the vibe of a teenager. Did I miss where you mentioned her age? I think you said she's off in the working world at one point so I think she's not still in school, but I could have just not read properly.

    I added explicit content for, well, the explicit content.

    After reading this thread, I am way more excited about the movie. I'm going to need a lot of alcohol.

    According to people who have seen it it's an In Name Only adaptation.

    It means they stripped out all the bdsm and other subtext from the film. Which might be an improvement in a lot of ways given how much the books get wrong but it has unfortunate implications of its own.

    I have absolutely no idea. It's just going to be a typical romance film apparently.

    That's even worse. They're capitalizing on the gross popularity of this warped novel to rake in cash. Stupid, stupid.

    Well that is disappointing.

    But I guess porn doesn't go to movie theaters anyway, so it isn't surprising.
