Will you be going to see the film

I myself will be giving it a miss :-D :-D

Nope but then we dont go to the cinema now anyway

Read the 1st book and thought it poorly written with the similar scenario over and over again

No I didnt buy the book either it was given to me :-(

I think there may only be me and Stray
that's never read the books Shirley
Most of our friends raved over it

Two Sisters
by Nancy Livingston is more my style of book :-D :-D

or any Jean Plaidys

No, and I didn't read the book either, read an extract online but it was so badly written I wouldn't want to read more.

Yes Budgie that may very well come true :-D :-D

Didn't read it. Friend read all three then admitted she only did it so she wasn't left out of the conversation with friends. Said it was very badly written and she was very bored with them. She won't be seeing the film.

Don't know if the film will be available here but I won't be going. :-D

I went to see magic mike with my granddaughter
who's in her 20s
and spent the full time hiding behind my popcorn


I was traumatised

so this film isn't for me :-D :-D

I bought the trilogy but only read a portion of the first one and decided it was a load of rubbish so sold them to another sucker - will not be going to see the film - my friend is going to see it tonight - I'll wait and see what she thinks of it

Would rather poke my eyes out with rusty nails!

Never read the books...

No interest in the film.

Me too, Emma.

Heard what the subject was when the first one was published, and decided to give it a miss.

Never read the books (are there 3?)
Certainly won't be wasting money on seeing the film.

When there was all the hype over Dan Brown's book - the Da Vinci Code, I had a vague interest in the subject.
Rather than give Brown more royalties, I bought the book from a charity shop. Read it, dismissed it, and gave it back to the charity shop

I won't be doing this with 50 Shades of Grey, as I have no interest in a total stranger's sexual fantasies!!

There are people protesting about the film because they say it includes child abuse.

Sounds like absolute dross, just like Lady Chatterley's Lover over rated load of rubbish.
Still if you fancy trying something in the bedroom a little less "magnolia" I don't see any harm in it :-)

There is some disturbing merchandise:

No, not interested in seeing the film.

I was given the book by someone who claimed it was "great, couldn't put it down" but admitted it was the only book she's ever read all the way through (the shame!!!!) .
Anyway, the book sat on my bookshelf for ages until I finally decided to take a look and see what all the fuss was about. Huh, looked like a load of poorly written rubbish to me, so instead of reading it I donated it to Oxfam. :-S

I have the books because they came with a package of books a friend gave me for kindle. I read them to see what everybody was raving about. Wasn´t impressed at all and would certainly never bother with anything else written by her. As for the film not a chance of me watching it,

The only 50 shades of grey I will see is my hair in the mirror :-D :-D :-D :-D

I found my first grey hair last week
it was hiding in my eyebrow :-( :-(

I am going grey gracefully no edit that....... disgracefully ;-) :-D :-D :-D
