50 Shades Darker: Okay, okay, so I know the vast majority of people question the rest of the population who are excited to see this film. However, have you seen the trailer? It looks good. You know it does. I remember my first encounter with the population of women who go nuts about Mr. Christian Grey, and for a very long time, I refused to read the books. I held on for a long time, too. However, I had this one friend who wouldn’t let it go and bothered me to read them until I caved. I ended up at my local Target to buy the trilogy on sale.

Now, I enjoyed the escape for the most part when reading this series, but did find a lot that annoyed me with the entire world of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. My main qualm with the series was if Christian weren’t rich and ridiculously good looking, no one would’ve been all about him. Money talks, even in the fictional world. So although I am no die-hard fan, I will give credit where it is due. I read through all of them pretty quickly and had to know what happened next. Whether or not you love something you’ve read, it has evoked an emotion within you. Truthfully, I believe that’s all most authors are looking for—connection with a reader, good or bad.
But, back to the movie that sparked worldwide interest. Based on the trailer, it looks to have more action than its predecessor. We know there will be one more film to come (slated for a 2018 release), and even though I have read the books, I do not remember all of the details. What I do remember is the masquerade party because fancy parties are fabulous, the crazy girl, because Leila had issues going on, and I believe his brother causes issues of some sort. What I don’t remember entirely, is the creepy guy where Anastasia works.
Eric Johnson (Criminal Minds, Smallville) will be playing the creepy boss you see corner Anastasia in his office. At one point he asks her if she wants to be kept or have respect. Umm, what I want is for you to get out of my face. That’s something I would say, but for purposes of keeping Anastasia more of a submissive, we see her running out of the building and into Christian’s arms. Unluckily for Jack Hyde (Johnson), Grey buys the paper where she works. As I’ve said prior, bits and pieces come back to me fragmented, and I don’t know how I couldn’t remember how creepy he was. But then again, it almost feels like all of the men in Ms. Steele’s life have some sort of a creep factor. Coincidence?
13. Hollywood Stars Can Never Catch a Break
First, there was the massive outrage (well, according to my Facebook feed) at Charlie Hunnam being cast as Christian Grey. He wasn’t good looking enough or tall enough or what was pictured in the minds of millions. Then, there was a state of acceptance. Given that Hunnam is a versatile actor (we see you, Jax), a collective came around to the idea. Then, Hunnam dropped the bomb that he would not be accepting the role. Enter Jamie Dornan. I hadn’t known much about Dornan then, but rinse and repeat the sentiments of the public. The most recent backlash came in the form of Jamie Dornan being clean shaven for his role as Christian Grey in the first Fifty Shades of Grey. Apparently, he wasn’t “sexy” enough. The producers hopped on board with this opinion and agreed to let Dornan keep stubble for the next two films. To his benefit, Dornan has stated he doesn’t feel comfortable without a beard, so basically, it’s a win/win.
