Ok Scuttle, I don’t know if you’ve
had time to read the book “50 Shades of Gray” by E.L. James so here is a quick
synopsis, thank you Wikipedia:
“The plot traces the relationship between recent
college graduate Anastasia Steele and manipulative billionaire Christian Grey.
Steele is required by Grey to sign a contract allowing him complete control
over her life as well as a non-disclosure agreement, something that he's
required from all of his previous submissives. Upon learning that she is a
virgin, Grey agrees to have sex with her in order to prepare her for later
encounters, fully intending that the contact would be signed. As she gets to
know him, she learns that his sexual tastes involve bondage, domination and
sadism, and that childhood abuse left him a deeply damaged individual. In order
to be his partner she agrees to experiment with BDSM, but struggles to
reconcile who she is (a virgin who has never previously had a boyfriend) with
who Christian wants her to be: his submissive, to-do-with-as-he-pleases partner
in his "Red Room of Pain.”
Prattle: And then there’s
this:
“Film adaptations
Several studios,
including Warner Bros., Sony, Paramount and Universal Pictures entered bids for the
film rights to the trilogy,[2][25] with
reports stating that James was requesting to retain some control during the
movie's creative process. On March 26, 2012 it was announced the rights
had been secured by Universal Pictures and Focus Features. It
has been reported that Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgard, and Ashley Benson have
expressed interest in acting in the film.”
**I read after this, that Universal picked up the rights.
Prattle: Uhhh…yeah, Ian… *slurp* as Christian?!? Yes please! Sir, please! Thank you, please
Sir, please!! Alexander Skarsgard? Hmmm…interesting…but what really would they
be able to put in the movie?
Scuttlebutt: Um…. WHAT? Ian? Alexander? *drools
uncontrollably* Well… I haven’t read the book and the truth is that I am not
really into that BDSM stuff (or I’m too afraid to admit it even to myself…) but
I think it would be quite an interesting sight for my pretty eyes… *grins* And
Ashley Benson wants to act in the film… uh huh… uh huh… *nods*
Prattle: I think if you explored it, you would
be a Dom for sure..go out..explore!
*winks*. I can understand it to a
degree, not the kind that is all about pain and degradation. I can see how letting go and being submissive
would be great!! I can see some business
owners (or something) needing to let go of all their power for a bit and just
take it. I can also see the workers that
have to take the owners crap (not literally, that’s gross) being dominate. Roll reversal roll-play I guess.
Scuttlebutt: Really? Me? A Dom? Ughh…. Hmm…
Prattle: @cynde had showed me a video of my
Gerard Butler for Christian, but I think he’s too old at this point. A younger Gerry, say from Tomb Raider, would
have worked WONDERS!!! But Christian is supposed to be under 30, Gerry’s age is
showing now. NOT THAT I MIND!! I would love to create a BSDM with a Gerry
type… I think he could pull it off verra
well, verra well indeed.
Scuttlebutt: Your Gerry huh? *snickers* I don’t
know if I could see Gerry as a BDSM type… I think that BDSM is about control…
having control over somebody, leaving control to someone else. I would prefer
him to be as brute as he can. *giggles* No control for me please!
Prattle: Oh, I think he’d make a great looking
Dom on film…or in a Red Room in my head..yes yes! And yes..MY Gerry! *giggles*
Scuttlebutt: *winks*
Prattle: I guess they could leave a lot to the
imagination, make it more psychologically sexy instead of overtly-in-your-face
sex. Then it would be porn!
Scuttlebutt: Yes but PLEASE don’t let them make it
a PG13 movie like they did with the fade to black scenes in Twilight! And porn…
*cough* I’d like to watch some Alexander porn… I wouldn’t mind at all…
Prattle: I think………………………..oh sorry, got lost
in the idea of Alexander porn.
Scuttlebutt: Let’s both just take a second (or an
hour) of imagining that………..
Prattle: I think I was expecting more out of
the book, for it to be more like Master of the Universe, which of the parts I
read of that (thank you @bellaflo for suggesting it a long time ago!) did have
my panties bunched up in a wad!
Scuttlebutt: Well, I haven’t read that or that but
I take your word for it! :-P
Prattle: Of course it isn’t going to win
awards, simply on content…but it was an ok read. I think I read it in less than 24 hours. My only hope is the second book is better
than the first one.
Scuttlebutt: 24 hours…? Lucky Mr. Prattle… *grins*
Prattle: We were going to discuss the
differences between the Shades books and BDB (Black Dagger Brotherhood) books.
Scuttlebutt: Were we…? I’m sorry but I have lost
my mind to Alexander porn…
Prattle: *drools* We are easily distracted, aren’t we?
Scuttlebutt: Distracted? Of what? Oh! You mean the
post… uh huh…. Alexander nekkkiddd…. Mhmm…
In case you missed it before...
Prattle: I’ve mentioned before that I think I
like the BDB books better than the first Fifty book because. 1) Vampires
2) They protect their women (the one that is into bondage is the one
that gets tied up and stuff)
And 3) Vampires.
Scuttlebutt: Can I add 4) Vampires into the
equation?
Prattle: Good point, yes you may add your
number 4.
Scuttlebutt: Don’t forget the Vampires point!
Prattle: I know she had to tone the book down
from what it was, but I really wish she hadn’t..that was what made it sooooo
great, and to quote Wikipedia “mommy porn”.
The pleasure part and how they interacted had a much better
flow..whereas BDB was HAWT right from the get go. Of course, I could have too much Kink in my
system..it could just be me.
Scuttlebutt: *pats your back* Don’t worry sugar…
you are in good company here… pervy fishy…
Prattle: Wikipedia states
that “A reviewer for the Ledger-Enquirer described the book as guilty fun and
escapism, but that it "also touches on one aspect of female existence
[female submission]. And acknowledging that fact – maybe even appreciating it –
shouldn't be a cause for guilt." I
can agree with this statement! *looks
back at the pic of Gerry licking the corner of his mouth* Ooooooooh yeah….Laters baby… *winks*
