The 50 Shades Of Grey movie hype is growing as the movie's release date (February 13) gets closer, which means a barrage of media attention is once more on the mommy porn flick. And that means I get to hear endless apologies and explanations for how what may be the most sexist, poorly written piece of literature since Tucker Max thought he was relevant.
Listen, if 50 Shades Of Grey turns you on, that is your business. You do you. I'm not here to judge anyone for their bedroom behaviors, be it vanilla sex or BDSM. As long as you're all consenting adults, have at it. But there are parts of 50 Shades Of Grey and its sequels (Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed) that are much more painful than being spanked with a riding crop, and I'm not talking about the painfully, secondhand embarrassingly bad dialogue (which is bad enough).
It's the relationship between Ana Steele and Christian Grey that's really disturbing, and at times flat-out abusive. Also unsettling? The relationship between Ana Steele and herself. And between Ana Steele's brain and, I'm guessing, huffing glue. Here are the creepiest, most disturbing moments in 50 Shades Of Grey (and its sequels). Keep these in mind when deciding whether or not to order advance tickets to the movie, okay?
