This will be interesting, women would rather watch this movie alone than with a guy they aren't interested in. Truth be told, the majority of men using this movie as a bridge to a Valentine's date are probably going to be men in orbit. Of course lots of women will be using this as some "Galentine's day night out" to mitigate potential dates from men they aren't interested in, but not all will.

The situation is interesting. Attractive women have probably been getting offers from orbiters all week, if not longer.

They'd rather go by themselves than with a guy they aren't interested in. Women don't want to go by themselves, but if they go with a guy they're not interested in (the vast majority), they'll be turned on but turned off at the same time.

At least they'll get free dinner out of it, free movie ticket, free popcorn. Then they'll know the guy is hoping to recreate scenes from the movie (regardless of how deep in the friend zone he is she'll know it's on his mind unless he's confirmed gay), so it will put them both in an odd position. If anything, this will bring orbiting to such a level that women have to admit it.

The other thing, this movie will cause whatever remaining attraction most married women still have to herby, purse-carrying, stroller-pushing husbands to dwindle quickly. The phrase "strike when the iron is hot" may have never been more true.

What's everyone's thoughts on the after-effects of this movie? Will it raise the expectations women have (since Grey has it all), cause a spike in S&M culture?

The one thing I don't think can be disputed, a large percentage of women will definitely be feeling more sexual, provided the movie is done well.

If one's taking a girl to a retard woman-movie for a date, they're doing dating wrong.

If you do go, wait until one of the S&M scenes and then yell "PUT THE LOTION IN THE FUCKING BASKET!!!" really loud in the crowded theater.

The movie could've been filmed in one take on an iPhone 4, this movie will slay the box office. Mainstream women don't give a fuck about the nuance of filmmaking, they're all about content and the feels it gives them.

agreed, the women going to see it are just going to see it so they can watch porn in public. The male equivalent would have been if they had the pamela anderson sex tapes in the theatres pre internet.

Or hide up the back with one of these things and troll the whole movie.

The funniest part about this movie is the convoluted response from the SJWs, feminists, and their supporters. They're bending all different directions trying to use the movie to promote their pet grievances. From what I understand, the movie's makers were extra careful to show that everything in the movie was consensual and that the woman involved is "strong and independent", while at the same trying to keep the spirit of the book which is a woman being massively turned on by being subjugated by a dominant man.

So is anyone from here going to see the movie?

I hadn't planned on it, and I really could care less how good the movie is. But I'm thinking of going... just to see what the fuss is about. And as they say, "know your enemy"

It will be a bizarre spectacle to see what SJWs/feminists come up with about this movie. There is just so much goddamn dissonance between the "strong, independent woman," "yes means yes" propaganda, and a narrative of a woman being utterly dominated under "contract" by a powerful man.

Reminds me of their views on porn. Is it degrading to women and part of the "sex trafficking epidemic"? Or is it a sex positive way for women entrepreneurs to pay their college tuition?

My thoughts exactly. I know a few I'll be hitting up after they see this. Oh the herd mentality of women, their easiest attribute to exploit.

If you've never been ina cinema screen packed with women and a couple of guys then you will do well to know you will get eye fucked if you stood up and walked past them.

I worked in a cinema long enough to see several women-only films and the crowds they brought in. Sex & the City was one I remember well. Eyes and faces follow you and you as a sole man feel hunted by this pack mentality.

I can just imagine what cinema ushers are going through now

The only good thing about this movie is that Rollo Tomassi commented on it in his article "Topping From The Bottom".

http://therationalmale.com/2015/02/09/to...he-bottom/

Quote:Roleplaying Games

As women find themselves coming into the open acceptance of Hypergamy and recognizing the social control they wield, the overstated perception they have with regard to their sexual market value will inflate with their collective egos. We address this often in the manosphere about how women’s self-perception of their SMV is grossly, unrealistically, inflated by social networks, media and popular culture. My assertion here is that BDSM – not just the overt kind, but the interplay of dominance and submission in any sexual intercourse – will become women’s fantasy outlet for a natural desire to be dominated by men.

In the case I illustrated with the CEO relegating himself to his mistress as a slave, so too will women’s sexual selves be a role they’ll play, and that role will be normalized for women through a feminine-primary social order. While men can be comfortably ridiculed for their desire to be dominated, women are sold the idea that their sexual selves are not their real selves, thus the need to be submissive can be forgiven of the strong independent woman® because her sexual self is not “who she really is.”

Quote:This is how the rape fantasy elements will be dealt with in the aftermath of so wildly popular a movie. It turns women on because it’s not supposed to turn them on. What fem-blogs will confront is the true nature of women’s Hypergamy being openly (likely proudly) embraced, but at the same time conflicting with the rape culture messaging that’s been pounded into our collective consciousness for the better part of 2014. Feminine duplicity will be on display and women will either say it’s their due, it’s “not for real” or that it’s Patriarchal sexual repressiveness that’s brought them to this (male shame).

Dalrock delivered this fantastic comment in one of my threads years ago, but I’m reminded of it now:

Quote:These women don’t just want to build a better beta, they want to tame the alpha. In fact, I think the former is just another way they are trying to approach the latter. They want to take an inherently unsafe activity and make it safe. They want to submit to a man without having to submit; they want a man who can tame their feral self. They want him to trip their danger signals. Even better if he is a stranger from a strange land.

They want this all to happen without giving up their freedom; they want to play this out in the context of serial monogamy, so they can feel loved while also claiming their promiscuity is moral. They want to lose control to a string of strangers who have all of the hallmarks of very dangerous men, and they want a promise that this will always end well.

They want to know that this will be safe, without it losing the excitement of it feeling unsafe. They are telling men to build a sort of serial monogamy amusement park where they can ride the roller coaster and experience the fear of falling or crashing, while knowing that just behind the scenes grown ups are actually in charge and are responsible for them safely feeling unsafe.

One more thing. As I mentioned above they don’t want to be hemmed in. So instead of building an actual amusement park, they want roller coasters to spring up randomly in the same exact circumstances where the real danger they mimic would appear. They want to be driving their car on the freeway one instant, and the next experience the fear of careening out of control the next. They want to impulsively jump off the edge of the Grand Canyon and have a parachute appear and deploy at the last minute. And all they ask is your guarantee that all of this will be safe.

The safeness women hope to effect for themselves can’t be entrusted to men. The dominant Alphas are inherently dangerous, and the more Beta men are too commonplace and less empowered than women themselves. The solution then is to rig the social structure to accommodate women’s thrill-seeking by socially expecting men to accept being topped from the bottom irrespective of “who a woman really is.”

The main reason ‘goth girl’ will never be content with a boyfriend she had to encourage to be more dominant is because his passivity was his mental point of origin for him. He’s already safe, before he’s allowed to play the role of dominance by her.

I'm seeing posts on Facebook saying the movie was disappointing. Haha.

Heh, 50 Shades is breaking records worldwide:

Quote:Notably, in Russia, the opening of Fifty Shades is bigger than any of the films in the Harry Potter, Hunger Games or Twilight franchises.

Among the highlights are Argentina where the movie is the biggest opener of all time with $1M. In Brazil, it is Universal’s biggest debut ever and the highest opening gross ever for a film rated 16+ with $2.4M. Mexico is the biggest R-rated opening of all time at $2.1M.

Although it was popsicle stick caricatures, the dry humor and delivery was awesome. That just summed up the whole plot which was predictable none the less.

The MSM keeps using this term "Galentine's day" to celebrate single women using this weekend as some nonstop girls night out, where they can collectively make fun of suitable men asking them out on dates, while complaining Mr Grey himself is isn't available.

It's being celebrated on facebook heavily as well.

Here's a cliffs notes version so no one has to read the book.

I believe it's written by a battered women or something so there's a fair amount of bullshit mixed it but you get an idea of how fucked up and stupid the story is.

(On a side note, battered women are fucking idiots IMO. Especially the ones that have multiple abusive relationships. At that point I assume they enjoy it)
