It was totally worth it because I went with a really fun friend who was in it for the laughs and we laughed the whole time and made the experience totally worthwhile. If I went with people who wanted to see it because they found it earnestly interesting or erotic I would have been really miserable.

most do, but inevitably a few studios will spend big money on some slashpic and watch the results either langish in development hell or be released to critical ridicule and audience indifference

A friend who works in a theatre just informed me that someone left a whip behind at one screening (though this reeks more of "ironic" viewing than anything).

my sister works at a movie theater, and last night she told me they found a condom on the floor during cleanup. i was like "ew, those 50 shades fans are sick" and she said "no, it was in the theater for the Spongebob movie."

I remember my parents going to see Wild Orchid. A year or so later, when it hit cable, I snuck downstairs late at night to watch some of it and was pretty much like "so, this is what adults find hot?!"

Thanks to winning a VCR circa 84/85 at a fundraiser raffle, my father treated the entire family to some uncomfortable family movie nights with movies like Body Heat and 9 1/2 Weeks. My takeaway was that my dad is super shameless and a total hero.

50 Shades of Armond: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/413741/50-shades-dull-armond-white
Enterprises such as 50 Shades of Grey and Gone Girl, designed to exploit modern moral confusion, also mean to rationalize political disorientation. Anastasia and Grey’s sadomasochistic love/hate symbolizes contemporary bewilderment regarding capitalist politics. Rich, empowered men like Grey are shown to lead and seduce us, while a new consumerist myth (replacing rugged individualism) suggests that our naïve affection — the opposite of buyer’s remorse — can redeem them, just as Bill Clinton has been redeemed and sanctioned by the mainstream media.
