Universal sued Smash Pictures for its production of "Fifty Shades Of Grey: A XXX adaption". Instead of being an adaption, it uses the same characters, story, dialogue, and style as the book. Universal wants all of the copies of the porno destroyed along with the sex toys made along with it. Universal is trying to stop the production of the two porn movies based on the next two books in the series.
This is very unimportant. The only reason I'm taking the time to talk about it is because it's ridiculous. Fifty Shades of Grey IS PORN. There is literally no difference between that book and any other erotic novel. Even if Universal made the movie, there would be no difference between the box office movie and the porno. It is still a porn movie about a woman having sex with a rich man. It is still a pile of smut and filth, and that is undeniable.
As a consumer I want nothing to do with this movie or anything that has to do with it. I do not want to see some vulgar pornography taint the screen of any theater. It's just a book about having a bunch of kinky sex with a rich guy and uses various forms of BDSM in it. It's called "mommy porn" by the media for a reason. It only appeals to the sad, sexually depraved mothers that actually read that disgusting novel. Sure it will be big for them, but is just downright disgusting for anyone else. There is a reason why erotic novels should not be made into movies. Movies with a lot of sex are porno, not movies. It's just a grotesque idea that needs to be thrown in the "Disney Vault", if you ask me.
While reading the article, I questioned why they were arguing. Why do they care if a porno was made about the book if the film will be the same thing? If you're making a dirty movie, leave the company that is exposing Fifty Shades of Grey for what it really is alone. I mean just look at how dirty this movie is. Is this appropriate enough to go in theaters?
