Are you going to see Fifty Shades of Grey for Valentine's Day?

Ill wait till Netflix puts it out,havnt been to the movie theatre in 10 years,just too many wackoos in those seats nowadays.
 

No. I actually wish people would stop talking about this movie, and about the trilogy. It's one of the few things I think society needs to hush about. We're genuinely better off acting like it never existed. Just... Shhhhh!

Of course, I will be avoiding this thread from now on. I'm so serious that I'm using my vacation weeks and refusing to leave my apartment or speak to almost everyone until this movie has left the theaters.

And believe me; I don't feel this strongly for any reason you would expect or have heard before.

Now you have my interest, I can only think there was a bad experience? Of course I understand if you don't want to talk about it.

Try us. Some of us might have more life experiences than you think ... and to be honest, shutting yourself off from the world because you don't like or agree with something is a losing proposition.

I know. I've tried it. It never works. It's just putting a blindfold over your eyes and ... oh, sorry, I'm drifting into "that topic" ... :cool:

The quantity of life experience is irrelevant...
It works for me. Always has. I'm not blindfolding myself; I see very clearly and I'm taking care of myself.
I'll come out when the movie leaves theaters.
End of discussion.

Sorry, but my experiences dictate otherwise so I'll stick with what works for me. Good luck with your efforts.

Those are YOUR experiences. Mine have consistently proven what I know to be true. My only "effort" is staying away until the movie is out of the theaters. Again, THAT is THE bottom line. And again; make all the assumptions you want.
 
I'm not making any assumptions.

You DO realize that the movie - and the books - and the merchandising - isn't just going to disappear when you decide to emerge from your burrow? That the world will still be talking about it, that there will be sequels, maybe a Broadway play?

You realize that you'll need to keep a trigger-finger on your TV remote, your Internet connection, your smart phone? You'll have to be ready to turn your gaze when you come across a newspaper or magazine article?

Just sticking your head in the sand doesn't make problems go away - ask any ostrich.
 
No, it won't disappear, but it won't be IN THEATERS ANYMORE. AGAIN: THAT is THE bottom line. Pay attention.

So once again, I say: Speaking from NEARLY A CENTURY OF FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE, this IS the SOLUTION to MY problem with this movie.

That said, there actually have been times when avoiding something made it easier for me to deal with later. But that's another topic.

AGAIN, make all the assumptions you want, and AGAIN: END OF DISCUSSION. You DON'T know what I'm talking about.

Then instead of sniping and growling at me, why don't you try explaining?

Or would you prefer to just close your eyes and pretend I'm not here?

Again, this has nothing to do with pretending that something isn't there. Very far from that. Those close to me understand perfectly what it's about.
 
Not prying here, why did you respond in the thread if you don't want to talk about it, why say anything at all?
 
Because there is a gray area between saying nothing and saying everything; most people understand that. I can share a little without sharing EVERYTHING.
 
SifuPhil said:
That's an assumption on your part.

I'm just interested / fascinated in this cut-off point of yours, for when the movie is no longer in the theaters. Are you talking local theaters, state-wide, nationwide, worldwide? Second-run theaters?
Click to expand...
You're right. Perhaps some people tell everyone everything. I'm not like that. Most people aren't.

You don't need to know which theaters I mean. You'll just have to remain curious. I shared all that any of you have the right to know.

End of discussion.

That sounds awful, the last weird movie I thought might be good was Eyes Wide Shut, that was the last time I just listened to the reviews, YUCK!

That was one movie I went to that I didn't want to (reason: married at the time) and it was pathetic.
