Good Morning, Mr. Grey

.

A million laptops just slid off a million moist laps this morning, as the trailer for the mommy-porn-du-jour Fifty Shades of Grey hit. Watch, wonder, cat-call and cream yourselves...

Sometimes I wonder if there isn't a little bit of misogyny in the collective disdain for this series - it's why I stopped making fun of Twilight eventually, because the fan-boy groans that series was met with felt a wee bit off, like how dare girls have dumb stuff too. Not that I ever got around to Twilight - I accepted they just weren't meant for me and moved on. With Grey though...

... there,seems to be some stuff that's meant for me in this trailer. It's funny, coming on the heels of my recent re-obsession with American Psycho - I don't doubt that the Grey books are shit, I've read passages, they are unbelievably embarrassing, but the fact that a woman is making this movie (like Mary Harron made Psycho) is kind of offering me hope.

Then again, unlike American Psycho, a woman also wrote this claptrap, so maybe my comparison's moot. It's not like Sam "Mrs. Aaron Johnson" Taylor-Wood is spinning around a man's misogynist vision from a feminist perspective. This is all on you, ladies. So hit the jump and put it on you...
