the funniest thing about the fifty shades of grey movie to me is how they insist on marketing it as coming out on valentine’s day to disguise the fact that its actual release date is literally friday the 13th
50 shades of grey as a global phenomenon makes the world seem bizarre in an extreme and completely new and modern way. Not even talking about the BDSM thing either, that's bizarre enough for a mainstream public concious level thing. But that one of the largest and widely known mainstream cultural talking points is a reworked Twilight fan-fiction is super nuts to me.
Out of curiosity I've been reading comments from the actor who plays Christian Grey, and it's fairly obvious that playing that role fills him with unremitting shame.
Some of the Red Room stuff was uncomfortable. There were times when Dakota was not wearing much, and I had to do stuff to her that I'd never choose to do to a woman.
The first day [of filming] was kind of an out-of-body experience. I got there and they said, "Action!" I'm like, "What the f—k is happening? I'm a dad. What?
Your dignity is intact as much as it's all tucked away in a little flesh-coloured bag... As a guy you put all your essentials in a little bag and you tie it up like a little bag of grapes and it's tucked away.
It was an interesting evening. Then go back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards … I had a long shower before touching either of them.
I assume he must have seen the script before taking the part right? I haven't read any 50 shades stuff but I feel like I'd have a reasonable idea of what I was getting into with it
does he just need the money or something
I can respect someone like Robert Pattinson hating the movies he's in, because there the sales pitch was a romantic movie about vampires, and he couldn't really have known that the movies' execution of that pitch would be as bad as the books. This guy just sounds like a complete doofus though. You signed up to do a movie where the entire pitch is "two people have kinky, vaguely S&M-related sex". Oh boo hoo, your poor sensitibilities, how could they ask a FATHER to do those horrible, horrible things, much less read even the first page of the script before signing the contract.
if the actor had said YEAH I WAS SUPER INTO IT I think that would scare quite a bit of the intended audience away
there is absolutely a way to say "all this kinky stuff was kinda fun" and word it so it doesn't scare the flatscans
Saying "all this kink stuff grosses me out" alienates at least one possible viewer group and tells the moms that those shameful tingly feelings they get when reading the naughty parts and how they have to hide it on their kindle are good and right and godly
Well it doesn't help that sex scenes in movies are super unfun to shoot unless you're a big time exhibitionist and enjoy someone yelling at you to stop or ok go a hundred times

Oh Pattinson knew exactly what he was getting into, which just made it even better. He outright said, "“When you read the book,” says Pattinson, “it’s like, ‘Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself.’ I mean, every line is like that. He’s the most ridiculous person who’s so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn’t do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that’s how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he’s a 108 year-old virgin so he’s obviously got some issues there.”

I'd be willing to try filming a sex scene in front of ok go

Question.
If it was the woman regretting having to do a bunch of stuff she considered gross on film in exchange for a hope of fame, who's now feeling exploited and unhappy about the experience.
Would you also be calling her a doofus? Because I suspect that this forum would jump down your throat in that case.
(also a script is not a 1:1 explanation of what is actually going to happen in the movie)
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
so i was planning on the next malky last week
then i got chickenpox
surprised the days QC of all things sorta cheered me up
@berk ugh chicken pox is suuuuuuuuper shitty as an adult, usually way worse than getting em as a kid. I got it while I was in college and was basically incapacitated for a couple weeks and I got a ton of scars from it. Hope your case isn't as bad as mine was.
Their Story is a chinese webcomic released by Tan Jiu here. But I only give that link because the fans who translate it to English request that anyone using their translations provide credit back to the original artist. The translation group's website is here. Both sites are occasionally NSFW and contain spoilers.
I think this strip kinda sums up what I find so interesting about this story so far. Gay fiction, especially asian gay fiction, is usually one of two flavors. Either it's a lot of blushing and furtive hand-holding and sem~paais, or it's angsty and self-discovery-y and walled off from the rest of society. Sun Jing on the other hand, at least among her classmates, is so far out of the closet she couldn't find it with a fucking telescope. Maybe it'll be an issue later, but for now everybody knows and nobody cares. And that's cool.

Thanks! I'mma probably binge whatever's available of this later, already tried to once last night before discovering I had no idea how.
and it's like, HELLO, why would I ever want to be friends with people whose opinions are objectively WORSE than mine??
This strip is pretty relevant to me because, as someone who staffs MAGFest, a con mostly built around retro game nostalgia and chiptune music, I get tired of the limitations that nerds place on themselves by the end of the weekend
I can only see so many doodles of things in NES-styled pixel art or so many covers of MegaMan songs before I start silently begging for some fresh air in the hotbox of nostalgia

QC is the best webcomic
I would like rabies please
there are a few more than that
Kochi's got a whole bunch of them.
I think the more accurate thing is gay guys don't seem to exist in SFW webcomics too much for some reason. Also Twokinds has a gay couple too.

Where are you getting these translations from, by the way? I checked the source link you put up a while ago but couldn't find anything in english.
