Chicago – Strike one of far too many: “Fifty Shades of Grey” author Erika Leonard (better known as E.L. James) has never lived the Bdsm lifestyle. And therefore, nor should she be writing about, romanticizing and profiteering on it. On a $40 million budget, the film earned $30.2 million on its opening Friday and is on track for a record-breaking international weekend grab of $158 million.
But this is as irresponsible as an author writing about rape who has never been. Anne Rice wrote “The Sleeping Beauty Quartet” (four erotic Bdsm novels under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure), but she was actually engaged in Bdsm with her husband. Experienced with it, Rice also wrote the Bdsm romance novels “Exit to Eden” and “Belinda” under the pen name Anne Rampling.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
While “Fifty Shades of Grey” is every trashy novelist’s dream, there are much better ones including Sylvia Day’s “Bared to You,” Leah Brooke’s “Crescendo,...

The erotically charged novel Fifty Shades of Grey has already become a phenomenon among eBook readers, but now it will be titillating on a much larger screen.

James, with plans to create a trilogy out of the novel and its two sequels. “At its core, this is a romance of the most emotionally resonant, but delicate, order — and we look forward to working with our colleagues at Universal to transform E.L. James’ vision into a great film,...

Shadowlocked's third podcast finds London-based site editor Martin Anderson and regular NYC contributor Aaron Knier taking a look at the schism between attitudes to nudity in American and European cinema.
In the piece, Aaron notes the huge disparity between early 1980s MPAA PG standards and modern standards, while Martin wonders whether an endomorphic body shape cam kill or hinder the career of a good actress, as Aaron recalls David Fincher's reluctant decision to not cast her in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo due to her 'distracting' physiognomy.
Among the arguments against a renewed laxity in regard to screen nudity is the prospect of several years of American acclimatisation to a 'phenomenon' which European audiences shrug off as no distraction to the narrative - and the difference that the internet has made as regards actors' willingness to disrobe for the cameras. Both female and male nudity are discussed, and...
