There are only three more days until the Fifty Shades of Grey movie comes out!! The amount of drama and hate this movie has stirred up completely dumbfounds me. I could go on and on and on about how wrong people are about these books and movies but I will spare you all that time and some it up: if you don't like premarital sex don't have it, if you don't like the type of sex described in the books don't do it, it really is as simple as that. There are so many people saying how horrible the books are because they promote abusive relationships and rape. There is absolutely zero rape in these books. In fact there is only one short paragraph in which Christian Grey takes things to a point where that could be considered too far but it is immediately addressed by the characters and corrected. While sex is a prominent part of the books it is not what they are centered around. The main part of the books is their connection and relationship and how it changes the way they think and act: the impact two people/a relationship can have on each other. I am praying that the movie doesn't stray too much from the books (and i'm not talking about the sex scenes) its one of my big pet peeves. I loved the hunger games movies but in the first movie they changed one of the most important details and it ruined the whole movie for me. While we are on the subject of movies that used to be books lets talk about The Slap. The Slap is a tv mini series based upon a book that I read. The book is about a backyard barbeque gone wrong. It starts out as your typical get together friends and family gather to eat and have fun and celebrate nice weather. The kids and a few of the adults start a game of baseball but one of the kids gets out of hand and a danger to others. The kid is swinging the baseball bat at other kids so an adult (not one of the kid's parents) grabs the bat away from the child and is then attacked by the child so the adult slaps the child. The book tells the story of the slap from everyone's point of view and how it has impacted their lives. I am very excited for the show and will most definitely be watching tomorrow night. Did I mention the book is based on a true story? I highly recommend it.
