50 Shades of Grey release on Friday is causing some excitement on social media and in the press. Rumours or press speculation suggest the cinemas around the country will be bursting at the seams while I will be hanging on until it appears on Sky in a year or so no rush to the cinema for me.
Most of my social media friends are saying they have no intention of succumbing to the hype around the film. I suppose quite a few will end up sneaking in and thanks to multi cinemas they can hide their true intensions by pretending to be off to watch Shaun the Sheep. It is suggested the cinemas will be full of sexually frustrated wives and girlfriends rushing to see the erotically charged pages of their favourite novel come to life onscreen.
The two main characters in the film have been at pains to say how uncomfortable they felt making the sex scenes in the film. However, it’s not just the cinemas and film companies looking forward to the money rolling in. Sex shops and internet sex outlets are looking forward to a second coming with nipple clamps and whips shooting out the door.
While in America one cinema chain are reportedly have taken the drastic measure of fitting wipeable plastic covers to the seating. They claim it will help with the turnaround meaning they will have the screen ready for the next showing in minutes. The more cynical and dirty minded could feel it is for another reason. Especially if you frequented the old Prince of Wales cinema during its old ‘porn flick days’ you would have an idea of what I am talking about.
Over this side of the pond B&Q are stocking their shelves with essential products and have sent a memo to all its stores entitled ‘Staff Briefing,
Following the film release of Fifty Shades of Grey, B&Q employees may encounter increased customer product queries relating to rope, cable ties and masking or duck tape. Store Managers should anticipate the need for extra stock and store staff should read the following brief to prepare them to handle potentially sensitive customer questions.
Knowing how much B&Q like to put on an in store demonstration this could be interesting. I envision they soon will have detailed instruction pamphlets on how to build your own bondage equipment like frames and racks.
Experts say the film is more likely to lead to more sexual experimentation owing to the fact you are watching instead of reading.
