Books Grey is Beige Yesterday, Lainey wrote about the #AskELJames hashtag hijacking (click here for a refresher) and, having read the book, I can understand where (and who) those tweets are coming from. People like me who spent $11.99 on Grey. I’ll start with the bad and get to the worse (things By Maria • Jun 30, 2015 12:15 pm
Media Manipulation Don’t forget about Christian Grey Fifty Shades Of Grey was a smash hit at the box office. There should have been only good news coming out of its theatrical release. Except instead of positive headlines, all the focus was on the fact that they couldn’t get their sh-t together for the sequel(s) because By Lainey • Apr 30, 2015 04:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sam Taylor-Johnson is done Not exactly a surprise. Sam Taylor-Johnson didn’t bother trying to pretend during interviews leading up to the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey that there wasn’t creative conflict between her and author EL James. So the speculation that she would not return to direct the sequels was more By Lainey • Mar 26, 2015 09:35 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Great. Do they finally come? Fifty Shades Of Grey will be released on DVD on May 8. They want your money so they’re promising that this version will be “unrated”, with an alternate ending and new scenes. Like… Come scenes? One of my biggest problems (aside from Jamie Dornan’s overall discomfort) with the By Lainey • Mar 24, 2015 05:37 pm
Jock Smut Jamie Dornan: golf season Jamie Dornan went to the range in London the other day to work on his swing. Incentive to sign on to more Fifty Shades movies? You can golf all year round in Vancouver where they shot the first movie. Still no definitive word on that yet though, right? There are By Lainey • Mar 18, 2015 04:49 pm
Media Manipulation Jamie Dornan isn’t finished It’s too bad. Because if you’ve seen Fifty Shades Of Grey, you know he needs more finish. I’ll say it again: more come face, give us more come face! Four or five sex scenes and no climax? How is this allowed?!? So anyway, about those rumours this By Lainey • Feb 25, 2015 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Dakota Johnson’s giggle – Fifty Shades Of Grey movie review Like I’ve been saying for weeks, I went in there hoping for the rubs, hoping to see a movie that would get me off. I think we all were – Cynthia Loyst, Jessica Allen, and I went together, with no expectations but with also with no hate. Rather, we were By Lainey • Feb 12, 2015 09:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Fifty Shades of bush Here are Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan “in character” for W Magazine. Two days. Are you ready? Are you ready to get horny?!!??? Don’t front like you’re not going. They’re projecting $60 million on the low end and $90 million on the high end. That means more By Lainey • Feb 11, 2015 03:53 pm
Shame Jamie Dornan’s apologies Jamie Dornan was in New York this weekend for a final promotional push before the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey this Friday. The studio has already greenlit the two sequels; they’re likely confident with their numbers predictions. I wonder though if they might want to talk to Dornan By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 11:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Fifty Shades of Want vs Need Duana taught me something I repeat often here on my blog. In her case, as a screenwriter, it’s about how the story and the audience relate, and how it’s the writer’s job to: Give them what they need, not what they want. I’ve been thinking a By Lainey • Feb 06, 2015 10:28 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Christian Grey or Ryan Seacrest? Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan cover the new issue of GLAMOUR in advance of the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey. He looks so much better with facial hair. And, as you know, the Christian Grey character, the way it’s being represented in the film, does not have any By Lainey • Jan 30, 2015 11:20 am
Media Manipulation We get it, you’re not showing your dick I feel like it’s one of Jamie Dornan’s key messages: you will not see his dick in Fifty Shades Of Grey. Dornan covers the latest issue of Variety in advance of the film’s February 13 release. Just 3 weeks away now. And, as I’ve been telling By Lainey • Jan 21, 2015 09:46 am
Golden Globes 2015 Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan: Globes unhorny (The bottom of this post is NSFW) “Together on stage for the first time…” That’s how Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan were introduced. They were there to represent Fifty Shades Of Grey. They were there to promote the movie. To put it in your heads that you should consider By Lainey • Jan 12, 2015 05:45 am
Media Manipulation Jamie Dornan DETAILS Like I said, when he’s not moving, in still photos, sh-t, he’s hot. And every single one of these shots is hot… With one exception. There’s a walking photo! Walking pictures are typically a slamdunk. That’s why they’re a go-to for a lot of promo By Lainey • Jan 08, 2015 04:54 pm
Media Manipulation Award show Christian Grey Jamie Dornan arrived at LAX yesterday. LA is where they need to be this week, the actors, the industry. Even if you’re not going to the Globes, you want to be at the parties, at the luncheons, wherever you can get in, for face time, to network, build those By Lainey • Jan 07, 2015 12:39 pm
Quiveration Oh yeah, Jamie Dornan Amid all the award season strategising and divorces and hookups and weddings etc, I totally forgot. We’re just a month out from the release of the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie. And it’s supposed to be an EVENT. I want it to be an event. Even though I By Lainey • Jan 06, 2015 01:43 pm
