Makes sense to me. Movies and computer games have content warnings, why not books?

Today when I told someone I didn't like Fifty Shades because it's abuse, she said that I must have a terrible sex life. Unfortunately, I was working at the time, so I couldn't scream "The sex is not the abusive part!" Like I wanted to.

I finally decided to go and get a proper haircut. The aforementioned number 2 on back and sides with a neatened top. And while I do rather like it, I can't help but feel that I'm starting to look like the guy who plays General Talbot in Agents of SHIELD. I do look younger though. If I shaved I could probably pass as a teenager.

Aaah, thanks for the info. I'm only into very, very light bdsm stuff, so I didn't know any details. It still seems a bit silly for such a simple system to exist.
And believe it or not, I do enjoy writing these reviews, even for movies as bad as this.

I think I only watched one episode of the original show. Back then I didn't know the history of the flag so I didn't pay much attention. I did however, watch the remake movie when it came out. At least then it wasn't the Dukes who put the flag on top. And they were a bit upset when it was put there, since people kept calling them racist. Not that they bothered to remove it though.

Mara Wilson (A.k.a. The girl from Matilda) took part in this. She asked if James got tendonitis from hitting 'block' so often.

Well, that's definitely going into Thursday's review.

I'm very, very lazy when it comes to haircuts. I normally only get one roughly once a year and even then it's just self-done (As in, number two all over). There was a time when let it get so long that I could literally sit on it (And since I'm a 6 foot guy, that says a lot), but I got fed up of that when people kept mistaking me for a girl (But now I've come to terms with being gender-fluid, I miss it). My last 'haircut' was at the end of December. I shaved my entire head (And beard), but messed it up on one side, so I had to go closer than I planned. It did not look good. A few weeks later though and it filled out.
I keep meaning to go to a proper stylist. Multiple people have told me that a number two on the sides and a 'neatening up' on top would suit me.

Has anybody else noticed that the cover is essentially the same as that of The Host?
And it's at times like this that I hate working in a bookstore (That also sells DVDs). I can't count how many times I've had people saying that this book and the movie 'misrepresent' Chedward. This is how the author sees the character. The very person who invented the character sees him as thinking like this. This is exactly how he is supposed to be.

There you see, how little attention I paid to that movie, I never realized they relocated Dusseldorf into the Bavarian Alps.... I grew up in the next town, I think I'd remember mountains ;-) I'll be honest, I only knew about that because of TvTropes. But yeah, it really annoys me when movies get details like that wrong. It's not like it would have taken them that long to find out what the scenery in Dusseldorf would be like. They had Google back then.

I guess it's good news that it's easier for people to understand why we find Grey so creepy. I guess? Between the movie and this book, her fanbase must be dwindling to almost nothing. I'm actually kind of interested to see how much worse the next movie will do compared to the last.
