Bandwagon

        People! Stop with the 50 shades petitions!! If you are really against the supposed "porn" that is in rated R movies than protest THAT instead of choosing an obvious/popular/easy target. The Loft is more of a misogynist movie than 50 shades. Think before jumping on a bandwagon. It doesn't mean I disagree with the nonsense of "sex sells" but if this particular movie is "porn" how are other rated R movies with "sexual situations" not porn.
      This post by no means justifies making a movie out of an awfully written, unoriginal rip-off erotic novel. I am aware of the story and have read some of the 'novel'. One, there is romance (whether it is a widespread type romance...up to you) in the novel. Two, she is just as much of a consenting adult as the man. Three, he tells her to not be around him or be with him. He warns her off. Take from that what you will. Four, does anyone know much about DBSM? I don't and personally do not want to. And admit to not have read those parts of the book. So I do not pretend to have an opinion. I do however believe in loving equal relationships that express their love through intimacy. Intimacy that isn't just for instant gratification and selfish reasons.

    Anyways, the point being that if you are going to stand up against porn and movies that only sell sex than do it. Don't just say you are against porn when the target is just one of many examples of useless rated R movies that make money by blatant use of sexual situations.

Bandwagons aren't long lived rides and aren't always lead by honest guides. Just figure out your own opinion and act how you will.
