5 Cheesy '50 Shades of Grey' Lines the Movie Should Skip

by Jeanne Sager on June 21, 2012 at 10:18 AM

50 Shades of Grey style blindfoldListen, people. There is something I think we can all agree on. You aren't reading Fifty Shades of Grey for the fine writing. You are reading it for the s-e-x.

Simmer down now. I'm not hating on Christian and Anastasia and their steamy romance. But even author E.L. James calls the best-selling trilogy more mid-life crisis than masterpiece. And with the Fifty Shades of Grey movie deal in the works, I think it's high time we put together a list of the cheesiest lines we do NOT want to see in this flick!

1. My Inner Goddess -- She can "sit in the lotus position," "do the merengue," or "do the dance of the seven veils" all she wants, as long as she does it far, far away!

2. My Subconscious -- Ditto. If she's not fully "conscious," let's leave her out of it. 

3. Sets His Mouth in a Hard Line -- What does that even look like? Go, take your phone to the nearest mirror. If you can make your mouth do this, please snap a picture. We don't think it can happen.

4. He's my very own Christian Grey flavor popsicle -- You know who eats popsicles? My 7-year-old. So just. Don't.

5. Unman Me -- For a guy who calls himself a "dom," this is a pretty strange phrase. Note to writers: Christian Grey's sex appeal is supposed be all about BEING a man!

Go ahead. Add yours! What lines from E.L. James' books would you rather not see or hear in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?

    I completely agree with #4 but I actually think the "Inner Goddess" lent some much needed brevity to some of the scenes?

    ”I'm going to take you now, Anastasia.” I cringed every time he said that.

    I couldn't stand how she kept saying Geeze over and over and over again. And then there was another one that once I read it got too grossed out to finish the book. But I'm too embarrassed to type it. :)

    "holy shit" over and over and over again.  The first book didnt' irritate me as bad with the repetitiveness, but by book 3, I could barely make myself continue to read (just needed to find out the end of the story!).

    They should just not make it into a movie.  But I thought it was so lame that she referred to her vagina as her "sex."

    Honestly, I loved everything from the book. But I have to with Cakegirl0905. "Jeez" got annoying after a while. I disagree with everything else.

    "apex of my thighs." Ew. I think the "inner goddess" is important but every time I read about her I pictured that old Lizzie McGuire show? Anyone remember? Where she had like I little animated version of herself that would make cameos here and there?
