I respectfully disagree--to an extent. I think that, yes, if you're even a minor star, you can choose your roles. But when you're not offered that much and you have a chance to be in this mega-hit (don't get me wrong, it will suck, but idiots like Starzeshine and iSundling will still go 10 times, and this piece of s*** will still make money), this is your ticket to fame.
As mentioned, this will probably have a sweep at the Razzies and isundling will still come to this board and make a feeble, embarrassing attempt to defend this piece of s***. (She has claimed that she wants to go to her grave with the books and DVDs, which would be pathetically hilarious if it wasn't so sadly true.) But I look forward to interviews a year or so from now, when people like Dornan, Fanning, and the other stars admit, "Wow, those movies and books were unbelievably bad."
But you have to understand their situation: Jamie Dornan has no career right now; Dakota Fanning has no career right now; the supporting cast has no career (and as pointed out, they're even attempting to remove their names from the movie). They are clinging to this for money only. I think that Jamie and Dakota will eventually (rightfully) denounce this piece of garbage series and its misogynistic perspective, but in the meantime they are doing what most actors in their situation would do.
Again, this movie is going to be pathetic; I don't disagree and I actually agree with most of your argument. But I do have somewhat of an understanding for them doing it, and acknowledging that they'll later trash this piece of s*** series (much to isundling's sadnesss and hurt).

Okay, I'm not disagreeing with you. You're probably right.
I'm all for sex in movies, but these movies are terrible examples. My only point was that these actors probably have no interest in the politics or messages of stupid *beep* movies like this anyways.
Hollywood is notorious for producing movies that they don't agree with. I fully expect Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson to eventually say how stupid these movies are.

P.S. You're probably right if these moronic movies had a serious message. But they don't and are laughed at by all book critics and movie critics, at how amazingly bad they are. Thus I don't think you have anything to worry about as to anyone taking them seriously about anything misogynistic.
By the way, I donate money each year to multiple charities, including women's fight against spousal abuse, rape, legal rights, equal pay for equal work, etc.
