I want to see Magic Mike for the eye candy!  It just came out today here, but was sold out when I went, I was gutted :(  I admit I only want to see it for Channing Tatum and Alcide off True Blood getting their clothes off, lol.

My Mom only wants to see it for Alicide from True Blood. I was like he's not even a main character...
That was my favorite one too!! I love Alcide ;)

I agree with Julilly ...it was hilarious and there were some hotties in it. I didn't like the whole thing with the other guys dister...it was pointless.

Karin tweeted this review of 50 Shades of Grey, and I had to repost it here.  It was entertaining!  Thanks, Karin!

I read all of the reviews that person had for all three... the first review is definitely the funniest.

OMG there's this TV show on right now all about 50 Shades.  They've got real BDSM - or whatever you call it - people on there saying that Christian would be considered a stalker!  There's loads of people on there slagging the book off, reading it out and laughing, lol.

I don't know much about BDSM, but I have heard that 50 Shades does not represent that lifestyle accurately AT ALL and that real BDSM people are offended by it.  That is funny!

Have you guys read Bared to You by Sylvia Day?  Love it, way more than 50 Shades...

My friend sent me e-book of this series. At first, I was debating if I should read the story or not. I've read so many negative comments about the book. Then I've decided to give it a try, it was given to me free anyway.

I can't imagine the scenes playing like a movie in my head as I read it. It seems like there was a whining teenager in front of me telling me her story. I couldn't get past page 20. I stopped reading.

Maybe when I am really, really, really, really, really bored, I might remember I have fifty shades of grey e-book sitting in my inbox.

Uh oh! I feel like I'm going to get in trouble when I say I sorta liked this book! haha

I definitely didn't think that it was anything special and not worth the hype it's getting but I found it to be such an easy read I got through it really quickly. The whole time I was thinking "I just want to know what could possibly happen next!" which kept me going through the whole series.

I agree with some of the comments that the sex scenes weren't as "scandalous" as they were portrayed to be by the media but I thought it was just a fun summer book like any other paperback romance novel. :)
