  - The Redbox at my grocery store is exceptionally busy. -- nm - Qale Feb 5, 17:49
  - I mean, they're about a third the price of VOD, at a minimum. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 17:21 11
    - IK,R? What where are the outlets? Where does one go to rent a movie now? -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 17:23 10
      - There is a Redbox in every grocery store and McDonald's around us. -- nm - droidlet Feb 5, 17:31 3

Under 2 days to go on my phone's auction, no bids. I'm wondering if my rating is coming into play here where it didn't when I sold more wanted items. -- nm - Qale Feb 5, 16:39 3
- I guess I'll take this as a sign that it ain't the way to go about things and end the listing. -- nm - Qale Feb 5, 16:56 2
  - I'd just wait. You'll get bids in the last day. -- nm - droidlet Feb 5, 16:58 1

  - while popularity has declined from its peak, they have stayed in amazon's top list throughout - every time I've looked anyway. (the peak was huge.) -- nm - b. Feb 5, 17:02 2
    - Yeah, it just seemed a year or two ago you couldn't NOT hear about the books. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 17:07 1
      - Yeah, but for us it was because they'd have a different person every day reading excerpts. -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 17:11

  - Sexy x 3,600! -- nm - Ultron Feb 5, 16:49 8
    - I'd say that maybe if they cast some actors that actually had chemistry. Maybe filmed it on closed sets. Upped the ante to NC-17. But it's still based - Qale Feb 5, 16:53 7
      - something I saw said the adult scenes were pretty closed. I don't think it ever was going to be nc-17. the rest, though, yep - especially the power - b. Feb 5, 16:57 6
        
        In interviews the dude talked about being naked with fat hairy men within a foot of him. -- nm - Ultron Feb 5, 16:59 5
        
        That's where I was thinking it wasn't exactly a very closed set. Maybe they should have just had the actors and the dp (or director) with a GoPro. -- nm - Qale Feb 5, 17:52 1
        
        with the level of specific placement they reportedly had to do, and care with shots, I don't see how they could have. - b. Feb 5, 17:56
        
        so they should have had the camera and sound people work through holes in walls? spy cams? there have to be some people, but that's - b. Feb 5, 17:01 1
        
        They should have hired sexy people for the crew! -- nm - Ultron Feb 5, 17:08
        
        But, the door was closed. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 5, 17:01
- Hmm, did Johnson and Dornan sign on for the possible sequels? -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 5, 16:31 1
  - Signing on for sequels is basically compulsory at this point. -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 16:32
- The most front loaded movie in history. Discuss. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 16:25 10
  - If so, we're talking worse than the Brett Ratner X-Men movie -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 16:41
  - I'm pretty sure there's backloading as well. -- nm - David Feb 5, 16:39
  - is there a signature drink like sex in the city had the Cosmo -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Feb 5, 16:37 6

  - "And that's why you always leave a note"? -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 16:56
  - Well, it wasn't that widely watched... -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 16:22
