"50 Shades of Grey" is 50 shades of forgettable
It shouldn’t be surprising that Sam Taylor-Johnson, the director of 50 Shades of Grey, would be a little off her rocker considering the movie is about a man who is obsessed with turning an “emotionally needy heroine” into his sex slave.

“I didn’t want to do something where it’s just a projection of ego and a big smile and, you know, ‘Here I am, at the top of my game,'” she explains.
