<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2171193, member: 27832&quot;]LOL. <i>Fifty Shades</i> is positively tame compared to a lot of what was getting attention in the 1960s or 1970s. And during the 1940s, if you&#039;ll look it up, the top three box-office winners were actually <i>Bambi</i>, <i>Pinocchio</i>, and <i>Song of the South</i> -- but if you ask ten people what movie exemplifies the period, I&#039;ll bet at least six or seven of them will name <i>Casablanca</i>, a far cry from the cowboy hero tales you choose to remember.</p><p><br /></p><p>And today, <i>Fifty Shades</i> isn&#039;t much more than a blip when compared to, say, <i>Hunger Games</i> or any of the superhero franchises. Not intellectual tour-de-forces, to be sure, but I don&#039;t see them as any more &quot;candy-like&quot; than the formulaic westerns of the period you admire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
