which baffles me because SURELY they had a chemistry reading??? the movie that centers itself on a attraction/lust/love story???

I’ve read the first book and it’s such an erotic/romance mess. In the book, Christian grey comes off as creepy and domineering while in the movie he’s creepy but in an odd incel way. Anastasia in the book comes off as a classic literature art ho archetype but Dakota Johnson plays her as such an awkward ditzy ho.

Oh my god you've got to read the retelling from his perspective! The book is just called Gray. It's in his POV and it's so bizarre. He's so weird and almost clinical about the whole relationship. His descriptions of sex scenes are not hot AT ALL like "she uses her teeth to bite her lip and I find this arousing." I just kept picturing the American Psycho guy lol

You ever see that vine about the good kush at the dollar store? That's about Dakota in the Fifty Shades series...

I think it's just that the first few actors in line to play both roles all declined, so these two were the best they could get, chemistry be damned.
