Same here. I don't think I can miss it, but I will approach it with deep dread.

I held out against Fruitvale Station, though I heard it's good.

I heard Fruitvale Station is tremendous, but it's going to be a rental for me as the tension will probably make me sick.  :-\

Like I posted earlier, I watched Stuart: a life backwards and the two actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy did a great job together.  Guess it's a sign of a good acting that the actors can go from playing everyday folks to mythical villains  ;D

Jeff Wrangler:
So I heard and read that Charlie Hunnam has dropped out of playing Christian Gray (as in "Fifty Shades of"). I also hear that some book fans want Matt Bomer to play the role. Since, if I understand correctly, the book is basically soft-core hetero porn, seems to me it would be really something to have an openly gay actor play the male lead.

Or maybe the fans who want him for the role live in caves and don't know he's gay?  ???

I heard either dropped out or fired.  Not sure.  The story is trash, so I imagine only up and coming actors will want the role for the - ahem - exposure it will get them.
