* HilariousInHindsight: An erotic film about a woman in a BDSM relationship with a man with the surname of Gray/Grey sounds a lot like ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. The filmmakers of ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' certainly noticed the similarity, as they would cast Creator/KimBasinger herself in the ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' films as Elena Lincoln, the former lover/dominitrix of Christian Grey.

Elizabeth? Don't talk. I've got a question to ask you. You know, all the while I was with my friend... I was just wondering... What you were doing in there. I was wondering if perhaps maybe you were going through my clothes... looking in my clothes... looking at the things in my closet. And I said, "No, she's not that kind of a girl. She's a good girl. Good girls don't snoop, do they?" So come on, you can tell me. Tell me if you've been a Nosy Parker. Hey, come on. Really, I want to know. I'm your pal, right? So tell me. You can trust me. It'll be our secret. So tell me. Tell me.

Adaptation Displacement

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDisplacement: The book, supposedly a memoir of an actual relationship the pseudonymous author had, came out eight years before the movie's theatrical release, and given both that the movie takes considerable liberties with it and it only developed its US cult audience on video in the ensuing years, most viewers aren't aware that it was based on a book.
