Since 2015, the patient fans of the book and wonderfully portrayed movie Fifty Shades of Grey have waited to view the upcoming sequel, "Fifty Shades Darker." It attracted not only the die hard fans who kept up with the books, but the sexual appeal of the book that was portrayed in the movie left all other viewers wanting more. According to Forbes, "Fifty Shades of Grey" "officially passed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office." Not only this, it was also named "Universals third highest-grossing opening ever" (http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/03...). "Fifty Shades Darker" will be hitting the theaters on Valentine's Day of this year. Why should you take the time to see it? Whether you go to the theater on a date, or show up with a group of dateless friends, here are 5 reasons why you should be going to see "Fifty Shades Darker" this upcoming Valentines Day.

1. Erotica

Let's be real, everyone wants to have the ideal sex life. Whether it is men or women, we all compare the experiences that we have had to make sure that we are "satisfied." I believe that this is part of the reason that this trilogy has done so well. Not only does sex sell in today's society, but people are always left curious, wondering if they are missing anything that another man or woman can be experiencing. This film not only displays the underlying intimate love story that the characters experience, but it also displays Christian and Ana's sex life, which many people have mixed feelings about. Whether you are a person that desires the red room of pain, or a person that enjoys the soft gentleness of your companion, there is something extremely satisfying about the erotica in this film.

2. Controversy

When the first movie came to theaters, many people invested their time to read the books to gain an understanding of why people were so interested in the story line. Some people will tell you that much of the story is about S&M, meanwhile some people will tell you that it is an intimate love story. Either way, the media blew up with the claim that these movies were a step down from porn. This spawned a debate over whether what the characters were doing in the story was socially acceptable. I don't know about you, but coming from someone who enjoys keeping up with controversies, I needed to participate in the wrath of this debate. Not only for the entertainment factor, but also because a debate such as this can change your perspective in things that you may do and experience in your own personal life.

3. Relationships

During the original "Fifty Shades of Grey," Ana didn't even have the desire to have a boyfriend. In the first movie, we get to know Ana as a character that is more focused on where her career is going after college rather than focused on still yet having to lose her virginity. Meeting Christian changed her perspective on life. Although this may seem naive, it will be interesting to see how their relationship advances throughout the creation of the future films, especially now that we've seen that Ana has experienced a taste of Christian's world. Will Ana and Christian get their happy ever after? Will Christian's mysterious love triangle get in the way?

4. Music

The first thing that I enjoyed when sitting down to watch "Fifty Shades" would be the soundtrack. Ranging from the strangely erotic "I Put a Spell on You" by Annie Lennox to the slowed down version of "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce. This leaves me with nothing but high expectations for the new and upcoming film. Whether or not you enjoy the story itself, the soundtrack will not disappoint you.

5. This film is not just for women

Although the main audience of this genre would be women, I believe that men could benefit from having a few Christian Grey qualities. I'm not saying that every girl wants to be beaten, but we do want to be treated special and unlike anyone else. I believe that the reason Ana is interested in Christian at the level that she is would be because he is often very unexpected. Instead of asking her what he wants, he often takes it upon himself to figure it out. Moral of the story would be that guys need to see this movie to ultimately understand how to impress women with not only expressing how they feel but adding a bottle of wine every now and then. Basically, everyone should buy a helicopter and fly their girlfriend around the lights of the city.

Through these reasons, I hope that the turnout will be just as good, if not better than the showing of "Fifty Shades of Grey." Not only is this movie erotic and sexy, but it is also inspiring and let's be real, your girlfriend may love to see it on Valentines Day. Do yourself a favor, and go see "Fifty Shades Darker."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
