I tried reading the free amazon preview a long time ago but was so bored I couldn't even make it through the whole first chapter. The only reason I made it all the way through the Twilight books was because my sister gave me pirated copies of the audiobooks.
From the teeny-tiny bit of 50 Shades I managed to slog through the main girl character seemed as characterless as Bella, and the main guy character seemed just as super-creepy and controlling as Edward, and seeing as how I hated both of those characters in their original incantations, and found their entire relationship in the Twilight books to be vacuous and insipid (not to mention completely superficial and unhealthy and I have major issues with a book directed at teen girls that holds up relationships like this as the pinnacle of romance and love) I couldn't bear the thought of reading about those exact same people all over again.
Won't see the movie on principle. I don't want to mare my image of Jamie Dornan as the serial killer from The Fall (a show he was fantastic in) and I saw an interview with the main girl on Jimmy Fallon and she was the worst interview.

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
