Alternate Suggestions for “Fifty Shades” Casting

The list for October 16, 2013
NOTE FROM CHRIS:
It’s baaaaaack — that horrendous mommyporn novel
that somehow manages to keep making news. This time,
it’s because the actor tabbed for one of the leads in
“Fifty Shades of Grey” has decided to pull out (heh).
That leaves Dakota Johnson, daughter of Don Johnson and
Melanie Griffith, without anyone to paddle her behind
in the movie version of the novel about a virginal
recent college grad who falls for the charms of a
young billionaire who’s into sulking and mild bondage.

I say let’s replace her, too, and take
things in a entirely different direction.
Here are twenty better shades of casting…
