We know pretty much all there is to know about Fifty Shades of Grey at this point, but there's still new information coming out. This week, a lyric video for "Earned It," The Weeknd's original track made exclusively for the movie, was released on YouTube. The song is slow and sultry, and we can only imagine how it's going to play on the big screen when Ana and Christian are getting . . . close. Listen to the song below, and stay tuned for more trailers and sexy GIFs before the Valentine's Day release.
There's refuge in the familiar. There's reassurance in the reliable. There's security in the consistent. The same way we gravitate to comfort foods, do we gravitate to the faithfulness of a story archetype. These are the stories that follow an unswerving narrative arc — be it that of the hero's quest or the unlikely romance or the steadfast structure of a "Law & Order" episode — and in doing so bring order and a feeling of safety in an out-of-control world full of chaos.
Some frequently condemn these stories as predictable, when in fact that is often the precise reason they are so successful and beloved. With three movies that cumulatively brought in over $1.3 billion worldwide, The "Fifty Shades" franchise is one such set of stories, following the same tried-and-true formula of a standard romance, with a lot of kinky sex -– or at least an allusion to it — thrown in, and they all connect to and reflect one another. Let's take a look at some things you can find in every film of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy.
