50 Shades of Grey is better with Buscemi

Add as a preferred source on Google

Whatever you might think about the storyline for 50 Shades of Grey, Shakespeare it ain’t. More of a symbol for sexual awakening than a story that actually resonates in the realm of reality, the upcoming movie based on the bestselling novel is ripe for parody. And who better to fill in for the movie’s rising star, newly crowned “heartthrob” Jamie Dornan, than…Steve Buscemi?

Chronicling a myriad of scenes from throughout the character actor’s career, we get a hilarious glimpse of what might happen should Anastasia Steele’s enigmatic new lover, Christian Grey (yes, those really are the names of the characters), be replaced by the notoriously “funny lookin’” Steve Buscemi. From Buscemi’s unforgettable lipstick scene in Billy Madison, to snap shots going all the way back to Reservoir Dogs, this new Trailer Recut from Boo Ya pictures clowns on the 50 Shades trailer in high fashion.

The idea is still in the early stages, with no timeline or launch details, but it reflects a growing challenge. YouTube and other free, ad-supported platforms like Tubi and Roku are attracting more TV viewers, forcing streaming services to rethink how they compete.

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead. That strategy helped make it the world's biggest streaming service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, the company is increasingly concerned about a different metric: engagement.

While Netflix continues to post healthy profits and retains one of the lowest subscriber cancellation rates in the industry, executives are reportedly seeing early signs that people are spending less time watching content. That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.
