One Shade of Grey

Not that I needed a reason not to watch Fifty Shades of Grey, but this poster on the train last week stopped me dead.

His name is Grey! Get it? The grey areas with a guy, named Grey. This adds the movie, and the book, to that list of things I’ll never make the time for, just because the pun in the title is so unforgivable. Top of that list, for about 15 years, was Good Will Hunting – although I did temporarily rescind that and watch it once.

When I heard it was about a guy named Will Hunting, I said, “Forget it.” Will Hunting. He’s a good guy, and he’s hunting for good will. Good Will Hunting.

Like the chain of Italian food megastores, Eataly, never. I’d rather have Chef Boy-Ar-Dee at the worst Korean bodega in Midtown.
