The first ones were funny and it was a new concept, but now it's just plain stupid that every movie/reality show has to be made into a stupid parody.

I agree for the most part, but I think this particular situation makes sense. Fifty Shades is all about the sex. There's 13 sex scenes in the first book alone.
There's no way that any mainstream film will do it justice and give the readers what they actually want. My money is on Universal turning this into some mildly kinky coming-of-age movie, when reality it's all about the fucking. Women are swooning over the fact that they might get to see Matt Bomer or Ian Somerhalder getting naked and screwing some young actress when all we're going to get is maybe some R-rated tit flashes and some sheet shuffling.
IMO, this one wasn't a parody - it's how the movie should have been done, and I think the bigger studios dropped the ball on it. (Not that I don't think Smash did a good job.)
