Of course the sex, nudity and BDSM themes of the new Fifty Shades of Grey movie are getting all of the headlines – to the point that the Internet is littered with “here are all the sexy parts of the movie” sprawled out in listicle form. But what people seem to be missing is that even Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) still have some mundane moments in their otherwise dominant and submissive lives. Here’s every mundane moment in Fifty Shades of Grey. (Warning: Possible mundane spoilers.)
