EDITOR’S LETTER
O ne of the interesting things about the huge success of the Fifty
Shades of Grey novels was that eBook sales vastly
outnumbered the traditional print version – the theory was that
many people didn’t want to be seen reading an S&M novel so they opted
for the anonymity of a digital version. So if you were wary about going to
the cinema to see the blockbuster movie version, now’s your chance to
watch it in the safety of your own home. Not that you should feel
embarrassed about buying it anyway – let’s face it, it’s more 9 ½ Weeks
than Story of O – but if you are, you can always hide it amongst some of
this year’s Oscar winners: Birdman, The Theory of Everything and Still
Alice are all out in June, and are featured alongside Fifty Shades of Grey
in this month’s STACK. Elsewhere in your essential home entertainment
guide, we profile rising star Chris Pratt, explore the Batman Arkham video
game trilogy, and chat to Brit popster Florence +The Machine. And
closer to home, we also talk to TheWarratahs and Cairo Knife Fight,
plus one of the Weta Workshop wizards behind Chappie.
