Well, it happened. It came, we saw, and then we came just thinking about it. The sensation that started in 2011 finally made its way to the big screen, and it was really, really, uh, something.
A big, giant, money-making something. That’s right. Unless you’ve been living under a rock that lacks cell reception, you know that the Fifty Shades of Grey film was finally released. After being pushed back four months, it was thrust upon society with record-breaking stamina. In just three days, it generated more than $81.7 million in sales. Yeah, that’s a shit-ton of money for a film about chains, whips, and BDSM. It is the fourth most financially beneficial R-rated release in the history of cinema, and it beat our old V-Day favorite, Valentine’s Day, by $25.4 million.
So, what’s the big deal? A rich guy has kinky sex with an average-looking girl. The end. Well, sort of. Sure, there’s some romance mixed in with some deep psychological shit. Naturally, there’s a ton of nudity and even a glimpse of some male pubes. *Sigh* — every girl’s dream. But really, whether you read the books or not, you’re wondering if it’s worth your time, money, and sexual fantasies. I took it upon myself to see the movie to help you determine if your $10 would be better spent elsewhere (i.e. on booze). Here are sixty-nine (you’re welcome, pervs) thoughts you’ll have while watching Fifty Shades of Twilight. Or, whatever.
- Well, this is going to be awkward.
- I’m so glad I didn’t bring a boy to this.
- I literally feel bad for every single guy who’s here.
- Poor, unfortunate bastards. At least they’ll get laid after this.
- I should have brought some wine.
- Maybe I should buy some? Or, like, popcorn?
- No. Fuck. If I get horny, I don’t want to be bloated afterward.
- Dammit. Fine. I’ll just drink water like a fucking animal.
- Opening with “I Put A Spell On You” makes me feel like a kid watching Hocus Pocus.
- Except I’m an adult, and I’m basically watching porn.
- This Christian Grey actor isn’t even that hot.
- I mean, he’s hot, but not, like, “lose my virginity and my dignity for him” hot.
- Maybe if he didn’t shave his beard.
- I’d sit on that bearded face all day, every day.
- This girl is so much better than that guy who played Bella in Twilight.
- Kristen Stewart? Yeah, that guy. It was like watching a piece of plywood act.
- THE ELEVATOR. HOLY SHIT, CAN I BE IN THE ELEVATOR? HOLD — HOLD — I’M COMING IN.
- At least this Anastasia girl is funny. Good for you, sexually-obsessed virgin.
- Her drunk phone call is so on point, I literally can’t even.
- “I told him.” Yaaas bitch. Yaaas.
- Wait. Wait. WAIT. Did you see the way he bit the toast?!
- DID YOU SEE HIM WITH THE TOAST?
- I want to be that piece of toast.
- Holy fuck. I take everything back. Beard or no beard, he’s a man-god.
- Alright, everyone just hold on for a second. No one, and I mean no one orgasms like that her first time. Ana, come on.
- Your first time is reserved for bleeding, being self-conscious, and crying into your high school boyfriend’s sheets.
- I call shenanigans on that, Miss Steele.
- I wonder if her parents watched this.
- That would be so horrible. And I thought being Facebook friends with my parents was bad.
- Okay, so he took her virginity and now he’s just like, “Sign this paper to become my literal slave or, like, peace, bitch.”
- Boys fucking suck.
- Actually, to be honest, I kind of wish we had contracts in relationships.
- Like, “No cheating. No texting other girls. Give me all of your money.”
- Oh. Wait. That’s marriage. LOL, JK.
- Thanks for reminding me that I’ll die alone, Christian Grey.
- He’s wearing the same tie that he tied her up with to her graduation?
- Did he wash it? Do guys even wash ties? That’s actually really disgusting. They sweat all day and then just never wash them?
- I mean, granted, we wear the same bra, like, every day, but still.
- Oh, cool. And now they’re boyfriend and girlfriend.
- What’s next? FBO?
- This is not how things work, Anastasia.
- OOOOKAY. What’s with the bush? Cool girl Kate would never let her bestie walk around with an ’80s-style porn bush between her legs. Totally unrealistic.
- Also, the flip phone. He can buy her a new Audi, but she’s still walking around with some “buy one, get one free” cellular device like a fucking plebian?
- Even though these actors don’t actually have much chemistry, I’m totally getting some tingles. You know, down below.
- Maybe I should have brought a boy to this…
- I mean, it kind of feels like I’m just watching porn.
- You know, minus the money shots. #blessed
- It’s like watching a better, sexier version of Twilight.
- When do the stripper-werewolves show up?
- Okay, wait. He won’t sleep in the same bed as her?
- He comes over, UNINVITED, fucks her, and now he’s just leaving?
- Who does that?
- Oh. Every college guy in the entire world.
- And now he’s going to go hang out with his skanky ex?
- “Just friends” my ass. If there was penetration, you CANNOT be pals.
- Ugh. Thanks a lot, guys. Look at what you do to us! She’s so sad.
- And now he’s spanking her with a belt. Because she’s sad. That makes total sense.
- SHE’S CRYING. WHY AREN’T YOU STOPPING?
- Wow, shit just got real. Like, scary, intense real.
- Wasn’t expecting that at all.
- Wait, the elevator? Again? DON’T GET IN THE ELEVATOR.
- THAT’S THE END? JUST LIKE THAT?
- No. NO. More. I want more.
- I literally don’t know what to do with my body.
- And they totally cut the bathtub scene! And the Ben Wa balls! This is bullshit.
- I paid $10 to try to figure out how those sex balls work.
- Whatever, considering how things ended up between Mr. Grey and Miss Steele, I think I’ll stick with my regular bedroom routine.
- And by that, I mean going to bed alone with some ice cream and my one true love, Netflix.
- Besides, if anyone ever said “laters, baby” to me, I’d immediately swipe left, no matter how many expensive gray ties he owns.
So, is it worth the $81.7 million in hype? Eh. I don’t know. My advice? Wait until it comes out on DVD so you can watch it at home with the two best Fifty Shades companions: wine and a vibrator..
