If my film dollar is trapping even a single reviewer in an endless nightmare hell not even the best Marvel movie is going to coax me into a theater. Thanks, The Onion!

Total barfarama! This series of films are down right disgusting and the stuff of prepubescent wet dreams.

Triggered.

As I understand it, this is a movie series that tells the story of a relationship between a billionaire and a naive young woman based on conspicuous consumption and an adolescent’s idea of kink and adult partnerships, with the lead characters portrayed by actors whose barely-concealed mutual loathing in real life destroys whatever on-screen chemistry is hoped for. I submit that this is the perfect movie series for our times, and that this reviewer is not the only American to suspect he’s died and gone to hell.

I suspect you’ve made it sound more interesting that it actually is.

There seems to be some consensus that E.L. James just googled, “Kink”. Which actually is unfair: she probably got it from watching porn. Googling it would have given her a better view of the topic.

Yet the review was high art. Never mind the movies.

And yet I would go see the worst movie for just that reason.

That guy’s a good actor!
It all took too long, though. Who’s got five whole minutes for anything from The Onion?!

Kind of a darker take on the Mystery Science Theater 3000 premise.
I like how he resumes the review as normal following his mind-melting.

Look, I get it that the movie is bad. The filmmakers should stop doing this. I understand The Onion is trying to make a statement about moral vacuity here, truly I get it.
Making a joke of someone blowing their brains out while being live-streamed- yeah, that’s really not OK.
