10 Thoughts Every Guy Had While Watching Fifty Shades Darker
8. "Nice To Know You Can Buy A Woman's Affections."
Your thoughts drip with sarcasm as a once-reluctant Ana quickly resumes her relationship with billionaire Christian Grey, right after he buys her a MacBook and a brand-new iPhone.
Fifty Shades Darker is bad enough as it is without factoring in the poor messages it sends out to young women, and this is one of them.
You stare in disbelief as their relationship goes from zero to sixty in literally five minutes, after Ana unwraps her pricey 'relationship blackmail' and Christian stalks her like a creepy serial killer.
You imagine what exactly the millions of impressionable young women watching this will take away from it. Fifty Shades Darker is that rare example of a movie that would probably be better if it were a banal, predictable rom-com - at least then the foundation of the central relationship would be based on positive emotions.
