10 Thoughts Every Guy Had While Watching Fifty Shades Darker

5. "Man, Kim Basinger Really Went Crazy On The Botox."

Since the film's main story isn't all that compelling, you find yourself getting sidetracked by a series of much more interesting minor details.

Chief among these is Kim Basinger - or more specifically, Kim Basinger's look. It's sad that such a talented actress should find herself in such a weak production, but that's not the only thing amiss with her presence.

You remember her as a completely natural stunner from her Bond and Batman days, but now, she looks a little bit like a shiny Barbie doll. She's still looking good, but has sacrificed a lot of that raw beauty in favour of an artificial, youthful sheen.

Although, if Kim Basinger was the one who got Christian Grey hooked on BDSM and seduced him into that lifestyle, we can't say we blame the man for falling under her spell.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
