On the surface, Fifty Shades of Grey is a fairly tame and boring movie about two very frightened actors who get undressed and tentatively tickle each other with floggers, but something about the film (or maybe its source material) has caused audiences to go fully insane. Here is a timeline of their bacchanalian behavior.
February 12, 2015
Eight perverts (labeled as such for reasons not pertaining to the movie) go to see an early Fifty Shades screening.
February 14, 2015
Teens, enraged at being denied entry into the movie, mob a cinema—and the adjoining mall food court—in Ocoee, Florida. Following the uprising, the theater implements a new rule requiring any teenager who wants to see a movie after 9 p.m. to bring an adult chaperone.
The New York Times reports:
The policy was implemented after 100 teens rushed a movie theater Saturday night after they were denied tickets to see “Fifty Shades of Grey,” which is rated R and requires the viewer to be accompanied by a parent if they are under age 17.
Damn the man.
February 14, 2015, again.
On the same evening across the pond, three women are arrested for physically assaulting a dude who asks them to be quiet during a Fifty Shades screening in Glasgow.
“Cinema visitors also claimed the man had been glassed and that staff were forced to wipe blood from seats before the next screening of the film,” the Telegraph reports. “But police have dismissed suggestions that glass was used in the assault.”
A witness counters, “We heard that a guy had asked women to quieten down because they were spoiling the film and one of them hit him with a bottle.”
Of the same evening: “There were… several incredibly drunk women vomiting in the aisle and corridor and several complaints from the other screen about drunk and rowdy folk.”
