Listen, there are a lot of reasons why you might want to see the Fifty Shades Of Grey followup Fifty Shades Darker. Maybe you’re into bondage, or costume balls, or ‘90s erotic thrillers, or young women standing in front of massive photographs of themselves. (Kinky.) Maybe stilted line readings and minimalist interior design turn you on, or maybe you’re simply a confused graphic designer who thought this was a documentary about Vantablack. We’re not here to judge.
What we are here to do is offer Chicago residents the opportunity to see Fifty Shades Darker early and for free. We’re giving away 40 pairs of tickets for an advance screening of the film on Wednesday, February 8 at 7 p.m. at the Kerasotes Showplace ICON, a theater that got pretty lively when we saw Fifty Shades Of Grey there two years ago. The curious can enter a new sensual realm of erotic submission and Google forms by following this link. Remember: Advance screenings are often intentionally overbooked, so be sure to arrive early if you want to secure a seat—if you’re into that kind of thing.
