I was only familiar with one tiny corner of the gaming world, but I was completely and utterly immersed in it. Every Saturday morning I’d wake up before sunrise and quietly race to the living room. I wanted guaranteed access to ...…

…W hen “The Kissing Booth 3” came out last year, it became the perfect finale to a horribly- reviewed trilogy, with clips such as this one going viral for how painful they were to watch.
