Atomic Blonde

I recorded it tonight, but watching baseball. I'm not real excited to see it, but gonna check it out.

I was expecting it to be more over the top than it was. They kept it somewhat believable. Although it is difficult to imagine a woman getting pounded by men 120 pounds heavier than her and watching her bounce back up. A few of those hits should have put her to sleep.

Just saw, a lot of fun. Charlize is ice fricking cold.

So unnecessarily complex. They were trying way too hard.

this is true as well.


wasnt a big fan. of the 2 John Wick co-directors, it's clear that the better one stayed on with Wick 2. the script for this was atrocious. all the tropey twists and turns fooled no one.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this flick more than either of the Wick movies, but then again I was in college taking German History: 20th Century the semester the Wall came down. 3rd semester of German too, taught by a very pretty young Deutche mädchen, who also taught Russian, and spoke English without an accent.

I had most of the music on vinyl or tape at the time (the music was actually a couple years older than the movie was set). Loved ATF's Der Kommissar at the time, that brought a lot of good memories back.

Did a little pistol watching, too. I like the firearms of that era, and recognized a lot of pistols that I own. Like, every one in the film.

So, to me, the John Wick films are just Keanu action flicks, while this movie had a lot of nostalgia for me.

Sounds like she was an undercover, triple agent.

I liked the movie. I was really impressed with the fight scenes. Bc they made her get her arse kicked and she had to use things to help plus her first shot was usually to take out a knee or to the nuts. I also liked how they got tired while fighting.
