“No crying at Fox.”
It is rather precious that a story about women being sexually harassed and demoralized in the workplace is being told by a couple of men. (cut to: major eyeroll)

Look, I have no idea how to get into how over-the-top ridiculous the entire premise of this movie is without diving into spoiler territory. It’s frankly blowing my mind even now that Tully of all fucking things ended up requiring a spoiler warning, but here we are. Don’t ever let anyone tell you we don’t live in interesting times.

I should probably preface this review by admitting I knew I was going to love Atomic Blonde before I actually saw it; once you get to a certain point, after you've watched so many films, you start to get a good idea of what you're into, what kind of cast you look for, the telltale hints of stylistic choices you prefer. My success rate calling my like or dislike of a film is probably around 85% at this point. David Leitch, who directed the film, was one half of the former stuntman duo that conceived the original John Wick, a film that exceeded my expectations (and, it seems, pretty much everyone else's) in every conceivable way. Atomic Blonde is one part Wick, one part Bond, one part 80's action genre film, one part, I dunno, love letter to nostalgia? Love letter to Charlize Theron's presence on Earth? Love letter to neon and New Wave? All of the above. And love it I did.

Lots of weird news this week. A lot of it some background bullshit about casting rumors, schedules, release dates... and Star Wars. But the thing at the top of my list this week is a piece that we see pop up every six months or so: The Dark Tower. Now, this project has been around for years, most notably as some kind of dumb Frankenstein Ron Howard crap where he wanted to release a movie, then a season of tv, then a movie, etc., etc. Who cares? Anybody? Is this even a story that needs to be told? With Stephen King's page-to-screen track record, I am legit surprised we're still moving forward on this thing in any capacity at all..
