They’re rebooting Charlie’s Angels. It’s weird that we’re at the point where studios are cycling back to the same weird and tired properties that no one asked for the first (second) time. It’s like they got sick of the stories about how any good spy script would inevitably get grafted into the Bond franchise and just decided “Fuck it, let’s call it what it is.” Do we need more Charlie’s Angels? Do we need more movies that are gonna cost millions and millions of dollars that’ll then open to horrible reviews and an indifferent audience? That thing’s gonna open in February because, all Deadpools aside, it’s still the only time of year (outside of August, strangely) when they can sneak the stinkers past us and won’t catch too much shit for it.
