Atomic Blonde

[Lianachan]

Watching this on Netflix just now. It’s decent, but mentioning it as it has things that I know are popular here - rainy Berlin, spies, Cold War intrigue, a Scottish actor, contrived plots involving looking for stolen lists, (pretty brutal) fisticuffs, flipping cars, boobs, Charlize Theron in the nude and doing lesbian scenes, etc.

ETA - a shout out to the great 80’s soundtrack, too.

I liked the fact that as they beat the hell out of each other, they got tired, they got sore, they slowed down. Granted, they popped back up again, but the fact that the fights were physically taxing on the characters was a nice touch.

[Lianachan]

Yeah, wife and I mentioned that. Not often seen in films.

Duly noted, I’ll catch it this week. I had fancied it but not had the chance to see it.

We watched a film last weekend where someone was shot and seemed to heal himself in about an hour.

Medical dudes will do that for ya.

[Heid the Ba]

No need for medical dudes, he just ignored it and it went away.

[Blue Monster 65]

Yeah, that's pretty much how I do it.

Watched this on Saturday, oh it is nonsense, but the good kind of nonsense.

Agreed!

Theron is not hard to watch.
Even in The Defenestration of Mad Max.
