Did anyone ask Polanski for his blessing? I’d hate for him to feel like he’s been violated.

2:1 odds that there’s a scene where someone almost cuts his nose with a knife (by accident) and he makes an on-the-nose (haaaaa) remark about it.

Young Jake Gittes: “I can say with complete confidence that no one will ever cut my nose open with a knife.”

Atomic Blonde made $18m in just the US.  $27m for Charlies Angels is worldwide.

Atomic Blonde made $100M in three months and Charlie’s Angels has comparatively only made $27M in three days.

Let’s also remember what comes out in theaters this week, which will likely destroy any momentum Charlie’s Angel had.

...audiences care more about if a movie is good than if it is woke. People don’t care about your poorly made, trash reboot....even if it *gasp* has women in it!

Also, the continual comics presence of Spiderman maintaining his relevance.

Reminds me of Gillibrand trying to insist that she was losing to Warren because she’s a woman.

Yeah all but the third one was better than any of Charley’s Angels movies I’ve seen or the show.

The trailers made it seem like it was forcibly “for women” rather than being a good movie with women in it. It looked bad in every respect—awful music choices, unfunny retorts, bad action, unclear plot. In contrast, take Atomic Blonde, which has a kick-ass female protagonist that didn’t need to constantly remind us of…

not really though.

shoulda called a bunch of people sexist instead. it’s the same type of intellectually dishonest excuse for a bad movie, but one more likely to get you support from the worst people and their money.

Was Charlie’s Angels ever really for women though? I thought the whole point was that it was super male gazey. (This is a genuine question; I’m too young to have seen the show.)

How the fuck is Blade Runner: 2049 not on this list? It’s probably the best world building sequel that doesn’t ruin the original film. The rest of this list is good though

Can we have, like, ONE fucking thing that we don’t drag this orange fuckbag into? Literally just one thing?

Four Marvel movies in one year definitely feels like too much. The last three years we’ve had three per year, and that already felt like it was pushing it.

How long until we're at marvel burnout? I was very happy with the two or three marvel movies a year before endgame but now I'm kinda getting bored with it all.

Heterosexual horndog is a bit of an acting stretch for the Travolta.

Hillary should be played by Rebecca De Mornay (as every fan of Karl Pilkington will know).
