the only redeeming quality was my friend who worked at the theater let us in the side door and we had a couple sixers of mickey's big mouth. if I had paid my hard earned teenage dollars to see it I would have been super mad

i was thinking there was some plot point that could secretly tie in to the matrix or something and i completely forgot about it because it'd been so long since i'd seen it. thanks for explaining.

not really

Atomic Blonde has more in common with Man From U.N.C.L.E


When I saw that tweet I immediately envisioned a remake of Die Hard 1 with Theron instead of Willis and just about everything else being the same.

I seem to remember it being a bit confusing for the first half or third but the picking up. never got round to reading the 3rd one actually.


also yes "revenger" is a terrible title for a book I don't know wtf Reynolds was thinking

Read House of Suns if you haven't. It's his best book, IMO.

I actually think Chasm City might be his best even if it really could have done with cutting down a bit and had a bit too much stuff thrown in. House of Suns was good though.

edit: actually maybe I prefer the one after chasm City with the triumvir

I definitely do not recommend the series with the talking elephants, there were some good ideas in it but the characters were uniformly irritating, including the elephants

i've read everything he's written except for revenger.

i wasn't a huge fan of the poseidon's children series either. the more recent prefect dreyfus books set in the glitter belt were probably the most fun of all of them imo

I feel this way about Alan Moore's Jerusalem. I found a hard copy at a thrift store a couple of years ago and it literally weighs as much as a brick.
