if you need any more reasons for watching atomic blonde than charlize theron having a love affair with sofia boutella in 1989 berlin while gorgeous neon and icy blue-black-white cinematography illuminates the political uproar and tension of not only the time of east and west germany but also the spy activity and underground punk scene, then let me convince you by saying that this movie has the balls to include nena’s 99 red balloons, queen’s and david bowie’s under pressure, falco’s der kommissar in an awesome cover and goddamn major tom by peter schilling, and that should tell you what a fucking power move this masterpiece is

Gardener being asked about his dark past while digging through his flower beds: You really do not wish to open that can of oh worm?

The world is wicked anyways, so why aren’t you too?

Happy new one and a rise

Of glass and hope to the run

Of twelve wilder, dream-full moons

That bring word: our time has come

Education, learned skills and books will never leave you, lose their patience or stab you behind your old high school on a blue winter night with the pencil you once lost and never found again.

The new year will be the year of walking into fairy circles, smiling at glowing red eyes in corn fields, leaving flower crowns on gravestones, befriending every eerily unblinking cat and generally exposing yourself to every slightly surreal seeming phenomenon because we have nothing to lose and eldritch beings to gain as friends.

Here, please be warm and alright and enjoy this if only a little.

say basta to self-hate, eat pasta and turn your fate.

You learn so much about someone just by listening to how and what they sing to themselves when they think nobody hears.

And don’t forget:

Your own cruelty bleeds you dry when you bring it against yourself, and it multiplies when you raise it against others; your own kindness exponentiates even when you subject only yourself to it, and reaches beyond where you even care to look.
