BOURNE - C/D

This is just the sort of action trash I love, so I'm sure I'll see it despite meh reviews.

I don't know if there'll be another one, but I think I finally got this franchise out of my system, and that longish shot of (redacted)'s corpse gazing into the camera helped me get there.

why didn't they just make another one with whatshisface? that one was pretty good.

u crazy, that movie was competent and interesting but renner was a hole in the middle of it

and i like him generally

Saw this last night. When, early in the film, one hacker instructed another hacker to use SQL to hack a database, I knew I was in for a decidedly dumber Bourne film. And someone actually said 'enhance' re: some surveillance footage. And, lo, it was enhanced!

This was okay but nothing compared to the og trilogy. SWAT van chase was pretty dope.

I just realized that, despite seeing Renner Bourne no more than a couple of months ago, I don't remember one single thing about it. Like, literally nothing.

Enhance!

There, did that help you remember?

same, zero recollection of what happened

You don't remember LARX!

jk I actually totally forgot Edward Norton was in that movie. I do remember the beginning though with Isaacs, the cabin, the wolf.

"You know his name" unintentionally revealing the sole selling point of the film

Whole cabin scene in Renner Bourne a very competent and promising start imo, but after that it all starts to get a bit bland indeed.

it turned into another Flowers for Algernon thing, not sure that was necessary

there's gotta be a tumblr about for lol movie computing right. link me

The analogy I drew for my gf re: the SQL quote was, "Quick, use English to construct that sentence!"

Why isn't that folder labeled "Evil Plans"? "Black Operations" is too subtle. Could mean anything!

I thought it was very considerate of the CIA to keep all of their top secret ops so nicely organized and well-labeled. I'm happy to learn that my tax dollars are paying for such a mindful and competent administrative staff.

I bet their iTunes tags are immaculate too

is Damon nude in this

"matt damon bourne workout" google search did momentarily cross my mind

I was hoping he'd call Tommy Lee Jones and ask him if he liked apples just before blowing him up

xxpost There's roughly fifteen minutes in the middle of the movie that's just a penis waggling in front of the lens but it's unclear whether the penis belongs to Matt Damon or Tommy Lee Jones.

Tommy Lee Jones isn't looking very good nowadays

i bet you clucks haven't even seen the fine western Jones directed a couple years ago

looked [trigger warning] pretentious

so not a Bourne movie

otm except i didnt like the swat car chase scene. dragged on way too long. I lol'd a the SQL reference and when they said enhance. Literally leaned over to my wife and said loudly "ENHANCE" she was mildly amused. This was not worth the price of admission.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is great. No clue wtf it has to do with Bourne.

I presume Morbius was referring to The Homesman but I don't know what it has to do with Bourne either

realized the main thing I like about these is there's no - "the hero must defeat X ... but they're missing one of their powers! / have crippling self-doubt! / are limping!" bourne is mostly full speed ahead. weirdly the first comparison that comes to mind is Jane Austen - "how is Elizabeth Bennett going to respond to _that_??"

p. much anything David Straithairn says.

Man, no memory of this one at all

it's the least bourney but still good to watch

weirdly paul greengrass directs again but i didn't think so from watching

That one has a really bad anti-climactic car chase.

The Renner one gets bad but starts OK out in the wilderness, made me want another good Bourne set in the mountains, Bourne running from cabin to hut to tree stub.

The American is a good stand-in for later/post-canon Bourne.

The Professor (Clive Owen) vs. Bourne scene in the farmhouse in the first film is really subdued godhead action.
