I like what they're saying about Batman Begins -- because yes! Batman does not have superpowers. Catwoman is NOT part cat etc.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I love the MacGuyver aspect as well-- a nice tight way of showing how well-trained he is. In the first movie, where someone might lift a fire extinguisher, he took the emergency map of the building off the wall of the embassy. I'd never seen that before, and it was neat.
I also liked the way Franka Potente floated away. Since the movie was so grittily grounded the rest of the time, it stood out as something unreal.
Also, you were always following Bourne-- you could never see ahead to what he would do. It was tense.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Damn. Now I really want to see it. I mean, I kind of wanted to anyway, cause I liked the first one well enough, but you guys are making it sound really awesome.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Saw Bourne Supremacy. Want a 50-year ban on all use of hand-held cameras in non-documentary movies.
A friend of mine went to see it and hated it for much the same reasons. Have not seen it yet, myself. I haven't even seen the first one, yet.

Oh, speaking of grittily filmed spy movies, what are people's thoughts on Spy Game ? I thought it was pretty cool. Things blew up, there was some spy action, it was nice.

If I only had a brain...
I finally saw Starsky and Hutch. Nice way to while away a summer evening. I am reluctantly accepting my Owen Wilson crush.

I liked it a lot, but I like Brad Pitt. Mostly I liked Spy Game for Robert Redford, though. He's so good, so natural with his acting in everything he does, and Spy Game was no exception.

Listen to his commentary on Rushmore and succomb completely.

Heh. So do I. It was less action-packed than I expected, but it was something different, which was nice. And non-linear narratives are always a good time, unless you're 21 Grams.

I enjoyed Spy Game quite a lot. I remember not really being interested in seeing it but went out of a lack of anything better to do and being glad I did. I've rewatched it a couple times on cable since.
