You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
O lord I hope the rumors of a Joust feature film have been greatly exaggerated. Yes I mean the video game with the ostriches.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I think that Tetris could make a great Koyaanisqatsi-like flick.

Cocaine is still big in the movie business, then.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Finally saw the Bourne Ultimatum, and I'm still unsure what I thought of it, thanks to the a**holes who were my movie-going companions who snickered and whispered throughout the entire viewing. Now all my emotional reaction is tied up in hating their f*cking guts being very annoyed with them for being so rude, during and after.
I will agree that the camera-work was too blurry (not nauseating, but incredibly hard to track on for long periods), and I did laugh out loud when Bourne walked away from what was otherwise an incredibly awesome car crash on the Jersey barrier.
And in the end, I realized that Jason Bourne was Wolverine, and couldn't help but snerk.
I'm not sure that I like that Julia Stiles' character was suddenly implied to be the original Marie, the original love of Bourne's top secret life. I got the cues and the clues, and having seen the first and second movies recently, it didn't track. And I thought it was an insult to Marie herself. But, I guess, if there wasn't that, then what reason would Parson's have to help Bourne?
Also, I hated that Moby song in the first movie, and have increased my hate for it through the second and third movies.
I think, like Pitch Black, I will treat The Bourne Identity as the one and only movie and disregard all following pretenders.

Why did you put up with their behavior, Juliebird? (if you don't mind my asking)
