Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I rented the orginal Bourne Identity, with Richard Chamberlain. Man, I only previewed the first five minutes, but I think some tequila and chasers and it'll be a fun evening:

When Bourne's shot off the ship in the beginning, he falls straight to the bottom of the ocean.

This is gonna be good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In the Chamberlain version, Jason Bourne is a cyborg?

Finally finished watching La Meglio gioventù ( The Best of Youth ) this weekend. Although long (it was originally a 6-hour miniseries on Italian TV), I highly recommended it. It follows an Italian family (primarily two brothers) from the 1960s to 2003. The drama really picks up in the second half, and throughout you gets loads of Italian history as a backdrop. Plus, pretty pretty people.

I hope he doesn't get rusty down there.

If Richard Chamberlain is playing him, I'd say wood rot is the likelier risk.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I knew nothing about Ironman, but I just saw a trailer for it on the tv. It looks motherflippin' awesome. Downey Jr. rules in it.

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

The character's one of the few alcoholic superheroes, but they don't dwell on that in this movie. Still, there is an alcohol shot right there in the trailer.

He's in interesting character in that he's flip and brusque and not like Spidey or Supes or Bats or Wolvie.

Hell, his most obvious nick sounds like irony.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Downey Jr. rules in it.

He does. I find him incredibly entertaining and compelling in the trailer.

I'd muster a lot more enthusiasm for the movie if the writers of Civil War hadn't just turned Tony into a self-righteous fascist responsible for atrocities against some of his closest friends.
