I loved the Bourne chase outside Gare du Nord because I could fantasize about him running down the bag lady that accosted us on our trip to Paris.
I love that scene because it reminded me of Diva.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had the Cloverfield trailer before Transformers. Completely blanked it from my mind, though. I think the city destruction scenes from the latter overlaid it.
Now, if we're talking irritating filming styles then unsteadicam is right up there on the list for me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I may have mentioned before but my favorite part of the first Bourne movie was when he removes the fire escape map of the building from the embassy wall. *That* was clever and got my attention.

Because books.
I loved both of the Bourne movies, and I can't wait for the third one. The camerawork didn't bother me at all, and I didn't read the books, so I have no idea how much stuff got cut for the scripts.

I'm really looking forward to the third. Damon is a fantastic action star.

(I am sure people will chime in with similarities between the books and movies, but you get the idea. They are only loosely related.)

Nah, pretty much what bon said. I always liked the books, and I've liked both movies, but they're just different animals.

Heh.
Again, I have no idea if Damon fit the part as written in the novels, but he worked beautifully for me as Bourne. He's got that slightly military look, he's in perfect shape, not alarmingly gorgeous (in terms of being able to look different as needed), and really able to get across his conflict when he has to look at his life and vocation from a new perspective.

Wait--isn't she Canadian in the books? I know they end up in Montreal, and I thought that was why.
