I think Buffalo 66 was one of the most boring movies in existence. I don't even remember the ending.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
OK! Back to netflix it goes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this explains a lot about Bourne Ultimatum, yet not enough.
Upthread I said:
Oddly enough parts of the movie felt very familiar--other than the obvious following on from #2--the scene where he talks to her while looking at her from the building across the street seemed so familiar to me that I was confused whether there'd been a similar scene in the previous movies, or if I had recast that bit of the book so strongly.
I need it spelled out more clearly for me, though. Maybe imdb.com can help.

Hey. New board.
I just watched Dancer in the Dark.
It was very haunting. Very good. But when Björk says "I like to pretend I'm in a musical, because nothing dreadful ever happens in musicals" I was forced to scream at the screen "EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE!"
I need something silly now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, it's the same scene in both movies-- Joan Allen is wearing the same shirt (though there are some differences; I think in the prior movie Bourne was using a scope. But that was a continuity error.). This means parts of Ultimatum take place before the end of Supremacy, basically.

Yeah--a commenter on John's blog said:
The first... say... 2/3? of The Bourne Ultimatum actually takes place - temporally speaking - during the last (rough guess) 15 minutes of The Bourne Supremacy.
I just need a more granular breakdown.

I fell asleep watching Buffalo '66. I wasn't digging it. Is there any reason why I should go back and watch the ending?
Well, there's always the chance that watching it means you'll be the one to snap and put an end to Vincent Gallo's filmmaking career...

I'm not sure the Bourne thing gets one anywhere. It's a neat trick, but then what? I'm going to see the movie again in a few weeks when Bob comes home, maybe I'll figure it out then.

For some reason I thought Buffalo '66 originated as a Steppenwolf play. If this is typical of Gallo's work I guess I can knock Brown Bunny off the queue too.
