From Mohicans, I remember:
"Stay alive...whatever occurs...I WILL come for you."

There's a LotM cult here where much of it was filmed. They have a con every year. Are you surprised? The privately owned park which is the river gorge where Magua's troop walked single file along the cliff face, where Alice and Uncas fell, the waterfall where Chingachgook and Magua fought, and the site on the gorge rim where the Sachem's camp was is up for sale, as the private landowner can no longer care for the park.

The park museum has one of Cora's dresses, her straw hat, a buckskin suit of Nathaniel's, and one of Chingachgook's war clubs, held together with a bunch of those little crack-spanning things you get at Home Depot and nail into either side of the crack, spray-painted blue.

This, despite Dawson's Creek being filmed here for like, forever. We loves us our LotM here in NC.

Also, I mean, although both Bourne movies had incomprehensible plots

Really? I got them, and I never get spy movies without help from Stephen. I thought the first Mission Impossible was incomprehensible, but I followed both Bourne movies really easily.

I mean incomprehensible from the reality standpoint. Like, in the second movie, why send Russian McHottie to kill Bourne? Aside from just wanting to see him in linen? If they hadn't sent him at all, Bourne could be frolicking on an unknown beach even to this day, completely ignorant of the fact that half the western world wanted him for one more murder. And if the wstern world found him and tried to arrest him for said murder, what would he do? Tell them they're a bunch of lying liars and disappear to someplace else, right? The whole movie hinges on the bad guys pissing him off. If they hadn't bothered to piss him off, the movie wouldn't have happened and the bad guys would be in charge even now.

Also, I mean, if you can afford the work it takes to find Bourne, then you can afford an assassin who can actually check to make sure he's really dead.

Got it. I agree -- they're completely implausible, but then so are most spy movies. Incomprehensible meant to me that you didn't follow the plot, not that you didn't buy it.

I suppose I don't buy it, either, but there's pretty men, and I remind myself that I don't have any idea what's actually possible in the world of espionage, so it's all good.

To me, Matt Damon will always be...

I haven't seen Mohicans in a dog's age, so I have no real opinion on DDL's running. I will note, however, that he is an extremely graceful man and a thorough actor, so I'm sure the running is properly hunter-like.

To me, Matt Damon will always be...

I voted for Loki

The defining Matt Damon role for me would be the first several minutes of Eurotrip.

I don't think he was even in the credits, but it's what made me a Damon fan.

There are many cool bits in the first movie's action scenes that you can refer to: magazine attack! Pen in the hand! Driving down stairs! Narrow alley employ! In the second there are no such distinguishable elements.

I mostly agree with you -- the first movie is much better and has many more Cool Bits -- but the awesome magazine fight (followed by exploding house!) is in the second movie.
