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.
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.
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.
but the awesome magazine fight (followed by exploding house!) is in the second movie.
Figures - 'cuz he already stabbed somebody with a pen in the first one.
In the third one, he'll dispatch somebody with a tape dispenser.
I'm going to go practice my tape fu right now.
So, Matt, guess what? According to J.J., the Ethan Haas sites aren't connected to Cloverfield. So we have no blinkin' clue what they are.
Slusho, however, is in-game. In the trailer, you can see a guy wearing a Slusho shirt, even.
