the ads for Bourne Legacy has sucked any excitement I had for the movie right the fuck out. I was ready to see that opening night with the BIG drink. But I need to read reviews now.
I fear the movie sucketh.

I love you,Teppy...
but must remove your entrails until you perish in agony because you don't have THE EXACT SAME TASTE I DO. I mean, how dare you!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Um, except for Beasts of the Southern Wild, which I'm going to try to see this week.
Consuela, I saw that over the weekend and loved it. The little girl who plays the main character is amazing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Bourne series lost me a while ago. The migraine in the theatre due to the camera in the last one reminded me I wasn't enjoying myself as much as I'd liked the books. With the loss of Damon I don't expect the loss of Stiles to be appealing enough.
And I'm spending too much time in the trailers wondering if they changed his genes as an adult or it's a Hanna thing. And if I have time to think of all that, I'm not excited. That and wondering how genetics change the laws of physics.
Which is kinda what I was thinking about the infrastructure of the JT sci fi movie versus that of Panem. If it's distracting me right then, not my cake.
I am getting more and more excited about Total Recall, though. I did watch the second half of the original a month or so ago, and am wondering if it would be interesting to be up on it for Easter eggs. Which reminded me of a comment I read on TDKR, someone saying they were grateful that Nolan avoided the catfight option, where Total Recall clearly couldn't.

Crap, I forgot about the motion sickness.
I probably won't be able to watch the Bourne movie in the theaters. Damn it.
Ah, well, back to my bingeing on Foyle's War...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I liked the first Bourne movie, can't recall a thing about the second and third. I plan to watch Bourne Legacy paying no mind to anything except Renner and the thrilling physics-defying action sequences. I'm sure the movie will have a bit of a plot and a girl, but I don't care.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I enjoyed the previous Bourne movies well enough to see them in the theater but not so much that I had to buy the DVDs. TNT ran a Bourne marathon a week or so ago that I had on in the background. I liked the movies for the scenery and the fight scenes, and I mentally pasted over the main plot arc with "big eeeeeeevil goverment conspiracy thingy" 10 minutes after the credits ran. So the possible mitachlorination of the Bourne mythos suggested by the trailers probably won't bother me much. And I find Renner attractive, so I'll probably see it in the theater the first week it's out.
