Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Saw The Bourne Legacy: Jeremy Renner's Arms. Good movie, enjoyed it. Also, the way to make it look like a staggering work of freaking genius? See it after The Expendables 2.

The most disturbing thing about The Expendables was probably the amount of plastic surgery on that screen. Chuck Norris literally looks like rubber now.

It was bad enough with Stallone and Lundgren and Schwarzenegger on the screen.

Jason Statham and Jet Li have about fifty times more charisma than the rest of them.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The Bourne Legacy: Jeremy Renner's Arms.

I was disturbed at the close up shots of his arms during the blood draw scenes, not because of the arms (because helloooo) but they were doing it wrong. I mean, all those lovely veins, and they just stuck the needle in at the wrong angle to the crook of the elbow. Bah.

I did think Renner and Weisz had nice chemistry together. My favourite part of the movie was the Flowers for Algernon plot. A nice unexpected characterization point, and Renner acted that flashback scene beautifully. I hope there is fic.

I was surprised The Expendables made enough money to warrant a sequel, but I guess it pulls from a lot of different audiences with the cast's age range? I didn't even see the first one -- Stallone's face is too weird now.

Vonnie, what about the other medical stuff in Bourne: Jeremy Renner? Was it all total bullshit?

Well, viral vector is often used for gene therapy. But aside from that, the whole blue pill / red pill thing and the concept of "viralling" to lock in the enhancement seems like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. I don't know enough about that particular field so I was happy to handwave the whole thing.
