That's right, I said it.

    hell yeah. i celebrate the entire bourne collection, including the jeremy renner spin off. there's something so elegant about how threatened the calculating NatSec puppetmasters are by one of their own tightly-wound, manufactured and monomaniacal enforcers rediscovering a lost humanity... and like, not even trying to Fight the Power, but just survive quietly outside their control.

    i really enjoyed Legacy, the linkages with private sector pharmaceuticals, the predatory nature of the army in recruiting the intellectually disabled Kitsom and then later being inducted into the program after a TBI in iraq, all those little details that show how deeply connected and evil it all is. i hope they make more of them.

      I haven't seen the renner spinoff but I'll give it a shot. I love my big dumb damon boy but I can try a movie staring a guy with a face who looks like a 5 hour old baby still reeling from being pushed out a far too small canal.

      I need to rewatch the bourne movies again. I have a terrible memory for movie details, which is a blessing and a curse. I can't talk about movies or books in great detail but rewatching it still feels novel because I don't remember any of it. I have a talent for predicting what will happen in movies extremely early but that never works with movies I've seen oddly enough. I've seen the prestige probably 3 times and in my most recent watch, I remembered every scene as I watched it but did not remember the ending.
