There's a new Bourne film coming apparently; one which does not feature Bourne. Which you would imagine is a pretty shit idea.
Executive Decision is bloody aces.

Yeah, it's fun. As well as being a slow-mo Michael Bay wankfest swimming in sentimentality.

I like them both. In the same way I like both Godot and Stott.

I enjoy the Bond films, but with the exception of Casino Royale, they're probably too camp with their cartoon villains and gadgets to be considered great action films. And Casino Royale worked because they took the Bourne template and applied it to Bond.

But in the film it was done with a satirical wink.
Duh well I know that! In as much as the whole bloody film has a satirical wink
