I actually have never read Stewart's books, but I'd agree that the Colbert ones are good-not-great.

Ugh. I just don't get that. The first one is a great movie, but I haven't met very many people that don't prefer the second two. They're the reason the series is popular. The first one was mildly successful—enough to warrant a sequel. Greengrass's style is what made Bourne become more of an icon than Bond for a time.…

I think it's fair to say The Matrix set the trend for awhile, but after 2004 you saw most action movies going the Bourne route. How many Matrix-style movies do you see nowadays? Very few. There's still a lot of Bourne-like action movies crowding the theaters.

People say "shakycam" as if it's automatically bad no matter what. It's not. The style is exactly why Bourne became so popular. Greengrass did a good job of establishing the environment and creating context for the action, so that when people started fighting you could actually understand what was happening. Most…

That movie didn't have that much shaky-cam though, did it?
And in any case, Supremacy/Ultimatum were cultural phenomenons. The Transporter was…The Transporter. Bourne-like is common movie shorthand now.

The first one has aged the least-well out of all of them, mostly because it was a different director who didn't capture the action particularly well.
But I actually thought the Renner one was pretty awesome, and believe me, I wanted to hate it.

We Are Your Disciples.

Is it safe to call The Bourne Supremacy the most influential action movie of the past 20 years? Greengrass' style in that movie has been ripped off ad nausem; "shaky-cam" wasn't even really a thing before that movie. Now, nearly every single action movie uses it. It even sparked Bond to change. (The difference of…

Kanye, Kanye, Kanye. I knew I was gonna see you again! Where's your goddamn book bag at? Always carryin' that lil' book bag.
Nobody wanna see that!
Goddamn fourth grader, sit yo' ass down.
You wanna play it again like he got somethin' else to do.
You ain't got nothin' else to do!
You ain't doin' nothin' with yo' life,…

That has to be one of the most watchable movies ever. And yeah…Hemmingway has brilliant lines in that one.

Yeah, same. Even in movies he's in that I like, he's typically my least-favorite part. Maybe that's why I like him more when he plays the asshole (Zoolander, Meet the Parents).

My favorite Owen Wilson role is the obnoxiously perfect Christian ex-boyfriend in Meet the Parents.

It's on the complete other end of the game spectrum, but I feel this was the case for a lot of Nintendo's first party games for Wii. Wii Music, in particular, was a pretty brilliant little game that accomplished exactly what it set out to do: create a music game for families based around improvisation. Even though it…

Ha, I get it, because I made an obvious joke that wasn't very funny.
Classic KGB.
I don't know…I'm a Coldplay fan so I have to take whatever potshots I can get.

The End tugged at the Invisible Strings of my heart.

Did it almost ruin it because it was a song by the band Wheezer?

Yeah I guess I'm having a hard time thinking of a good example of what I'm talking about. None of the characters' decisions in Prometheus struck me as that crazy or out-there…but I've only seen it once.

Jared Harris as Kraid, Vincent Kartheiser as a Metroid, John Slattery as a sassy Space Pirate.
And I'd vote for Christina Hendricks as Samus.

Yeah, I just can't agree with the mythology thing. I mean, I agree it's divisive. But all the "dead ends"? Just not true. I defy you to come up with an "unanswered question" that I could answer. Not all of it was explicitly answered, but most of them were answered in more subtle ways.
I have yet to find hear one…

My thoughts exactly. I just can't keep track of monthly comics, for some reason. I forget, I get behind. I like having the volume.
