You and your friends are dead. Game over. 

Once you learn the secret cause of the effect in the first one, it kind of becomes it’s own sequel. Also what happened to the officer who was helping/witnessing Sosie Bacon?

“No! We had a deal!”

“and has a lot of action on her own, away from Bourne.”

it came out on video while i was working at a video store, just out of high school, and living on my own for the first time. my roommates and I were OBSESSED with the movie and soundtrack

Dylan Gelula’s Twitter account is the one thing I miss after moving off that site.

I recently rewatched it, and it certainly struck me that if the movie was made today, you’d have a bunch of people raised on CinemaSins whining about how the “rules” are never explained. But it truly just never crosses your mind when you’re actually watching the thing, and you just accept its existence as a one of a…

Come on, filmmakers. “Smiles” was right there!

In the books, Ludlum managed to keep her around, while not as actively as in the first film (or book) but still enough to keep her fairly prominent. While not spoiling it, she is plays a vital role in kicking off the second book’s plot, and has a lot of action on her own, away from Bourne.

Underrated show. And now I’m gonna be singing “Daddy’s Boy” all day so thanks for that. 

The film was exhausting in a brilliant way.

When I saw this (gulp) 25 years ago, I was blown away by both the movie and the soundtrack - which works perfectly with everything happening onscreen.

The main reason to dislike the Bourne sequels is, of course, that hack Palsy Greengrass directing them.

Hey, there’s at least on other piece of German cinema that took hold of the Simpsons’ writer’s room:

race car driving!

The movie also provides a nice little snap shot in time of post-unification Berlin when it was still in its Bohemian stage. 

Run Lola Run is one of the few German films to briefly capture American pop culutre’s attention back then so much that even The Simpsons and a few other shows did parodies of it.

There are a few movies I hold in my heart as the platonic ideal of film, and this is one of them. I actually just rewatched it last week and it still grabs me from frame one and doesn’t let go until the credits roll.

Love this film so much. Bummed that its current 25th anniversary theatrical release never came to a theater near me, I imagine this would be so fun to watch on the big screen with an audience. I will note that Run Lola Run’s concept was quite heavily influenced by Kieslowski’s Blind Chance (1987). 

I was introduced to the film when I was in high school, taking german class, and it was a mind-blowing introduction to modern European cinema and way more interesting than the stupid TV show designed for learners we also had to watch. A couple of years later in University it was one of the first movies I acquired in a…
