Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Babette]

Saw Bourne yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Thought the action was fun and entertaining. Extended chases and fights were amazing.

The story was not as great as the first. When Matt did speak (like only a handful of times or in short phrases) he sounded like he had a cold. Whatever, he was still hot!

The story had holes, but not too many to make me hate it. I wonder:

Spoiler:

Do you really think top CIA members (or any CIA agents) really have office windows you can see into? Wouldn't they have one-way glass or something to prevent people from peeping and finding their secret hiding spots? Just wondering.

The end of Bourne Supremecy flashes forward a few months and has Jason looking into Pamela Landy's office and telling her she looks tired, etc. There was a similar scene in Bourne Ultimatum. This made me think that the first half of Ultimatum was supposed to be those missing months from Supremecy, then it continued on from there. Anyone else feel this?

I like how it ended the same way Bourne Identity started with him floating in the water Nice book ends for a trilogy.

I LOVE MATT DAMON!!

I didn't see the movie, but:

Spoiler:

Top CIA members/agents may have an office with windows, but I doubt they would discuss anything classified in them. A laser listening device has a good chance of picking up a conversation via the window. Any sound vibrations in the room will vibrate the window. That vibration can be picked up and interpreted.
