This series needs a good solid villain.
You asked, I'll tell by Spaz_Monkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 02:01:01 PM
"I have no idea what the story is for THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM" ___ Jason Bourne versus the man who has plagued him his entire professional career, Carlos The Jackal. Unless you mean the movies, which have nothing whatsoever to do with the books. In that case, never mind.

The 2nd Bourne movie made me want to puke, none of the shots would stay still, you could hardly see what the hell was going on half the time!
You're right, Bean by Jonesey1111	Oct 3rd, 2006 02:13:19 PM
No more shaky camera! I know you're trying to build intensity, relate confusion, ect, ect, ect, but I get sick watching that shit!

Supremacy is the best example of... by JThomasC	Oct 3rd, 2006 02:41:12 PM
How not to shoot an action film. It has to be the worst shot film I have ever seen in my entire life. I could not help but laugh at the screen as the two blurs went at each other in what I assume at various points in the film consisted of hand to hand combat and a car chase, these assumptions based soley on the audio as there really is nothing that can be discerned on screen. Identity was amazing the skill Damon showed with great choreography was careful captured on every frame. In Supremacy it was a terribly lit vomit of motion. A foot there an arm here. And I have yet to figure out what was going on in that climactic car crash. Awful just awful. Hopefully they can resurect the series if this move forward. But I refuse to admit to myself that Supremacy even happened.

Thats sounds fucking awesome by IndustryKiller!	Oct 3rd, 2006 02:56:30 PM
But I hold out little hope for it actually happening. Damon and Bernal are fantastic actors and I would love to see them elevating each others games. Let's just hope Paul "You can tell something crazy is happening because I won't keep the damn camera still" Greengrass isn't directing this time. I can't believe anyone got suckered by his lazy style the first time around.

You have to sit in the back row to enjoy SUPREMACY by Frietag	Oct 3rd, 2006 03:51:35 PM
Everyone I know who hated BOURNE SUPREMACY sat near the front. You can always tell who sat in the back row -- they liked it. But if you're one of those people who likes to sit right up near the front (and you weren't warned, like I was), then you now hate it with the burning fury of 1000 suns. (If you actually sat IN the front row, it destroyed your brain, and you now are a writer for game shows.) I haven't seen the DVD, but I'll wager the Shakycam comes off better on the small screen.
The first two movies kicked ass by Toby___Wong	Oct 3rd, 2006 03:52:39 PM
Here is to the third kick ass movie. I would have liked Matt Damon vs Ben Affleck so Affleck could get his ass kicked.

Oh, give me a break by Killah_Mate	Oct 3rd, 2006 04:06:38 PM
Dissing Matt Damon's acting skills? Are you actually serious? Face it, the man knows his shit. Jesus, even the Ben Affleck stuff is at least two years out of date...

I agree 100% on those that say Paul Greenass should invest in a tripod. If that sea-sick inducing twat directs it the same way then I'll wait for it on dvd, so I can watch it in reduced ratio... helps with the motion sickness.
The whole Matt Damon retarded thing.... by Flipao	Oct 3rd, 2006 04:43:11 PM

off topic: AVP2 will be R-Rated by misnomer	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:10:20 PM
om Rothman, head of Fox studios, said in an interview with IESB.net that the upcoming Alien vs. Predator 2 will be very violent, very hardcore, very restricted! Check it out: IESB: I am sold. AVP 2, man, you are just keeping the fanboys ecstatic… TR: We are genre lovers, yeah, I just started [AVP 2] actually, we’re stoked. It’s a pretty big piece of news…I don’t know… IESB: Oh come on...Tom it’s me… TR: Everybody will just… IESB: What, are you giving it to Variety? Ooh-ahh… TR: Let’s put it this way, I think the approach this time is going to be very hardcore. Very R rated. I think this is a, we believe that, this pass on AVP with these filmmakers is going to be a lot closer to the hardcore experience. IESB: I am hearing that this AVP 2 script resembles a lot of [James] Cameron’s Aliens, that it is very hard, and it doesn’t resemble the first AVP film much. Is that accurate? TR: That is accurate. Very hardcore. Very violent. IESB: Can you tell me what time frame this takes place in? TR: Yeah, it’s contemporary. IESB: Is Lance Henrikson going to have any kind of appearance? TR: I have no comment IESB: That’s fair. Someone sends me this rumor that you guys are so happy with the way things are turning out for AVP 2 that you are already looking at a stand alone Predator film, any truth to that? TR: Yes and no, no truth to that in current active prep, but yes it’s true that it’s something that we think and talk about. This is fantastic news, if you ask me. With the style of The Brothers Strause, and with Dan Pearl on as cinematographer, at least now we know that they will not have their hands tied, and be able to shoot this film with the macabre grit, emotion, and action we all want. To read the full interview visit IESB.net. Thanks to SiL for the heads up on the link.
Left-Field Villain Casting. by Christopher3	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:16:26 PM
First Heath Ledger, then Jeffrey Wright, now this. Too weird. I'm interested to see how all of these guys do.
misnomer by Ridge	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:18:08 PM
At first I was about to flame you for going massively off topic... but I have to say that was incredibly interesting, thanks for the posting lol. Anyhow, back on topic, I don't know why you guys insist on being so over-reactive towards the Bourne movies 'Oh it had shaky cam! Its the worst shot movie ever!', yeah because House of the Dead, Aliens vs Predator and other movies of the cheap-ass ilk were much better huh... jesus get a life.
The reson I didn't like SUPREMACY... by odysseus	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:19:29 PM
...was that they killed the girl from the first movie right away. A total waste -- like killing Hicks and Newt in A3.
Odysseus by Ridge	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:19:51 PM
That, I can agree with. It seemed a little... wasteful to kill her straight away when they could've built it up to a giant crescendo with her tragic death etc etc. But then, I also felt Karl Urban made for an excellent nemesis
Damon v. Bernal? by rbatty024	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:52:53 PM
Jason Bourne is gonna kick that commie Che Guevara's ass. Woooo-hoooo!
read the books... by thebearovingian	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:16:54 PM
much better than the movies (although Ultimatum as a film does not exist yet but let's be real, it won't come close). They killed Marie in Supremacy! Ruined that entire movie for me. Will Carlos the Jackal be "adapted" into Bin Laden in Ultimatum? The books are obviously plenty damn good enough stories to be made into movies so stop screwing with everything!! Dammit!
Great casting. by dregmobile	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:21:30 PM
I hope it's real and if so look forward to it.
Bernal's one of the best young actors around right now by pauduro	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:45:22 PM

Bernal's character by OhDaesu	Oct 3rd, 2006 07:48:58 PM
He will play the world's greatest hitman in the Bourne Ultimatum. That sounds awesome.
Matt Damon Is Cool As Hell So Fuck Off by The Ender	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:01:46 PM
He's a really down to earth guy, and pretty fun to talk to. He stayed at the place where I work at handling business conferences two years ago when he was giving a speech to the students at a prep school up the road. Real nice guy, and his wit is probably sharper than most of the fucktards making the Matt Damon Retard Jokes. We get it, you're jealous, it's really okay. Bernal is a GREAT choice for a villain, that guy is an awesome actor. Cheers Cunts
Never watch a Bourne film while drunk or high by Bong	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:13:06 PM

This series is kinda lame by Neo Zeed	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:20:01 PM

Who the fuck is "Bernal"??? by xannibal	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:48:27 PM
And why is he being referred to by his last name only?
RE: Can't wait for that one-on-one action with Damon by krullboy	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:09:37 PM
This is a "Bourne" film, not the spy-flavored sequel to "Brokeback Mountain". That is all.
The Bourne movies suck by Osmosis Jones	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:20:57 PM
It's weird to see critics jizzing themselves in praise of the Bourne movies being the "smart" alternatives to the Bond films, but both movies revel in tired espionage cliches ("movie amnesia", a professional assassin who balks at killing kids, ect.) and they're not very good as action movies. The first was competently shot, if bland (a poor-man's Ronin), bt the sequel nearly gave me a seizure with it's shakey-cam bulshit. Count me out for the third.
Bernal by dregmobile	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:26:21 PM
He was great in Amores Perros and Yu Tu Mama Tambien. Oh, also saw him in The Motorcycle Diaries. I don't speak Spanish or Mexican, but from what I can gather, the guy can act, and this as his first big Hollywood film seems perfect.

Thanks for saving me typing everything you said.
Hey people. by Gilkuliehe	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:06:00 PM
Gael's second name is GARCÍA. Not Bernal. In Spanish we have two last names, one is our father's name, the second is our mother's name. So if you want to refer to him by his last name, say the whole thing GARCÍA BERNAL. Pretend there's a hyphon in there. (PS: I love García Bernal's casting on this)
HEY QUINT!!!! by Gilkuliehe	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:10:00 PM

To all the shakey cam whiners by board shitlez	Oct 4th, 2006 03:16:43 AM
Awww did the ickle shakey action film make your delicate little tummies go squirmy? Diddums. Do you have to walk down the street holding the wall to steady yourselves in case you vomit? Supremacy was ace - representing how real car chases/fights/action look and feel.
I'll wait for video if shakey camera by cornstalkwalker	Oct 4th, 2006 03:55:44 AM
I would have loved the second film if I could see what was going on in the action scenes. Hell, even the slow moments were like the camera was sitting on a running washer and dryer. They should of gotten Advil to sponsor the film and they could've handed out those 2 packs with every ticket.
Fuck all the Paul Greengrass haters! by No Talent Ass Clown	Oct 4th, 2006 05:02:51 AM
The Bourne Supremacy was well-directed (ESPECIALLY the action sequences). I thought the final car chase was one of the best ever put on camera. The fight scenes were excellent because they allowed the viewer to experience what a true hand-to-hand fight feels like. The puffy, bloated, mama's boys reading this page wouldn't understand because they've never actually been in a fight (playing Mortal Kombat on your Playstation doesn't count, fellas). Nolan tried to replicate Greengrass' style of filming fight sequences in the Batman movie, but failed miserably. By the way, if you need further proof that Greengrass is the shit, just watch Flight 93--one of the best movies in recent years. That is all, bitches.

Book fans... by servo1138	Oct 4th, 2006 07:19:50 AM
For those of you who like the books, obviously the third one will not involve Carlos the Jackal as that story wasn't developed in the first one. But there was another version of Bourne Identity made back in the 80s that follows the book pretty well. It was made for TV though. It's available on netflix and you may be able to find it in a large video store.

Re: AvP2 being R-rated... by ScarranHalfBreed	Oct 4th, 2006 08:48:24 AM
...Not sure what this is doing in a Bourne talkback, but I remember when Chronicles of Riddick was going to be a hard R flick. The fact that someone says it's hard R during pre-production doesn't make it so. It's simply a way of building hype.
And regarding SUPREMACY... by ScarranHalfBreed	Oct 4th, 2006 08:50:13 AM
...The movie is WAAAY better than the first flick, in many ways, IMHO, and I loved the first flick. The action sequences were perfectly shot, especially the car chases. I hope Greengrass doesn't read these comments.
board shitlez by NightArrows	Oct 4th, 2006 08:58:32 AM
Yes, the shaky cam made us sick you little midget fister. SO that's how real car chases and fights are in the real world huh? Are you fucked in the head or just suffer from constant epilepsy? I've driven fast cars, and I didn't shake like Ethel Thayer on a bumpy road. I've been in fights and didn't seizure out or become blurry like a Paris Hilton porn film. Bottom line is that was piss poor use of an interesting technique. Less is more fuckback.
Go get in an actual fight if you need to . . . by Movietool	Oct 4th, 2006 09:57:34 AM
. . . find out what it's "really like." But if you're going to make a movie, please film it in such a way that I can actually understand what's going on. I definitely hope they tone down the "earthquake cam" for this one.

Can't wait by Jeebs	Oct 4th, 2006 01:56:32 PM
Love both movies, Supremacy was slightly better than the first (cause the first one was already good), wish they didn't kill Marie though, but it didn't take away my enjoyment of the film. Didn't mind the shakey-cam that much in Supremacy, but then again I was sitting in the back row. I'm looking forward to the third, hopefully not last in the series.
"I've driven fast cars, " - NightArrows by dregmobile	Oct 4th, 2006 06:51:06 PM
Yeah, but have you been chased by police, secret police, and a top assassin whilst sporting a bullet wound? Think, man. THINK. A little different to driving a fast car down a highway when the cops aren't looking.
Say what you want about the Bourne movies by CreasyBear	Oct 4th, 2006 07:05:49 PM
(personally, I really liked 'em, especially Supremacy for the casting of Brian Cox and Joan Allen, the pacing, and the direction). The Bourne movies can't be too bad if the new Bond is ripping them off (e.g., mental acuity over gadgets, dropping the emphasis on zippy one-liners, the grittier look, etc.)
Ahh, shaky-cam by moviemaniac-7	Oct 4th, 2006 10:59:12 PM
Fuck it, I loved it. Greengrass approached it as a documentary and just went with it. Personally I thought it was a brilliant touch and something else from all the slick MTV shot-and-chopped action fare that plagues your loceal theater. Brilliant decision and I am there if it is done again. Who am I kidding? I am there no matter what. I only hope they ditched that story-line about a reporter finding out about Bourne and researching it. It was reported about a year ago during a script review. Sounded lame, but with the writing powers behind the current script I'd say we are safe.
JAGUART by TheStev	Oct 5th, 2006 01:39:18 AM
I like Damon and the Bourne movies, but that post was just champagne comedy through and through. Probably not a new joke, but it's the first time I've seen it so kudos to you.
