Day 40: I went to see "The Bourne Legacy" today, and here, in no particular order, are my thoughts:
0 - Rachel Weisz. *sigh* I've missed you, dear.
1 - Jeremy Renner was competent, and the series that Damon starred in is not compromised by this film, which was an interesting and happy decision
2 - There are some really good moments, and some of them don't even involve explosions
3 - There are midi-chlorians in the Bourne universe, and this movie introduces us to them via some wacky pseudo-science. The explanations went on too long, and didn't make any sense in the first place.
4 - Awesome stunts, as you'd expect
5 - I just discovered that Rachel Weisz is married to Daniel Craig. Well... poop.
6 - I just discovered that Rachel Weisz probably shouldn't dream of a lifetime of adventure with me, and she should, instead, settle for... oh, I don't know, someone like Daniel Craig. Don't be sad, dear, he's a fine chap, I'm sure.
Fine.
Just fine.
Merely fine.
Average-ish.
Five inches shorter than me.
And he's only been James Bond, like, what, TWO more times than me??!? (Okay, three if you count Skyfall, which hasn't even been released, and if he gets to count that, then I get to count "The Magma Affair", a James Bond movie starring ME as James Bond, which, curiously, has ALSO not been released.... or, you know, written. Yet.)
Pfft.
