(8/2/07, 8/8/07. alone, both times, AMC Metreon. 11:00am, 9:50pm)
1) Action fun with a serious face, that is sometimes gleeful about its own machinations but can't ever crack a smile, as opposed to Die Hard, which was like a little kid on a roller coaster, ear-to-ear grin the whole time.
2) All the quick cuts make everything seem extremely precise, even the shaky camera. I could almost believe Greengrass planned every little twitch.
3) Really liked the shot of, um... what was his name... the "source" for the British journalist, when they're meeting, how the corner made by the journalist's shoulder and neck frames the source's right eye, then he rubs his forehead and sighs and tilts his head a bit and locks his other eye right into the same position. Dunno why, just seemed really pretty.
4) The Bourne Ultimate Democrat Fantasy: people with consciences inside the gov't release to the public the secret bad stuff, and then Congress comes down on the officials competently and powerfully. Pamela Landy for President!!!
5) An all-out dis of the War on Terror by the guy who directed United 93? Is he trying to karmically pay for it, or is United 93 not the pure propaganda job I figured it for?
