I thought the new Bourne movie was rubbish. I appreciate a good action flick (and liked the previous ones), but this seemed like it was trying too hard, with no let up in the action sequences (which at times I could not buy into the suspension of disbelief - ie Swat vehicle plowing through other vehicles).

Acting was beyond wooden by all concerned. Tommy Lee seemed to be the only saving grace.

Saw the trailer and said "meh". Not surprised by your mini review.

I concur. The movie was two hours of loud shit constantly going boom and a fight or chase sequence every other minute for the benefit of short attention spans. It's yet another unsubtle action movie for the 90 or less IQ'ed.

As for Julia Stiles... she was never the best looking chick but I would've WB in her prime and I WB now. Ever since 10 Things I hate About You I've had a thing for hate fucking bitchy ice princesses. Even though the sandwich is getting staler by the minute I'd still take a bite. If only to inflict a karmic retribution hate fuck on her for her performance in 10 Things. A lot of Gen X and millennial SJW cunts started developing their attitudes in their teens after seeing that movie and imitating her character in that movie.

Good point. Plus, to put things in perspective, she's doing much better than Heath Ledger.

Some girls that are super hot as teens grow up to be odd-looking. Alicia Silverstone is one of those girls. I'm pretty sure every Gen X guy jerked off thinking about her in the Aerosmith videos at least once. She also falls in that pouty + bitchy, category.

The left side reminds me of something I heard Patrice O'Neal say. "An ugly 19 year old is hotter than a hot 37 year old."

I'd say she a wall survivor.

To keep things in context, she was never that hot. But she has aged well and made the most of her genetics. She doesn't like absolutely terrible like other women who have hit the wall. She looks exactly what I'd expect a 35 year old woman to look like if she takes care of herself.

By the way, the new Bourne movie sucks. There weren't enough highly quality action scenes to distract the boring, uninspired plot. Totally disappointing.

Anytime I hear "Hypnotize" by Notorious BIG, I think of this scene:

I look at it like this, most women hit the wall at 25. If she's still fit, not full of wrinkles and sun spots, I'll call her a survivor. Congratulations Julia. You made the cut. She'd probably be fucked if she didn't have celeb money though.
