Bourne Again
Went to go see The Bourne Supremacy today, after mowing the lawn and doing laundry (I'm not a complete "bear with furniture"). I should know better than to see a movie on opening weekend at 4 pm. *Packed* theater, just packed.
Could they have used a steadicam once in a while in that movie? Geez, I thought cinema verite had died out years ago. With that aside, though, it was a really good movie. Not as good as the first one, but pretty darned good. I think it taps into the rugged individualist streak in the western psyche - we think one man with the right training can do anything, beat anyone. It sure makes for good film, anyway.

Homeland Security
Why is it that I have suddenly begun seeing Ready.gov commercials on television every ten damned minutes? They have been on often enough that I noticed them in the past year, but not so often that I was annoyed by them. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Democratic Convention or anything. Nope. This administration has never used its executive offices for campaign propaganda purposes before.
