I was so pleased a few days back when I unexpectedly caught a trailer for "The Bourne Ultimatum". The first two films in the trilogy, "The Bourne Identity" and "The Bourne Supremacy" were masterpieces. No special effects and the car chases were amazing. I don't know why Matt Damon gets such a hard time, his portrayal in Team America was the only unamusing part of the film for me. Also, in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" he gave an outstanding performance. I think it's out here on August 16th, I really must go and see it!
On a different front, I attended a family barbecue yesterday, had quite a bit to drink and wasn't even slightly ill. I was also forced on to a bouncy castle, despite determined resistance. I then proceeeded to take an elbow sharply in the eye, which was followed by the realisation that I was alone on the bouncy castle, being filmed and watched by all, seemingly expecting me to put on some sort of performance! Fortunately for me, the kids bailed me out by knocking me over and leaping on me like Cato in the Pink Panther.
The barbecue went a bit downhill though after some people rushed off to watch "Baby Ballroom" and "Dance X" or something! I was quite incredulous to be honest. Apparently it's brilliant though, kids dancing and stuff, but wait, I hate f*****g dancing and if I wanted to watch dancing on a Saturday night I'd go to a club. The last place you want to see it is in your own bloody house. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "It's just not like the old days is it?"
