Aug. 17th, 2004 12:41 amMm, reruns of the Olympics and Matt Damon on Letterman. :9
I've been rereading The Bourne Identity. I think I was 8 when I first read it and I didn't want to spoil the movie by rereading. I'm glad I did. Matt Damon is not the Jason Bourne of Ludlum's novel - he's a little too pretty, the moves a little too clean, too automatic. I like the psychological struggle in the book. That was what intrigued me when I first read it - not that I understood all of it at the time, but wow, to be able to wake up and not know who you are and know all kinds of cool stuff and land smack in the middle of an adventure - and that storyline still grabs me.
The movies are still good, in that "shares a title with" way, Matt is sooo pretty and well, let's say my first foray into slash could be some movie-canon Jason/Kirill backstory. *drifts off*
Also, going back to work sucks. Bah, I want to be independently wealthy. :-(
