Keith, I'd love to give it a try, especially since I once wrote a story about a pawn shop that was far more than it seemed, but I break out into hives at the thought of reality TV. If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director? -- Charles

Thank you! I notice that as much as I love all the Bourne movies, the first remains my favorite.One reason is the mystery in that one: you didn't know who or what Bourne was. I also like the introduction of his girlfriend, and the story took us to more places. It had more of a good sense of

I agree. Though I'd prefer Liman at the top of his game, I really like Greengrass, and the studio's move seems a bit puzzling. - Original Message -From: "Tracey de Morsella" tdli...@multiculturaladvantage.comTo: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, December 2, 2009 12:26:58 AM GMT
