Wife and I watched the Bourne Supremacy last night, since she had liked the first movie. Did not carry over.

I started by betting her how long it would take for his girl friend to get killed. Pretty sure I won.

Then we wondered if passports reproduce like mushrooms when left in dark places.

We wondered why, if the guy is truly an ubermensch killing machine, he let the other killing machine get close enough to him to have a fight and nearly kill him.

We wondered why, AFTER he realized there was a worldwide APB out for him with his picture in every cop's hand, he at least didn't put on a hat, or dark glasses, or something.

We agreed that Moscow must be the ugliest city in the world. Berlin is in close competition for second place.

We agreed that if CIA agents are even remotely like the snarky, status-obsessed, all-speed-but-no-velocity geeks in the film we are actually in serious trouble. John LeCarre' beats Ludlum hands-down at the sleazy spy game.

If I want to watch a bunch of people doing tense things while staring at television screens Apollo 13 is much better.

No car chase should last two hours.

Bourne was actually bitten by a radioactive spider.
