You Know Not!

I’m not talking about the kind you use with water to get all clean and sweet smelling, either. I mean those programs that come on television during the afternoon, full of vapid women wearing designer clothes and and exquisite fashion jewelry and boffing the pool boy between visits to their psychiatrists office and the aerobics club. And have you ever noticed than none of them ever go to the bathroom?

Do you have a great idea and need a video to demonstrate or get your idea across? You don’t have to corral your friends and relations into performing for you. You can actually buy hd film stock footage to use however you want! The footage is sold royalty free. That means that once you buy it, you can use it wherever you gnat, however you want for as long as you want. It’s yours. The site is pretty simple to use. You can search by keyword, or browse by category. But listen, if you decide to check out the “arts” category, be careful. When I went to check it out, there was a shot of a person getting a tattoo, and there was, umm, a lot of red in that. I don’t think it was ink, either. Just sayin’

I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am still reading. In fact, I am currently reading four books. This is quite a feat if you consider that I usually don’t get to pick up a book until I am in the bed at night, and then I read for 15 or 20 minutes before I fall asleep. So! there will eventually be more book reviews, and in fact, I may start giving some in-the-middle reviews. Unless of course, I procure an Orlando vacation home and spend a couple of months alone there with only books for friends. I could totally do that, you know. No not involved.

Yep, you know we watched The Bourne Supremacy, too! Since I complained about Matt Damon in the last post, I’ll note that he looked almost old in this one to pull his character off, and that made this one much more enjoyable for me. Call me a realist, I can take it. You don’t need a head full of Dell memory to realize a teenager probably doesn’t have the life skills to be a trained assassin. Just sayin’

I do have to commend the special effects in all these movies. There was an intense water scene in this one, and also in Ultimatum, and they were incredibly realistic. And if it wasn’t special effects, then the stunt coordinator was masterful.

The movie moves at a good pace, and will keep you hooked from the beginning. I think I forgot to breathe during the India chase scene. And if I say one more word, I’ll be giving away major plot points.

After the girls saw The Bourne Ultimatum, and I told them there had been two prior movies, they just had to see them. I have to confess that Matt Damon was far too young in to be convincing as a secret agent. He really didn’t look a day over 16, and it was hard to believe he actually had the experience to do the job. Marie (Franka Potente), however, was totally believable in that hacked-off-hair-and-no-jewelry gritty heroine kind of way. The movie was good, though, and if you can get past that face-of-freshness, some would even say excellent. Especially if they were 12 and 14 year old girls.
