Just saw this one tonight and I highly recommend it to all!  I suggest you watch the first movie The Bourne Identity if you did not see it because the movie picks up where the last left off. Same cast and Karl Urban of Eomer fame plays a bad guy hit man in this one!! Excellent story and action throughout. You won't be disappointed. |

You watched it on a plane  the camera style was so shakey I felt that I had motion sickness most of the way through the film (even though I am not prone to motion sickness, unless caught in hurricanes on boats! Not an experience I ever hope to repeat). I'd have felt quite ill had I not seen it on dry land! |

Has anyone read the books? Mark was looking at them in our lunchbreak today in Borders (known here as "the American bookstore" - I think it's the only Borders in the UK). Anyway, anyone know if they are any good?

Hi Ed:
Was the trip to Singapore business or pleasure? I visited there back in 1987. Military history especially World War II is a passion of mine and I visited many of the defenses and areas of interest from that time period.
Yea The Bourne Supremacy is very good. I have not seen the Extended Edition but I think it has an alternate ending included and some additional footage.

Well that sounded like a great trip - The Philippines & Singapore & The LOTR's Exhibition! Are people over there as passionate about the LOTR's as we are here or was it just curiosity?

Sounds good, though I will have to see the Bourne Identity again to refresh my memory as it has been 2 years since I saw it!!

i think at the exhibitin singapore, there were genuine fans but more were there out of curiosity. i wonder how many flew in from japan and other countries as it was the only asian exhibit. the exhibits were not packed at all and i spent several hours there both days watching the clips on a movie screen as well as poring thru the exhibits again and again. i did go to the scale demo and got my photo taken. the store was interesting there were some cool stuff being sold, toys, some statues, some unavailable here. i even got a coffee mug which show'sthe ring'sdesign circumferentially once you pour hot liquid in it. cool!-i mean, HOT! ed |

Hey Roz: Border's is a decent book store. They have several different sizes to them depending on the size of the city the store is located in. I have not read the books but if they are anything like the movie it should be a good read. Speaking of a great read has anyone read these two books by Dan Brown - The Da Vinci Code and his first book - Angels & Demons which is even better than The Code? I could not put these books down they are so good and the author is from my home State of New Hampshire!! Ed - the store there sounds far superior to what was offered in Boston!! Terrible selection! I would bet you did have a good number of fans from Japan and all of Asia attend because it was the only showing. That scaling photo is cool. I did it as well. |

FTY - read Angels & Demons first if you can. In the Code there are references to what the character did in this book so it is awsome to know what happened. I personally think Angels & Demons story is outstanding so much so you will not want to put the book down. Now this is one book that I want to see turned into a movie!
Ed - I wish it was Angels & Demons they were making first but if they follow the storyline of The Code I will be happy. Either of the actors would be cool as Robert Langdon.

hi! without sounding redundant, i agree!! they dont need to make too many modifications to either stories, its just written perfect for a movie!
and fty, do take Ed's advice, read angels and demons first and be prepared for one sleepless night.
enjoy!!

Right... its off to the bookstore for me tomorrow! I have not read for enjoyment for a long time - I do believe my HP books and LOTR book are gathering what seems like a record amount of dust - the university readings I have to do are taking the enjoyment out of reading for me, evil things they are  I've always been a enthusiastic reader, but ahve been going through a drought lately :'( |
