“To me, one of the things about this story is it’s very much The Wizard of Oz, and Jason Bourne is trying to get home – is trying to get home the entire movie – and he eventually has to realize that Marie is ‘home’ and he was home all along. He just had to realize it.”

I’M BACK. *relieved sigh*.
Ok so the phone line is out in my flat. No dialtone = no internet = no tumblr = saaaadface. Knowing British Telecom it’ll be a few weeks till I’m back among the living. So forgive me a brief hiatus, I’ll return soon as I can and better than ever (with no doubt lots of Man of Steel feels to have all over your dash) but till then this is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
So there’s a guy who works on the same floor as me: he’s built like Paul Bettany, he has froofy Hugh-Grant-in-4-Weddings hair, and he dresses like one of the Tweed/anglophilia blogs. No, but really.
He is a problem when I’m trying to get work done.
-Bill Paxton: I wanted to be cool, like Michael.
-Michael Biehn: I was cool in that shot. …That was the last time I was cool.
-Bill Paxton: I wanted to be the ‘cool guy’, I didn’t wanna be the guy bellyaching!
-Michael Biehn: This movie made you a star, man!
-Bill Paxton: I wanted to be Michael Biehn in this movie.
-Michael Biehn: …so did I.
…
-Lance Henriksen: I wanted to be Sigourney.

but here’s the thing someone gets paid actual money to point a spray bottle at Hugh Dancy and spritz him with water until he looks appropriately sweaty and disheveled
“In reaction against the age-old slogan, “woman is the weaker vessel,” or the still more offensive, “woman is a divine creature,” we have, I think, allowed ourselves to drift into asserting that “a woman is as good as a man,” without always pausing to think what exactly we mean by that. What, I feel, we ought to mean is something so obvious that it is apt to escape attention altogether, viz: (…) that a woman is just as much an ordinary human being as a man, with the same individual preferences, and with just as much right to the tastes and preferences of an individual. What is repugnant to every human being is to be reckoned always as a member of a class and not as an individual person.”

“They introduce a dog at the beginning and then you never see him again. They introduce all these owls and then you never see them again. What was the point?”
