*Sorry about the overly long title the first time around
Quote:
Bond is “an imperialist and he’s a misogynist. He kills people and laughs and sips martinis and wisecracks about it,” Damon, 36, told The Associated Press in an interview …
Paul Greengrass, Damon’s director on Universal’s “Bourne Ultimatum” and its 2004 predecessor, “The Bourne Supremacy,” agreed that Bond is a relic from a different era.
“He’s an insider. He likes being a secret agent. He worships at the altar of technology. He loves his gadgets. And he embodies this whole set of misogynistic values,” Greengrass said. “He likes violence. That’s part of the appeal of the character. He has no guilt. He’s essentially an imperial adventurer of a particularly English sort.
“Personally, I spit on those values. I think we’ve moved on a little bit from all that, the martini shaken, not stirred.”

Thanks Matt and Paul! To be fair, I kinda like the Bourne films. Then again the first one's ending was kind of predictable. But then again it sent a progressive message, that's more important then the story. Oh, but thank God spit on the old imperialist values of old dinosaurs like Dr. No, and From Russia with Love. George Clooney was right about Casablanca! What an old piece of right-wing propaganda that was!
Let's hope you have the
same financial success Clooney did!
