(no subject)
1. My housemate and I were driving home from brunch the other day, when a person riding a horse crossed the road in front of us. CANBERRA. How are you even where I live.
2. Also it snowed last Friday. Quite rare where I live! So I am pretty excited to have seen it. :D :D :D
Okay it's a crappy cameraphone picture of a tiny amount of snow. Still exciting!
3. Speaking of seeing things, I went and saw The Bourne Legacy last week.
I enjoyed it, by which I mean I enjoyed the performances of Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz. Renner had a great mix of vulnerability and competence, and I loved that Marta was a believable mix of being out of her depth and competent. Love that she saved them from the super-assassin with her follow-up kick!
That said: what on earth was that as a climax? I feel like they ran out of time and didn't film the final act of the film. And the plot was pretty generic and also boring. So yeah: good performances, some lovely locations (Marta's house! So lovely!), and some terrible writing.
Also why did Aaron take wetsuit pants to the arctic but forgot the top? I mean obviously so we can admire his abs, but I do like a Watsonian explanation as well as a Doyleist.
4. Also is it just me, or does Jeremy Renner look a bit like Nathan Fillion? I think it's the eyes/forehead crinkling/smiles/way they get posed for our objectification.
These pictures sort of show what I mean:
And I found some where the resemblance is more obvious but I couldn't find a good matching photo for either. More research is clearly required! Oh, the hardships.
