-> I saw Booooooooourne. I am shallow enough to admit that even if it was terrible (yes, there were plot problems but I liked it anyway!) I would still watch it over and over again because yes, Jeremy Renner's naked torso is lovely and lovingly lit/wet/there through most of the movie. The Aaron/Marta really did fill my Jason/Marie yen. I especially loved how subtle JR was about playing Aaron just a little too abrupt, a little too quick to be confrontational, a little socially off-putting because it doesn't come naturally to him. I want all the Marta/Aaron where he's adjusting and she's patient and also yes, FIRST TIMES, LOTS OF FIRST TIMES. I went looking and there is like NO FIC but there's hardly any for Bourne/Marie either which is just tragic.

Pick any passage from something I've written, and leave it in a comment here. Then ask a question about it - what I was thinking, why that's the plot twist I chose, what I think might happen later, how I could've totally changed it up... anything you want to know.

This comment box cannot contain my excitement at the prospect of this fic.

This was my favorite part. You just know Aaron is not that experienced with women, though I'm sure his squad mates made sure he's not a virgin, and such a pretty woman as Marta is a completely different species. I like that it's moving so slow. I want another movie (and fic!) to see how how they progress. I've also decided that if they end up teaming up Bourne and Cross and Marta, that will be the end of the CIA. Nobody will be left alive. Which wouldn't be a bad thing except no more movies. Though I suppose they could start on MI6 and FSB.
Though I don't have a specific passage, I'd adore an update on the Avengers D&D AU.

I thought it was well choreographed and the acting was fantastic but the ending...oh gosh the ending. What even was that.
From:
no subject
I think they might have wanted to give the ending that first movie feel, but leave it open to further movies. It kinda rang of them not knowing how to wrap it up given those parameters.
Eep, though if there is another movie, I fear for Marta. Unless Aaron stages her death for her safety ala Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, the easiest thing they could do would be another revenge movie.

I know they wanted to make it a bit open-ended but it just felt...ugh, let me try to write my feelings up tmr and I'll email you. :)
I really hope not. Wouldn't that be too much like the first trilogy though? The smart thing would be to avoid those comparisons, right?

I don't know if it was just me but him sitting at the table in the end with the loose fitting pants and he's curled over a little and TUMMY!!
The amount of sweat/water shirtlessness certainly didn't harm his cause.
The only thing I would object to was the UGH BEARD OF UGGO! It didn't even look like it belonged to him, was just some scrubby thing glued to his face at the last minute, like he was supposed to grow a beard and he couldn't and they were like, okay, this fuzz we found in the vacuum cleaner will have to do!

Yay! I have feelings too!!! I am very interested in yours! This movie left me pondering because it seemed a little disjointed. There was this tight, punchy relationship-run stream and then this clunky conspiracy stream and they just didn't seem to be running in the same direction.
Wouldn't that be too much like the first trilogy though?
I would like to think that they would be smarter than that but these action franchises... the women just tend to disappear... :(

I think I'm the minority, but I loved it. Not sure that I would have loved it as much if another actor had been playing Aaron, but JR and RW together made this movie.
At the end of the day, this was the story of a man trying to stay who he has become. As that, I liked it. I even loved the ending, simply because of JRs luminous smile.
BUT PAMELA LANDY.............. howwwwwwwwwwww is she the bad guy, the traitor suddenly??
I really hope this is a sequel hook, and the next film is Bourne, Cross, Marta and Bourne's ex-handler/sometime love interest-ish girl ALL joining together to kick some CIA butt
How am I the only one squeeing about this movie-- I went in with such dread, having read everyones scathing reviews-- and I loved it
(Of course, the science has to be completely hand-waved, COMPLETELY, and there was not nearly enough JR and Edward Norton screen time)
But all in all, I loved this movie.

They should have made an Aaron movie. His backstory was compelling and layered enough that they could have used more of the screen time looking at that then having pensive "meetings" about the Bourne stuff happening and showing that reporter being shot again. WE SAW THAT IN THE OTHER MOVIE, DIDN'T NEED TO SHOW IT AGAIN, DIDN'T NEED TO TRY AND MAKE IT PART OF THIS CANON.
It's weird the stuff they treated as "assumed" knowledge (Pamela Landy - if you hadn't seen the other movies you would be like, what, who the hell is that - why do they keep showing her??) and the stuff they felt compelled to repeat.
From:
no subject
I kinda assumed that the movie was weighted the way it was to attract people to whom Aaron was NOT inherently interesting-- perhaps they didn't fully trust JR's ability to pull in the crowd (fools)
I also think they WERE desperately throwing in a sequel hook-- thats why the Pamela Landy stuff is in there (and if I'm cynical, I'll say they might also have been thinking of DVD sales of the original trilogy, but perhaps thats a tad too cynical)
In some ways I'm glad they didn't give us too much, simply cos it leaves so much room for fic
Speaking of fic, have you explored the Bourne legacy tag over at AO3-- there are some lovely, well written stories over there, my fave being a Mission Impossible cross over written by tigriswolf

There are some first-time stories too,Below deck by mapleandmahogany being a bit of a stand out.

I'm gonna ask a question in reverse: in which of your fics do you prefer your Tony (because I always love him in your fics, but I was wondering if you had a favourite)
From:

THE FURTHEST THEY GOT WAS HANDHOLDING WHICH IS NOT EVEN FIRST BASE AND IT STILL KEEEEELED ME DED PURELY BECAUSE OF KEMISTRY.
in which of your fics do you prefer your Tony
Oh WOW. Ummm... I really like when people assume Tony is being a dick when he's NOT EVEN but I suppose I write him that way ALOT. I think my best Tony was not even a story about him. It was Brand New Day (http://archiveofourown.org/works/348933) which was the Clint!Amnesia fic just because Tony was immediately in HELP FAMILY mode when he found out stuff was happening and just took for granted that despite time passing, the Avengers, they were gonna assemble and I can just picture Tony being quietly distraught that they separated and despite the circumstances being SUPER JAZZED there is a reason for them to come together again.
