i would stand in line for this

I try to maintain only posting up songs based on their own merit rather than because of something else that is unavoidably twined with them in memory, because I do not want people to hear something they would not appreciate on a same level as me simply because they have not experienced the same memory. A particularly good example would be soundtracks from films, since your mind automatically links a lot of the song you hear with what you see on the reel at the same time, leading to a judgment that may be a little skewered, however good or bad.

I never touched the second, nor ever watched the first in its entirety, but decided the third might be worth a shot at the midnight show. The tagline helped too. Sure it may not be entirely original or even slightly cheesy, but there's something unabashedly poignant about ' Remember Everything. Forgive Nothing.' that does not really mean a thing but makes its point well.

If by now you have not, go watch The Bourne Ultimatum. As an action show, it does not rely on the same magic of suspense like The Prestige, instead a finely directed fashion of a pacing for action that never lets go satisfies the same, if not more so.

It is a perfectly good diversion from whatever you may be busy with the rest of the week, and it's not a bad way to spend $9.50 at the cinema instead of most other mundane stuff on the reel now. A friend explained bits and connections to me along the way though, probably much to the irritation of those sitting behind, but still it is easy to catch up even though you may have missed the first two in the series.

Hah now I have lost the focus of the song. Anyway, Moby's contribution to the Bourne series is not particularly jaw dropping, but like the film, it knows what it's doing and does it well. There is something terribly catchy as to how Moby sings the chorus in that particular low drone of his.

I remember watching the video on the Soundtrack Cable channel back to back with the Cardigan's Erase/Rewind and it was.. ok. Actually I prefer the video version of " Extreme Ways" rather than the one they have for the Ultimatum soundtrack, if only because it does not have the extra backing vocals that are kinda distracting.

MOBY - EXTREME WAYS

Food for thought. I watched 881 the night before this, and enjoyed it too. It has been a long time since I have watched a show with as much sincerity and heart pored into it ( amelie comes to mind) done tastefully, and you cannot help but walk away feeling appreciative after the show despite the at times haphazard wayward plot. Unfortunately the friends I watched it with did not share the same sentiments, but shrug. I enjoyed The Bourne Ultimatum equally too, if not more so, though the show was obviously a different ' type' of film with cold smart pacing and well thought out scripted action that carried it through instead of the warm keenness and sincerity that was all 881.

I am not very sure what I am trying to say though, perhaps it is just as simple as I like things that for all they may seem to be different, simply have a way of being enjoyed the same way by me.

oh yeh and I hate admitting it but Julia Stile's 'kind of' smile at the end floored me.
