Wait wait wait. Let me make sure I understand this. Did you just say you prefer seeing violence onscreen than sex?

That's correct, as strange as it sounds.

I saw Bourne Supremacy tonight... or should I say that I _tried_ to see it. The storyline was fine, but the cinematography was absolutely hideous -- it was if the entire film was made with handheld cameras, carried by epileptics, standing on the bed of a moving pickup truck on a bumpy road, during an earthquake. There was one fight sequence in particular that was an utterly disjointed mess, but the entire film was jittery; it _had_ to be intentional, but I haven't the slightest idea why.

I went to Hersheypark two weeks ago, rode coasters and other rides that'd pull your teeth out, and I was perfectly fine. THIS movie, on the other hand, literally gave me motion sickness; the shakiness was _that_ bad. I had to go out for a breather after about an hour, came back, then left entirely.

Pity, as the book was good.

I honestly disagree, I thought that however "motion-sickness" inducing the hand-held scenes were, I think that the reason for including them is to make the feel of the commotion and chaos as real as possible. I know exactly the fight scene you are talking about, as I heard grunts and smashes and such and I saw blood on both faces, but at the time of the fight i had NO idea who as getting knocked. My review of the movie is "This movie redefines the meaning of intensity." While parts of the story were a bit confusing, I got most of the story and action scenes were great. I would give it a B+
