There are five books in that series, Fizban. Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum were written by Robert Ludlum and he agreed to sell the licence for cinema adaptation. The last two, Legacy and Betrayal were written by Eric Van Lustbader. I assume he either turned down the movie contract, or the studio/Matt Damon didn't want to invest any more time or money into the franchise. This was all before publishers started claiming more rights to novels, and authors weren't in it for the money *cough*StephanieMeyer*cough* *loudercough*JKRowlings*hackingcough*
Sorry, I think my contempt is showing....

I saw those out there, but I'm on the fence about reading them. Ultimatum completely threw me with how bad it was. Just everybody becoming idiots after the time skip between Supremacy-Ultimatum and I don't have that much faith in a new writer taking up the reigns. Then there's the fact that Ultimatum made it seem like Bourne was ready for the retirement home.
Honestly. I really didn't think their needed to be so much referencing to the fact that he was old. I mean, really? Not only do we get Bourne's inner dialogue about how he's getting old whenever he exerts himself scattered throughout the book, but an even older GRU/SVR Russian guy comments on it. Felt like it was just getting done so the book would be longer.
Bad as the third was though, I still think the Trilogy is gold. Might read the other books and take them with a grain of salt. :P The ole Star Wars Ep I-III treatment. lol.
To bad about the movies. Thought they were pretty good. :( Until I read the books and realized that they cut out Echo/Vietnam/The Jackal/Medusa. lol. Echo would've been the baddest French dude on film since JCVD in Lionheart.
-
haven't gotten around to reading them yet. But I also enjoyed the movies.
No one commented on my interpretation of the supposed 'longhorn' *wink wink* logo because they think i'm right or too rude? :)

I am so sorry about not posting. Its Mardi Gras down here and my hours not spent at work or intoxicated at the parades have been spent sleeping. I promise that I will have something up tonight but it wont be until late my time (2 more parades to go Lol)
-
@rensha The alternative is the fact that a tiny, Vivi-like mage's face is planted somewhere in the belt buckle region of a tattooed gangster. And I refuse to believe that Vivi would be anybody's b**ch. On a similar note, I'm more focused on trying to figure out what that is below the girl on the left. Is it that dude's arm? Looks like he has a washer through his bicep. I think we all just need to see the entire image...
-
lol. Well THAT is a sack of goodies, Shari. That I can attest to :)
On seeing the whole image... I'd rather just see the whole image deleted. lol
-
If you say so, Ren. I'll have to take your word for it. It seems, however, the background is on all forums hosted by this site, as well as the color scheme. The whole black, yellow-orange, and grey looks good enough, but the BG really throws it off. They could just put a big watermarked starburst (like the one in their logo) in the background and it woul look just fine.
-
Well, at this comp I'm actually seeing a bit more of the BG than I did before.
The longhorn is actually the torn hat of a scarecrow thinggy with a pitchfork. And to their right stands an elf thinggy with long blond hair and some slinky outfit... :)
Won't be able to post tonight but I'll try to get something up soon. Suggestions of how to better integrate Jade into the story is more than welcome since I'm having some trouble with this.
-
BEL!!! I was just thinking of you! :) ^_^
You'll have one character to notice, perhaps two!
-
Okay... not sure what you mean. I suppose it has something to do with your next post?
-
Quick Note: if you don't want to stare at the terrible forum art, in the lower left is a drop down box you can change to Work Safe mode.
They're supposed to change it back to what it was..
-
Haha, so upon fully zooming out I can see the entire picture. On the right is a demonic scarecrow looking thing with a pitchfork and straw coming out of patched knees and elbows. On the left on the far left is a guy standing in a gold robot body with a steam whistle coming out of his back and wearing glasses and a shortened top hat which is purple and completely clashes with the gold. Below them all is a Orc type thing with big as teeth, green skin, and a horned helmet. Although the fur boots with rope are a nice touch.
I felt the need to share that ^_^
-
Oh, heh. I forgot I could zoom out on the browser. Too bad my type font is about 3pt right now. I can barely make out the letters. Now, I shall give them all names!
Gold Robot Guy: Geco
Loot Bag Guy: Rensha
Brown Hair Lady: SoHee
Armored Orc: Phoenix
Blond Elf Lady: (missing additional female candidates, so...) Drice!
Out of Place Gangster: Belfucious
Evil Scarecrow: Me :)

You could have gone with Mire, but Drice is funnier =D

Lol. I am easily forgotten...I don't post that often. ^-^
