Ass, Jack...Ass

Matt Damon, of the lame Bourne spy series spouts off against James Bond. (link)

Bond is "an imperialist and he's a misogynist. He kills people and laughs and sips martinis and wisecracks about it," Damon, 36, told The Associated Press in an interview.
Take it easy there tiger.

Paul Greengrass, Damon's director on Universal's "Bourne Ultimatum" and its 2004 predecessor, "The Bourne Supremacy," agreed that Bond is a relic from a different era.

"He's an insider. He likes being a secret agent. He worships at the altar of technology. He loves his gadgets. And he embodies this whole set of misogynistic values," Greengrass said. "He likes violence. That's part of the appeal of the character. He has no guilt. He's essentially an imperial adventurer of a particularly English sort.
Meanwhile, every frickin' entry in the Bourne series goes like this...Bourne is suddenly and inexpictably attacked in public, he fights his way out using over rehearsed Hollywood karate tricks, he figures out that his old CIA bosses are after him, he calls them on the phone to threaten them, he crashes a car, explosions, the end.
