Excellent Matt Damon/Gene Hackman parallel! But yeah, Hackman is about
100 times better an actor...compare "The Conversation" with that new
crappy CIA film with Matt Damon...oh, I'm sorry, there is no comparison!

yes, and the Bourne movie with The French Connection ... which made me think
of Hackman's character in The Unforgiven in a different way, (I saw
Unforgiven before I got around to seeing French Connection) as being a
commentary on Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle, just as Clint Eastwood's
character was a reference to iconic Eastwood characters ...
PG:
I think we
decided that film is a new milestone in "you know everything that will
happen before it happens"...
SL:
I like to refer to those as "dolphin moments" (named after the scene in
Titanic ... where the dolphins appear on cue] - it would be obvious and a
total cliché for [x] to happen, and then it does ...
