The Bourne Ultimatum and James Bond

First Bond, becuase i realy care so much more and there is actualy some sort of information on it. first, james bond is not blond. Never has been, shouldnt ever be. Second, i read the book i was so pysced for this movie ( nov 17). It doesnt look anything like the book. Granted the book was a real as a James Bond book could be so it was kinda boring, and who wants to be boring? Well we'll see. If they screw it up i'll be mad, very mad.
Second the Bourne Ultimantum. I love the series. Its very cool. Its as real to life as a spy movie is going to get. The first two were realy good. I tried to read the books but they were all a bazillion pages long so no can do. Word on the street is that they only used the charecter not the story becuase it was to cold warish. Which means their going to be making it all up for the third one. Good, bad. Good because they did a pretty dang good job with the other two. Bad because they could realy screw up a great series.
Ok on to my mildy informed article on spying. Good material on said subject are CIA by Tom Clancy, Spy Dust and Master of Disguise by Tony Medez. Great books. The first one is a little dry, by Tony's ones are realy good. Spying my dears, unfortunatly does not envolve hot chicks, fast cars, and lots of explosions, unless you screw up. Then you may be an explosion. Its actualy a lot of boring stuff, like reading newspapers, watching the finacial markets and maybe taking pictures of a loose document now and then. Off course you have the intense stuff, like bugging peoples rooms, stealing computer files, and taking pictures of documents ( nottice i did not say steal, spy's do not steal things that will be missed, hense they take a lot of pictures), course if you've got a good source of humit ( human intel) you may have to work a dead drop. But its not like the cold war anymore when you used to go joging and some kgb guy would pop out of the coffee shop behind you and jog after you in his suit. There's still some dangerous places out there off course. I'm guessing its no fun to be a agent in sudan ( good book on that Chasing the Jackyl) , or iraq or afganistan. Its probably not that rough spying on our friends anymore, like russia, china might be a little bit tricky though. Well thats my serious post. Hope it was informative as well as interesting.
