For those fans of Matt Damon/Jason Bourne, keep your eyes peeled for the third in the "Bourne" series.  I don't know if anyone's heard about this, but I believe it should be out in October if I'm not mistaken.

Didn't they just come out with one of these flicks?  I'm kinda sick of seeing these kind of movies.  I'm actually sick of a lot of stuff being released in todays day and age.

October?  Are you sure?  The last time I checked, it was going to be released in 2006, but that was a while back.  But I'm probably wrong as usual.

No, could be me hearing things wrong.  You're likely right, Rob.

No, don't say I'm right.  Bad things happen when people say I'm right.

I picked up the book from B&N but I didn't know it was coming out in Oct.  I wouldn't have bought it.  ARG!

A good source on this is IMDB.  http://www.imdb.com.  I've made the mistake of not going first to back up my info.  Ugh, I'm such a moron.  Guess that's why this is aptly titled a "rumor" section.

I loved the first 2 and i think the 3rd will be no exception. The action scenes in previous movies are fantastic. I think they will also bring out the 4th book in the sereis, the Bourne Legacy i think.

I'm looking forward to this one. I was over this genre until The Bourne Identity hit the scene. The first two films in this series were outstanding. Even though they were made on huge budgets they had an edge to them that made them look and feel independent. Matt Damon's in red hot form at the moment too. Is it safe to say he's become the Harrison Ford of his generation?

What do you guys like the most: Bourne, Mission Impossible or Bond?

Personally I prefer the Bourne movies; I don't care much for the other two. Although I did like the earlier Bond movies, I lost interest after the Roger Moore era.

Jack Bauer can kick all these guys asses, but out of the 3 it's bond.  I saw this one thing where it was Jack VS James VS Jason(all J's), and the result was is if Jack and James ever fought the world would explode and Jason would be killed in the blast.

Still this movie looks sweet so I'll be there opening weekend :)

I am with you on that, Chris.

I am definitely going to check out the Bourne Ultimatum, and I agree, the first two films were good. I'd classify the Bourne Identity as 'excellent', and the Bourne Supremacy as 'very good'.

Not too sure about the Damon and Ford comment though. I find it very hard to compare the two either acting-wise or movies-wise.

I was never a big fan of the Mission Impossible movies, and with regards to Bond we see eye to eye again: lost all interest after the Moore era. So Bourne wins it for me.

I guess I was thinking about the similarities between Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games.) because they were both pitted against corrupt government officials, so the story lines seemed similar. I also think Damon is probably as big a star as Ford was when he was in his prime.
