Movies for Guys

Thanks to the Rake Magazine, I will get to prescreen the new Bourne movie. They wanted to know my favorite movie chase scene. I told them the one from Bullitt, although Gone in 60 seconds (1974) had a good one too that came in a close second. Funny, they all involved a Mustang. Really, the Bullitt chase scene was boring by todays standards, but it looked real. I could imagine driving a 1968 Mustang GT 390 all over while chasing another car. Everything moved at a real pace. Too many modern scenes have too many things going on and have impossible stunts. That, and as a guy, you can't pick a new movie with out looking like you have no class. Its the same as saying EP1 was the best Star Wars due to the awesome CGI.

On an odd note, April tipped me off to the contest but did not get a ticket conformation email.

I may send her to the movie instead.

*Update*
I ended up going to the movie. I got the last seat in the house. I got to sit in the far bottom corner. April and I will have to go see it where I can sit more near the center.
