Just how many times can a man watch The Bourne Identity?

[nevergooglebrandybutter]

DH loves a repeat and this bloody film is no exception.

AIBU to think that there has to be a limit somewhere?

[Fcukfifa]

I feel your pain, dh watches pirates of the Caribbean (any one of them) whenever they are on, I must have seen them all dozens of time and still don't understand the plot or who's who and never want to!

[Lagoonablue]

I have never seen a Bourne film all the way through in one sitting. Have seen bits at different times. I watched some tonight just to keep the theme going.

[nulgirl]

My dh is the same with Olympus has fallen. Is he expecting the ending to change after the twentieth viewing? He gets narked when I point out that it has the same plot as about a thousand other action films too - Cliffhanger set in the White House.

For a bit of variety I only listened to the soundtrack from the next room this evening.

Boff, Bush, Bash, Pow.....

[Showy]

I could watch Bourne all day on repeat. With a brief pause to watch Die Hard.

[PhoebeMcPeePee]

Oh Christ alive I'm with you on this (although it's better than any one of the many many many James Bond films for the millionth time )

[Davros]

Ditto showy followed by Taken

[florentina1]

Bourne Identity, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, James Fucking Bond.

DH knows just how annoying I find it and has started announcing in the ad breaks, 'you know there are just so many levels to the plot you see something different every time' in a sarcastic manner.

[squoosh]

I love the Bourne trilogy (I ignore that awful non Matt Damon one). And apparently they're making another one. Huzzah Op, huzzah!

[squoosh]

Olympus Has Fallen was awful though. Die Hard without the humour or tension, or dialogue....or plot. Gerard Butler may be the worst movie star of ALL time.

[SisterMoonshine]

So the second one is on tonight. But I can't see the third one anywhere.

I like the Bourne repeats.
DH likes the Oceans Eleven one.
There's always one of them on somewhere.

[Showy]

The third Bourne was on the other day.

Another Bourne you say? Thrice huzzah.

I watched all of the Indiana Jones films over Christmas too. Swap husbands? My dh has to watch romcom crap alone atm.

[nevergooglebrandybutter]

ha, husband swap. ok but he better like pretty woman.

[PesoPenguin]

DH is exactly the same... And also randomly with Coyote Ugly! I've never stayed awake during a full Bourne film so have no idea what the plot is.

[Davros]

Pretty Woman is dire, give me Bourne any day. I wonder if the new one will be Matt Damon and Paul gringras?

[Fanjango]

You lot have it easy! My DP watches the endless reruns of Heartbeat. No you didn't read that wrong. Arrggghh

[Fanjango]

And yes. He watched bloody boune tonight for the umpteenth time

[squoosh]

Good Lord!

I'd find it easier to accept that my partner had a fondness for watching snuff movies than...........H...H.....Hea....Heartb.......Heartbeat!

[nevergooglebrandybutter]

hahahahahaha heartbeat!!!!

wow!

[DustBunnyFarmer]

I tend to re-watch the Bourne films when they are on, though I've seen them all many times. I'm rather fond of Matt Damon. The non-Matt one wasn't too bad either.

Likewise, the Hunger Games and (against all reason) the Twilight films. I don't even fancy any of the characters in the Twilight ones and the books were dire.

DH is a walking cliche, in that he likes the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Back to the Future films and will re-watch as & when. I walked out of the cinema once part way through one of the new Star Wars films when I realised it was a bank holiday (not a Sunday) and the shops were still open, so we are not on the same page on this at all.

This is definitely one of those things where a temporary husband swap would be desirable.
