   Get your timed mute buttons ready, folks, we're about to do a #monsterdon.

     For #monsterdon, perhaps the phrase for the end should be “And that's a wreck”

     #monsterdon Credit where it's due, Marian landed that shot right in the center of mass in an extremely stressful situation.

     No explanation for why she only had a single dress on for the entire duration of the movie but her firearms work passed muster.

     #monsterdon "If I... change... that's the only thing that can keep me from killing someone else."

     Also the silver-handled stick I just spent the last scene bellowing about. That's another thing. So two things.

     And hopefully also these chains? OK so three things. But those three things are the only things that can keep me from killing someone else!

     #monsterdon Real talk for a second: the lighting and the shakycam in these scene are absolutely terrible, but unlike every one of the Bourne movies you can still see what is actually happening.

     (It's not GOOD of course but you can see what it is.)

     #monsterdon I tell you what, if I come through this movie watching with nothing more than one new strategy for escaping interminable meetings, it will have been worthwhile.

     #monsterdon WHAT WAS THAT SCENE

     Was that a morgue!? Was it an operating theatre!? In the basement of a power station? Which was under the white house situation room!??

     what is GOING ON

     #monsterdon Is this doctor trying to give the president the brush-off?

     ...it is odd how much of this movie takes place in restrooms.

     (That circular foot-operated handwashing station brings me back to ancient school washrooms from the early 80s.)

     #monsterdon I one hundred percent expected the president to get a bowling ball in the face just then. To be honest, the way this scene is going, it might still happen. Are these supposed to be high *squints at a sheaf of papers* jinks?

     #monsterdon "I think your father is a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ." _leans in for a kiss_ "I'm engaged to be married, Jack."

     Yeah, that is about the correct response to a line like that.

     #monsterdon Giselle looks a little like Lambert from Alien in this shot where she's being threatened by that big dog.

     Now is an appropriate time to throw your hands in the air, overflowing popcorn bucket be damned, and scream at the top of your lungs until the neighbours bang their ceiling with a broom handle, as if your femur is being gnawed on by a werewolf

     ...
