"You can always depend on the ol' spy fucker."

I would like to officially retract my initial apprehension at Spy/War week. So far I am loving it! I was kind of dreading Three Days of the Condor, because I thought it was another one of Brandon's 70s manly movies, but it turned out to be a fun, twisty spy tale. As with many movies from that era, a lot of it seemed quite dated, which is a bit distracting in some parts, especially the laughable "sex" scene. We could not stop giggling at the artsy direction with the random elbow or knee, then Faye Dunaway just moving her head back and forth. I said at the end of all this we should do a list of awards for the movies we watch, and this one would be a front runner for most ridiculous sex scene. (Revolutionary Road would be in second place.) We enjoyed the storyline, and the chemistry between Robert Redford and Dunaway was great. There were a lot of suspenseful moments, as well as a lot of humor, which is a great combination. However, I found myself feeling like a real asshole because I spent most of the movie thinking about what a great remake it would be, as perhaps a Ryan Reynolds/Scarlett Johanson vehicle. I HATE the fact that every single good movie or tv show is being remade, so yea - asshole.
