The Bourne Vacation

After viewing The Bourne Ultimatum, I've come to the conclusion that what Bourne really needs is a vacation. Some time off to relax and rejuvenate. Ultimatum plays out like a typical revenge flick with several of the chase scenes predictable and lengthy enough to warrant some serious nap time. We learn that Bourne feels remorse and wants to discover who he is, why he is doing what he is doing, what was it that made him what he is: um, isn't this exactly what happened in the first two Bourne films? So I suggest, if individuals are to capitalize on the enormous enthusiasm the public has for this franchise, and Bourne is to return, again, he takes a break from his typical soul searching, and, instead, chills out on a beach somewhere with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. Sure he still has to waste a couple of no-good-nics, but throughout, we're treated to death-defying feats of hilarity as Damon and Stiller are continually bested by the cunning and conniving Vaughn.
