Alla:

Steve, nowhere in the part you quote did Julie say that one has to 
read Bourne books to follow the movies. She said that they diverge 
almost completely from the books except the name and very basic set 
up. So I do not 
understand what are you arguing against. Are you disagreeing with the 
premise that Bourne movies have very little to do with the books? And 
of course nowhere did Julie say that she hates movies.
