There’s some kind of Jason Bourne junket in Las Vegas this weekend, but apparently only for TV/radio types. Even without a sit-down I wanted to attend one of the screenings, which will presumably happen on Friday and Saturday evenings. I wouldn’t have flown but driven there. Vegas in the blazing, boiling heat can be a trip. Maybe crash at the Boulder Dam Hotel. Los Angeles press screenings will begin next week. The film opens on 7.29.
