To coincide with the release of The Bourne Legacy, here is a fun little mashup of the best moments from the Bourne Series – set to the classic 1979 disco hit “Born to be Alive” by Patrick Hernandez.

Word from the Television Critics Association press tour made it clear that Showtime is interested in a ninth season of their serial killer drama Dexter, even if producers and star Michael C. Hall are currently stating that the eighth season of the show will be the last.

He’s also hosted numerous award shows, including the MTV Movie Awards (several times), and, most notably, the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards.
