I realized I never did an actual post about the Indiana Jones movie. So here be it!


The opening sequence was silly, even for an Indy flick. The atom bomb and the fridge [shakes head]

Why did Mutt and Indy go back to Indy's house after being chased all over town by the KGB?

Ugh!! Man eating ants! But it was nice they sent Indy's hat back for the wedding [weg]

Okay, aliens. Spielberg wanting to revisit CEOTTK and ET no doubt [g]

Hey! That was my plot device from 'I Remember You Not Fondly'!! Interdimensional alien device created to seek out knowledge. Pffft! I should be writing movies [g]

Way back when details of the movie came out, I said that if they went for the cliche of making the kid the long lost son Indy never knew he had, I would scream. So yes, there was screaming. I mean, come on! And it's sad too. Indy was denied seeing his son grow up, Mutt was denied having a father growing up. What a cheat that was.

Who else was expecting piranhas at some point?

Twenty years late, but at least they finally got married!

I'm not sure if it was on purpose, or coincidence, but Indy seemed to have a lot of the mannerisms/personality of his father in the beginning of the movie.

I liked how the kid kept combing his hair.

Cate Blanchett was interesting, especially with the hair colour.

Overall, I enjoyed it, especially when I was afraid it was going to be a train wreck like the recent batch of Star Wars movies. It was better than Temple of Doom, other than the opening sequence I'll definitely get the DVD when it comes out.

was Indy in the army and a spy in the other movies? When did that happen? I was so confused.

No, all that happened post Last Crusade which was set just before WWII started. So it was never in any of the movies, just what he did between the last one and this one.

okay, thanks. I couldn't remember when Last Crusade happened. But... there were Nazis in the first flick. Gah. I should go look at a timeline, but I'm not sure I care.

A Nazi timeline (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERchron.htm)

I think Last Crusade must have been set in 38 or early 39 since Austria was made a part of the Reich in the spring of that year, and there was a Nazi presence at the castle his dad was being held at.
