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.

I didn't mind the aliens so much. The previous movies all dealt with religious legends that turned out to be true in one way or another, so why not legends about aliens becoming true? It still dealt with an archaeological mystery that turned out to have pseudo-supernatural elements to it. I guess it is a bit too scifi, though. Indiana Jones does seem more fantasy-adventure to me.

I'm glad they had him get hitched to Marion. Out of all the Jones girls, she was the best. Although, she can get annoying with her constant exclamations of "get your hands off me!!" and not being able to solve that problem for herself.

They should have brought back Sean Connery! But I was pleased that they gave him a nod at least.
