Indiana
Watched the new Indiana Jones movie. What can I say? It was weird and NOT at all what I was expecting from an Indiana Jones film. It was certainly entertaining and action packed, but as I watched it, I envisioned this conversation taking place a few years ago...
Lucas (sipping a mai tai by the pool): Hey Steven, wanna make a few million bucks this weekend?"
Spielberg: Sure. Whatcha thinkin'?
Lucas: We haven't done an Indy movie in a while.
Spielberg: Sure. Why not?
Lucas: Hmmm... Harrison's gettin' old. Maybe we need new blood.
Spielberg: Sure. Who?
Lucas: How's about that kid from Transformers? He's wicked cool.
Spielberg: Sure. Call me when ya got a script. I'll direct.
and tah-dah! -- New Indiana flick. (no offense to Greg, who worships the ground they walk on...)
My mood: trying not to give it away, but it was just weird...
Don't read on or you're gonna find out what I really think of the movie (major spoilers!!!)
So WTF was up with those aliens? Please! It's like Indiana Jones meets the X-Files. They could have had dozens of better ideas. Hell, I could have had dozens of better ideas. Aliens! I should have known, they would extend into outer space. At least they didn't rescue E.T. Everything else in the movie was okay. I just couldn't get past the alien thing. The race to the kingdom was wicked cool.
