Indiana Jones - Page 3

Cloud · 05-22-2008, 10:02 AM

Daughter No. 1 also has her tickets and will be going tonight.

I prefer to go when a little less crowded.

The review buzz is it's so-so. I'm going anyway! (sticks out tongue at reviewers)

I'm gonna let a little surly in:

I HATED the third Indiana Jones. I left before it was over. Maybe I'll like this one better...but I'll be waiting for DVD.

I usually watch stuff on DVD myself, but I think this will be better in a theater with an excited audience and all that action on the big screen. I understand it doesn't really have a good plot, and the only thing worth seeing is the action.

Shawnee123 · 05-22-2008, 10:21 AM

I know. I really wish I could get into action flicks, but I normally don't anymore.

I remember seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark with this really dreamy guy from a neighboring HS that I couldn't believe I was dating...and I liked THAT.

I think I'm just too stuffy.

I loved it!
It's not a classic film. I have no desire to go and see it agaim immediately. But I will buy the DVD.

I didn't feel it flagged in the middle, in fact my only complaints would be about my fellow cinemagoers (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!) but that's pretty much par for the course.

Exciting, funny, a few genuinely spooky bits (for a 12a) less gore than previous films - just a jolly good blockbuster.

I took lil lookout to see this yesterday. he enjoyed it. I didn't think it was very good though. I really really wanted to like it. I like the over the top stunts and schticks from the earlier three movies but some of the crap in this movie was just too much. I mean really - a guy gets hit in the balls joke... really? And the refridgerator scene. grrr.

I saw it last night, and liked it. Sure, some parts were over the top, and the plot was a little thin, but it was a very fun movie. Suspend your disbelief for a moment and just go with it. It's good.

This kinda sums it up for me:

Hmmmm.
Fair point, but a little cynical.

And gross misue of the apostrophe in monkey's.

But he got it correct twice. The capitalization of "Monkey" seems to follow no rules either.

I just looked up Kate Capshaw (AKA annoying blond), and read some interesting trivia about her - not only did she beat out 120 other actresses for her role in Temple of Doom, but she met future husband Steven Spielberg while filming it.

Cloud · 05-27-2008, 06:27 PM

yeah, Mrs. S. The screamer. You didn't know that?

Also known as "pink eye," a bacterial infection that is usually mild and clears up in a few days with antibiotics. Highly contagious because of the desire to rub at the eye, but I've never heard of a case of pink eye that kept anyone out of work for more than a week or two, at most.

Saw Indy IV yesterday. The reviews I've read have been reasonably fair, but fortunately, I am not plagued by the intense desire to have every cinematic experience be either high art nor top its ancestors with each sequel. That said, I enjoyed the hell out of it, especially the latter 1/2. I will say that it seemed to me that Harrison Ford seemed to have difficulty channeling Indy until the last 1/3 of the film. The first 2/3's Indy seemed to be a bit of a "worn" character, as in worn like a set of clothes. Only in the last 1/3 did Ford seem to finally be the Indy of old. I believe that part of that was him trying to portray Indy's age and weariness, but it just didn't resonate that way.

All said, I liked it, I was entertained, I did not feel cheated out of my money paid to see it, and I will buy the DVD. It was wonderful to see Karen Allen, who, despite being a bit thicker, is still a hottie in my book.

Saw it while on vacation in NJ with my family. We hated it.
