— Dave in Texas SO! Ace ain't the only guy around here that can give you a decent review of the flicks and stuff. I actually went out tonight and saw this thing and had dinner afterward so there.
Ok, actually he is the only one between the two of us that can give you a decent review. This one is worth a quarter or so.
Indiana Jones and the uh, Something Skull.
Yeah, it makes that kind of impression on you.
Some a lot of (sorry), complete spoilers, so, you know...
Short version. Eh.
Long version. Action scenes decent enough but somewhat contrived. Drama between Indy and Marion: not there. Drama between Indy and his newfound son: not there. Drama between Indy and Evil Russky chick: Not there. Hell I think his best scene was with a monkey.
Plot: Goofy.
Dialogue: It sounds like I wrote it.
CGI: Expensive as all hell.
It's not that it sucked, per se, it's just that we wanted it to be, you know. Good.
It will make a bazillion dollars.

Don't worry, I'll make up for it with the sequel: Indiana Jones and The Search For More Money.

After that, it's "Indiana Jones and the Moisturizer of Pain." Shia La Douche is back in action again, as Harrison Ford shows up for a three second cameo. Shia and co-star Calista Flockhart, search for the legendary Moisturizer of Pain, to stop villain Ashton Kutcher from turning every man in America into a metrosexual man-boy who watches Home and Garden TV. The climactic battle in the perfume counter is not to be missed, a CGI extravaganza.

Hey Dave,
Where are you in Texas? Was just wondering if you saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse and, more to the point, if consuming beer during the film would help.

I live between Austin and Waco. Have been to the Alamo several times though.
And yes, I should have consumed alcohol before seeing this.

I felt dirty after I watched it. Kinda like the mistress peeping in on her lover while he is sharing Christmas with the wife and kids. Like, the joke is on us, the smucks who really wanted a nice Indy movie, but got screwed instead.
$400 million dollars and they couldn't make a real crystal skull? Or at least make it heavy plastic?
Here is a spoiler for you......, the other Indy movies had him doing incredible things, but this one had a jeep full of people, one of them in a trance holding a burlap sack, going over not one but THREE waterfalls that were bigger than Niagra and coming out INSIDE THE JEEP! Duh.
We really need to get those ancient builders secrets because they have figured out that a little sand and some balancing of stone can go poof after 5 centuries, while my back door still gets stuck on rainy days.
See it, but take a shower afterwards.

I snuck out of the office on Tuesday afternoon to go see it. Man, was it lame! I mean bad, very bad. It was 'SciFi channel original movie' bad. I can't believe that after all this time, this is what Lucas and Spielberg come up with.
Shia's character was contrived. Allen's return was contrived. Ford and Allen look very old and have zero chemistry. A flaccid plot. You are left with the desire to see them all die horribly and for the Commies to win. It was like one of those crappy Allen Quartermain flicks.
Speaking of crap, the next installment of the Mummy is coming out soon. It will probably be better than this Indy.
I want my 8 bucks back so I can go see Iron Man again. Did anybody see the latest Narnia yet?

Karen Allen looked way more happier to be in a decent movie than to see Indy.
And who made the casting call on Shia? Yeah that's right we need a nerdy jewish kid to play a 50's greaser.
Ford seemed to be in his own little world and everything else around him seemed fake. It's like all the actors were thinking look at me I'm in an Indiana Jones movie. Only Hurt looks like he's not distracted.

Yawn. Hollywood out of ideas, news at 11.
Ace should peddle a script about a reclusive blogger who gets wasted and kills hobos at night. It could be like American Psycho with an Ewok lead character.

It's after 12 noon, EST, and not a moron blogger in sight. I think it's time to ration the valu-rite.

Posted by: Dave in TexasI'm on the north shore of Lake Travis northwest of Austin. I have a little coffee shop on FM 1431, if you're ever out this way, stop in. And yes, we serve lattes.

By the way, I was the coolest Dad in theater after reading here that we should sit all the way through the credits at Iron Man. Thanks morons!
