Can’t Wait For Indy
I am pumped for this coming weekend. The new Indiana Jones movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is coming out and I can’t wait. I am an Indy fan from way back. Growing up I saw the movies, read the adaptations and read the comic books. He was up there with my other heroes; Batman, James Bond, and Mike Hammer (I started reading Mickey Spillane in High School, talk about being an 80’s teenage anachronism). It has been getting both good and bad reviews so far but as the headline at CNN.com puts it, the movie is critic proof. I am not going to make the mistake I made with the first Star Wars prequel and expect too much from this installment. I am not expecting the second coming, but I am looking for the same old, same old. As long as there are some fun serial inspired action scenes mixed with funny wisecracking one liners and a raided tomb, I’m happy. Most importantly Indy can’t actually get the prize at the end either, his perpetual underdog status is his most appealing trait.
Indiana Jones is already showing here in our country and I’m wondering if I’ll go and watch it. I haven’t seen any of the past movies and the comic book, thus, the reason of the hesitation.
for some reason i keep thinking Cate Blanchett is going to speak English with a German accent in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull though she’s supposed to be Russian
