Besides the audience's?

I'm guessing they just outright rip off the ending of Raiders, right?

A combo of that and one other Spielberg movie from that era. Won't spoil which one. Until Tom spoils it on Tuesday, I guess.




(I thought it was OK, btw. By far the worst Indian Jones movie, not even in the same league, but OK just as a goof, like a thrown together reunion album)
I'm warning you with peace and love.

Schindler's List?
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

What was more awful? Indiana Jones sleepwalking through his lines? Or Shia LaBOOF as a tuff guy greaser? Jesus cracker, that was some bad casting.

Also, Indiana Jones has no respect for the dead. For shame!

Yeah, I'm going to brave the mosquitoes at the drive in and see it as a double feature with Iron Man. 7 bucks for those two movies isn't bad, and hey, Iron Man is supposed to be good, so I'll probably get my money's worth. I just want to see this movie and move on.

Whenever Cate Blanchett was on screen, I kept seeing Elina Lowensohn's character from the Gymnast episode of Seinfeld.

I saw Iron Man with Andy from Knoxville yesterday, and really enjoyed it. Robert Downey Jr's believable as an irresponsible alcoholic who cares only about himself (who would of thought?) until he learns important life lessons, and beyond that, I don't want to ruin it for you.

I will probably turn off the radio for half an hour Tuesday when Tom starts talking Indiana Jones, because we are seeing it Wednesday.

I'll be the Indy apologist.

I liked that movie just as much as any of the other Indiana Jones movies...which is to say that I enjoyed watching it a lot. It's not without it's flaws (I'm looking at you  "leboof"...swinging around all Tarzan-like), but none of the Indiana Jones movies are flawless. When compared to the older films it's clear to me that "Crystal Skulls" shares the rhythms, over-the-top action, and goofy sense of humor.

...actually... Now that I think about it, I really liked this movie. 

I wonder if most of this film's criticism comes from people forgetting what the originals were like to watch. In the many years since they were made, the action genre has had so many renovations that the conventions of the Indiana Jones movies end up seeming quaint 15 years down the road.

Yeah, a coupla weeks ago I was flipping through the channels and I settled on the Indy movie with Sean Connery.  I literally snoozed.
