Dun da dun daaa…

Wow, it has been a while hasn’t it? See how good I am at continual scheduled things? Pretty bad, but that isn’t the point today.

Rather, my point is to herald the coming of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the first Indy movie in 19 freaking years! The last one came out in 1989, really, that was before I was even born. This is most of the reason why I am so excited, because it is the only one I am alive to see in theaters. George Lucas, who in his old age, has become incredibly crazy and senile, has the potential to have ruined this movie (see Star Wars Episodes I-III) but I am praying that Steven Spielberg has prevented him from doing anything too retarded. Luckily, George was not allowed to write the screenplay or direct, which are two things he is amazingly bad at doing. (Once again, see Episodes I-III) Back on the positive side, the elderly Harrison Ford is still awesome and apparently did all of the stunts they would allow him to. Also, Karen Allen is returning as Marion Ravenwood, the only good Indy girl. Yeah, Elsa was alright but she was a Nazi. Plus, she died at the end of Last Crusade. I’ve heard some comments that there are too many computerized effects, and while I haven’t seen the movie yet to judge for myself, I personally feel that this would definitely be a detriment to the film as the original movies were characterized by the use of old-style stunts as opposed to fancy tech-no-lo-gy.

I will be at Movieland in downtown Salem on Wednesday evening in full Indy gear eagerly waiting for the show.

Jordan Keagle is in it for the fortune and glory.
