Just a quickie:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fucking rocks!

That's all I'll say for now. Pretty self-explanatory but considering as I still haven't written up my thoughts on the equally awesome Iron Man, I don;t know when a full review will be forthcoming.

Peace, Ghani

Which is a plus as far as I'm concerned.

Well, you know I certainly do as well; I do like Last Crusade but there's always a special place in my heart for Temple of Doom. Mola Ram, Short Round, Harry sucking it up while running shirtless...That's the stuff of my fandom! XD

Lucas has said that he'd like to move Mutt into the spotlight and I have no problem with that. You know I'm a Shia fan, but I also just loved the character; I think my favorite scene is the Malt Shop and the subsequent chase.

Okay, how much did you melt when Indy said to Marion, "They weren't you, honey"? My grin was as big as hers is!

And, good Lord I never thought I'd be saying this, but how fantastic was Cate Blanchett?! Yes, I actually just wrote that! But she's so inspired! Colonel Doctor Spalko, a close second to Belloq as my favorite Indy villain! I can't believe I got my fingers to type any of this! Hee! But I'm not too ashamed to eat crow; it's tasty!

Wish I could have seen it with you! Hugs!

Shia did a damn good job...and this is coming from someone who isn't a huge Shia fan.

Yep, I grinned when Indy said to Marion, "They weren't you, honey." It was a nice touch that, even though both of them had moved on and been relatively happy, they never got over each other. And it was cute at the wedding that when the minister said, "You may kiss the bride," Marion handed the minister the bouquet and jumped on Indy.

Cate was really good. Much, much better than she was as Galadriel on Thorazine (though of course, it'd be hard for her to be worse). Anyway -- she was clearly relishing her role. I guess you could say she's the "Darth Maul" of the Indy series -- a baddie who serves their purpose and then croaks, although they're so charismatic you can't help but want to see more of them.
