Indiana Jones (Number Thirty-Six Or So)

We saw Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull or whatever it is called.
Two hours of action with a 65-year-old, or so, Harrison Ford.
I fell asleep for half an hour and when I woke up they were still somewhere in a forest trying to bring back to its original place a plastic skull, which we were supposed to believe as a crystal skull.

It is a well-done movie, the crew is a never-ending list of animators, stunts and experts in special effects, a chain of professionals which ended up doing their job very well and make tons of money.

Still, where is the story? I left the movie theater exhausted.
I felt weird, as if I was taking away nothing with me.

But this is me.

My son is DYING to see it ... he went to see Iron Man saturday with a friend and said (I'm quoting): "The best movie ever made!" He's almost 13...
I'll probably skip Indiana Jones then and let father and son bond together over a pound of popcorn... what do you think of the second Narnia? Is it worth the $$? We lately watch movies through netflix... that's one thing that got really hard doing with kids (besides travelling, sex, going out to dinner, etc.): going to the movies!! Enjoy till it last (I'm referring to your other blog...)...

@dancin fool:e' la panchina che sta nel canyon vicino casa. Mi ci sono seduta, yes.

@moky: I did not see the second Narnia, I am sorry.
I think you should let your son and your husband see Indiana Jones together and share a big portion of buttery (?) popcorn. :)

Hi Vale, I felt just the same. I saw it because a dear friend invited me and we had dinner together before the movie.
The dinner was great and my stomach was full, but when I left the theater I felt so empty and dry. This , by the way, wasn't some kind of emotional reaction to the movie

@marta: last night I watched Saturno Contro by Ferzan Opzetek (?) and I liked it a lot.
