Never Mind Indy... Here's the Shiznit

filed under: , ,

I’m a Spielberg fan to death, but hardly an Indiana Jones fan at all. I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark at 10 years old, Temple of Doom at 13 (when I shoulda been seeing Wild Style) and The Last Crusade at 18, with my parents and/or pops every single time. Raidersgot me excited about my fifth grade social studies class for about two days. I’ll get around to seeing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sometime next week, but part of me hopes it bombs, considering the weak plot and how Spielberg and George Lucas were apparantly asleep at the wheel.

So forget Indy; if you’re in Paris now into the summertime, the following films are interesting over at the Cinémathèque Française over the next three months:

The Graduate – June 1
Last Tango in Paris – June 19
The Dreamers – June 22
Alphaville – July 7
The Wizard of Oz – July 16
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial – July 23
Superman – July 30

I’d happily trade INDY for Paris any day.

hey rk… so i saw ‘crystal skull’ (of course), and it was what i expected from an indiana jones film. it was fine for what it’s supposed to be.

i think too that people forget: indy is supposed to recall those B-film serial adventure stories that (while they hold a soft spot for baby boomers like lucas and spielberg) were never good films to begin with, re: plot and acting.

i saw it yesterday, actually. i was not impressed. usually i’m a huge fan of the action/adventure genre, but this sequel was so disappointing. perhaps i was too young to really appreciate plot during the earlier runs of the movie. so, yea, i’ll give this one a big yawn and 2 thumbs down. lol :-)

speaking of action/adventure, here’s hoping they got the hulk movie a little more on point this time around, rk…
