You’re my best friend, Indy!

In case you don’t remember, the title of this post is taken from the awesome little Chinese kid from Temple of Doom.
As a disclaimer, I don’t mean to spoil anything here, but I might, so you may want to just stop reading now. We watched the new Indiana Jones last night, and it was awesome. Yes, I looked up crystal skulls on wikipedia before going, so I had a vague idea of the background info going into the movie. So that’s good.
In terms of all-time rankings, I would rank it in the order of Last Crusade, Crystal Skull, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and then, much further down the list, Temple of Doom. The reason Last Crusade was so good for me was the witty father-son banter. You all know I love rapid-fire wit. I think this was pretty much just duplicated in Crystal Skull — that I found to be both a plus and a minus. A plus because it’s winning humor. A minus because I expected them to be more creative and go above and beyond.
Also a minus is that I was disappointed in the antagonist chick. First of all, she was not hot. So, that is a problem. But also, I don’t think she played her role very well either. Sometimes she looked like she was having a change of heart kind of situation, or that we were supposed to sympathize with her or something, but it was then clear that that’s not what the movie was going for at all.
Well, enough of that. Back to UVA Lax! Also, have you guys ever watched lax on tv? Warrior commercials are hilarious.
