i watched indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull yesterday with marlon, shrenik and shivaani. i gasped when cate blanchett first appeared onscreen.
and for the first time, it wasn't because she was so fabulous -- it was because she was edna mode!
other than that, the movie was not bad at all -- after i spent the first fifteen minutes of running time searching harrison ford's face for signs of botox. i appreciated all the classic indy trademarks -- campy villain, gruesome creatures, overplayed deaths, puzzle-solving, escape attempts with attempts at humor, massive destruction, grand myth (in this case rather bizarre and cross-bred with another george lucas franchise).
i'm kind of glad the fedora stays with ford for now. i love shia labeouf, but he isn't quite the swashbuckling adventurer type to pass the torch to. remember the young indiana jones chronicles on tv? that guy was so much hotter; too bad he was about a decade too early for the sequel.
