So, I saw two very confusing things today.
One was Stolen Earth.
The other was Indiana Jones 4. Spoilers for it below.
First off. How can it be an Indy movie if the name Indiana is not said ONCE in the entire movie???
Stereotypical aliens who are somehow also Time Lords inspired the Maya Empire in Peru with their Crystal Skulls??? My brain just fell out my ear on how much is wrong in that sentence.
An I actually thought they were going to *try* to be somewhat scientifically accurate when they started throwng in jokes about Gordon V. Childe and diffusionism.
Ah... perhaps I should have been warned by Indy surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge.
Or the bit where random monkeys help Indy and what's his name, little Indy, swings through the vines Tarzan style (a friend of mine proved it's impossible to do that in Belize)
Or... oooo. the other Indy movies at least tried to make sense. This one just annoyed me. Mostly because I spent 17 bucks on it.
My favourite part was when Indy pointed to a painting done in lovely tones of blue and says "look, ochre. They were sun worshippers"
Rrrrright.

I watch the first half hour of Indy and walked out. I end up seeing the ending. The part where the ladies eyes burn out and when Indy gets married.

My dad and little sisters went to go see it a few weeks ago, but I didn't really feel like spending so much money so I saw Spiderwick Chronicles at the dollar theatre instead.

I say IJ movies are just nice thrill rides, there to eat popcorn to. Sense is irrelevant.

Ah, but the first three have a sense of logic to their madness and some unlying depth. This fourth one was just bad and annoying.
