The Weekend Random: Indiana Jones

I didn’t know Indiana Jones before except that he was a really cool guy, they say. I’m just 20 years old, so I got really curious about the 4th movie. so, I decided to watch it on opening day. I was one of the very first people who watched it here in Manila. The 12-hour differential from New York also makes me one of the first few in the world! Ha, whatever.

I’ll skip the movie review part. For me, it was all about having fun, and it was all worth the money. You can read that at Rotten Tomatoes and see why they gave it a 79%. A movie critic in his review also pointed out the lacking elements in the story .

Well, for young people like me who weren’t yet alive to see the other 3 films onscreen, Mentalfloss, my favorite blogsite, has this quick checklist of Indiana Jones facts, plus a bonus quiz that will surely make any Indy fan giddy and happy. In the same way, I found this exhaustive narrative of the Indy series at clickthecity.

I must say though, Cate Blanchett was really good at her role. Makes me want to change my accent into hers, just for kicks.

The plot on psychic warfare reminds me most vividly of Yuri’s Revenge when I was still in high school. Long live Stalin! and Harrison Ford, too!
