Indiana Jones and the plot device that hardly even matters . . .

Just finished watching the new Indiana Jones movie.
Spoilers below . . .

The good –

The first scene with Indy and Marion. When Indy yells at her about Mutt’s education I laughed out loud. Harrison Ford is damn funny.
Shia Le Whatever the hell his name is. He is very good throughout the whole film. He is good in
everything actually. He was even very funny hosting SNL . . .
I like that the name he gave himself is MUTT seeing as Indiana named himself after the dog.
I love the scene when Mutt tosses Indy the snake . . . really very funny.
The alien looks like he could be related to the Close Encounters Alien . . . Cool !
The moment you think Mutt is about to put on the hat . . .

The bad –

The refrigerator. Sorry. It was stupid.
All the CGI . . . good GOD Mr. Lucas – STOP. STOP. STOP. A thousand stunt men IMPLORE YOU.
The villain – You bother to get Cate Blanchett and THIS is what you do with her? She must feel the same way; I finally make a Spielberg movie and THIS is what they do with me ?

The retarded –

The Monkey scene . . . WTF was that all about? Jumpin’ Jehusiphats Was THAT Retarded or WHAT? Did they drop acid writing this movie?
Almost every narrow escape. Enough already with the cartoon capers. . . the boat/truck going off the cliff into the tree? Please. Close calls do not have to be “cute”, they can just be CLOSE.
The wedding. THAT was the last scene? THAT is the last time we see Indiana Jones? At his wedding? WTF? Who was this movie made for? Did they have NO idea how to end this movie????

Raiders – Ark gets hidden in a spooky warehouse…
Temple of Doom – Indy and Company share a good laugh after saving the village and freeing the slave children…
Last crusade – Indy and company ride off into the sunset . . .
Krystal Skull – A flat emotionless wedding we didn’t need to see full of characters we have no interest in . . .

Huh?

Wii Succeed!

SUCCESS !!!!

My daughter has the Wii Fit madness, so I told her we could get up at 7 am today to try and hunt one down . . .

Target Bayshore – Nope, Walmart Massapequa – Nope, Target Huntington – Nope…

Toys R Us – Why they had a stack half the way to the ceiling !

BUT – They were all pre-orders . . .

So I politely asked, “Why don’t you keep them in the back where they won’t dash the hopes of 7 year olds hungry to become virtual Yoga masters? ”

And the guy behind the counter said – “Yeah that’s what I told the manager, but he made me put them here.”

And my kid drops the lip and does that face that makes you wonder if one of her pets was just hit by a tractor – and the guy behind the counter says . . .

“You know what – this thing has been here for a week now. If they wanted it so bad, they would have picked it up already. Probably gonna end up on F****ing Ebay for like 200 bucks.”

And then he sold me one.

And now my kid is literally running around Princess Peach’s castle.

This thing is pretty cool . . .

Thanks Guy at Toys R Us.
