I just saw Indy last night and i really liked it! I have never been a huge fan of the first three although i guess that's an odd thing to say as i saw them for the first time this year and feel asleep through most of them lol

I totally agree with your assessment. The last 40 minutes were the worst of it where it just got too Spielburg for my taste. Most of the people I were with were all for it. I found myself wibbling wishing for a Temple of Doom or even a Last Crusade ending (which gets slagged on more than it deserves). :( Disappointing although the beginning and middle rocked pretty hard.

gosh, it was neat having a swell dame there to share that soda pop with - i never would have finished it by myself.

Actually I thought the Red Scare thing was totally relevant, in light of the Patriot Act - just replace "commie" with "terrorist." Then again, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but that sounds like about what I was expecting. Except for maybe the aliens. I don't know that I was expecting aliens. I think I'll still go see it for nostalgia's sake or whatever you want to call it, though. One of my friends saw it on opening night, and wrote a long blog post expressing her displeasure with the phallic imagery and heteronormativity evident in the film. It left me thinking, "Dude...it's Indiana Jones. When a character covers his crotch to prevent getting hit there, it isn't pro-procreation propaganda. It's because getting hit in the junk hurts."
