Two days until my computer is back.
Two days.
Two days.
...I hope all my stuff is still there... keep your fingers crossed for me...
:(
Okay, now let's talk movies.
So, when I want to see an action movie, you know, with a man and a whip inevitably falling into a pit of snakes and fighting on top of trains in between teaching classes, I usually seek out a good old Indiana Jones movie.
When I want to watch a movie about aliens I pick up Alien vs. Predator or turn on the Sci-Fi channel.
You see, in my own very humble opinion, it is the inherent right of any movie bearing the title Indiana Jones to be automatically considered awesome, especially by those of us who enjoy our adventures totally over the top and involving fight scenes including whips and someone eventually falling into a pit of snake. Similarly, it is almost expected for any movie that can be categorized under the 'alien' genre to be laughably bad. (Sorry, guys, I just don't think Alien was that great.)
So... what is a person to do when Hollywood makes an Indiana Jones movie about aliens? I just don't know.
Okay, so I'm exaggerating a bit on both accounts, but you have to admit it's a bit farfetched for aliens to be infiltrating my Indy movies.
There were some moments that I found totally awesome:
-The krazy KGB lady; I always love female villains. Especially Russian female villains.
-The test city in the weapons testing facility; awesome. I didn't even see it coming, which is silly of me, but I loved it totally for some reason.
-"Get that greaser!"; oh, god, I laughed so hard. Jocks vs. Greasers FTW. :D
-Shia LaBeouf's sword fight; a lot of people are already moaning about the 'lack of realism' in this scene. In this case, I'm going to have to say, STFU and go watch a documentary if you want realism. This scene was awesome and cooler than any of Indy's throughout the entire film.
-KGB lady vs. monkeys; the monkeys clearly know that Shia is the most enjoyable part of the film and couldn't let the KBG kill him.
There were probably more, but I lost any semblance of reasoning after the Giant Ants dragged a man into their hill.
And then... well, then the aliens. Or, blah, 'interdimensional beings' or WTFever. Looks like a stereotypical alien? Check. Flies away in a spaceship at the end? Check.
So, so so so. What can I say? What can I say say say?
Nothin. I'm sort of floored by the movie, actually. I think I'm still in shock. I don't know. Don't know know know. Hmmm.
All that I've learned from watching this movie is that I would be insanely happy if Josh and Shia did a movie together. :B The premise; Josh is a bitterly sarcastic street wise kid who does odd jobs to make rent. Shia is an escaped government cloning experiment with amnesia. Aliens are not involved in any way.
Do it, Hollywood.
Two days.
