Happy Comic Book Wednesday

Happy Comic Book Day out there to everybody. Even if you don't read comic books, it's still comic book day!

So last night I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (could they have picked a longer name?). I am so glad that I only paid $2 for it. Go Village Eight $2 Tuesdays! Anyway, so what I got from the movie was classic Indy. The silliness, the predictability, everything was there. But what I think Steven Spielberg failed to realize is that times change and everything that was good back in the day isn't necessarily good today. Some parts I laughed. J laughed so hard at the ants that consume every living thing. I mean so many parts of it were classic Indy. And then other parts were so out there that not even Indiana Jones could pull it off.

Overall, good enough entertainment for my money. But I would have been mad if I had paid more. I think Harrison Ford needs to hang up his hat and whip and do some roles that don't require stunts. You could obviously tell it wasn't him. Now if he still did his own stunts, that would be hot. So if your absolutely bored and you want classic Indy with some unbelievable parts thrown in, go for it. At least Bazo's was great! Mmmmmm fish tacos.

Oh! P.S! My vacation pics are up. http://picasaweb.google.com/reneecrocker/VirginiaBeach2008
