Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Numbskulls

Hello, it’s been a while!

Some of you were worried. I’m doing great! I just didn’t have news interesting enough to tell you.

And as we say, no news is good news (most of the time).

Today, I have an awful news to tell you. It’s actually an awful review about a movie I just saw: the new Indiana Jones flick. Some of you might have already seen it but my anger is to big to be contained. I had to put it on my blog.

I came out of the theater depressed. It was good seeing one of my favorite charaters on screen again and some of the jokes were funny if you are a true fan of the series like myself. But the script is just terrible. After more than 15 years this is what Hollywood could come up with: take movies like “Mission to Mars”, “Sign” and have Indy search for a lost piece of artefact and chased by Russian KGB. There, you have it. That’s the script. Oh and he has a son but nobody cares at this point.

So yes, you have aliens at the end and a spaceship. Who mixes Indiana Jones and science fiction? Spielberg does.

Do you remember when you first discovered that Santa Clause didn’t exist? How the whole myth just crumbled into pieces and made you sad? It was the same for me this time. The worst part is, it comes from the very same people who created the myth. Come on! Surely Mr. Spielberg, you can do better than this! I’m sure you’re going to come up with a lame excuse like “I just thought of it like an hommage to Sci-Fi movies that I loved so much over the past years, including mine.”

I love movies, but betraying people like this through this art is unforgivable.

I’ll write again soon!

Next stage? The Dark Knight!
