If You Want To Know The Truth You Make Or Break My Day

Um, so, like...my review of Indy never got written. I worked Saturday and frankly I have spent the rest of the weekend being a total David Cook fangirl. In my defense I loved the kid from his audition and voted for him every single week. That was before he got the new haircut, lost 15 pounds and lost his electric razor. And started to look like this-





Yup that is a cradle I would totally rob. The fact that he is wicked smart adds to it. Smart men beat pretty men any day of the week. After his new look around week 9, it was like, "Whoa! Talented AND I wanna throw my panties at him. BONUS!"

And yes, there are two pictures of him up just for my benefit.

I want NO SHIT from the Soul Patrol squad cause I know you have done it too. Well except Trav and Bond, you guys would be fanboys.

That sounds dirty :P

But I totally can see you tossing mental panties. Not necessarily at Taylor. Kat was pretty hawt.

Trav, I have several of David's original songs. His entire solo album in fact and his old band. So holler if you want to hear his original works. And anyone else for that matter.

edit Shocker! Lifelogger actually uploaded it! Silly program.

David Cook - The Truth - Analog Heart


And now onto Indy and the Crystal Skull. I will cut right to the chase. It did not suck. In fact it was pretty damn good. Was it Raiders of the Lost Ark good? Of course not, trying to recapture a moment in time never works. But is was not the Indy version of that HORRID Attack of the Clones crap that Lucas inflicted on Star Wars. It knew enough to not try to pretend to be Raiders redux. It felt perfectly natural in it's progression. Like "yeah this is what Indy would be doing 18 years later" rather than "WTF, who is Harrison Ford kidding??"

We start off as always with the Paramount Mountain logo dissolving into another mountain. Or molehill in this case. Indy is in trouble and only his Bullwhip can save him! From there...My lips are sealed! Seriously, I can't say much about the plot without giving it away. If it sounds like the plot is slim, well of course it is! We are here for the banter and the action, not the frickin plot! You wanna learn something go watch The DaVinci Code! I can confirm the rumors that aliens do factor in. I swear to god I think Lucas goes home and inserts his own probe and plays abduction.

Best things about it?

1. Harrison Ford. That man owns. He's Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Talk about iconic roles. And he made them iconic. He looks just obnoxiously good for his age without plastic surgery and he is totally believable as an adventurer.

2. Shia LaBeouf was pretty good as Mutt. If they are thinking of pinning the future franchise on him they better keep Harrison around though. He just doesn't have the nads to pull it off alone.

3. BEST THING ....Marion is back! Indy with no Marion was always just wrong. Karen gives us Marion as her usual saucy self and she and Harrison Ford still have the chemistry.

All in all, it's worth a trip to the theater and kidlet and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And wrapping things up I'd like to assure all of you that the world is still sitting perfectly on it's axis. Hell has not frozen over and the End Days are not upon us. Translation, the weather sucked all weekend. Hail, rain and a balmy 54 degrees! Go Whoreygon!
