Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 so he’s not 70 yet!

Saw Iron Man yesterday. Well worth the price of admission. I figure I’ll wait on Indian Jones for a bit.

Narnia wasn't a stinker. Heck, for a kids movie, it was pretty good. Not as good as the first, but that was to be expected. For me it was like reliving my childhood as I grew up on the novels.

Sorry I didn’t mean to sound nasty. I am glad that you enjoyed it. To be honest, I just don’t like those type of movies and was being snide in the comments.

Went to the movies this weekend, wearing my Speed Racer shirt, and the guy said, "Let me guess".

Nope. Two tickets for Narnia. (My son talked me into it.) Very enjoyable movie.

Indy should be around for a while. I hope Speed Racer lasts another week so i can see that one, too.

$151MM and he's not even a whipper-snapper anymore.

No offense taken. Normally I have a deep dislike for any children's movie, especially Disney. I hate Harry Potter (annoying as heck), but both Narnia and LOTR were something I grew up on so it is fun to relive your childhood and see how what was in your imagination is transformed on screen.

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan, but I missed the film this weekend. I hope to see it this coming weekend - hopefully the crowds will be smaller.

'Sex and the City' will be coming out so the crowds probably will be smaller...

“Have you noticed how crowded the restaurants are too?”

Nope...because we don’t eat out much anymore...
yours truly is a master in the kitchen. LOL

and if you had been in any restaurant kitchens lately;
you wouldn’t eat there either...I wouldn’t let them wash my car much less prepare my food!

Interesting Indy trivia: Crystal Skull only needs another 90 million or so in the U.S. to reach the Top 50 movies of all time (based on US box office).

The movie that it will push off the list?
Raiders of the Lost Ark
(which, by the way, is the only Indy film in the Top 50)

I haven't seen 'Narnia' yet, but I plan to. I think both films will be around for months.

We took my mother, and it was fun for all of us:

No sex scenes or F-Words...

I have always been a fan of the Indy Jones movie.....and how can one go wrong with Star Wars.....

My son was visiting for the weekend so husband son and I went to see Indy Jones. We all thought it was ok and a bit boring.....if you are not a huge Indy fan it is a good idea to wait for the DVD

Raiders of the Lost Ark was the only Indy movie worth watching. Speilberg, Ford and Lucas have enough cash. They should have donated their take to some good liberal cause, other then themselves.

Btw, adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind is still #1 box office champ all time.

Am I correct in stating that Indy did not touch his revolver EVEN ONE TIME in this movie? It wasn’t even SEEN one time. And also, IIRC, the hero (Ryan?) in the drug movie (C and P Danger?) also did not lay his hands on a firearm even one time. Spielberg showing his stripes.

“The oddly political aspect was that it mocked the anti-communist fears of the 50s, while thoroughly demonizing the Soviets.”

You are correct. The film ridiculed those crazy rightwingers for fearing the commies, yet portrayed dozens of homicidal commies running around IN THE US, murdering US servicemen by the bushel in a bid to take over the entire world.
