The title is my reaction to Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  The above is also my reaction to every Indiana Jones movie, so I guess if you like Indiana Jones, you'll like it.

Let me just say though, that as someone who watched 9 FUCKING seasons of the X-Files, this sanitized, Americanized, and abridged version in 2 1/2 hours and M&Ms packaging just feels like a smack in the fucking face.

+ : every time Indiana Jones fails at something. 
- : every time Indiana Jones succeeds at something.
best character: crazy professor man + mutt
worst character: marion ravenwood + indiana jones
best impossibility: Indiana Jones gets pulled out of a sand trap by holding onto a snake that is somehow able to hold his entire weight!
worst impossibility: Indiana Jones survives a nuclear explosion by hiding in a refrigerator and doesn't die of cancer in three weeks!

Well, it's just like, for instance, feminists who try to assert their identities as women, be proud of their bodies and femininity, and criticize men. Makes me want to say, "Yeah, go you, reclaim that objectification," most of the time. Not to mention the whole idea of criticizing men is ridiculous, as if they are demons to be conquered. Anything here that's just polarizing the two groups more is keeping the system of patriarchy intact. Criticism is possible, it just can't be directed at the dominant group, because hegemony is systemic, there isn't a good side and a bad side, "men" and "women" are not homogenous groups, they do not have essences--those come from the socially created categories, and everyone has a right to define themselves. I know they, or at least the more intelligent of them, are going against older feminists' tendency to become equals be being more like men, but they're really doing a disservice to feminism.
