turistas go home!

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!

Yeah, you know your friends, I know my friends. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with what you've said on this.

I was more than a little emotionally disturbed when I wrote that. Part of what I meant by "overreacting."

I understand that it's how it came across across, and if there's anything I did to make it sound that way, I'm sorry. A lot of things you had said had sounded like insults to me, and I was trying my best to stay calm until this point...
