My New Favorite Song



This video is a little odd, but I heard this song (originally by Shakespears Sister...which is great too) but when I found this version and this video, I just fell in love with it. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think...

Will they never learn?!?!?

Maybe it's my own fault, it's not like the pattern wasn't there for me to see. An amazing and successful movie trilogy, ruined by additional movies. I LOVE, absolutely LOVE the Indiana Jones movies. So, with that in mind, I went to the midnight opening of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. And I have never been so disappointed in a movie in my life. Don't read on if you haven't seen it yet and don't want it spoiled. But seriously...ALIENS in Indiana Jones? I know the original (from here on out the ONLY Indiana Jones movies in my opinion) were over the top and a bit beyond belief. But hell, at least they stayed on this planet (even if they were messing with the 'divine') Thank god I can just rewatch the others and hopefully erase this disaster out of my mind.

George Lukas may be an amazing and brilliant man...but there comes a point where he's just milking the franchise for all that extra money he really doesn't even need. He degraded the original Star Wars trilogy with the second set. Never rely on special effects to get you through...they should be like icing on the cake...not the cake with a bit of a story for icing.

Oh well, there are plenty of other movies to look forward to this summer, The Dark Knight, Mamma Mia, and others that I just can't think of right now. But that's all for now...
