GRAB THE SNAKE!

Just came back from seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Dreadful title, highly enjoyable movie. I mean, it's crack. But it's authentic Indiana Jones-style crack. With aliens. And lots of in-jokes. A joke I missed, though - what with the alien stuff (this does not count as a spoiler, shuddup) - would have been someone saying "Who are you" and Indy going "I'm the Doctor". There was "I have a bad feeling about this" though!

Otherwise, there was a moment when I had a lot of bad Gondolin jokes in my mind, and a lot of moments that called for massive suspension of disbelief.

But it's a hell of a good ride.

Most uncomfortable cinema visit evah, though. We only got the additional emergency crowd seats attached to the front rows, so we sat right in front of the screen BUT on the very right side. Some funny distortions and a sore neck included for free.

But yeah, it's insane and fun, so go watch it if you like the original trilogy.
The audience was really good too- but then I suppose the kind of people who go to an English language preview in a German cinema have to be the kind of people who recognise in-jokes and laugh and applaud in the right places.

Lyra off. Photos tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to the Gondolin jokes especially. :D And the aliens. And... aw, heck, the whole movie. :D

After seeing several fairly positive reactions pop up on my f-list, I might be tempted to go and see Indy IV after all. Especially if there are injokes!
