I went to the cinema last night to watch it. Compared to the original movies, I was disappointed; but in comparison to other action/adventure films, it is very good.
- Harrison Ford hasn’t aged well and it didn’t look right seeing him as a frail old man
- Whenever Ray Winstone was on, I kept thinking of the movie Sexy Beast
- Every time I saw Jim Broadbent, I thought of the corrupt policeman from Hot Fuzz
Things I learnt from the movie…
- Insects, snakes, and mad natives make good Indy plots. Aliens do not
- Harrison Ford proves that despite owning an OAP bus pass and colostomy bag, you can still run around and jump about (albeit with a medical team and oxygen to hand)
- If you see an atomic bomb falling from the sky, hide in a fridge and you’ll be fine. Pity the people of Hiroshima didn’t know that
- If you ever find yourself surrounded by monkeys, pretend to be one, they’ll befriend you, and even attack your enemy
- Under NO circumstances should you step into a field where ants build their nests
Lego Indiana Jones is great fun. So far I have completed Raiders of the Lost Ark and have almost finished Temple of Doom. That leaves just Last Crusade to do; but like GTA4, there are many extras to return to once the story mode is complete.
The game is surprisingly tricky, and a lot of the puzzles left me thinking. I even had to refer to this guide once or twice. One particular end-of-level boss on Temple of Doom caused me massive anger, which resulted in a glass of drink being spilt all over the carpet and underneath the DVD player. No long term damage appears to have been done, apart from to my sanity.
It’s only early June, but the weather is too hot. After leaving the office this afternoon, it felt as if I had walked out into the Sahara Desert. It is nearly midnight – the windows are wide open, I am wearing my ultra-thin Barcelona FC kit, yet still I am boiling hot. Can we please have a crap, wet summer like last year?
Has anyone else heard the new BBC Radio FiveLive jingle? “At home and now in car” As far as I was aware, assuming you had the correct technology – i.e. an AM or DAB radio, you were ALWAYS able to access FiveLive in whatever vehicle you chose to drive.
I feel the need to apologise… Pavarotti, the Super Mario Bros, Robert DeNiro, the staff in my local pizza takeaway… I am sorry.
Sorry I chose to support your country, and pass the same curse I put upon England and Leeds United upon your country, causing you to lose 3-0 to Holland tonight.
Will I carry on supporting you during Euro 2008? Unfortunately for you – yes. Once again – I’m very, very sorry.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
