Indiana Jones and the Cheesy Contrivance
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
mshollie and I saw the new "Indiana Jones" movie at the Prytania yesterday. It was fun mindless entertainment.
candid doesn't care for Indiana Jones;
an interesting take I can't argue against intellectually. One needs to suspend logic if watching something like this. Don't expect it to be plausible or make sense. It is high budget cheese. Ms. H and I laughed both at and with it.
Well, we're former staffers of "New Orleans Worst Film Festival", so perhaps we have overdeveloped bad film amusement senses. Heck, I enjoyed
"Aztec Rex" (AKA "Tyranasaurs Azteca").
Speaking of great moments in film,
tongodeon introduced me to the silent film "Grief in Bagdad". It is a short parody of the Douglas Fairbanks feature "The Theif of Bagdad" (though you don't need to know that to appreciate it). This is a fun short, with what is probably some of the greatest acting by non-human primates in film history!
Watch on YouTube.
