indiana jones and the very brief review

1.  Marcus Brody portrait on the wall = win.

2.  Bunker full of crates = win.

3.  Later busting open of crate containing Ark of the Covenant = extra point, for those who didn't think the bunker itself was sufficient shout-out.

4.  Karen Allen looks fantastic, doesn't she?  [livejournal.com profile] sanj points out that she's fifteen or twenty years younger than the rest of them, which may be true, but that doesn't change that she's thirty years older than she was.

5.  Henry Jones, Jr. has a(t least one) Ph. fucking D., and it is for that reason that I absolutely refuse to believe he is unable correctly to pronounce the word NUCLEAR.


That is all.

I'm going to second the "yay!" for the Ark of the Covenant. That part was just cool.

Much less cool was the mispronounciation of "nuclear". Am in complete agreement. That threw me for much long than I wanted it to. I hate that. Yes, you can shorten the word to "nuke" for one syllable, but that doesn't mean you can mispronounce when you backform later.

(Okay. Sometimes I'm prescriptivist. I also really hate "reveal" as a noun.)
