betrayed

I saw it. I went at midnight to see the first possible showing because I love the franchise and the characters that much. Up until this point, it’s been some of the greatest adventure storytelling we’ve seen, and probably the movie franchise that I hold most dear (even more than Star Wars).

But I am betrayed.

Let’s just say, first of all, that the one big question was answered: “Is Harrison Ford too old to play Indy again?” The answer: absolutely not. Harrison was great. He proved himself more than capable. It was everyone behind the camera that was not.

So that makes the sting all the more painful. It COULD have been great. Indy still SHOULD have worked, but they jumped the shark. They Lucas-ed it up.

My feelings can best be described with a lyric:

My blood runs cold
My memories have just been sold
My angel is a centerfold
My angel is a centerfold
