Hee. I had checked my disbelief at the door, but I was still wondering "how is he going to get out? They didn't make refrigerators that opened from the inside back then."
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Jilli, Indy and roaches, man. When the apocalypse comes? That's what's left.
And all that I can handwave, because MARION! SEEKRIT INDY BABY! (Yes, that's the Bulletproof Narrative Kink I mentioned in email, blame YEARS of unrepentantly trashy bodice rippers, ahem.)
Even if Young Master Shia makes me feel like a dirty fuckin' cougar from hell.

Pfft. You're not even a cub, much less a cougar. Besides, you need to look...tawnier.

Dude, I think that kid was born after I hit puberty. Ergo? Cougar country.
Anyhow, I own bronzer.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was your Bulletproof Narrative Kink. Mine, of course, is the undead (vampires preferred, but zombies are okay too), which is why I felt CHEATED. Cheated, I tell you!
Even if Young Master Shia makes me feel like a dirty fuckin' cougar from hell.
Yeah, I get that. He was pretty decorative.

He's not SUPPOSED TO BE DECORATIVE!
HE'S THE GOOFY KID FROM HOLES, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!
Ahem. I mean, it seriously feels like JUST yesterday I was watching him in kids movies with the nephew.
I mean, I have OTHER bulletproof narrative kinks. But somehow, I don't see the Indy franchise as giving me rentboys.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, Jilli, on that note, have you seen Fido (starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Billy Connolly, and Dylan Baker)? I just watched it. It's very amusing. It's set in an alternate '50s post-zombie apocalypse where zombies have collars to keep them from eating people. Except Timmy's zombie's collar malfunctions.
It's sort of like Pleasantville meets Shaun of the Dead.

Re: cougars, I had to define the term for my mother recently. I went with "sexually rapacious middle-aged woman" and then we had to have an argument over what middle-aged is. I said 35-50 (making me middle-aged) and my mother was deeply offended (she is 58) and said middle-aged is 45-60. What say you all? In my mind, a cougar is, like, 42. Isn't Samantha on Sex and the City the archetype?

Because books.
I thought Mrs. Robinson was the archetype. The original one, anyway.
It's going to be a while before Shia LeBoef is *not* that kid from Holes for me.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I think Shia LaBoeuf is quite talented and has done a good job getting out from under the Disney umbrella. (Plus he's very cute, and I'm young enough that I don't have to feel that dirty for saying that.)
I think I've figured out why I had such a poor reaction to Indy... this movie is like Indy fanfic, and Indy's not my fandom.
