Indiana Jones and Thai Food

Well, that was about the extent of the weekend around these parts. We were given an Amazon gift certificate at Christmas, with which we ordered the Indiana Jones trilogy (thank you, Scot and Jim!). So this weekend we watched the three movies, and two of the "making of" features on the extra DVD. We'll watch the third "making of" special tomorrow night.

We've both loved the first and third movies for as long as I can remember (though in my case it was only since college, since "Last Crusade" was the first one I saw, when it was in the theaters). Until last night, I had never seen "Temple of Doom" at all, and I think Marty had only seen it once, when it was first released. And now that I've seen it, I don't know that I ever need to again. I'd always heard it was "grosser" than the other two, but that wasn't the problem. It was like a whole different story from the first and third movies. Where were the Nazis? Where was Denholm Elliot? Where was Indiana Jones, college professor? And who was that kid?

Still, for completeness' sake, I'm glad I finally saw it. And on the "making of" feature, even Spielberg said it was his least favorite of the three movies, which Marty and I took to mean that he agrees it kinda stinks. I did, actually, enjoy the Sri Lankan locations and the Indian actors in the movie.

The first and third movies kicked as much ass as they ever did, I'm happy to say.

Then we went out for Thai food. While we were eating, I mentioned to Marty that I had to go home afterwards and write my German homework, and he teased me mercilessly for using the word "write" in that sentence. Too much German!

We walked home in the snow, and then I wrote my homework. So there.
