Indiana Jones and the Social Security Check of Doom

Just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie with the Long-Suffering Girlfriend. I don’t go to the movies very often, so the experience is always interesting.

Before the show, I ordered a medium soda. The lady behind the counter pulled out a behemoth 44 oz. cup, and I started laughing. “That’s the largest medium soda I’ve ever seen,” I said.

“Yeah, we hear that a lot,” she replied, looking decidedly unamused.

Once we settled in our seats, we got to watch about 15 minutes of commercials before the lights dimmed and the parade of previews floated by.

Now, on the tv, there are a lot of commercials for movies. But at the movies, most of the commercials are for tv shows. It’s a nice bit of symmetry, I think.

So — on to the movie. It’s been getting mixed reviews. Some people liked it, and some didn’t.

I didn’t.

I’d go into detail, but it’s late and I don’t feel like it.

I prefer short reviews, anyway.
