So these dudes built a huge boulder out of five million LEGOs and rolled it down a hill...in honor of Indiana Jones, of course. It's random and crazy and pointless and fun to watch.
Speaking of Indiana Jones, I saw the movie yesterday and thought it was pretty good: some really cool action sequences (the motorcycle stuff early on is neat, as is the longish jungle chase, and some other stuff I am forgetting), the story was interesting (if predictable), and that Shia Whatever kid wasn't half-bad. The best part, though, was seeing Indy again. Harrison Ford still looks darn good and Indiana Jones is a great character. (Although apparently, the Russians aren't amused. Go figure. Actually, I've been in academia too long, because as soon as I saw the part of the film this article references, I thought, "Ohhh...I bet some people are going to be upset about the historical inaccuracy of that!")
Part of me is torn about the entire existence of "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." It seems that "The Last Crusade" was a kind of perfect ending to the story of Indiana Jones. At least from our Western worldview, it doesn't get much bigger or much more epic than the Holy Grail. But this was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.
Oh yeah--how mad would you be if that was your car that the five-million piece LEGO boulder crashed into?
