Really? I thought it looked like it's pretty funny.

Sleeping through it was caused by attending a pub crawl an hour before, and by then I was sobering up. And I never like a movie when I'm sobering up, so I wouldn't put any worth into my opinion of Get Smart.

Comon now Indy 4 wasnt THAT bad...it did have a very different feel from the older flicks, but I was expecting that. I watched it again a second time, and I enjoyed it more than the first time. You just have to take it for what it is, really. The plot is obviously the most "out there" of the 4 films, but if you can live with that the action is absolutley awsome, nobody does action scenes like Spielberg. I really hoping there is one more with Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.

On a related note, I was reading awhile back about a suppoused leaked script that was rejected by George Lucas. It was written by Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) Suppousedly, the script was similar but had some key notable differences. The main plot was the same, with basically the same ending. It still included the warehouse scene and the jungle action sequence. First difference, Shia Labuff's character was completley absent from Darabonts script. This left much more time for the Indy - Marion relationship to develop. Also, Marion was either allready married or seeing someone, so Indy had to "compete" for her affection. The last difference and most notable to me was that the script paid absolutley no mind to Indy's age. No old jokes, no nothing. There was also another action scene in this script.

I don't know. Indiana just wasn't the same. The way he enters the movie, bah. Pulled out of the back of a car and thrown onto the ground? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

The storyline could have worked if it wasn't for all the crappy details. Some scenes made me look away in shame.

But maybe it gets better the second time I watch it. If I ever will.

I watched The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou a few days ago. I'd read reviews that said "worst movie ever" and stuff, but I liked it a lot. I'd give it 7,5/10.

I also watched Juno. This one I loved. The movie itself may not be a 9/10, but the emotion, the character development is great. 9/10

Saw Wall-E on Sunday.

That was awesome, minus the bullshit article some radicals wrote about it saying it was like "fascist" or some shit.

I watched the Italian Job.
Was a pretty fun movie.
Edward Norton was weird in the role.

Wasn't there some story that Norton didn't even want to play in the movie but he had some kind of contract which basically made him? I think he had to play in 3 movies of that studio. But he had signed it long before he got famous. I can't say I feel sorry for him.

Wall-E was amazing.

I think there was meant to be a LOT of symbolism, especially since it was a mostly dialog-less movie. Especially HAL / The emperor's "force shock" attack / tons of others. I wish I could see a list of all the references.

Joshua Jackson does have a way of lighting up the screen, doesn't he?
