Raiders of the Lost Ark


I know, I know. Most of you are BAFFLED that I have never seen this movie before. In fact, I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies. So un-American of me. I have redeemed myself though (better late than never!) and watched this gem last night. Yup, I called it a gem.

A few take aways:

  • I saw the infamous boulder scene. Finally.
  • Harrison Ford actually has color in his hair! So young!!!!!
  • I LOVED the scene when Indiana Jones was chasing after that chick in the market place. A huge native dude jumps out in front of him with his sword out ready to fight, badass music is queued, and anticipation hightens as to what Jones is going to do. He promptly pulls out his gun and pops a cap in the dude. So American. By far my favorite scene in the movie.
  • Whips are so under-rated these days. Seriously.
  • I saw a guys face get melted off. Why the hell did nobody warn me that I was going to see A MANS FACE BEING MELTED OFF?
