The only reason I saw it in the theater was because we were AWAY on a family vacation -- away from work, the computer, the phone, etc., etc., etc. And it was a healthy & delightful change! Been reading you on Twitter, too, btw! I completely understand, Nez.

I was the biggest fan of old Hollywood movies, back when the hat was still fashionable. Strange that people don't really wear them anymore -- has the weather gotten warmer. Global warming...yeah, that must be it! @Barbara: Oh, I'm absolutely in the same boat. While I can appreciate and/or understand the ironic, open-ended, or even tragic ending, I'll still take the happy ending any day of the week. I'm just a hopeless romantic sap at heart. @Linda: Good to hear your review. Hopefully, we'll be able to see it soon -- but being so busy these days, a lot of the films I want to see have to wait until they come out on video. Thanks so much for dropping by! @Harry: Don’t get me started on fedoras. I was the biggest fan of old Hollywood movies, back when the hat was still fashionable.

It wasn't my favorite of the four, but definitely good enough to recommend to any Indiana Jones fan! The one thing I wish they had done more of was to include throw-back lines and/or scenes to the previous movies in the series. I think that would have added an extra element of fun. I won't say more, in case you haven't seen it yet. Don't want to ruin anything for you or your blog fans! Cheers, Linda Hi Nez,

I figured since my first name was already Harrison, it was a given. When I went into art school, I had high hopes for becoming an illustrator on archaeological digs. The reality was, it just didn't pay. I did have a fedora at one point (an official Indy Jones one - I'm a sucker for movie replicas). I still love the IJ movies and probably always will. <em>Harrison McLeod's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MenWithPens/~3/296424365/are-you-ready-to-indulge-yourself' rel="nofollow">Are You Ready to Indulge Yourself?</a></em> I wanted to be Indy too.
