Indiana Jones and the Commute from Hell
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008I have been very busy over the last few days, commuting to and from my new job. This commute is quite long - at the least 1.3 hours - and I’m finding it so challenging that all I can do when I get home is collapse in Gordon’s arms (after he has finished peering through the catflap in an amusing manner) and demand wine. You think I’m joking.
So you will understand that it took a great deal for me to stump up the energy to review Indiana Jones’ latest offering. Here are some of the things that I found annoying:
1. The cute gophers. Anyone who lets George Lucas near a film these days is asking for trouble. It’s a good thing he wasn’t involved in Schindler’s List, otherwise all the Jews would have been rescued by little furry chipmunks shouting ‘oy vey’ and looking alarmed when the Nazis goose-stepped past.
2. It’s nuclear. New-clee-ar. Not new-cew-lar. George W Bush says new-cew-lar. Don’t be a moron.
3. Just how many women who’ve been jilted at the altar would greet their ex-paramour with anything less than a winklepicker to the gonads? Just how quickly did she succumb?
4. Sword fighting on the back of jeeps. Yawn.
5. Cute monkeys (see cute gophers above) teaching Indy jnr to swing through the jungle like Tarzan. George Lucas should be shot (see above).
5. Everything else.
Awful. Just awful. Don’t waste your precious, non-commuting time.
In other news, thanks for the lovely comments to the last post, which I will answer, as each and every one deserves an answer.
