Today was a good day. #1 – I got to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull. No spoilers here, I promise. I thought it started out
a little slow and expositional, but Laura reminded me that they needed to set
it up for the younger viewers. OK, I’ll give her that one. I thought once the
ol’ hat and lasso were back in the picture, it was all good. He
and Shia had great chemistry and I was swept up by the whole Indiana Jones-ness
of it all. What can I say? Some people think it was too much like a video game,
but I say, it was great fun, and that’s all one should expect from the franchise.
Oh, Cate Blanchett freaked me out (in a good way). She seemed conceived in
the Blake Snyder Limp and an Eyepatch machine (a Ukrainian Communist with
a bob and a sword, go figure).
#2 – Welcome to
the 21st century, fellow screenwriters. Just say no to MS Word screenwriting
templates.
