Comments on: Dear George & Steven…What Were You Thinking? http://www.orcutt.net/weblog/2008/05/27/dear-george-stevenwhat-were-you-thinking/ Scenes from the writing life: thoughts, observations, musings, maunderings, rants, stories and essays on what it means to be a working writer, striving to communicate my ideas (or my client's ideas) with clarity, humor and eloquence.

They probably saw a glut of bad action movies hit the theaters and thought I can make something better than that. And what the heck, it's got Harrison Ford. So even if the script sucked and the action was so-so, they've got the draw they need to make money. I haven't seen the movie yet. Maybe next week on a Thursday when the theater is empty so I can talk back to the movie. As to why they made the Crystal Skulls, I think it was because they could.

Lord knows I've tried, though, and still have managed to see the whole thing from falling asleep during different parts. I just don't find it interesting. Completely agree with you about the second one. I loved it when I was little, though. But at the time I didn't want to kick the woman and wasn't annoyed by the kid. Now, the third movie was a masterpiece. Exciting, witty, and clever. I loved it. I have no desire to ruin my last impression of Indiana Jones by seeing the forth. By the way, I found your blog on blogcatalog.com and since you're obviously into writing, I wanted to let you know about a new e-zine that me and a few writer friends are putting together. It's called The Oddville Press. <a href="http://theoddvillepress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://theoddvillepress.com/</a> You should check us out if you're interested--or better yet, submit something!
