Discovering Indiana Jones

A month ago, I saw the new Indiana Jones trailer, and from that point on, my fandom for Indy escalated. Admittedly and embarrassingly, I had never watched all three Indy films until this week. *cue a crowd of people gasping in disbelief* I know, I’m un-American and a terrible horrible person!

Before you go all torches and pitchforks on me, let me explain. When the first two movies came out, I wasn’t even born yet and when the third movie came out, I was only 2 years old. I know that still doesn’t excuse the fact that I’m 20 years old and just now discovering Indy, but really the Indy films are not from my generation. You can’t hold a guy accountable for something that was created before his time! *points finger at mathematics*

Like I said, I watched all three films for the first time this week. Previously I had only seen bits and pieces of the series. Simply put, I love all three films! Temple of Doom was a little iffy, but the first and last are amazing!

Once I had familiarized myself, I decided that I had a major amount of catching up to do. I spent a couple of hours “researching” Indy and its history. With that being said, I can comfortably say that I’m now up to speed. I only regret not falling in love with Indy sooner, including the many great games that the franchise has inspired.

Please leave your hate comments below.

That's okay, we're both in the same boat. Except I saw the movies a few years back for the first time and I really enjoyed them. The new trailer also got me excited when I first saw it. Definitely a must see. :)
