I love the mini history lessons!! The series were a HUGE reason why I got into Indy. It saddens me to find out that there are not so many that share this aspect of IndyLuv. While watching them (after reading the write-up on the backs) I sooo anticipated seing such interesting influential historical figures such as Vlad the Impaler and Al Capone. I was interested to see how they would portray them and just how Indy would happen across them.And how these people have infulenced Indy in his life. If Indy hadn't met Albert Schweizer, maybe Indy wouldn'r be as compassionate + caring for children and those in need. Maybe he wouldn't have gone back for all those kids in TOD! And I believe the cheesy campy comedy is quite on track with the feel of the 3 movies.
And "Unrealisitic"? Ummm Hello... and the movies are??!! Yeah,too bad the YIJ series weren't as realistic as the movies..like a heart getting pulling out, still beating, and bursting into flames...Yeah, my grandfather said that back in WW2 Nazi's faces melted all the time. Come on, If the Indy movies were realistic we wouldn't love them as we do..we get to live out a fantasy through the Indy , beating the odds, finding mystical "unattainable" things..be it a relic, love, newfound understanding of yourself and others...ect.He does all the things we wish we could..
Anyway... I LOVE YOUNG INDIANA JONES!!! (And Sean Patrick Flannery is HOT as a Young Indy ! From his facial features, I could see him growing up looking somewhat like Ford. Maybe I should start a YIJ "droolers" thread..doubt there'd be much interest, though)
I realise I'm probably representative of .000001% of Indy fans here.... But I'M here to REPRESENT! (uh..yo)East Side. We out. YIJ RULES!
