Indiana Jones Makes for a Great Date

When I was in high school, I figured out that the Indiana Jones movies were the perfect date movies. They weren't too over-the-top macho but guys still liked them, and they were interesting enough to keep me tuned in, even after watching them a few times. (i.e. reruns with various dates. I tried this on quite a few guys.)

So, you can imagine how stoked (remember how I'm bringing that word back?) I am for the new Indiana Jones movie. I'm going to drag Grant to it opening night!

It's just starting to get press. Entertainment Weekly had a Q&A with Harrison Ford and The Arizona Republic had this article about "the good old days" when Indy was fresh and new. I think Harrison Ford is still going to make a pretty good Indiana Jones. It wouldn't be the same without him.

Anyway, before the new one comes out, put my date theory to the test and rent the first three with your crush. Make some popcorn, get some diet coke (my soda of choice) and see if you don't both have a good time.

I totally agree. The truth is, everyone should see Indy. Who can't love him?

This is also a great movie that teens can talk to their parents about and bond over. The original Raiders of the Lost Ark came out when most of today's teenagers parents were teens themselves. I wrote a post on my blog about summer movies that parents and teens will both want to see and this was one of them http://connectwithyourteens.blogspot.com/2008/05/big-summer-movies-which-will-parents.html
