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.

Quote of the Day

"I have really great parents that were never weirdos."

- Ellen Page, Juno star, Hollywood starlet, and all-around cool girl on why she turned out so much better than a lot of other young actresses who keep getting arrested and showing up on the cover of US Weekly for bizarre scandals (I'm not naming names but you know who I'm talking about)

Are you a Rolling Stones Fan? Check this out!

I am a huge, huge Stones fan. I love Gimme Shelter - love it - and can listen to it multiple times a day. At the gym, on the subway, in the elevator at work, walking up the stairs to my apartment, writing this blog post. Love the Stones. So you'd better believe I'm going to see the new Scorsese movie Shine a Light that profiles one of their concerts. Check out this sneak peak at the movie:
