tripperfunsterHee! I guess I should have warned for Indiana Jones spoilers, but uh ... I'm talking about the OLD ones! My kids HATE movies. They refuse to go to the theatre (they are 5 and 6) and rarely want to watch them on DVD.(other than Spongebob and Scooby-doo) Don't get me wrong, we don't eat hemp and live in a Yert! They eat junk food, and watch tv, but movies just aren't their thing.
Enter Indiana Jones. Of course, the commercials are EVERYWHERE and when Harrison (my son, not Ford) saw an ad for the Indiana Wii game, he was sold. And, of course, once he played that game, and was talking about it (endlessly) I started telling him about the movie (of what I could remember, anyway) and he was like: "Cool! Can we rent it?" *g*
I am such a movie buff, this thrilled me to no end. *has visions of actually GOING TO A THEATRE with my children*
Anyhoo, long story even longer, they didn't have the original for rent (all gone) so I bought the trilogy.
HOLY VIOLENCE, BATMAN! It's funny how you don't notice these things until you watch it with a child. Harrison was thrilled to death, of course, and asked 1000 questions, and I found myself stumbling a bit with the answers. I like to be as 'honest' as I can, about sex and death and stuff, but how do you explain Nazi's to a 6 year old, who has absolutely NO references to base this info on?
And the drinking contest bwn Marion and that random guy? Uh ... we don't really drink. We don't NOT drink, but yeah, when you have two kids and your own business to run, hangovers are not really an option, so it's pretty rare that we drink at all, and pretty much NEVAH where we tie on one. How do you describe drunk without making it seem FUN! :D
Tough stuff. No to mention, the second movie (which I had never seen, and now wish I never had) had all this blood sacrifice to the Gods stuff. I just fast forwarded through that part. *eyeroll* I don't need to deal with the resulting nightmares for the next two months.
He also had trouble figuring out who the characters were, from scene to scene. They all looked the same to him. I suppose, that character diversity is really at it's peak in the spongebob episodes!!
Final analysis: The first movie is his favourite (smart kid!), he didn't like the second, and got bored during the third. (although I was enjoying it).
BTW: My Nazi description went as such: A long time ago, there was a group of very bad people who tried to take over the world. There was a big war,(world war 2) because the rest of the world fought back, and we won! But in the meantime, the Nazis did very bad things and killed a lot of people. That flag (the swastica) was their symbol and now, if you ever see that flag anywhere, you should RUN THE OTHER WAY!
Okay, if you've stuck with my ramble thus far, you deserve some art!
Here is a ink wip. Snape is almost done, and now I must do Harry. You can see him outlined in yellow, and I filled a bit of the background in so that you can see where he's going to be.
