They even admit, basically, that it can't be normal magnetism because it affects gold, but the effect isn't even *internally* consistent (bullets but not belt buckles?). Plus it appears to be blocked by burlap.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885327989629063071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-67196012805818860102008-06-09T18:55:00.000-07:002008-06-09T18:55:00.000-07:00Crank was rented with very low expectations and im...Crank was rented with very low expectations and immediately after Smoking Aces. So, in retrospect, I might have given it undue praise. On the other hand I did think it was fun.<BR/><BR/>Oh and Indy...well as I said in my blog. The only real issue I had with it was the use of magnetism. I don't ask movies to make sense, just to be internally consistent. Which is why the famous computer virus thing in Independence Day didn't bother me but the random magnetism in Indy does.Bnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287605681056723497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-83619523536660939582008-06-09T16:44:00.000-07:002008-06-09T16:44:00.000-07:00We checked out Indy this week-end.Uhm...Why is he ...We checked out Indy this week-end.<BR/><BR/>Uhm...<BR/><BR/>Why is he a spy? And why was there a bomb? And how could he survive the flying refrigerator episode? Why didn't the aliens leave before they lost their head? Where did Marienne go for that whole driving chase scene?<BR/><BR/>All this and more, in my head tonight at seven, eight central.<BR/><BR/>But really, I did enjoy seeing Harrison do the Indiana Jones thing, even if they were avoiding calling him that, which I didn't really get.mmrillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205980133999727526noreply@blogger.com
