pinksonia Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls comes out tomorrow. I am supposed to be excited. My entire company seems overjoyed and yet. Me, not so much. The movie theater just around the corner from me is holding a midnight showing, and I suppose I will end up seeing the movie there sometime this weekend. But first I have a confession to make. I may be the only archaeologist under the age of thirty who is able to say this but "Indiana Jones in no way influenced my career choice." In fact, I'm not sure I've seen all of the other movies. I know I've seen the third one because that has Sean Connery, and I think I've seen the other two but it may have only been the first one. And those movies, I didn't even see in their entirety until I got to college and my roommate had the DVDs.
Now it's not that I don't like Indiana Jones. It's just that I don't have the overwhelming love that every one else seems too. I had all kinds of anticipation for the first Star Wars prequel (and would had had the same for the others had it not been clear the George Lucas cannot write dialog to save his life) and I'm counting down the days until The X-Files: I Want to Believe. But when someone asked me if I was excited for tomorrow, while we were standing in front of a picture of Harrison Ford all dressed up, I still had to ask why I would be excited for tomorrow.
By the way, the fictional character who influence my career choice: Amelia Peabody. (also to a certain extent Temperance Brennan, from the books not the tv series)
