MOVIE MARATHON

[mercat]

So, I kind of amaze myself sometimes. You'd think with the number of times I've watched the Indiana Jones movies I wouldn't keep having these "nurrrr" moments.

(Like, about a year ago I watched Temple of Doom, and, even though in the back of my head I knew he didn't have his gun throughout the whole movie, it just struck me that it was because Willie dropped it out of the car in the first chase scene.)

Anyway, so David came over to join me in the marathon (...and then left after one) and we watched Last Crusade. Which, really, I love the humor of that one. But, for the first time, I caught a few lines I haven't before.

For example, when he's in Donovan's house, and he mentions his dad. He says that he's the medieval professor, a line I never really paid attention to before... but he continues by saying his dad is the professor of medival history that all the students hope they don't get. LOL.

Okay and after the Joneses are caught in Castle Brunwald and tied up, Donovan (IIRC) tells Elsa to take the journal to the Reich Museum in Berlin. My brain went "Rijksmuseum? Why would they take it to an art museum in the Netherlands?" And then I realized he said "reich" as in "The Third Reich" or whatever it is.


For the longest time, I thought the hotel scene was "I love Venice" and not "ah, Venice", too. I think it's just one of those "they're not quite enunciating so you hear something close" type situations. However, much like the Rjikesmuseum above, it is often hilarious and not sensical like this.

Also, self reminder: the postsecret dream. I'll post about it later, it was pretty hilarious.

I know what you mean. I have some cds that I listen to everyday and every now and then I'll hear something I've never noticed before. Even my all time favourite movie that I know forwards and backwards surprises me sometimes. It's awesome though, almost like your seeing it again for the first time.

Precisely! I do that with music all the time. ;P

I once came out of a stormdrain manhole, soaking wet in my Adventurebilt, in the middle of a golf course. As soon as I stood up straight, I had to say, "Ah, Venice." before getting the heck out of there.

It was shortly after this:
