Indiana Jones gets Cannes-d
Posted by Anthony Salveggi on Wed, May 21, 2008 at 5:26 PM
If you didn't know that IMDB.com relies on two news services to provide its daily Movie/TV news, you might think the good folks there have a split personality regarding Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which opens nationwide Thursday, May 22.
This from news outlet Studio Briefing, which appeared on IMDB the day after the latest Indiana Jones installment premiered Sunday, May 18, at Cannes:
"Some of the initial criticism does indeed crackle like Indiana's whip."
The blurb then quotes critics at the festival who were disappointed with the film, followed by those gave Indy 4 positive reviews, stating:
"Most critics echo those cheers."
But fear not, all ye fanboys who need to have your "I haven't seen the film but I already love it" opinions validated by nearly every single critic who matters. The following day, WENN, the World Entertainment News Network, was far less equivocal, and had this much sunnier take on the IMDB site:
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has proved a huge hit at the Cannes International Film Festival on Sunday — receiving a standing ovation from critics at its world premiere."
Granted, both news providers were offering different types of reports, with WENN giving a macro view of the premiere, while Studio Briefing got more into the details of the critical reaction . But seriously, how do you leave out that the film received a "three-and-a-half minute standing ovation"?

it seems like the recipe of a good Indiana Jones film would be 1 part Nazis and 1 part Biblical artifact... the Soviet army does a pretty good job of replacing the Nazis, but the other ingredient...

Until I see the movie, I'll reserve my judgment as to whether the MacGuffin in this film, i.e., the crystal skull, works as well as the Ark of the Covenant and Holy Grail did in the previous entries. But I think as long as the artifact isn't ridiculously stupid, like, say, a limited-edition Franklin Mint plate featuring Elvis Presley serenading Princess Diana on the deck of the sinking Titanic, I don't think it really matters, since it's just an excuse to see Indy endure one predicament after another.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
