dodo do dooooooo dodo dooooo
May. 20th, 2008 12:55 amI honestly can't wait for the next Indiana Jones movie. I remember watching the first 3 with my Dad (the corrupter of young children) and loving every moment of it. Including the bits where they were all "OMGGGGGG MONKEYS BRAINS!" Plus, I remember the sheer happy-happy-joy-joy feeling I had when I was tall enough to ride the Indie-Ride at Disney World. (I couldn't do it at Disney Land because I AM A SHORT PERSON.)
Childhood = Indiana Jones yes!

May. 20th, 2008 06:20 pmI shall save up for a MK VII gas mask bag. Still floundering on whether to get the original or the reproduction. One thing for sure, the reproduction won't smell 60 years old. But the whole point of owning a MK VII bag is because it's 60 years old ain't it?
So in order to prep myself for Indy Jones, I thought I might've a gander at catching the previous 3 films. Illegal, online means aren't working well at the moment so I thought to ransack my Dad's massive DVD collection to see if the George Lucas fan that he is, might have copies.
(I know we have LDs somewhere but our LD player is senile so ... yeah. No LDs.)
While sweating it out in his stuffy study, I climb up tables and chairs to the shelves that house mostly unopened DVDs and boxsets. I always knew that pops had a thing for hoarding things - his 1980s computer game collection is mindblowing and I think we still have one of those 1st gen consoles that he used (I was probably still floating in the ether) - but this DVD collection is nuts.
Or rather, I didn't expect my dad to own any of these. He's not a film buff in the modern sense. But wtf, behind a Gloria Estefan Concert DVD, I found two box sets of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. I MEAN WTF HITCHCOCK + ?!?!??! = DAD !?!?? Also, entire boxset of the nasty Alien series (I say nasty because it still scares me). No Indiana Jones yet (curious enough, no Star Wars either. They're all in LDs only. Gah.) Going past the scary amounts of Pokemon DVDs he got for us (Gotta Catch'em All!), there are more surprises in store: Capone (1975), Saving Private Ryan, Gattaca, the entire James Bond series (minus the latest one because he's off DVD collecting now) and Fiddler on the Roof.
There's 38492317923more titles he has stuck there in musty shelves and HEY I CAN START A FRIGGIN' DVD RENTAL SERVICE HERE. I shall catalogue everything and like, rent things off to locals. Seriously, other than selling them online (other than being dusty, they're in mint condition and most still shrink wrapped) and blinding myself by watching every single one (omggg hurrrah), I can rent them out! For like a week? I don't know. I have to see what titles he has first and whether he allows me to do this first.
Dude. I have the coolest Dad on earth.
Though if he had those Indiana Jones and Star Wars DVDs, he'd be AWESOME?
