According to Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar and his wife bought a shitload of ShamWows off the infomercial and he rambled on about how awesome they were and gave one to Milo, who related this story and his own discovered love for ShamWow when the subject came up during his interview with Kevin & Bean on KROQ.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS AMUSES ME HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ADRIAN AND MILO BEING GAY FOR GODDAMN SHAMWOWS ON MY HOMETOWN ROCK STATION NO LESS oh my god pffffffffffft as if Jon Stewart mentioning ShamWows to Barack Obama wasn't hilarious enough. AND THEN MY DAD WAS GOING ON ABOUT HOW HE WANTED ONE WHEN THE INFOMERCIAL CAME ON THE OTHER DAY. WTF. SHAMWOWS.

OMG WE GOT TO ACCEPT AN AWESOME INDY APP EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ::FANGIRLFANGIRL::

Did you guys know I've seen the old Indiana Jones movies more times than I can count, that I can recite some Crusade scenes from memory if I try? That young Harrison Ford holy shit no one can ever compete Indy was my ill-fated, ill-timed adolescent crush?

Oh, yes. I love my Indy.

SO. For Andrew's birthday today (HAPPY (KINDA) BELATED BIRTHDAY, evildrew!!! <3<3<3), we went and saw Indiana Jones and the Plastic Surgery Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls on opening day. Oh yes, watching my Indy--who I had previously considered forever young--with grey hair and wrinkles was painful, and I was suspicious of this old man who had donned the fedora and pretended to be my childhood hero. Soon, however, I realized he had the same half-goofy, half-badass antics, the same cheesy lines, the same crazy escapes and generally the same spirit about him. My Indy! He lived! I sat in glee at the action scenes (Indy's greatest escape yet!), the crazy commies (no moar Nazis? weirdly sad!), the jokes (SNAKES!), and the adorable, adorable character interaction (will not spoil!). Three quarters through the movie, I was thinking "You know? This is actually PRETTY DAMN GOOD, all incredibly unsettling CGI aside!"

AND THEN

AND THEN

( WHAT IN GOD'S NAME-- (SPOILERS) )

Bottom Line: Exceeded expectations even if the climax was "wtf"-worthy. Old!Indy was surprisingly easy to acclimate to after a while, even though I now feel like I need to watch Raiders to get some my hot Indy fix. >_>;

THE REAL QUESTION ON EVERYONE'S MIND?: I hate to betray my beloved Indy and say this, but yeah, Iron Man was better IMHO. D: If you have to choose between the two, GO FOR THE STILL-ATTRACTIVE TONY STARK. But seriously, I forgot to mention how I saw Iron Man, and it really was fantastic. I won't pretent to know the original canon (omgposer) but the movie was super-enjoyable even for someone new to the series.

THE REAL, REAL QUESTION ON EVERYONE'S MIND?: Actually, it's kind of hard to say if it was better than Temple of Doom, considering the ending. The character interaction works in its favor, though. I SUPPOSE ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

Also, one has to wonder why all these ancient civilizations spent centuries building these intricate structures that are DESIGNED TO IMMEDIATELY FALL APART ONCE SOMEONE ACTUALLY SETS FOOT IN THEM.

We need an Indy at Landel's, stat. A young one. 8D

ORITE: Two more things:

CONCERNING SUPERNATURAL

CONCERNING GAY SUPERHEROES

I blame famira for the last one.
