My Encounter With Mandeep

It has been a long, long time since I've written a real blog. Since the pandemic days, in fact. But this warrants it. So there I was, going about my usual afternoon busywork at the AVN compound, when I hear a call from downstairs: "Hello?" I thought I heard my co-worker moving in that direction to see what was up, but then a few minutes later: "Hello?" Looked like it was gonna be up to me. So down the stairs I plodded, and immediately found myself face-to-face with a short, pudgy, balding man seemingly of Indian descent, whom I will call "Mandeep" for the purposes of discretion.  "Hello sir, is there somebody I can talk to here?

I Have Seen the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Actually, I literally have, seeing as how said Kingdom is supposed to be located in Peru, and I once spent a month in Peru. But what I'm really trying to say here is that yes, I saw the new Indiana Jones through one of those sweet, sweet opportunities my mainstream critic connections sometimes still afford me.

Some of those I was with weren't all that enthralled with it, but if you ask me, it's classic Indy. I will spoil it no further. Go to your midnight shows tonight and have a blast. Just remember that by then I will have seen it over three days ago at the studio putting it out, and therefore am at least as cool as Harry Knowles. (Though I'm pretty sure cooler, if I may be so bold.)
