Indy became old - and boring

Last week I saw the newest Indiana Jones movie, whose title is "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I expected a typical adventure-movie that includes action, some explosions, a lot of jokes and a funny story - characteristic things for the older films of the series.

But I was badly disappointed! There were aliens in the movie! Imagine: aliens in an adventure-movie! You can't do that at all, it's a no-go! That's just not Indiana Jones. I don't want to see a sci-fi-film!

Also the story was deadly unrealistic. An example: At the beginning, a nuclear bomb explode, when Indy was just hiding in a fridge - but, of course, it was no problem for our hero to hold the door closed, even when he hurtled several kilometers because of the explosion. Or: Indy meet his son and ex-girlfriend during his adventure. At the end, they married. It's so cheesy!

What was good in the film: Of course, the music, especially the famous Indy-melody ("datadadaaaa, datadaaaa - you know... ;) that is a real catchy tune. The special effects were also okay, but that's something you await from a big Hollywood blockbuster, don't you? And there were some funny jokes in it.

At all, I wouldn't recommend watching the movie in theatres. It's a sleeper! You do better, when you go to rent one of the old movies.

But here, for those who are interested: Watch the trailer on http://youtube.com/watch?v=lPTJ4v6KPrg.

I'm the type of person who ...

... hasn't a lot of time to write this blog-entry ... :/
... always likes to meet new people.
... plays golf.
... likes to drink beer.
... really loves Vancouver.

If you want to know more, just ask me - it's easier!

A strange encounter I've had in Vancouver

Actually I'm just here for some days - so I don't have a real strange encounter to write about... .

When I arrived at the airport, someone should pick me up and bring me to my home stay family. I found the man quite fast but he told me that we would have to wait for a Korean girl who will drive with us.

After about ten minutes she finally arrived and the driver was ready to go. But then the girl had totally disappeared! Where did she go? First I thought, she might have been gone to toilet without saying anything. My driver had the opinion she would be very shy and he was sure the girl must have been waited somewhere in the arriving hall.

So we searched there for her until the driver had the idea the Korean girl had to have been gone outside of the building - and, what a luck, after 20 minutes we found her finally there!

(I know, it's kind of a boring story...)
