Some relationships are like James Bond movies. Others are like Indiana Jones movies. I like the ones that are like Indiana Jones movies. See, James Bond movies start out really strong. Each one starts with a fast paced, mind-blowing action sequence. Then, it's followed by an equally awesome opening titles sequence usually accompanied by a sweet song. After that, the movie calms down, the plot starts, and it never regains its footing. That's the problem with James Bond movies -- the best part is the first ten minutes, then it all goes downhill and can't recover. How can you beat the first ten minutes?
Indiana Jones movies may not have mind blowing opening credits or sweet songs, but they do open with a killer action sequence -- and then the best part: you get additional consistent thrills roughly once every ten minutes or so. Every time you turn around, there's a new, exciting action sequence. An Indiana Jones movie is the first ten minutes of a James Bond movie repeated 12 times in a row. This is especially true of the first two, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. Or, as I like to call it, INDIANA JONES AND ONE DAMN THING AFTER ANOTHER.
Maybe I should just date Indiana Jones.
