The most recent example for me was Iron Man. Sure it's predictable: Dude invents iron suit, saves world, gets the girl, credits roll. But somewhere between the first explosion and the "no animals were harmed in this film" disclaimer I've been transformed.
I walk out of the cinema and suddenly everything's different. The short lob of my coke bottle to the bin is suddenly a grenade perfectly hitting the evil terrorist's bunker. The kids playing time crisis in the arcade are allies giving me cover as i walk to the carpark. Even my car seems to go faster as i negotiate the superfluous speed bumps. "10 km/hr! Eat my dust Westfiled."
I promise you i'm not crazy. I don't have some gun fetish. I just know that after i saw the latest 007 movie it took me 10 minutes to start the ignition because i was convinced there would be a car bomb.
Don't be concerned, i'll be ok. Just don't be surprised if you find me digging up your garden after watching Indiana Jones next week.

bahahahahaha hilarious. I so need to see that movie.
Write more, already. This entry is still funny upon second reading. I stil get that feeling every now and then. I think if the movie sticks in your head then that's a mark of its success. Certainly everything I've heard about this one seems to like it. As for Indianna Jones, Starwars was enough of George Lucas for me. Still, it should be interesting, in the same way that the new Rocky movie is. The elder statesmen of action seem to be back in. Even Iron Man isn't as youthful as superheros usually are.
