Jan 28 2008Indiana Jones Home Theater Looking Okay
I would actually consider this "Indiana Jones" themed home theater more of an "Egyptian themed" home theater with some Indiana Jones props strewn about, but whatever. It's still way badder-ass than my theater, which is a pair of binoculars I use to watch my neighbor's television.
That being said, the movie props they have are pretty cool, including the golden idol from Raiders. You know what pissed me off about that? That Indy replaced the idol with a damn bag of sand. That thing had to weigh way more than a freaking bag of sand. Man that made me angry. And then when the monkey died because it ate a poisoned date? That was pretty upsetting too -- until you realized it was in with the Nazis and deserved to die. But how about that line by Sallah? He catches it, points to the monkey and says "Bad dates." Fucking classic! And speaking of bad dates, I went on one over the weekend. What made it so bad you ask? Take a wild guess. Yep, she had a penis. It was way bigger than mine. It happened again. I swear, eHarmony sucks.
A ton more pictures of the theater's movie props, after the whip-crack.

Carnival season started a week ago here in New Orleans and yesterday they had the Barkus parade, which is a bunch of crazy people dressing up their dogs in crazy get ups and the dogs then hating their owners forever.
ANYhooooo....the theme this year was Indiana Bones and the Crusaders of the Lost Bark. HA! Seriously, here's a link:

What happens if you want to watch something other than Indiana Jones? You have to change the whole set up. Now if you had a theater that changed themes while you watched tv to what ever you have on the boob tube at the moment, I'm in.

Hmm... are those gods painted on the fronts of some giant Magnepan speakers?

I don't see the appeal of these themed home theaters.
I also don't see the appeal of kids' Halloween costumes that have a crappy mask and then a plastic vest patterned with the character's logo.
The big screen kinda breaks the ancient Egyptian mood. Maybe it would work if you just played some video that looked like some animated hieroglyphs on the wall.

Must be great for watching Egyptian-themed adult DVDs.
