This morning I woke up and the day was nothing but possibilities. I was happy, rearing to go and excited because yesterday I had made plans with a friend to go see a movie. A movie which was the fourth in a series of movies that I absolutely loved. This was a big deal because I had never seen any of these movies on the big screen before. Raiders of the Lost Ark came out the year before I was born. I was two when Temple of Doom was released and was still in a Ninja Turtles phase when Last Crusade bounded onto the screen. I had to make love to these movies through a VHS player and a 27 inch screen and while pleasant, wasn’t ideal. Now, finally, in 2008 I would see a new Indiana Jones movie, in a theater! Not only that, but Spielberg was directing, Harrison Ford was starring and even Karen Allen was back. Hot damn.
At 3:45pm PST the movie started. At 3:55pm PST I began to get worried. At 5:45pm PST when I left the theater I felt like something was terribly wrong. I struggled with words. I tried convey a sense of what I just went through, and that is when I realized…
On Tuesday, May 27th, 2008, I paid $8 for George Lucas to rape me.
