So I went to a free screening of Indy last night, and while I usually have no problem embracing the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy your typical Spielberg flick, I was really annoyed by the last scene: Indy’s hat dramatically blows to the feet of Mutt (Side o’ Beef), and just as Mutt is about to pick up the hat, Indy says, “Not so fast,” and grabs it back. While I understand that this sets up Ford’s appearance in the franchise’s next offering, I just couldn’t get over the boomer-centric subtext. Harrison Ford, the 66-year-old actor, still can’t entirely pass the baton to Side o’ Beef.
[BTW, you can buy your own Indiana hat for a mere $499.99 here.]
