54: stimuli for October 25, 2008

DVD: "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull": While not the cinematic rape depicted in South Park (BTW, nice reference to that in this week's episode: "A friend of ours was raped in Peru."), it's not quite a return to form for ol' Indy. Nice nostalgic ride, but nothing truly memorable.

"The Incredible Hulk": Ed Norton transforms into a CGI steroid addict and fights a mutated (and genital-less apparently) Tim Roth. Not as psychologically interesting as the previous Hulk movie, but enjoyable enough.

TV: "The Shield": The last couple of episodes were great, but this week's episode was unbelievably good. Like "what The Sopranos should have been in it's last season" good. And to believe there's only five episodes to go...

MUSIC: AC/DC, Black Ice: Yes, every AC/DC album is pretty much the same thing, but why mess with a winning formula?

CONCERT: Stone Temple Pilots, 10/22/2008: Man, what a great show that was! Two hours (and an encore) of solid rock and roll.
