Poll: Favorite Indiana Jones Movie

I can honestly say that I learned more about history watching the Indiana Jones trilogy (yes, trilogy) than in my formal education. Who were the bad guys in WWII? The Nazis. Who were the good guys in WWII? The good ol' US of A, those guys who talked like James Bond and the man who single-handedly won the war for the Allies: Indiana Mother-Fucking Jones.

Of his THREE films, my favorite happens to be the dark horse of the lot, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. Sure it may be a controversial choice but what it lacks in face melting Nazi goodness, it makes up for in the only non-annoying child sidekick in the history of cinema; the one, the only, Wan Li, aka SHORT ROUND!

What more can you ask for in a buddy while on the hunt for fortune and glory? He drives (badly), knows kung-fu, cheats at cards, burns little Indian boys with torches for kicks, and isn't afraid to openly profess his love for you when you've been poisoned with will-breaking dark blood! That movie should have been called 

Short Round and The Temple of Doom Filled With Insane Cultists Who's Asses He Kicks

So which of Dr. Henry Jones Jr.'s adventures is your favorite? Vote on the poll in the sidebar and tell us why in the comments!

5 books I recommend for summer reading...

Summer is half over but there is still plenty of reading time left.  Here are some books of varied interest to pick up.

Eaters of the Dead: Not a well known Micheal Crichton book but engrossing non the less.  The story takes place in the time of Vikings.  An Arab ambassador has to accompany a group of Viking warriors to battle an ancient evil.  Excellent read.
The Day of the Jackal: This is actually my all time favorite book.  Based in 1960's Europe, a radical French group has hired an assassin code named The Jackal to kill Charles De Gual.  You will not be able to put this book down!  If suspense has a name, it's The Day of the Jackal.
The Broker:  I'm not normally a fan of John Grisham but this book has a interesting plot.  Basically this broker who was part of all these shady deals is sent to lay low in an Italian city by the U.S. government.  The characters are interesting but what makes the book go is accounts of trying to blend in and disappear in a foreign city.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service:  It was a pretty good Bond film but it is an excellent Bond book.  Bond hits his emotional breaking point while battling his arch nemeses.  Great actions scenes, excellently paced.
Thor: Vikings:  This is an amazing graphic novel, fun from start to finish.  Thor gets beat up by Vikings, then he travels through time to get help to fight said Vikings.
