Well, I caught IJatToD (gee, finally a pronounceable acronym) tonight. Giving that it's 5am local and I've been hacking punch-down blocks all night, some impressions: First off, not a movie for the very young. While it is in no way outstanding in terms of gore, it does rate up there in nightmare-producing potential. I know there were scenes that had *me* squirming in my seat (I have trouble dealing with insects...). It's certainly well paced. The consensus among the people I went to the show with was that we all needed a good rest after it was done. The logical Karen Allen actress did a good job, in a tricky part. How'd *you* like to have to play against an overblown persona like Jones? And, of course, all the jokes, chase scenes, desperate situations, and stunts we've come to know and love. Really impressive was a single camera, no cut, skydive gag. I know who *I'd* like to own a 1% share in this summer...
