For the record: my son said that ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ is the best film he has ever seen. He’s seen the previous three films, but only on DVD, so the whole ‘Indiana Jones in the cinema’ experience blew his 11-year-old mind AWAY. My take on it: Shia LaBeouf’s order of the Indy films was right on the money.

There was also a big chance that the thing we were going there to do would fall through so that all of the build-up Mike Atherton, Dan Light and I would create beforehand would be for nothing…

But it happened. Oh, did it happen…

After about 3 hours’ sleep, I got into a cab to Gatwick at 2.45am. We got the first flight to Nice, cab to the Carlton Hotel at Cannes, rushed up to room 738 and spent the next hour working out exactly what was going to happen… All the while, in the backs of our minds thinking ‘this isn’t going to happen, surely’.

Then, an hour or so after I arrived at the hotel… In walked, Steven Speilberg… After him Shia LaBeouf… then George Lucas… then…

Holy Mary Mother of Freakin’ God. Harrison God Damned Ford. *sigh*

We also spoke to Karen Allen and Cate Blanchett. Both Seesmic and Twitter went completely insane during the whole thing. There’s loads of reaction about this all over the web which is cool.

Seesmicer ‘Delboydare’ was watching it all with his daughters and their friend, his daughters asked Cate Blanchett a question via Twitter, so when she came in I asked her that question (and we weren’t sure whether her answer included a spoiler or not… but we posted it up immediately anyway;)

This morning ‘Delboydare’ left a message to me about the whole experience.

Now, I need a rest.
