Who else laughed at....

any time Ewan McGregor's character was referred to as Dr. Jones?

Because I was giggling every time.

Were you thinking of Indiana?

All I could think of was Short Round from Temple Of Doom saying "You call him Dr.Jones!" Ewan even makes a remark about the ark of the covenent which made me laugh even more!

Oh yes! I couldn't help to think about Indiana every time and you're absolutely right about the Ark of the Covenent!

Plus, the idea of going to Yemen for the purpose of salmon fishing is a similar plot dichotomy as another Harrison Ford movie, The Mosquito Coast (also adapted from a novel), where Ford's character goes to the jungle to build an ice factory with his family, played by Helen Mirren and River Phoenix, who went on to play Young Indy Jones in The Last Crusade.

Every single time.

I've had "Dr. Jones" by Aqua stuck in my head. Which of course is a reference to Indiana Jones, as well. The first time I heard his name mentioned in the movie, I started singing the song. Much to my husband's dismay.
