Synchromysticism

The art of realizing meaningful coincidence in the seemingly mundane with mystical or esoteric significance."

That's not a K ... ookaburra, That's a K ... ookaburra?๐Ÿ

Indiana Jones and the
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
I was watching the first Indiana Jones movie on a streaming service the other day in an effort to get up to speed with the franchise before seeing the new movie screening at the cinema when I noticed the call of an Australian kookaburra in the South American jungle in the opening few sequences when Indy enters the temple and leaves it.
Too bad Indy didn't have a kookaburra with him when he was surrounded by snakes in Egypt later on in the film, with his fear of snakes:-)
Kookaburras and
the

"During the opening sequence of 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark', several of the birds heard in the Peruvian jungle are not native to South America, most notably the Australian Kookaburra."
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Director Leonard Nimoy
The elephant in the room in these Indiana Jones movies is the religious imagery of the snake as evil and Indy's kryptonite.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
(2023, the Year of the Rabbit)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
And let's not forget about that apple;-)
Released 1989, the Year of the Snake?
Kind of synchromystically dark how River Phoenix who played the young Indiana Jones who was scared of snakes in the 1989 (the Year of the Snake) 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' died on October 31st, 1993 outside the Viper Room.
And Sean Connery who played Indiana Jones' father and who was scared of rats in that movie died on October 31st, 2020, the Year of the Rat.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Jim Broadbent as Dean Charles Stanforth
I find it amusing that the last movie I saw at the cinema was one starring Jim Broadbent, who also starred in the last Indiana Jones movie, and the next movie I planned to see at the cinema is the new Indiana Jones movie:-)
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry?๐Ÿ‘ž๐Ÿ“ฉ๐Ÿ“ฎ
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull (2008)
The next movie I see after that at the cinema will probably be 'Oppenheimer';-)

UPDATE: July, 2023
In a local July 21st, 2023 Australian newspaper I saw the above story about the discovery of a new venomous snake they have named the 'Desert Whip Snake':-)
