the snob opinion is that last crusade is too slick but it's the first movie i truly fell in love with as a kid. i think every beat is perfect and i like doing the moves alongside with the main character, indy

from river phoenix to the library to the rats to the castle fire to the zeppelin to the horse tank chase to the grail scene, it's the most memorable movie of all time

same

raiders was probably more novel if you were much younger and around as a kid when it came out in theater but if you’re more mid-late 80s baby you’re probably watching all 3 at once and lost crusade is definitely the most exciting and Sean Connery kicks rear end

everyone can agree temple of doom is pretty not good at least

it's aged well and very poorly in different ways but i actually think James Bond Indy in the temple of doom opening is the best intro of the franchise

god all three intro scenes are so good

I just watched Halloween and Carrie as a double feature. Carrie had 10x the budget and looks dated as hell. Halloween is not without its flaws but aged very well.

And I was thinkin how far money can go if you're precise , and do the VFX yourself

Temple of Doom is by far the weakest of the three original films largely due to the supporting cast but it's about on par with the average "franchise" movie that might come out in the 20s, maybe better

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Temple of Doom has a lot of really bad parts and a lot of parts that are gonna have you sucking air through your teeth from how incredibly uncomfortable they are, but it also has moments that gently caress harder than anything in any other indy movie, so its still a Good movie on the balance, even if that margin is pretty fuckin thin

yeah also if you have seen it I watched Miracle Mile (another 80s movie) by Steve de jarnatt and it’s incredible what he did on a 3.7 million budget and looks so good because they knew exactly what he needed to do and did vfx as well. the most dated aspect is the mullet on the main chick.

Halloween owns because John carpenter is god. shame about all the sequels tho

Completely agree with this, Temple of Doom has a killer opening complete with Jones' hubris thinking he's escaped the gangster only to reveal to the audience that the gangster actually owns the plane. It's a good gag, which is immediately followed by them falling like 100s of miles through the air on an inflatable raft and surviving.

But the movie hits hard, the bug room, the heart ripper, the broken bridge scene. These all gently caress with you in a way the others don't, except maybe muscle nazi.

yeah this is true. if they had cast just about anyone other than kate capshaw and also written the character significantly less annoying and stupid it would immediately make it a ton better'

also incase anyone missed it, Short Round plays the husband of michelle yeolle in EverythingEverywhere All At Once, which is pretty cool since it was his first real major gig since basically temple of doom

I'm working my way through some 70s movies I never saw. hence carrie and a rewatch of halloween cause I don't remember it from when I was a kid. so tonight was parallax view.

it was good, needed another pass on the script to just clarify something, anything. I never had a movie feel like it was mumbling and I had to go "what? what are you saying?"

Apparently yes, especially if you get on the local level. You get potential Emmys for news segments on the military and then military documentary programs.

Temple of Doom is the "worst" one because it's about a religion western white people don't understand or care about, if it was about some Doom Temple involving christianity and nazis people would like it more imo

Also thinking about it its kinda funny that the ultimate evil the cultists were committing was just some mining grift using free child labor. Imagining the evil priest sitting in his office counting coal profit rupees going "I'm rich biotch!!!"

I'm not saying this is inaccurate, and it's been idk at least a decade since I've seen Temple of Doom, but this is funny to me because the criticism I've heard most frequently about ToD before this post was that it's insanely racist.

Oh it definitely is super racist with poo poo like the monkey brain meal but its also most criticised in general, and not liking it because it isn't about nazis and christianity can be construed as racist from a certain point of view. A sort of mix between "the production and presentation is racist" as well as "the public reception is racist"
