Temple of Doom was the worst of the original three but it had some of the best sequences and at least had some motherfucking grit to it. You don't see kids having nightmares cuz of Crystal Skull, that's for sure. The chase on a college campus was the only part of Crystal Skull where I felt alive.

Lol at the bad film lovers jumping to defend the execrable Holy Grail snoozefest. Dr Cheeto posted:I'm sorry that you can't see how a movie where Sean Connery and Harrison Ford have a cool adventure is better than the worst movie Lucas has ever been associated with. I don't dispute that The Last Crusade is better than Attack of the Clones, no. Just that it's far less interesting and deserving of praise than its belated follow-up.

Someone in GBS 2.0 is badmouthing a favorite movie of mine? Yes, this is definitely the place to seriously defend its merits. This is the hill I die on.

jarofpiss posted:crystal skull is objectively better than temple of doom (which is total trash). raiders is perfect, last crusade is pretty good. if you don't agree with me suck my loving dick. Temple of Doom is the movie where when people make a sequel they think "We could make this more accessible, or we could make it more dark and grizzly" and they pick accessible because of Temple of Doom, not because it's a worse choice, because Temple of Doom is the weakest of the first three movies, but you're wrong about Crystal Skull somehow being better than temple of doom you idiot bitch. Crystal Skull is super bad.

Crystal Skull had the ants that ate people, and that's quite the classic Indiana Jones poo poo, and it also had some pretty okay car chases. The plot was terrible and Shia TheBeef was bad too. Temple of Doom has embarrassingly blatant racism and takes a serious step back from Raiders in terms of making sense and being interesting. It went from Nazis wanting a holy relic from Christianity to having an Evil Indian God run by the Evil Indians Who Eat Bugs And People who had to be fought by the Good White Man who was asked by the Helpless Innocent Indians Living in Poverty So really they're about on the same level for me, which is far below Raiders and Last Crusade

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using an Indian death and child labor cult as villains and I refuse to hear otherwise The dinner scene with the snakes was racist/gross though, but smdh if you're so upset about imperialism Indy can't punch the heart-rippers

Raku posted:There is absolutely nothing wrong with using an Indian death and child labor cult as villains and I refuse to hear otherwise It's more the overall feeling of Indiana as some Western explorer in the Orient, using the assumptions of Orientalism to inform the writing of the script So basically Lucas and Spielberg were just dumb racist babies around that time of the 80s and it shows I mean the heart-ripping was loving fantastic, it was moreso the casual stuff like an Indian dude tricking the fat, complacent but benevolent British overlord or whatever while wearing Western clothes and then turning into a literal bloodthirsty savage when they're not looking Eumenides fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jul 5, 2015 |

Indiana Jones should never have left the house because the Nazis all kill themselves anyway in both Raiders and Last Crusade. Dude has no effect on the narrative. In Temple he frees those kids, but they're all gonna starve to death in their villages. It's like, just stick to plowing undergrads, dude.

In the 1980's! arent you the guy who beat and then dumped your girlfriend + infant daughter to post in GBs and drink, and then your gf got an account and followed you around asking you to please come back to take care of your child, so you left the forums for a while?

Or hate both of them with the kind of passion usually reserved for the man that fed your dog snail pellets because she was scared of possums and barked at them.

It's not so much the explosion but the flying a kilometer away from the ersatz town. e: on the other hand, landing on a mountain with an inflatable raft, which while survivable in principle would be difficult in practice
