Spatulater bro! posted:I think Temple is a movie that requires childhood nostalgia. If I saw it first as a teen or adult I'd likely despise it. I first saw it as an adult and loved it. It just starts at a full 100% and then never lets up. One of the few times it feels like Spielberg just let his id run wild in a film. That said, it's definitely the most racist Indiana Jones movie.

As someone who saw Temple of Doom at a very young age, Short Round actually does work really well as a way for a kid to feel more "involved" in Indy's adventures. Like, it's much easier to imagine that you're the kid who tags along with Indy as opposed to trying to imagine you're Indy himself. And that also made the cultist scenes pretty scary because now Indy is brainwashed and he's all evil and nobody is going to save us from getting our hearts snatched out of our chests. I definitely spent way more time daydreaming about fighting alongside Indy in that huge amazing set with the giant skull face than I did any other scenario from the trilogy.

I loved Temple of Doom until I was older and realized it's pretty loving racist. I haven't watched it in a very long time. Short round doesn't really escape the stereotyping. Just off the top of my head I remember him saying "It's feels like we're walking on fortune cookies." when they're in that cave with all the bugs. that's slightly less terrible when compared to the rest of the movie, but it's still not good.

CelticPredator posted:Not my hunky boys!!!! Vaccine is more important now, I don't care about the hunky boys. ...or do I??? Anyway I imagine that's also going to affect other boutique print-on-demand releases that were supposed to be coming out. The Severin Andy Milligan Collection is supposed to release soon, may be delayed then, but it's not like I haven't already been buying a ton of other movies.

The Andy Milligan set will complete my unholy trinity of wonderfully horrible filmmaker collections (Al Adamson and William Grefe are the other two).

My Gattaca 4K Steelbook arrived, the disc was loose inside the sealed case. Thankfully it seems ok, saw no scratches or damage, tested the disc and it was fine. Not sure how good this transfer is based on a brief watch of a random scene, grainier than I expected given the age of the film but I'm not a grain hater per se. Interested to see what Blu Ray scores it.

You know what I'm waiting on? Netflix to keep releasing their best shows on blu ray. Looking at you season three of stranger things and the Haunting of Bly Manor. also, Rat Race is finally coming to blu ray on June 1st. (one of the best comedies of the last thirty years that not enough people talk about).

Spatulater bro! posted:I've never seen them but I'm sure interested in Robert Crumb. Are they any good? Crumb didn't like the original Fritz. It's not a "fun" movie, cuz it takes a pretty dark turn and keeps getting darker. It's a cynical look at the counter-culture of the 1960's. The film does a lot to show it doesn't endorse Fritz is a terrible privileged rear end in a top hat, but it's more of a picaresque tale with that as the central character. It's still a movie where a cop is a pig with a small cock, but the crows are straight out of Dumbo. You can watch it on Amazon Prime to see if you like it. I never saw the sequel, which I hear is more of a straightforward animated sex comedy? Bakshi wasn't involved and Crumb didn't like it and everyone I read preferred the original.

I've got a copy of it which I haven't read yet and after what you're saying here I wonder what it's like and how it compares to the movie. I'll probably take a gander at it tomorrow.

I bought that two-pack of godawful misogynistic Gene Roddenberry failed tv pilots during the Warner sale partly out of morbid curiosity and partly so I could do write-ups of them for the Star Trek thread. In essence: VoodooXT posted:There will never be a bottom for me.
