(Yeah, if I remember that abomination that was Crystal Skull correctly, Tovarish Spalko never tries her supposedly psychic abilities on anyone else.)
This Indiana Jones talk reminds me Iāve yet to post in the movie thread since Iāve been back despite the fact that pretty much all Iāve been doing this terrible year and since last terrible year has been watching a bunch of movies, including just watching Rust & Bone earlier today. I need to make sure to post it in before weekās end since otherwise Iāll just put it off again.
I see. First and foremost, I am pretty sure that a bunch of people found the rubber boat thing ridiculous, but given I wasnāt existent on the team, I donāt know how in-theaters audiences actually reacted. At least the raft landed in snow though, which at least is a semi-plausible bullshit explanation, especially since it was necessary for them to get out of live. The nuke-surviving fridge thing just turned a bunch of people off because not only was it implausible, but it was utterly unnecessary for it to happen at all in the first place.
That said, given I was literally researching Indiana Jones yesterday for writing related reasons, I find it amusing that apparently hating Willie Scott is what Spielberg wanted people to do, so he succeeded there unlike pretty much any of the characterization that gets thrown around in Crystal Skull; at the very least, Spielberg apparently wanted her to be markedly different from Marion and he āsucceededā in that sense.
In fact, I would say that Spalko is where he fails the hardest character-wise in that movie because she seems interesting on the surface, but we really donāt get to know much of anything actually all that substantial about her despite the fact that she isnāt really āevilā, her men murdering those military guards to get into Area 51 or whatever aside. Sheās basically the maybe-psychic, communist version of Indiana, but beyond learning that sheās semi-accomplished with a sword (and yet effectively gets fought to a stand-still by a high schooler), we basically donāt learn anything about her. Hell, we learned more about Elsa than Spalko, and Iād argue that Elsa was far more of a villain than Spalko or, at least, had far less noble intentions.
Irina Spalko being a character of wasted potential is just another thing that makes me dislike Crystal Skull to be honest (and not just because itās a waste of Cate Blanchett during a fake sexy Russian accent).
Why are women going nuts over Rhianna being fat now? Is that really a thing to celebrate?
There is nothing semi-plausable about landing in snow and surviving from that high up, snow that high up is more akin to ice, packed extremely tight and just shy of being hard as the mountain it sits upon. Sorry but that whole scene is as bullshit as the fridge. Iād have bought Indy crashing the plane into the side of the mountain and using that as his sled down the mountain over him landing on it in a rubber boat. The worst part about it tho imo is how fucking bad it looks. Looks like a 1960ās driving scene where they put the projector screen behind the car and think we are gonna be fooled that the people in the car are actually driving.
And youāre right no doubt, Spalko is wasted, but sheās still more a character then Mola Ram ever was. Least she has character to waste, Mola Ram just a dude who likes to open his eyes way too wide lol.
(Ha. Now Iām picturing Indy riding an explosion as a sled.)
Yeah, I donāt dispute itās bullshit or that the special effects of Temple of Doom wereā¦lacking in certain areas. I just think that Crystal Skull was still worse overall, in part because it was far more disappointing (to me) and in part because Temple of Doom at least has moments that are iconic for reasons other than being an unintentional joke like Crystal Skull and in part because, again, while the raft was bullshit, it was at least ānecessaryā bullshit unlike the atomic blast that added nothing to the fourth movie but derision.
To continue to be honest, though, of the original trilogy, Temple of Doom is the only one that I know I have sure seen all the way through (at least twice) whereas I cannot say the same for Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Last Crusade, though Iāve at least seen significant portion of those two. So I know that nostalgia is also a part of me liking Temple of Doom over Crystal Skull, which I saw with associates back in college when it came out in theaters. Before I get crucified for that, though, I will state that I had intended to rectify that before the end of this week, right after I watch Snatch and these overdue Jack Irish videos.
Find a flaw
Protip: you canāt
Thats cool, Iām not trying to say you have to like one over the other or anything, just explaining why I like Doom the least, and that I donāt hate Doom in any capacity really aside from Willie. Itās funny that Spielburg wants me to hate her (he succeeded) when he should have just cut her from the movie and made me hate Mola Ram instead since heās the fucking villain but instead I end up hating a protagonist and mostly forgetting about the villain completely lol.
Her dicc is bigger than yours. Thatās a flaw 
Small tits and no ass.
Two right there.
is assuming the content of an article purely based on the title something specific to our generation and after? It seems like everyone will have a 20 string comment thread based on an articles title and not the article content itself.
The flaw is that you posted it?
Did you get a job in engineering again btww
If somehow he gets involved, I believe thatās grounds for nailing him to a wooden cross and making him die for his own sins.
If any Star Wars fans get in the way (and happen to have their heads up his ass enough to ignore episodes 1-3), we can show them their own crosses and say, āYouāre just in time for the sacrifice.ā
Ok, Iām getting morbid. Time to sleep.

Had to look behind the hair, but I found it.
ā¦Yeah, Iām pretty certain as a crappy as this year as has gone for me, that if I hadnāt taken a break, then I would have permabanned @āTekno Virusā by now.
Stop acting stupid, especially with the NSFW .gifs, unless you want a summer and beyond vacation from SRK.
Yeah, I can understand that. Itās even funnier when you consider that apparently Spielberg went on to the marry the woman that played Willie Scott, Kate Capshaw apparently, in 1991 and heās still with her to this day with five kids. So I guess at least something good came out of Temple of Doom even for the people who do absolutely hate it.
Too bad you canāt say the same about Crystal Skull. [/cheap shot]
No, maxx. Itās just far more noticeable nowadays due to the nature of the Internet, just like the majority of kvetching about how things are so much worse nowadays even when only implicitly compared to the āgood 'ol daysā when humanity has always been this fucking dumb and disappointing.
It will be for that new wb streaming service
in this over sensitive climate? 10% of the jokes woulda gotten the original cancelled by season 1.
Same chick that beat up malnourished dude?
@āMissing Personā still canāt beat me in ST or Street Fighter in general. Heās madā¦
Comic book readers, was Wonder Woman Year One by Grant Morrison any good?
