Mosht thingsh in here don’t react well to bulletsh.

This. Right here.

Well, technically speaking, not *now* Run the Series. I did two of them last month!

Brosnan’s callback comes in The World is Not Enough, when Elektra asks Bond if he’s ever lost a loved one and he pointedly dodges the question.

I adore how Lao Che is treated like this huge recurring nemesis in a much bigger story that doesn’t actually exist. Really gives the sense that Indy has a whole life outside the bubble of what we get to see.

I think Short Round benefited from Willie being insufferable. Replace her with Marion and SR is going to be a more conventionally irritation kid sidekick.

I think the first American car to win the FIA GT Championship and the first car put on the National Historic Vehicle Register is the natural choice: the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.

Has to be the 1978-79 Dodge Lil Red Express pickup trucks. Regular cab, side stacks, “lil”, marketed as “adult toys”…these couldn’t have been sold anywhere else (except in America’s hat). Happy Birthday ‘Murica!

I love Temple of Doom, I really do. It succeeds wonderfully at being the literal roller coaster ride it’s intended to be. And it accomplishes the impossible by having its awkwardly introduced cute kid be not only non-annoying, but a great character you want to know more about and spend time with. But I like dialogue.…

Yeah, it’s probably more accurate to say I would rewatch OG movie and LC in their entirety but I would watch those set pieces of ToD plus the mine cart and fast forward through the rest.

From the start of the film, to them getting past the rapids, I’d argue it’s as close to perfect for an action film as is possible.

That was very nice of him, and this ranking certainly comports with Spielberg’s own supposed reservations about Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull, but, on the other hand: c’mon.

I will accept that The Wolverine and Logan are both better than Crystal Skull, however.

Regarding the franchise’s future, boy, if only one of these movies had a young sidekick character who could take over as the main hero, played by an actor who’s currently universally beloved thanks to a return to the job after decades that got him a ton of awards. But what are the odds of that happening?

hahaha Mel Brooks if you’re a realist! Perfect!

I had forgotten that Dalton made reference to the marriage — I actually kinda dig that. It sort of feels like a reference to the older movie, it *could* be its own thing, you don’t really know; similar to how M is Judi Dench in two different iterations. (Or how Q is…

We’ll have to agree to strongly disagree that Temple of Doom is a better movie than Last Crusade. ToD had some good action sequences but the rest was cringingly bad. When I saw it in the theater in its first run, I was so hype after the clever opening sequence and was gutted by how bad it was after that.

The idea that James Mangold -- who I like plenty -- directed an Indy movie that’s better than *half* of the ones Spielberg directed.... oh, no, no no no no.

So, we all get old, we cannae hack it any more, and that’s it?

Small cars are dead and gone.

I’ve been searching most of my adult life for this. The perfect car needs to deliver: daily, enthusiast, track, reliable, attainable, aftermarket/modification support, cachet, some practicality smiles per mile.

I suspect they’re just appeasing the vengeful SEO gods.
