I assume the formula is famous name + cheap premise + picture of a studio exec doing something illegal in all 50 states = green light 

These movies sit the same blind spot for me the Fast and Furious movies do.

This was a HELL of a better send off than Crystal Skull. 

“a movie that he will heroically defend for as long as he lives”

... yeah? Because it’s a great fucking movie?

2.5 really. Every time I watch Temple of Doom it confusingly cuts from a raft falling out a plane to a mine cart chase. There seems to be a whole middle section missing. Too bad too, I’m sure there was no problematic stuff there.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s list of the of 20 best lists on AV this month.

The Fate of Atlantis would have made a fun movie.

Yeah, what little we see of him in Raiders isn’t pitiful, he’s slick, a mover and a shaker. There’s a great moment when Indy’s showing him other artifacts he picked up in the adventure at the beginning of the film, trying to convince Brody to finance a trip to get the idol back from Belloq.

Indy, Jones Sr., Marcus and Sullah riding into the sunset at the end of Crusade was just such a perfect bow on the original run.

Just one time I’d like to see one of these “OH NOES THE NAZIS ARE TRYING OCCULT SHIT AGAIN” stories where the hero is like “Nah, no worries, they absolutely WILL fuck it up.”

“Ah, does anyone here speak English?”

Reboot with Ed Sheeran as younger Indy!
