'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Stand By Me!
Now I remember!!
The plot of Temple of Doom is about Indy needing to recover Shiva's junk.

Really? Didn't Indy break $100 million? Was the three-day total under $55 million? SATC had a bigger opening weekend than Prince Caspian, too.

Given that
1) SatC is the only movie (in the year I've been here) that has been announced on the marquee of my local theater in advance, and
2) had people (with tickets) waiting in line 1/2 hour before the show,
3) had people in the audience cheering as the lights dimmed,
I'm not surprised.

Oh yeah. In 7th grade English we each had a dictionary under our desks. Man was I popular in 7th grade English.

That's what the stone with three stripes is -- a Shiva lingam -- Shiva's dork.
Whoops, my mistake. I forgot that Indy opened last weekend. Duh.
