Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My circuit was predicting that Indy in its second week would top the opening weekend of S&tC so Carrie and her crew did outdo predictions in that regard. Oddly enough, the #1 movie at my theatre was The Strangers. I think it's because the theatre down the street only got one print so we were able to compete with them for a change.

the thing Indy's looking for in any given is what kicks off the action, but I've never given it enough importance to really care what it was, let alone make it part of my personal definition of what makes it an Indy movie.
I've actually given it thought because of one thing -- The two best Indy movies are the ones where he's trying to recover Christian relics. The two lesser movies, he is not.

Absolutely. I don't know why this is, but it is true.
That's why I advocate Indiana Jones and The Spear of Destiny. Alas, my genius will go unrecognized as by the time I could work any miracles like completing a script, Harrison Ford will have crumbled to dust.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The Spear of Destiny
is that the one the roman soldiers poked Jesus with?

Wow. I guess I did just totally forget about the Jews, huh? They might have a thing or two to say about the Ark and whose relic it is.

I don't remember my first R rated movie, but I do remember Poltergeist (another PG-13 precursor) scaring the beJesus out of me. I was terrified to see E.T. and kept my eyes shielded for the first 15 minutes or so out of fear that it would be Poltergeist -scary.
