mostly he said that Tom Hardy has a bizarre accent that sounds most reminiscent of Bobcat Goldthwait
Raiders is basically a perfect action-adventure movie, possible offscreen teenage sex nothwithstanding
I mean name any action scene better than the truck scene, or the fistfight with the huge Nazi by the weird flying wing fighter. You canât.

I mean sure, Temple is weird and basically bad and Crusaders is basically a comedy (pretty good one though) but Raiders man. Raiders.

Raiders is fine. Itâs the only good one. Iâve never been blown away by it.
Basically Spielberg peaked in the 70s
??!?!
Never picked up on this before and holy shit gross
in fairness âjust a kidâ could easily mean that she was like 20 and he was 30 depending on how theyâre framing it
I donât think itâs a particularly egregious example thanks to Spielberg knowing enough to leave his horn dog friendâs suggestion ambiguous
hell at that rate the idea of a woman actually holding her professor sleeping with her against him is borderline progressive for 1981

yes, movies like this for sure helped reinforce the horrifying fiction that we in the US are âthe good guys,â and this was undoubtedly the intent, too
I didnât say this was fine and great or anything

also, before I forget to dump my thoughts
oh no
Alita was good
all my teeth-gnashing and mocking over the past 9 months about the eyes and how this movie was being sent out to die with three separate release dates was for naught once I got to the first action scene and went oh wait, Robert Rodriguez knows how to stage and shoot action and work heavily with VFX
well, if we got a second Pacific Rim, this should get like, 3 more movies and a prequel, right

Unfortunately it will probably take around 7 more movies before they get to the Penis Monster from Mercury
âGoodâ is a strong word for Alita but, like, it was ok. Great production design, very good action scenes and meh to bad on everything else, so for a Hollywood action movie thatâs doing pretty well.
one of my favourite things about you is how no matter how busy you get as an adult, youâve always seen every new action movie within days of its release in theatres

You just have to go alone at 10 by yourself after the kids are down. Never sleep, is the key.

i still canât help but like indiana jones a lot, but the series is definitely uh âproblematic.â i think it became such a mainstream success so quickly and resolutely that it is easy to forget that spielberg & lucas looked to old genre movies and serials and stuff for inspiration in a way that was more or less the same game as idiotic âanti-political correctnessâ crusaders, and basically wanted to to a movie where Men were Men and Colonizers had to protect the Treasures of the World from crude native children or whatever. making Jones an archaeologist who wants to keep fascists from getting artifacts is more or less just a cover for some white manâs burden bullshit.
i think the stuff with marion is basically part of this. like lucas thought jones statutory raping a teenager made him more like one of his heroes of old. itâs gross!
this is why temple of doom is the best one, btw, because it is so unrepentant in its bullshit that it is almost possible to look at it as self-satire

and then Lucas did it without outside assistance again 15 years later and blessed us with Jar Jar and Watto
