damn - 5???
temple of doom at 5 yo probably woulda fucked me up
woke forestWhat are you blaming it on instead ?
Watched Temple of Doom with the 5yo after he became obsessed with Indiana Jones from our watching of Raiders of the Lost Ark & Last Crusade.
He didn't like it as much. Too scary when they enter the temple with the bugs and the human sacrifice (though he did like the heart removal). The ending saves it (mine car chase and collapsed bridge fight).
Started Crystal Skull last night even though I warned him it sucks. I think it's the only one I've seen just once. Even the most recent one I watched twice.
It's impossible to match Raiders, so unsurprisingly, they never did. I saw all three in the theater. I guess I was around 9 for the first one, middle school for the second, and high school for the third. Loved Raiders, needless to say, and even the gross shit in it like the plane propeller scene and the melting/exploding head scene. So when Temple came out, the ripped heart scene seemed like par for the course. But I'm with your kid-- never liked Temple very much and still don't watch it when it's on. But I'll always rewatch Raiders and Last Crusade.
Crystal Skull is a mess. Started ok and finished poorly. The same could be said for the most recent one, which I think was redeeming the series until the absurd ending. Indy is best when it makes the supernatural and outlandish somehow fall within the realm of plausibility. The Ark, witch doctors, the Grail...all that stuff is supernatural so it retains the notion of possible impossibility, kinda like a ghost story would. Aliens and time travel is another matter entirely. I guess it's too tangible or something.
Might screenshot this and then teach the movie and then let the gen Zs eat biff tannenThe Holdovers is an absolutely useless movie. No reason it should have even been made.
