I saw that in a theater when I was around 16. Packed house at the start of the movie, only a handful of us left at the end.
I’m gonna say it - I like Temple of Doom. I think we all have movies that were part of our childhood due to VHS. Temple of Doom was one of ours and we wore that fucker out. Also it gave us this:
on the subject of movies though, here's something everyone needs to watch right now. The award-winning documentary on the Isle of Man TT, full length on youtube.
Everyone who grew up in that era had Temple of Doom on VHS. I really like that movie too. As a prequel to Raiders, it’s the perfect setup for the other two movies. At the beginning of ToD, Indy is kind of a scumbag/lowlife. At the end, he becomes the hero known in the other two movies.
Spielberg casting his slam-piece as movie history’s most annoying and whiney romantic lead was a FATAL mistake. Pale shadow to Karen Allen’s hard-drinking tomboy.
Saw that a bit ago. My first thought was those people are so stupid some of it has to be acting, but then I remembered that it took place in Florida. I think jacksonville area specifically? The whole fucking state is like that. Unless you live there, or visit there frequently, you think it's some kind of joke but it isn't. Jerry Springer lives down there, taped his show down there mostly mining the locals for content. We know his neighbors, didn't realize it until I was drinking at their house and they pointed out I was within "Jerry!! Jerry!!" shouting distance.
must have been mistaken. I’d talked to quite a few drivers in the Tampa/St Pete/Sarasota area who said they chauffeured around guests. Maybe it was for b-roll stuff filming where they lived? IMDB says the actual show was filmed in Cincinnati, Chicago, and Stamford
Seeing that race live is on my bucket list. It is fucking mind-blowing, and when I was deployed and couldn't ride, or bike-less, I would watch highlights of the TT. I think most of us could hop in a race car and while you're not competitive, you could get it around most tracks in excess of a speed limit. The bikes, however, require a skill that is otherworldly, on a track specifically designed for them. A road course at racing speed requires skill and talent that is awe-inspiring. Aside from being clinically insane, the way those guys maneuver is like surgical ballet at 140 mph. It's stunning to watch, and in the last few years the drone coverage, HD and slow motion show how incredible it is. In other news, you know what goes great with a mysterious back injury? Vivid, sensual, sex dreams about coworkers, specifically my pear-shaped female boss that weighs about as much as I do. Thanks, brain, guess I'll be getting up at 2 a.m. again.
It was filmed in Chicago. Jerry was just the mayor of Cincinnati and famously paid for a prostitute with a check. He lived a few neighborhoods over from me when I was a kid. Ive ran into him a number of times super nice guy.
So they’re removing the “Into the Wild” bus from Alaska, which was a great memorial to people who are complete fucking idiots:
That place should be allowed to stay there forever. It’s the perfect moron trap. Being a moron here has few consequences outside of a moving vehicle. If you’re a moron up in Alaska you’re fucked.
AKKKKKTSCHHUALLLLYYYY ...it was filmed in Chicago until 2009, then Stamford Connecticut until 2018. So we both win.
