So I thought I'd post a poll on this auspicious date. Oh, and ask opinions on the new Indy film as I've sen mixed reviews from people that normally have similar opinions.

Also, am watching Sunshine on DVD. It's shit, unfortunately, I'd heard that people that liked Event Horizon liked it and others didn't, as I liked that film, I thought I'd give it a go. Ah well.

ETA: It's stripped out the link to John's Wedding speech from the anniversary bit, silly LJ.

That makes sense in many ways, yes—Raiders remains a great set of set peices—I suspect when a kid I just enjoyed the ride far too much to pay attention tothe quality.

I'll be waiting for the DVD I suspect.

Raiders had good plot. It just effortlessly and smoothly inserted it between the cool set pieces, and acknoledged that people weren't coming to see this for the plot.

The Mummy (the first one of the modern redo of that) does Indianna Jones better than Temple of Doom or Crystal Skull because it understands this.

It seems that George Lucas can come up with great films when he first tries a concept, but he then tinkers and messes with it too much, and loses the purity and simplicty that was the things strength.
