Sure, that's fair. But do you really think that he's widely misunderstood? If that's your argument, then just ignore what I said above.LoathedVermin72 wrote:That doesn’t mean his work is widely understood.durdencommatyler wrote:Just that this argument doesn't fly with someone as renounced and adored as Spielberg, that's all.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Huh?durdencommatyler wrote:Nope.

I can't speak for everyone but I don't hate Temple of Doom. I think it's the worst of the Indy films by a fair margin but I still love the shit out of it.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Also, guys, I tried... but I really don't like Temple of Doom. I'm doing this whole positivity thing right now but even I can't defend it. It's totally fine. But it's not a very good movie. Though it is fun to watch from time to time, I guess. If I never saw it again, I'd be okay.

Re: What movies are you watching?
It was the first movie my parents took me to see in the theater. So, it has a special place in my heart. It may not be as good as Jaws but it was my introduction to Spielberg and will always be something I hold close.doug rr wrote:i've never seen ET
Except that remastered re-release where they edited out the guns. That was some fucking BULLSHIT.
