I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Sad!

I'd probably say this is my third favorite Indy movie after Raiders and Last Crusade.

There is this cabal of youtube channels that absolute hate everything with how LFL has been handled under Disney, and rail against other "woke" things. Their video titles are often hyperbolic and there is little substance within the actual video; just regurgitating from low-tier "articles" they find on the web. Standard click-bait fare.

Anyway, they've been blasting the hell out of this movie, I guess to get viewership down to prove that Disney sucks. But then in some of the comments people are like "this movie isn't that bad." etc.

So weird.
