They have these $5 flashback Thursdays downtown and boy it's fun to see a famous movie with an audience who doesn't clap at the director's name but claps when the leads first kiss. The movie's not as awesome as the OG Pirates of the Caribbean ride or Pac-Man World 2 or Lang or Sternberg's best work, but it has an otherworldly artifice in common with those that's right up my alley. The first part is great, then it gets a bit dour and unsatisfying when they get to the eponymous temple, then it picks up some steam again at the end. It definitely makes me want to revisit its bookends, especially Raiders.
