Watched Temple of Doom with the kids. My son loved it to death (6 yrs old), my daughters went Kate Capshaw through it. Had my youngest daughter (8 year old) hiding her face in my chest half the time. Good Times. :)
Awesome! Doom was always my favorite and the one I have yet to show to my kids. I guess they're probably ready.
I had kind of forgotten how intense Temple of Doom was. All of them are on Amazon Prime right now.

Doom was my least favorite. It just feels so different from the others.

I know what you mean, I think raiders is technically the best, but I always came back to doom, thus my favorite!

According to what I read on Wikipedia Spielberg hates Temple of Doom.

I just had the movie Split, which i really wanted to see, spoiled. I now simultaneously wish i would have immediately seen it when it came out and have it completely ruined so i wont see it anytime soon. Very exciting stuff though.
By spoiled, do you mean the twist at the very end? I wouldn't say that ruins the end. I actually thought it should have been an after the credits surprise/easter egg. It felt very misplaced as is. Most of the audience was thoroughly confused.

Yup. Agree with others, totally different tone. Also, the Nazis were such great villains in the other two movies. You didn't get that sense of gravitas in Doom. I mean, saving some small village in middle of nowhere Africa is great and all, but it's no stopping the Third Reich.

I haven't see Crystal Skull, but I didn't realize it was a 77% on RT. For some reason I thought it was a total critical flop, but apparently not.

My parents taped TOD for us when we were kids but cut out the heart scene. Jerks...

Little did they know I was much more traumatized by the bugs. I still can't watch that and feel ok about life.

Watched The Hit with John Hurt, Terrance stamp, and Tim Roth. It was a nice departure from your typical gangster flick. I enjoyed it.

Being spoiled actual makes me want to see the movie.
Been a long wait for the Unbreakable sequels I've always wanted.

The original Raiders is on my perfect movies list. But Last Crusade is an absolute hoot.

Son, I have to tell you something.

Not now, dad, I'm trying...

The floor's on fire. *woosh* And the chair.

Lucas was going through a divorce during the process of developing and making TOD. And just before they started filming, Spielberg had broken up with his on-off girlfriend who he got back with a year later and married. So the two principal creatives were in super bummer moods on that shoot.
