enough with the mothereffing batty boy, this is the MIGHTY INDIANA we're talking about, and no matter what I'll go see this one... fuck, I didn't know they had it done already!
I'll be totally honest - I usually don't give a shit about mainstream, it's just a matter of what it's all about: a good movie can be independently released or not, still if it's good it gets me going, and that should be just the way to go.
I ADORE David Lynch, I ADORE David Cronenberg, I ADORE John Carpenter and George A. Romero, but sometimes a mainstream flick gets me going.
THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES comes to mind (with a killer soundtrack to it).
JACOB'S LADDER also.
ANGEL HEART, too.
Then there are a few flicks, like GHOSTBUSTERS, or THE GOONIES, which are undoubtly mainstream and a franchise, but went on to be a part of who I am, along with INDIANA JONES. I was an effin' 5 y.o. kid when I got into that stuff, and it's pure eighties.
I recently re-watched THE LAST CRUSADE and I was kind of... "well, sure... that ain't the greatest thing now". But I was thrilled nonetheless - that was very entertaining.
So, hell yeah, once in a while, let's get groovy with some big thing like that.
PS: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD was a good one and I honestly enjoyed that also - partly probably becuz it was the first movie I saw in an american theater. Very cool.
PPS: the uncool factor was the multi-plex huge bulding that hosts a bunch of theaters in just one place. You know what I am talking about. These things came out pretty recently in Sardinia (ITALY) which is my small island and they destroyed the traditional cinema.
I really hate this side of the cinema nowadays.
I don't want big seats, a digital projector, a fucking air conditioning system, and I don't wanna have to order for my seats via fucking EMAIL.
It was just perfect when it was the old way - get early or get busted, sit in the place, one ticket gets you through the whole fucking evening...
those were the times.
