Movie Favorite

"One of my favorites. It’s my two-year-old daughter’s favorite movie. She’s the green gargantua and my other son is the brown one, and she loves being the bad green gargantua. She’s obsessed with it, as I was. I grew up watching Japanese science fiction movies and I particularly, unlike most hard core film people, like dubbed movies — there’s something about that language and the translation that somehow fits into the movie; it’s like a weird poetry. There’s a beauty to these films, the Japanese character designs — there’s a human kind of quality to these things, which I love. Monsters were always the most soulful characters. I don’t know if it’s because the actors were so bad, but the monsters were always the emotional focal point"

Just about everybody's pick for their least-favourite Indiana Jones film, I personally feel the main problem with this was the move away from the religion-based relics of the previous films (The Ark of the Covenant? The Sankara Stones? The Holy Grail) towards science-fiction, with the main driver of the plot being remains recovered from Area 51.

Set in the 1950s, this no longer features Nazis as the main villains, instead moving on to the fear of the Russians ("Better Red than Dead!" as one banner says) that permeated American culture at that time, with an old flame of Indy's making a re-appearance and with Shia LaBeuof's character of Mutt all but set up to take on the role in future.
