QOTD – June 11th, 2013

Greetings, goodfellas.

First off, some good discussion yesterday. That being said, I’m shocked that there can be a person out there who didn’t enjoy Goodfellas. I literally watch it every time it’s on TV. No matter where it’s at, I watch it. Commercials & censorship be damned. And I own it.

So, let’s turn it around. What’s a film that the majority hated, yet you were looking at them like “You’re nuts! BRAVISIMO!”

I have a few films like that, but the one I always get in fights over is Indy 4. People are just nit-picky whiners. The things they complain about are no less prevalent in the first 3. Nuking the fridge was brilliant, and completely classic Indy. It was less outlandish than the rubber raft escape from Temple. People forget that the Indy films are throwbacks to the Saturday serials from the 40’s. It’s suppose to be outlandish, escapist fun. But all these nerds want is Christopher Nolan crap. Indy 4 had a fantastic opening, great action scenes, fantastic scenery, and all the great stuff that made up the other Indy films. Sure, the triple agent thing was dumb, and the aliens thing was bleh, but the rest was game on.

How say you?
