Canada is civilized, isn't it!  You know the old saying, "30-below keeps
out the riff-raff."

My husband and I are the only two people we know who walked out on
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".  We were so disgusted after
twenty minutes that we didn't even pause long enough to ask for our
money back.  The reason for our disgust (twenty minutes  doesn't even
get you to the violence) was the out and out chauvinism and gringoism.
The idea of a 12-year old boy and the "great white hunter" saving the
poor, ignorant, superstitious brown people and the ridiculous, helpless
female was not only embarrassing, but made me wonder if I had suddenly
awakened in the l930's. 

It is tough going to the movies these days, but I guess it's good
practice for understanding the society which produces that junk.
