"...wonder if I had suddenly awakened in the l930's"
"It is tough going to the movies these days,...that junk." --

I must admit that I enjoyed "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"
primarily because it was a good view upon the stereotypes of the past.
I have had a few discussion {loud} with people trying to convince me
that (1) these views are chauvanistic,...ugly,etc and (2) that we
(americans?) still abide by them.  I would like to say that I liked
having the opportunity to compare my values with those {idealized} of
the past and that I am glad that I still possess some of these qualities
and that I don't possess others.  How are we to improve ourselves if we
deplore some things so much that we refuse to listen to *things* that
contain such.  {I hate moral majority too...}

In summary,  I hold "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" as an example
of a good {avg} movie and reccomend it.  There are many wonderful things
to be seen in {underneath} it along with some not so wonderful...

ps.  This is not a social issues discussion despite my flames.  I will
defend my views personally, but don't feel that this is the place.  It
seems to be appropriate for pro/con movie statements...
