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. Lorraine
