Then you need to get a MUCH bigger TV!

Totally awesome video from Skipper Brodie (clockworkmonkey at MP).

It's Indy related.

Sure - send one over!!

If Harrison Ford didn't get dysentery, the scene where Indy shoots the guy with the scimitar would have been VERY different.

Then bless that dysentery - it would have been a much less amusing scene (and thusly subpar.)

I remember seeing that scene in the theatre and remembering how huge of a laugh it got. I mean, it went on and on. Awesome.
:)

Yes, I pointed out to the folks at the Indy Marathon how long that laugh went on during the opening night show at Grauman's Chinese Theater. It was the biggest, longest laugh I've ever heard at the movies, and finally died down to where you could hear the film again at the Indy close-up just before it's revealed he's looking at a marketplace Sea of Baskets. (Whereupon the audience began to laugh anew).

I've had several people tell me they were fond of Temple of Doom because it's the one they first saw in theaters, bigscreen, 70mm projection.

And I thank the Gods and the Hebrew God that I was of an age to see Raiders of the Lost Ark that way (and of a mind to drop some acid on the way into the Chinese Theater). ;)

I liked Temple of Doom (and still do) because I'm fond of skulls (and occasionally ripping the hearts out of screaming peasants).

The screaming/moaning mummies were weird too in the Well of Souls... Never understood that...

I heard (I don't know if it's an urban legend) when the snake falls around Marion's neck in the pit, that it was actually Spielberg dropping the snake from a catwalk on her. Her look to "Indy" was a genuine look of annoyance directed at Spielberg. Apparently, he got a good scream out of her, too.

Ok, so maybe I have no taste in movies, or maybe it's because I saw ToD as a kid and it scared the crap out of me, or maybe it's because I saw Last Crusade before Raiders...but Last Crusade is by far my favorite.
