I have been avoiding them for this very reason. And I didn't so much
watch Temple of Doom as have it on in the background.
I spent the entire week constructing a FrankenBox to ship my
Giant Raiders of the Lost Ark 3-D Promotional Display in. The lucky ebay winner bid $25 over my asking price of $1,500. I'm giving the Good-Reputation Seller a cut, ebay takes a cut, shipping and insurance will be more than I asked the buyer for, and I'm going to tip the participants of the photo shoot. I'll net maybe $1,200.
Sigh. The day the sale went thru, I get a notice from the IRS saying they changed my income tax return, and I now owe them $1,200. I hate the way the universe works, but am amazed nonetheless.
Anyway, it took the wind of my FrankenBox construction sails. To keep me in the mood, I had the John Williams Raiders soundtrack playing in the background while I built it .... for 3 nights. For the final session, I couldn't stand that anymore ... and put the DVD of Temple of Doom on in the background.
But I swear I barely watched it. And that's good news for Tom and Heidi's upcoming marathon. The
bad news is, I can barely bear to watch it. I hate that movie with such a passion, but if I'm allowed to laugh at it, I won't go out to the lobby for 20 cigarettes while it's playing.
What time does the marathon start? Are you going to have mousepod-style intermissions lasting hours? If so, how many days are you alloting for the Indiana Jones trilogy??
oh, maybe this entire line of tangent should be moved over to the Indy thread.
