Indy Marathon - Sunday 5/18

[innerSpaceman]

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).
