If you don’t know, you don’t know.
RIP Handjob from Full Metal Jacket.
I think it’s a bit of a stretch, not unforeseeable just lacking in how the story presents it as a possibility. More than anything I think the Mother being raped, and knowing full well her son is a rapist and possibly murderer but being 100% okay with it and vice versa, Louis knowing his Mother was raped and being a rapist himself, I think it goes to show the depths of sociopathy that both characters both nurture and share between their familial bond.
Why on Earth would anyone want a Viking movie without visions, dreams, magic, prophecies, seers, witches, gods interacting with characters and loooooads of violence and nudity (just not at the same time of course).
Sick burn!
That bit you included at the end has has me laughing tears!
Good call, and something else worth noting, witch craft is also mentioned in the Old Testament, and its role within the supernatural realms.

Yay, if not only for River.
Cool beans, I thought so too. Just a minor detail I picked up on, on my hundredth viewing, lol.
My favorite childhood film as well!
There were four possible outcomes.
Give up the passcode and be killed relatively painlessly.
Give up the passcode and still be killed but in some agonizing way.
Hold out, and have his genitalia fed to him before being killed, but maintain his dignity, all while giving Le Chiffre the finger.
Hold out and possibly be presented with an out in which he survives.
Holding out was not only the most logical course of action, it was one that satisfied Bond’s ego as well.
6/10
I see your point but that’s sort of what makes Temple of Doom special, in its own way, it’s a film that’s driven by feeling and atmosphere, I believe Lucas was going through a divorce in the midst of writing TOD…
I’m not saying one way or another but I think the title aptly supports the story as well as the way the story is told. I feel as though a title that played to a specific archeological find, such as Indiana Jones and the Lost Sankara Stones… or something, just wouldn’t work as well given the arching theme of the film as a whole.
Just my two cents.
Agreed, a perfectly made/cast trilogy.
I also think the villain death scenes in each film were superbly done, and in a league of their own, from the face melting/head exploding, air plane propeller dicing, flaming shish kebab spearing, slow-rolling rock crushing flattening, crocodile feasting, tank plummeting and aging to death instantaneously…, I mean deaths that really twist the blade and make you all warm and fuzzy about their demise.
Not to mention the intensely graphic nature of many of them, some of which I’m surprised made it through without a R rating.
Hard to say given most of us have a sentimental/nostalgic attachment between the film and its title.
Personally I think it fits quite well given the despairing nature of the film.
Marty’s family and marriage sequences were a critical component to the plot dynamics. Our detectives were battling demons on both sides of the law, and I thought the inclusion of Marty’s personal struggles brought a great deal of depth to his character arc as well as competently illustrating how the toll of being human plays out in our professional and private lives.
Love me some Beach House, as to your question, hard to say, I think there are a few bands who would give them a run for a more than memorable live performance, Puscifer, Arctic Monkeys, M83, Nine Inch Nails…
As to the greatest currently performing music act, I think that’s a bit too constrictive a classification in regards to the subjective nature of music.
