: Yes, perhaps this movie does deserve more of a defense than was given. At the same time it is understandable why many of our younger Indy fans really like this one. They can readily identify with Short Round. I think the response you mention is no more than youthful exubrience(sp?)
I don't know what that is. I never had it.
I didn't get along well with other kids because they were too loud and annoying for me. I never understood why they couldn't stop shouting about everything.
Any tendency toward excitability I've had has been since getting out of high-school... and it's almost all stress-related.
Anyway, in 1984, when Temple of Doom came out, I was 16. I liked it more then than I do now, but I was still disappointed by it.
I do like it, but there are points that just make me shake my head and wonder what they were thinking.
It's a few steps up from Goonies, for sure!
