Lobotomized Movie Recommendation of the Week!!!!!!!!!!!!
All right, apparently you all want safe choices. So how about I just do uber-mainstream Hollywood films? Alright, here we go…
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Here’s the plot outline:
The year is 1936. Archeology professor Indiana Jones narrowly escapes death in a South American temple with a gold idol - by poison dart, fall, and finally a giant boulder that chases him out the front. An old enemy, Rene Belloq, steals the idol and then orders Hovito indians after Indy. Indy, however, escapes back to the USA, where Army Intelligence officers are waiting for him at his university. They tell him about a flurry of Nazi archaeological activity near Cairo, which Indy determines to be the possible resting place of the Ark of the Covenant - the chest that carried the 10 Commandments. The Ark is believed to carry an incredibly powerful energy that must not fall into Nazi hands. Indiana is immediately sent overseas, stopping in Nepal to pick up an old girlfriend (his old professor's daughter) and then meeting up in Cairo with his friend Sallah. But danger lurks everywhere in the form of Nazi thugs, and poisonous snakes in the Ark's resting place. After Belloq, hired by the Nazis, makes off again with the Ark, Indy & Marion are determined to get it back, and they overpower the pilot of a German plane. But Indy finds himself confronted with a giant German thug, and after a frightening hand-to-hand fight Indy & Marion blow up the plane. Now the Nazis must drive the Ark to Cairo, but Indy regains control of the Ark after running the convoy off the road, one vehicle at a time. Once again the Nazis recapture the Ark...and Marion, heading for a Nazi-controlled island. There, Belloq will open the Ark...to demonstrate the horrific power it can unleash upon the world!
It’s a really good movie, and I’d recommend it to children and adults of all ages! Yipee!
Next, I’ll do a really interesting foreign film, you’ve probably never heard of. It’s called “The Lord of the Rings”. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss your money goodbye!

Jayne, here's the thing. We all love Raiders. It's probably on all of our Top-5 favorite movies, and if not, then in our Top-10.
First, you don't show up to the Lodge last night for the Gathering and go to the slasher flick, Wolfcreek. But then, you don't even give us a review of Wolfcreek and instead write something that we already knew about Raiders. I feel like putting you in a boat and rowing out in the middle of the lake right now...
This is like someone doing a review on Top Gun, Old School, Animal House, or Office Space.
No words are ever needed.
PS. Lodge Ass whippings will be given out if you ever use the word "Yipee" again.
I must speak up when the Lodge fails to realize the level of sarcasm here.
Jayne is doing a social commentary on the Lodge. Seems like we talk a good game about being out of the mainstream but seem like we only want to get reviews on movies in the stream, Jayne is going out on a limb bringing new movies out and I think he should be applauded for not holding back. He is saying hey, this is what I like you might not but give it a try.
THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!!!
So...you don't want a review of Top Gun or Animal House...well there goes my idea for the next post...
Back to the drawing board...
Jordan...I could see you with you glasses in your mouth while trying to explain you comment...hilarious!
I understood the sarcasm. And being one of the biggest cynics and sarcastic asses around, I value sarcasm.
But it just wasn't funny. Bottomline. If it's funny, hell, go for it. But it's a waste of time and space on the blog, I guess that's my point. I think Jayne has it in him, he just needs to bring it consistantly. If Wolfcreek was bad and you are ashamed to have paid money to see it, well, then admit it and write a review instead of giving us this crap and (as Goose said) using the word "Yipee".
How dare Train scold the lodge on behalf of Jayne. If Ladyboy cant defend his/her own post then so be it.
True Sarcasm should have dry wit and humor behind it. Jaynes was just lame. And he used the word Yipee. That just asks for a beating
I like the new pic of the Fat Guy waving a Texas flag....I had Flashbacks of a "Rounded" mexican waving a Newport flag at practice (Instead of coaching like he was supposed to)
I'm with 2.0's last comment...having been told on about 150-200 occassions that people don't understand if I'm serious or joking...dry wit is not lost on me...but, this is just horrible...and not horrible funny either...that would've been Temple of Doom...
Here's the Deal...I think the MCP is a little too close to his Epic Movie Critic Credentials..."he's holding on too tight...he's turned in his wings"...
I've gone out and seen Audition...didn't like it, but I saw, have Returner showing up for this weekend...I'm up for new experiences, I just want them to be good ones...and if the sauce is too strong...use more katchup...
That's why we need to fully indoctrinate the Jayne on the Lodge. I try to explain our sense of humor to him but it must be something experienced. I'm just playing the role or enforcer here. Stickin' up for my guy since I recruited him for this little stint.
In his defense He never wanted me to say anything so the guys does have thick skin. He just needed to know I have his back. Goose has done the same with LAZLO.
Yes, Jimmy thanks for the fat guy with the flag.. Nothing has looked so sweet... well maybe my 120$
s'all good baby...MCP has earned his stripes around here...he's a full-fledged member, card's in the mail...I like seeing the sponser step up though, good work Train...maybe you take him out to a matinee with the prize money
Actually I am ready to hang Lazlo out to dry. But thats what you do with family.
I'd say he's completely let you down...Fredo style....
