I would say Thot did a much better job and he had a fraction of screen time...but the few scenes he was in, he absolutely stole.

Of course it's my opinion. Don't be that guy.

Also, fwiw my opinion is w a lot more than yours.

Oh please, you handle that moniker well enough on your own.

Point in case.

THIS SENTENCE LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE.

Seriously, look up the words you use before you use them.

"mon·i·ker   /ˈmɒnɪkər/ Show Spelled[mon-i-ker] Show IPA
noun Slang .
a person's name, especially a nickname or alias."

"that guy"....a nickname or alias...you are that guy

Wow, do you always make things so difficult on your self?

I didn't use quotes or capitalize anything. Nobody could read what I wrote and say I was using a name or nickname. You just wanted to use a big fancy million-dollar word and you failed miserably. Hilariously, too.

That would be a great point if ToD didn't suck too;)

To be fair though, I saw ToD when it was released and have maybe seen it all the way through once more since. Maybe I'd look at it more favorably now but I dunno, suspension of disbelief can be a tricky balancing act and for me ToD and Crystal Skull didn't even come close to that happy medium.

Last Crusade had its problems in that area too but they weren't quite as distracting, there weren't as many of them and Sean Connery can make up for a lot of bad shit with one smirk.

Actually no I didn't. You're probably a little off center as your moniker implies. Such a glutton for punishment.

Well at least you learned something new today. Need an aspirin?

Not at all, you're the one acting askew...which is probably par for the course I'd imagine.

Yes, and for one big reason. ToD had the raft sequence, but that was the only sorta unbelievable thing in the film. KOTSC had no less than 3 or 4 huge unbelievable moments. You can suspend disbelief that someone can escape an impossible situation once.... but 3 or 4 times is over the line.

I know sorry, but Mr.Askew can't stand to be upstaged in any way. He's always right in his own mind.

Actually, I understood what he meant perfectly.

So you're honestly going to say the first 3 Indy movies have no more than one single plausibility-shattering moment?

If you actaully read the statement, you'd know he clarified with "sorta". As I suspected: comprehension not your strong suit.

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

Anyone remember those Tarzan, Frankenstein and Tonto sketches on SNL?

I'm sure you fail at many things, just a few have been on display over the last few posts. Again, "askew" great moniker! You did nail that one.

Honestly? Sure. There's a difference in shattering plausibility then going way over the top. Plausibility can be made credible. In fact, it's believable that you could use a raft to escape down a mountain... is it believable? No. Could it happen? Perhaps. Is it believable that you could survive a nuclear blast in a fridge? Nope. Or that a kid can magically swing through the vines like a monkey with no experience or training? See the difference? The raft is marginally realistic; the others are just silly.
