Temple of Doom is an intense yet moving film which illustrates the complex relationships between gender, race, and ritual human sacrifice. Kate Capshaw is captivating as the incorrigible Willie Scott. So captivating, in fact, that ErinInAction and I played a game during the film called "Wait and see if KC says something that's not stupid". We scored 2 points, I believe. I believe most of the attendees of last night's viewing will agree that a "Kate Capshapocalypse" Is much more frightening than a Zombie Apocalypse, possibly even a Bird Apocalypse to EIA.
Of course Harrison Ford manages to redeem the shortfalls of his leading lady with his charisma. The best part about IA and TOD (That is not present in the other 2 movies) is Short Round. He is the most adorable little sidekick and manages to still be charming in spite of some of the contrived lines he's given. He also has some golden lines, such as "You call him Dr. Jones, Doll!" We'll never truly know why Short Round wasn't asked to come back in The Last Crusade. I'd really like to see a Vh1 "Where are they now" special on him though.

Just to clarify, it's a 'birdocoplypse'.
...or, perhaps a 'birdocalypse,' if I could spell.
