Revelation #1: What A Surprise; South Park Hated Indiana Jones

You had to see this coming, right? Well, maybe not all that man-rape, but definitely the hatred of Indy IV. South Park took some pretty heavy shots at Lucas and Spielberg in last week’s episode of South Park, having Lucas and Spielberg literally raping Indiana Jones (and a stormtrooper for good measure). Unfortunately, they didn’t give much in the way of specifics as to why they felt that way. There was a brief mention that Indy should not be chasing aliens and the fridge-nuking, but I was hoping for something we haven’t heard before. By the way, Indy comes out tomorrow on DVD, and I stand by my enjoyment of the movie. It’s no Raiders, but it’s also certainly not the abomination South Park made it out to be.

Revelation #2: Stop Playing Horror Movies, TNT!

Look, I appreciate that TNT is getting into the October Horror swing of things by showing Final Destination 1, 2, 3, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and so forth, but you realize it’s like eating soy jerky. It looks similar to your favorite snack, but it’s missing all the delicious parts. All this is doing is making me fill up my Netflix queue with the R-rated versions of the movies, except for I Know What You Did, the first of many Scream knock-offs that flooded and watered down the genre to the point of drowning.

Revelation #3: Caddyshack is the perfect Saturday afternoon movie.

With Tiger Woods nowhere in sight on the golf tour, the only way to enjoy the world’s most boring sport is with a dash of Dangerfield. Caddyshack is a movie MADE for Saturday afternoons, just like National Lampoon’s Vacation.
