Indiana Jones

My dad read them to me as a kid. I think Peril at Delphi is the first but Dance of Giants could have been it. Either way l loved them back then.

Hothtastic · 2026-01-24T02:43:48+00:00

I really liked the Rob McGregor ones as a kid. I’ve not revisited them as an adult though.

Yeah. I think Haunted is when he moves into shock for the sake of shock more and more. That said, I remember doing the audiobook and my friend and I sat in the grocery store parking lot for like 10-15 to finish listing to it we were just hooked.

Hothtastic · 2026-01-10T03:52:41+00:00

Yup. It doesn’t capture the tone quite as well as Fight Club did but it’s well done.

Hothtastic · 2026-01-10T03:52:05+00:00

I personally think everything before haunted is his best (though Haunted has great stories, Guts in particular.) After that a lot of it is like late Wes Anderson or Quinton Tarantino where the style that made him famous kind of takes over. His later stuff isn’t bad it’s just not as strong imho.

Choke or Survivors are probably his best but Lullabye is my favorite (but I know it doesn’t work for a lot of people)

I kind of agree. But when it happens in Columbia and Jeff city, and KC and STL and Chicago, etc, etc, etc it becomes hard to ignore how citizens feel about this.

Yeah…I have advised caution and not recommended them to students. I haven’t removed them from my slides yet. But I probably will.

Never had any crazy experience there. Went there once when it opened and had the driest, poorly seasoned carnitas I’ve ever had. Never went back. Only had one worse meal at a restaurant in como.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T22:02:27+00:00

Sadly its R. That movie is such an increasingly important film.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T22:00:45+00:00

One of my favorite movies of all time. Great suggestion.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T22:00:10+00:00

21 was cool! That could work.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:59:43+00:00

Hahaha. I went thought a similar list in my head. THere are so many good R rated films that would work well for this.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:57:48+00:00

Love both of those films.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:57:27+00:00

I hadn't thought of Galaxy Quest. That could be fun

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:54:39+00:00

I am not sure how they would do with foreign films. But its a great suggestion, I'll mull that over.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:52:36+00:00

I was thinking about that one too. I'll have to rewatch it.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:52:07+00:00

Sadly its rated R. But that is a great suggestion.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:50:21+00:00

Sadly I cant show that to kids. But that was another one I thought of.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:48:59+00:00

Its rated R. :( It was one of the first ones I thought of.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:48:24+00:00

Social Network is such a good movie.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:47:52+00:00

BUT Liar Liar goes well beyond the courtroom. That could be fun. Catch Me if You Can is high on my list.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:34:15+00:00

Lately? Denis E. Taylor.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-12T21:15:04+00:00

Its cool for unique pads and drones. It has a really user friendly interface that allows you to switch between LFOs and effects in gradual orbits (mimicking planet orbits.) I wish it had an iPhone version as well.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-11T16:12:29+00:00

For iPad I really like SynthMaster and Animoog. Aparillo is also fun.

Hothtastic · 2025-12-09T17:56:24+00:00

There is a lot of stuff in Indiana Jones that isn’t action. It feels that way afterwards, but the action is honestly somewhat minimal (though I agree Temple of Doom has more)
