Indy Spirit
Raiders of the Lost Ark made me fall in love with movies. Thanks for
rekindling that spark!

I had a moment of nostalgia as soon as I saw your Indiana Jones cover
(''National Treasure''). Instantly, I was 10 again and staring at the same
poster that hung in my childhood bedroom. Now, a few decades later, I
can't wait for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Like you, I believe Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is
misunderstood. But it's not the dark tone that makes it a lesser entry
in the Indy catalog it's the lack of action.

Temple of Doom is wholly underrated. I thought I'd entered the wrong
theater when I saw the lavish Cole Porter number, but this was Steven
Spielberg's clever way of preparing the audience for what was to come. Anything Goes? Indeed.

Paving the Way
Bless you for featuring Stephen Malkmus, one of the most talented
musicians out there (''Slanted and Enchanted''). America, go buy the first
three Pavement records: You'll thank me later.

A Role to Sink Your Teeth Into
I laughed when I read Kate Beckinsale's Spotlight quote ''There's nothing
more ludicrous than me being in an action movie.'' I can't think of
another actress who could have pulled off her Underworld role, Selene
the vampire, more perfectly. And her leather getup certainly didn't hurt
either.

Must-Flee TV
I agree with everything Mark Harris said about essential-viewing Eye TV
and background-noise Ear TV (The Final Cut). But I'd rather have a
multitude of Ear TV shows than the alternative: WTF! TV, a.k.a. reality
shows.
