SAW IT AND LOVED IT.

(of course)

Seriously though, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I just saw Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big(est) screen. My third favorite picture of all time. My favorite filmmaker's best film.

For the last seventeen years I have been blessed with youth. Unfortunately, this also means that I have never been able to seen my favorite movies properly. I was five or six when I first saw ROTLA. And I loved it (of course). Indiana Jones immediately became my number one hero, and he has been ever since. In 2008 I saw him on the big screen, but it wasn't the same.

But this was different. This was Raiders of the Lost Ark! I could construct this film from memory, yet watching it again today it was like watching it for the first time all over agin. But bigger this time!

What a great film too. There's just so much here - a ridiculous amount of exceptional action, set pieces, and everything! This film really is that good!

I am so glad I was able to see this (on a real IMAX screen and for only $11.50), and will (probably) remember this experience forever. I also managed to snag one of those posters, and will be framing it and placing it in my room shortly.

If you haven't gone yet, it's playing through Thursday, so go see it!
