further proof that women are irrational

not really
I just don't really happen to enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark.

To modify my original statement. Chariots of Fire deserved the Oscar more than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Doesn't mean Raiders wasn't a good film.

that doesn't mean that Chariots of Fire is better
it just means you have defective taste in film

I have excellent taste in film

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 15:32, Reply)

the evidence suggests otherwise

I'm with Vippers on this one

nonsense
I have amazing taste. I just don't value flashiness over story*

*with the obvious and laudable exception of Fast and Furious.

now that's just crazy talk
are you seriously suggesting that Raiders of the Lost Ark doesn't have a good story?

I think the winding up element
might be being missed here ;)

But as it happens I haven't seen Raiders of the Lost Ark since I was a child.

you should watch it
I might raise Darth's ire here, as I'm going to say it's not as good as Last Crusade, but it's still great
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 15:38, Reply)

I saw the Last Crusade
and that was good. And whatever the other one's title was. I didn't bother with the Crystal Skull one though
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 15:39, Reply)

Crystal Skull should be stricken from the record
Raiders is better than Temple of Doom, definitely.

I personally prefer Raiders, despite lack of Connery
However, both films are so staggeringly good as to make quibbling over which is better moot

M'lud can I submit
the following evidence for male irrationality as opposed to female? The giant overwhelming mancrush the entirety of the masculine part of race has on Sean Connery.

Easily explained
He was irrefutably cool as Bond, he has a sexy voice, he never seems remotely flustered by anything and hasn't let a complete inability to sound anything other than Scottish stop him becoming a huge Hollywood star
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 15:51, Reply)

That's not an explanation
I think my point stands. He's a shit actor*, he's not the best Bond, he's massively boring, a bit of a wife-beater and his politics are shit and hypocritical.

*With the obvious exception of Highlander


Edit: Shit I'm turning into Monty aren't I? :(

Agree with all of that ^^^

Fine...
He's very good-looking. I think this helps.

Bring it on...

He really really isn't
especially now, but not even in his prime
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 16:09, Reply)

That is quite possibly the most ludicrous statement in the history of the universe
No it patently isn't
