I spent today at the RetroDome's last paid public event, that being the "Quote-along" Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was all good fun, with plenty of people in costume (alas, I left my fedora in Fernley) including a simply adorable little boy in a full Indy kit.

For reasons having at their root a hot Sacramento Valley summer and the $1 movies being a place I could stay cool during the day, Raiders is the movie I've seen in a theater more than any other by a long shot. This afternoon, I finally got to do something I've always wanted to do: When, during the bazaar chase, the swordsman started brandishing his blade, I said, quite loudly, "Aw, just shoot the bastard!" which appeared to do down quite well as of course Indy did just that. It was all good fun, as was the large "boulder" (visible in the photo I posted) rolling down the center aisle in the early scenes, the Staff of Ra on stage (with Shannon Guggenheim letting Little Indy do the honors) at the correct point, a basket of dates being passed around ("Only one of them is poisoned!" quipped![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm pleased that the 49ers won the NFC championship and will be in the Super Bowl, but I'm much happier having spent the afternoon with friends at the RetroDome watching Raiders and being silly.
