That's what I argued in a piece I wrote last year: lyonsnyc.medium.com/indiana-jone...

Indiana Jones and His Five Adventures

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is surprisingly good; the problem with CGI; and the real Indiana Jones trilogy

People are confusing their own tedious self-importance with effectiveness.

The animal costumes are a genius move. It should be adopted by every protest.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

And why is "Charlotte's Web" banned? It's because E.B. White's book depicts talking animals, something that religious folk find "blasphemous" and therefore disrespectful to God. Wow, I had no idea that God was so thin-skinned!
