Kinda resent the notion that remembering when music came out makes one a nitpicking nerd.
You honestly have no time-specific associations with music you've heard over the decades?
"Hey Jude" coulda been 1962 or 1965 or 1968?
Also, it's sloppy when a movie uses a song that didn't exist in the...
Undoubtedly the filmmakers wanted "MMT" for the reasons you mention.
Even if they didn't, it still befuddles me that its use would be called "historically inaccurate".
Again, there's nothing "historically inaccurate" involved. If they played "Abbey Road", that's historically inaccurate.
But you're referring to a situation you deem "unlikely" to be "inaccurate". Not even vaguely the same thing.
"DoD" isn't a documentary. These aren't real people whose...
Yes, you are! ;)
I get irritated by anachronisms. If the movie used Lennon's "Power to the People" or "Cold Turkey" to blast Indy awake, that'd be bad since the songs didn't exist in August 1969.
But "MMT" did, so it's not historically inaccurate. Same for "SO": it'd been out for a month, so...
Well, I was 2 in summer 1969 so no idea what the status of radio was - and I didn't live in NYC anyway.
I don't think "Oddity" would've been a weird choice for an NYC station, though. It did get extra play due to the "tie-in" to the moon landing, so it makes sense it'd have been on the...
There was nothing INaccurate historically about the use of either song.
"MMT" had been out since late 1967.
"Oddity" was released 7/11/69 and the parade we see was August 13.
It does feel odd to see Indy in adventures outside of the 1930s settings of the 1st 3.
"Skull" expanded into the 50s, of course... and that was kinda jarring.
Had to be done unless they wanted to de-age Ford for entire movies, though!
Ford looks pretty effin' great for 80s!
I didn't remember PWB from any prior efforts, but it turns out I've seen her in a few:
-Albert Nobbs
-Iron Lady
-Goodbye Christopher Robin
-Man Up
She also did voice performances in "Solo" and "His Dark Materials".
So I've experienced her work more...
Saw it last week. Thought it was surprisingly dull. Not a terrible movie but oddly uninvolving - easily the least entertaining of the 5.
Also thought I'd already said so in this thread - guess not! :)
