Go dark, early and often is a joke too. The writer seems to forget that Temple of Doom, while certainly a hit, was the most maligned of the Indy films and arguably the weakest of the original trilogy.
I certainly don't agree that TEMPLE OF DOOM is the weakest of the original three Indy films. Frankly, I consider it slightly better written than LAST CRUSADE and just as good as RAIDERS.
There is nothing wrong with summer films having a dark tone. If there were, what is the point of enjoying STAR WARS films like EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, ATTACK OF THE CLONES or REVENGE OF THE SITH?
I just don't believe that all films have to be one way or the other. I see room for films with both a dark tone and those with a more engaging tone.

By the way, what is "anti-anti-Communisism"?
