You broke your Ramadar!

...watching some of the "making of" stuff last night - it became clear why ToD seems a little off kilter. Apparently, Lucas, who was going through his divorce, wanted to make a horror movie. Spielberg couldn't get his head around the horror concept, so he injected "funny" into it. Not a good way to start...

Anyone notice the bouncing rock in Raiders? When Marion and Indy escape the Well of Souls, they push a large rock to get out and when it falls, the shadow shows the large rock bouncing away.

I do hope Crystal Skull keeps to the same practice of actually doing stunts like dragging Indy under the truck rather than using CGI.

This was probably the 2nd time I'd seen Temple all the way through. It really is not a good movie. As we said many times last night, Short Round saves it. To me, the difference is easily seen in a comparison between the bar scene in Raiders and the cabaret scene in Temple. That cabaret scene is so bloody cartoonish, with the "oh, I almost have the thing I need...damnit, someone kicked it!" gag over and over and over. Bleh. I still had the same reaction to the 3rd one I've always had. Don't like the bookends but otherwise enjoy the movie. The suckage at the end has been discussed, but I may be the only one who despises the River Phoenix flashback. I hate those kinds of hokey origin scenes where everything is explained by a single event (whip, scar, snakes, hat, lame). You start to expect young Indy to fall into an icy cold river and be forced to skin a cow, tan its hide, and make a jacket to survive.

I think ToD is awful, too. But I do love the editing of the spike room scene. It creates so much tension it's great. But other than that, it blows.
I consider Raiders to be Spielberg's best film. ![]() |

It was hot at the farmer's market.
