A second look at Indy 4

June 9, 2008

I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night.

I had already seen the film thanks to a “screener” I had been provided. Many Bothans died for that screener . . .

The movie really plays much better in a Digital theatre with a crowd. What can I tell you, some flicks just are meant to be seen this way.

The fridge is still stupid, but bigger and the monkey scene . . . well the monkeys actually suck MORE on a bigger screen.

ONE more thing about the movie – I don’t know how I missed it before but in the end, when all hell is breaking loose – Indy says , ” i have a bad feeling about this . . .” Classic right? NO! Indy never says this! Han Solo says this!

It’s as if Spielberg and Lucas read my work . . .

Oh well -

I came across footage shot for the original Raiders that was replaced. I had always heard that the Cairo Swordsman scene ends the way it does because Harrison Ford was sick that day.

Apparently that may not be the case.
