I just came across your site and it’s hilarious! Love it!
I agree almost wholeheartedly with your Indy movie interpretation. Lucas should never be allowed to write. Anything. The reason why Star Wars (4,5,and6) was so funny and successful was solely due to cast performances (harrison add-libbing “I know” was brilliant) and the novelty of the sci-fi story.
While I’m a die-hard Indy fan, also with zero expectations for the 4th one, I don’t think I was quite as displeased as you. Horrible script, absolutely. But the fridge scene I could have suspended my disbelief for as a slightly humorous bit. Isn’t it Indy’s charming ability to escape those impossible scenarious that we love about him? It was the horror-of-an-ending that sealed the deal for me. I’m guessing Spielberg is at a point in his career where he can comfortably say “screw it” to Lucas why the hell not?”and gave in.
Have you seen the video of these kids who made a reproduction of Raiders scene for scene when it was released? Impressive. I’ll have to find it on youtube.

I couldn’t stop laughing throughout this post and that first script. I haven’t even seen the movie, I don’t like George Lucas movies, but now I want to watch it to see how badly it sucks.

Now, I remember why I forgot all about that movie about 3.2 seconds after I wasted my hard-earned money on going to see it … because it sucked BALLZ!
