I'm sort of afraid if it too, though. I hope it ends well for Jamal, is what I'm saying.Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642443487136176511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-83743173264546220032008-12-12T15:28:00.000-08:002008-12-12T15:28:00.000-08:00South Park had the latest movie as a rape scene, i...South Park had the latest movie as a rape scene, i.e., that Indy had been raped. They re-enacted many famous rape scenes with Spielberg & Lucas raping Indy.<BR/><BR/>Funny.<BR/><BR/>I reviewed <A HREF="http://bitmaelstrom.blogspot.com/search?q=Indiana" REL="nofollow">the latest one</A> here. My feeling has been that Lucas is a truly great producer but needs to be kept far away from actors and scripts. Spielberg is really a fine director, but he sort of seems sort of unfocused since he got serious.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-81455440190309869762008-12-12T14:44:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:44:00.000-08:00I saw the new Indiana Jones last night on pay per ...I saw the new Indiana Jones last night on pay per view and man it was horrible. What a waste of $4.<BR/><BR/>Most movie directors have at best two good movies in them.

I didn't feel like the story was moving forward. The writing can be quite bad, I think, as long as the story keeps moving.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-12711609254779617432008-12-11T16:05:00.000-08:002008-12-11T16:05:00.000-08:00Ah, a movie with a plot!I have the same problem wi...Ah, a movie with a plot!<BR/><BR/>I have the same problem with books and movies. I want a plot that is relentlessly <I>moving forward.</I> I don't care if it's Pride and Prejudice or Dawn of the Dead, I want something to be happening.<BR/><BR/>We watched Apocalypto the other night--have I already brought this up?--and I was so pleased that there was a distinct plot that was surging ahead at all times. I'm not saying it was a masterpiece, but I want more movies like that.<BR/><BR/>I realize I'm doing a horrible job of articulating what it is I mean. It's the reason the first Matrix was great and the next two were horrid. (Well I didn't even bother to see the third one.)knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231876226573540476noreply@blogger.com
