Which is the best Indy film? - Gilraen - 3rd May 2008
Given the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is about to come out in cinemas, which do you consider to be the best Indy film?

I wonder how many folks will change their vote once they have seen the new film?[?]

Lets hope that in the new film we see Indy setting a good example in this one - hardhat, viz vest and steel capped boots. He should also read the job spec before going onto site. This might put him in a better position when faced with giant boulders and disreputable subcontractors who instead of talking through their grumbles, just try and rip ones heart out. One would have thought that after being on the circuit for so long he would have realised by now that a WHS trowel should be his tool of choice - a bullwhip might be fine and dandy in a fetish club - but it's archaeological application is really quite limited. Machine gunning and/or threatening with RPG's other archaeological units is also just not on, whatever their politics or site ethics.
The "Cystal Skull" I fear will be just chucked into a bag without any sort of recording taking place. I appreciate the fact that the film is set against the backdrop of a motorway expansion scheme and that Indy is seen to be getting loads of stick from the client (In a sneak preview I have seen the 360 drivers plotting to trash the site when Indy has gone to the Portaloo) but really - there is no excuse for sloppy recording.
Right, off to the Biergarten for brekkie
Just give me a cold Becks

Having recently worked on a pipeline scheme where non disturbance of a Great Crested Newt breeding habitat was placed high on the list of site objectives, I wonder how Mr Jones gets away with his frequent burning of snakes and snake habitats.
Go on Spielberg, answer that one eh!!

Anyone else notice the size of the museum store,when he archived the lost Ark? wonder how much they charge per box!

Shooting bad guys must waste precious ammunition that he could otherwise use for shooting holes in his context sheets so that they fit in the ring binder (I've never seen him pack a hole punch).

Reading languages the right way round would be an advance, as well.
In the first film he reads the hieroglyphic script in the map room from right-to-left, when it's written left-to-right. Have a hunch he does a similar thing in the second film but couldn't spot it in the third.
Props to Stargate (the film) on the language front. The natives were actually speaking a recognisable form of Ancient Egyptian.
