Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 And we're in Cairo, described optimistically as "a paradise on Earth". How are the Germans operating with impunity in a British "protectorate"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black hats are traditionally a Western trope. The good cowboys wore the white hat... the bad cowboys wore the black hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man With No Name trilogy? Get him into the Spaghetti Western proper? Go more traditional with the even older movies? Maybe skip straight to the modern classic like Unforgiven?

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just now, Macklunkey said: Thoughts on Indy actually not being needed in this film? In fact it would have saved some lives and a monkey if he'd stayed home as the Ark ghosts would've melted the Nazis regardless. Dude, spoiler tags please! Now I'm going to be dreading trauma to the monkey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 If I was God-King of the Universe and could bring back only one fashion trend for men, I would bring back hats. Even villains look more distinguished with hats covering their bald pates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 The ark is a radio to speaking to God. Belloq turns out to be surprisingly religious. Although not religious enough to believe in divine omniscience. Maybe the line would work better if the ark was a megaphone to speak in God's voice? Because really that's what everyone is after. Power with a capital P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 It's nice how the snakes have been breeding for thousands of years waiting for this very day.

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 The word "civilized" does not mean what Belloq seems to think it means. And one would expect an archaeologist, of all people, to know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
