Wilhelm said:So then the Crystal Skull chamber is a better ending from the point of view of a film designer. At least that makes KOTCS better than LC!
I do believe the Design of KOTCS was vastly superior to LC, but, even as a Designer, I have to say that Design alone does not a film make. The ending of KOTCS was too rushed. Didn't take enough time inside Akator and Indy didn't really have much to do.
Now, if you could take the drama of LC's ending with the Design of KOTCS' ending, then, wow! THAT is what Lucas and co. should be aiming for with Indy V!
Attila the Professor said:Is that so wrong, though? I feel we have reason to believe Indy never spent all that much time in his home back in '36. He's not a guy who knows how to settle down.
Gotta agree. Indy spends enough (screen) time as it is at school. I hate it that we see Indy's house at all. Plus, wouldn't the Reds know to find him there? I think it would have been much cooler if Indy and Mutt went to some dusty, deserted corner of the campus to study Oxley's letter. Maybe have artifacts-not-on-display there, like sarcophagi standing over them, watching them, or strange, out-of-place relics that would hint at the alien temple to come.
