Doesn't Spielburg get some say in Raiders too?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. He'll probably change Indy's gun to a walkie-talkie.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So they're going to CG in a laser firing from the guy's sword, and then Indy disables him with feedback from the walkie-talkie?

Now tagless for your comfort.
That was a classic. I love that Ford's annoyance was genuine because he was fighting the flu or something like that.
dysentery. *shudder*

Please don't give them ideas.

For me, I think I laughed hardest at the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Indy shoots the swordsman.
For me, it's Steven Seagal's character being blown out of a disintegrating airlock contraption and bouncing off the fuselage of a plane in Executive Decision. That death scene was so satisfying I needed a cigarette afterwards.

But that was entirely for the meta of it, right? If it had been another actor, it wouldn't have been so satisfying.
Sort of like watching Alannis make Ben Affleck's head explode in DOGMA.

Yes, but why quibble? I wasn't picky.

The fact that this happened about 20 minutes into the film made it even better. I laughed so hard I had to pause the movie for five minutes.

Up with the sun
Lloyd Dobler is the perfect version of the regular guy. Jake Ryan is the perfect version of the perfect guy.
Perzactly. Jake is a tabula rasa; I could never crush on him because he didn't seem real. Lloyd, OTOH, is real and goofy and the perfect boyfriend.
I think I saw Say Anything in college sometime, though, so I didn't really grow up with it hanging over my head.
