First,

(1) Why did the truck explode after the driver was shot and it fell on it's side?

And,

(2) I haven't watched the film in decades. For the DVD, did they black out the windows after the driver's bloody hand fell to the side?
(Because even as a kid, I could see the stuntman furiously turning the wheel through the dark windshield to make it capsize - even though the driver was supposed to have been shot dead by Indy.)

Yes; it's taken me 30 years to ask this question. big grin Please help.

Sadako of Girth
It was loaded with Explosives and ammo.

Hmmmmmmmmm gonna have to rewatch to answer the second part accurately.

queeq
Wasn't he just avoiding the bullets?

Sadako of Girth
Yes. Or the driver was shot dead or something..

Queeqs most likely right.

queeq
I dunno. Raiders is perfect so don't criticise it. wink

Sadako of Girth

Now here's a thing to scare your socks off.

I am reading The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (great book BTW, it really shows the glory days when LUcas really knew what he was doing).

Now there's a scene that was cut from the opening of ESB which involved... errr.... well... the idea was that the probot lands on Hoth and when it comes out of its crater it shoots a..... a...... dare I say it???? ..... a snow chipmunk!!!!!

I guess Lucas saw a chance with the PT and TAOS to insert all the left over ideas from the OT days. There's so much stuff they came up with then, that was used in the PT... and now this damn groundhog/squirrel/chipmunk idea is also a left over... Why do you think they abandoned it then??? OMG...

Sadako of Girth
When the last of the non-yes men said "WTF George...Youre trying to go DARKER in this movie... not f***king cuddle FFS..." and slapped him.


Thats is a disturbing truth. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

queeq
It just shows how much terror we've been spared.

Kazenji
Wonder what left over idea's he has planned for Indy 5

and Sadako should be one of those 'Yes men' stick out tongue

Sadako of Girth
stick out tongue

Kazenji
Lucas: I'm thinking of putting some dancing monkey's and a dog that talks in indy 5, should be great

Sadako: no expression................oh no you won't!!

Sadako of Girth
laughing out loud Indeed...!!!

queeq
Lucas: "How about a singing parrot then and a talking cricket as Indy's new sidekick?"
Sadako: *gently lowers sledgehammer on Lucas' head* Actually, that doesn't sound like the best ide you've had so far.

Sadako of Girth

Sadako of Girth
Yeah I loled too at that one.. I could definitely see that working..

queeq
Absolutely.

Sadako of Girth
The real Abbott and Costello could have done it too.

queeq
The Metropolis version.

Sadako of Girth
Indeed!

queeq
Just watched that in the restored BD version... but I really missed Abbott and Costello. In what scene were they again?

Sadako of Girth
In the one with the cocaine and space-hookers.....

queeq
Ah, the good bits... Better rewatch that again... and again... and again.

Sadako of Girth
Absolutely... just to make sure.

queeq
I better watch it again... and again and again.

Sadako of Girth
Are you sure....? Better check with another viewing..

queeq
I will.... and again.

Sadako of Girth
Is it still there...?

Kazenji
Nope its gone invisible.

Sadako of Girth
I HATE it when soft porn becomes cloaked, like that.. sad

Kazenji
Blow your load and then you'll be able to see it.

queeq
OMG...

Kazenji
Well does'nt that sort of thing work on folks that are invisible, Get them covered in mud and 'BAM' you can see them or whatever liquid.

Sadako of Girth
This is true.

Theres no safe place for the invisible woman anyone.

queeq
Sounds kinky though.

Kazenji

Jessica is outnumbered though, and Johnny is her brother (Don't go there evil face ) We need Alicia Masters and Crystal to jump into things to even it out.

queeq
Not you.

Sadako of Girth
Thats right: I said Angelina.
And thats not my name.

queeq
Shirley you must be joking...

Sadako of Girth
Why would I joke? I seem to attract the insane... stick out tongue


(And don't call me shirley)

queeq
That you do.

Sadako of Girth
Indeed.

Quite literally insane.

Either that or I just make em that way in the end lol

I think the 1st theory is more likely though.

queeq
So I am insane?

Sadako of Girth
Yes...... stick out tongue
but thats irrelevent! smile

...nothing to do with my observed law of dynamics concerning ladyfolk.

queeq
You have dynamics concering ladyfolk?

Sadako of Girth
Yep. The dynamic of mostly attracting loons. yes

queeq
You lucky, lucky bastard.

Sadako of Girth

Sadako of Girth
Same as Saturday afternoon too.

Kazenji
Michael Bolton as Tony Montana.

Sadako of Girth
With Kenny G's sax as his 'leeedle friend'.

Kazenji
GI6CfKcMhjY

Sadako of Girth
WTF LOL

queeq
Hilarious... Did Bolton suddenly get cool?

Sadako of Girth
Like the surface of the sun.

queeq
laughing out loud

Sadako of Girth
He share the same anti-cool gene with Kenny G.

queeq
One gets it on the weekends, the other on weekdays?

Sadako of Girth
Presumably... yes

queeq
Sounds like a deal for these guys.

Sadako of Girth
Yeah and they excel in their lameness through it's usage.

queeq
At least they excel at something.

Sadako of Girth
...other than coma induction

queeq
that makes two things they are good at. See, they're not so bad.

Sadako of Girth
For those with insomnia, and/or having too much of a will to live

queeq
Such people exist. I think.

Sadako of Girth
Yes. Kill 'em all!

queeq
The quick and easy path.

Sadako of Girth
The path to the sleepier side.

queeq
*yawn*

Sadako of Girth
Damn lousy roofies

queeq
Wipe them out, I say.

Sadako of Girth
That'd be a full and sleepy stomach

queeq
Time to sleep...

Sadako of Girth
The black sleep of Khali?

queeq
For starters.

Sadako of Girth
Yes....forever sleep...

queeq
Miles to go before I sleep.

Sadako of Girth
Sleep is the seductive whore that robs us of precious minutes and seconds.

queeq
laughing out loud

Sadako of Girth
It combines with time to rob us of our consciously experienced lifespans and should be avoided at all costs.

queeq
I suggest speed and coke.

Kazenji
...Let us descend into the blind world.

Sadako of Girth
Great works of inspiration can be done on insomniac sessions.

queeq
Ah, so all that rambling after two nights without sleep is geniality... I better write down the crap I say then.

Sadako of Girth
Absolutely! It be gold, most likely...!

Kazenji
Could be onto the next big movie with some of those ramblings.

Sadako of Girth
A hardcore arthouse post-Lynchian classic

queeq
Sweet. The Return of Eraserhead.

Sadako of Girth
Well that baby thing certainly was Gungan-esque.

Pity no one cut JarJar's 'bandages'.

queeq
Hehehe... Lynch is such a visionary, he gave us that image of the baby to tell us it's a nightmare. He was right.

Sadako of Girth
LOL

Maybe future editions will replace it's wailing with "Meeeeeeeesa wannaaaaaa Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

queeq
Hey, a restored version just came out this week in the cinema's. We better go and see.

Sadako of Girth
Really?

queeq
It's being re-released here... restored they say.

Sadako of Girth
Veryyyyyy interesting.....

Do let me know if its got any extra footage!

queeq
Nope... Lynch is no Lucas.

Sadako of Girth
Thankfully..? stick out tongue

queeq
Oh yes.... he's got a CD coming out soon... Music from the Master... interesting.

Sadako of Girth
I agree!

Will check that out.
What instruments does he play?
Or is it a scoring thing?

queeq
Dunno really... apparantly he is singing on this one and playing the guitar.
