Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[gillenium]

Spoilers

I heard that when Lucas pitched the project, he actually wanted to do Indiana Jones in Space (I'm not kidding). But when Spielberg got hold of it, most of the extra-terrestrial stuff was written out.... but not all.

Which is why I can safely say that, even when his ideas are improved upon and edited to kingdom come, Lucas can still extend his tentacles and make a movie bad.

And it's not so much that Spielberg is a bad director, it's just that he has a handful of tricks and he's used them all.. in everything. Remember the alien probe eye in the house in War of the Worlds? Now think back to the velociraptor scene in Jurassic Park.

The EXACT same scene. That's why his stuff is becoming so tiresome.
