you should remember that their are other things in past indiana jones films that don't make sense like going of a plane in raft so nitpicking the scene makes as little sense as the scene itselfe
Indiana Jones Cookie lol. P.S: Just wondering for the sake of arguement: Would you rather have to have a salty old sea captain appear in all your episodes and help you review them AND read all your emails OR all of your petty arguements turn into serious like Bourne Identity style fight sequences?

this is a movie that I will ALWAYS defend. Its NOT as bad as everyone says. Shia is annoying, not to me at least, but I'm weird like that, but most of the complaints I hear from people sounds more like petty nit picking to me
@Altar360 I didn't find it that bad either, but I will admit as far as the "aliens" complaint goes, yes I was bothered by that too. Simply because from what I know from the Indiana Jones there are no room for the existence of aliens in its continuity.
@Altar360 its not nitpicking to say that the whole alien idea was far under explored, infact i would forgive every sin of this movie if only they had embraced it from the start. that and if they had remained in the relm of practical effects.
All the points you made in this review: aliens don't belong, the fridge scene was stupid, Shia plays a lot of sidekicks, the graveyard scene was pointless, the Russians didn't have a motivation (they actually did), the jungle shouldn't have been cg, monkeys are stupid, ants are stupid, the UFO was stupid, and it he "joke" is on you because the first Indiana jones movie in 19 years made a lot of money.

@DarknessIsTheTruth Those were very good points about the review. I have some rebuttals for you though. 1. The powers of the Crystal skulls are never shown or thoroughly explained, yes they are a cosmic being but the Russians didn't know that, I guess they just waned aliens. 2. The fact that Indy is old and his dad is dead is a huge plot-hole regardless, and they should have had some explanation. 3. Indy survived a NUCLEAR BLAST BY HIDING IN A FUCKING LEAD-LINED FRIDGE!!!! Ok I'm done :)
@DarknessIsTheTruth Yes it does, it is a pointless scene that makes NO sense and is just there to show that Harrison Ford is still a bad-ass (as if we needed convincing after cowboys and aliens), even though they could've come up with a SLIGHTLY more realistic. I'll stick with the originals, similar to ANOTHER series Lucas made.
@MrIHunter1 No it doesn't. All I hear is complaining about the fridge from people, at the exclusion of all else. The plot is still solid, the characters are solid, the action is solid, the are... decent, and all in all, it's still an Indiana Jones film, just like the other three.
So you can take your fridge and shove it up your ass.
@DarknessIsTheTruth I'm sorry did I insult you? I'm expressing things that bother me that might not bother you since we aren't the same exact person. And whether or not you like this movie, I don't understand but I except your opinion, you do NOT have the right to say it is as good as the other movies. And fuck you for insulting me for no reason asshole!
@MrIHunter1 Oh, you want to talk about opinions? Okay.
Crystal Skull is just as good as the other movies. Hell, it's better than Temple of Doom, if only because Ravenwood is far and away a better character than Willie Scott.
@DarknessIsTheTruth Oh so now you want an intelligent conversation. Well I do (or did) respect your opinion, but MINE is that this movie is not as good as the originals, though I didn't find it QUITE as bad as BBB put out. While I agree that Temple of Doom was the weaker of the trilogy, it DID have an intimidating villain (though what's a Hindu doing practicing voodoo?).
@DarknessIsTheTruth This conversation would be alot more enriching and enjoyable if you didn't flip your shit over people hating the Fridge thing and taking it out on me
And ANOTHER thing: 7:11 They find THE SKULL!!!! Afterwards they get captured, but STILL, the find the skull. Furthermore, sure the film as some stupid moment, but guess what: The other three films have stupid moments too! And why? Because they're supposed to be homages to the silly black-and-white adventure flicks of old! Even Indy's name, Jones, is a homage, because past heroes have the name "Jones" too!
And another thing: So what if Shia Lebuff is a moron? Indiana Jones is still the man. Indy looks old because Harrison Ford is getting old. As such, the film is set in the fifties, with refences to the fears of Communuism, the Nucleal arms, etc. In fact, there were a lot of Sci-fi serials on radios at the the time, so the use of "aliens" is actually just.
I'm pretty sick of everyone complaining about the aliens. One of the themes of the Indiana Jones movies is religious artifacts and such. If one actually PAYS ATTENTION, you will learn that the "aliens" (which are actually beings from another dimension) were worshipped by an ancient civilization as GODS. They came from another dimension and taught a race of humans agriculture, science, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
@simsgirlgem Well I'm not one of those people who thinks your a noob idiot. Remember, Thor is always swayed by maidens, so I still feel the draw is possible.
@ERod2010 I personally like to do a crossover fic where the sonic cast is still on our plain of existance and its also the marvel verses existance and Thor gets hurt how don't ask still trying to think of that bad and Amy finds his hammer and manages to use it
I'm 17 so I was never exposed to the Indi movies until this one came out, I had heard of them but was never given any real recomendation to watch them, so when this came out I went and saw it and I liked it, but I hadn't seen the others, so I was then given the trilogy for my birthday and I loved it, which put my opinion of the 4th one down a couple notches, however I never thought to myself, "Wow the 4th movies is terrible now that I've seen this" I like them all, Crusade being my favourite :D
A personal pet peeve of mine is when Lucas gets top billing of the blame-game for the movie's shortcomings when Spielburg directed it. It's like when people blame Michael Bay for the faults of the Friday/Elm Street remakes when he was just the producer.
@DarthJoshReturns The difference is Bay is just a director. Lucas is one the most powerful people in Hollywood. You know he had more control over this turkey than he should have had.
I LIKED THIS MOVIE. There I said it. The aliens actually fit in there more than people think. BTW it's NOT pandering to Scientology; I take it that no one here's ever heard of Ancient Astronaut Theory. As someone who knows about it, I have to say that the way the movie approaches AAT is near perfect. Seriously, just look it up, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
@christiansoldier11 No it doesn't. The movie still sucks. That video is just james' personal take on the matter. Which is not bad take, but still doesn't make this movie any better. I love James, but I'm with The South Park guys on this one, they raped Indiana Jones right in the Ass.
@ERod2010 All the movies deal with religion. The arc was carried by the Hebrew slaves, Temple of Doom (is my favorite and in my opinion the best one of the movies) took place in India there for Hinduism. Voodoo is from Afria then moved to Jamica and other parts of South America The cup of Christ was at the last supper. Scientology is the only one that deals with aliens so that's why I picked it.
Are you and me the ONLY people who hated this movie? It's like if Independence Day farted on Indiana Jones. Great review, glad this movie is finally getting his. But hey...What's better? This or "Young Indiana Jones"?
i think the main problem with shia in this movie is that, when you get down to it, he's pretty uninspiring. he does ok, i suppose, in roles where hes playing an everyman type thats in over his head, but the son of a legendary film icon like Indiana Jones? I look at him and I just don't buy that. It would have been better if they didn't play the "he's your son " card, and Mutt was just a kid tagging along on the adventure.
I respect your views but I disagree. Granted this is not a typical Indy film as it has no christian or established religious relic. This however was an homage to the films of the 50s which involved a large amount of Alien movies and yes the scene with him swinging on the vines was a Tarzan reference which was also big in the 50s.
It seems fans only want carbon copies of the old movies rather then anything new and inventive. Shame
so tell me why do people hate this movie so much i mean granted it wasnt the best of the series but it wasnt the worst if you ask me the temple of doom was the worst because of the weak characters lame plot at least crystal skull is somewhat memorable even though it isnt nearly as good as raiders or last crusade
@wiecek13 Well, first of all you are not surviving a fricking nuke with a -fridge-.
Second it probably just was underwhelming, all the hype was for nothing. The movie itself while bad, isn't certainly horrible and can be entertaining at time but this is Indiana Jones, not some low tier action movie.
@EarthEntertainment97 you're implying that Jurassic park four to be a prequel of Jurassic park in another universe. If Shia ever does appear in movie such as a Jurassic park he'll probably be a semi annoying geeky character related to Dr. Grant because he's already done dumb and or arrogant characters in Sci Fi movies and Dr Grant doesn't believe in personal family making. Otherwise Shia might appear in the televison series Terra Nova.
I don't think this movie is all THAT bad. Sure it featured aliens instead of religious artifacts, casting shia labeouf was a mistake, and the nuking the fridge thing was bloody ridiculous, I still found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all of the hatred of this film stems from the awesomeness of the first three indy movies and how this one doesn't measure up by comparison. I still enjoyed your review, ERod. Keep up the good work!
@asodimu213 I also really enjoyed the review, and as a huge fan of Indy and his series, I do have to agree with you and say that this one wasn't as bad as everyone says. And, in answer to your two gripes, technically the alien skull was a religious artifact to the natives. When Mutt says to him, upon seeing the skull, "That's not what God looks like." Indy replies "Depends on who your god is."
And the whole nuking the fridge moment was supposed to be a stupid escape moment.
Personally I think surviving an explosion in a lead portable bomb shelter is more realistic than a cup granting eternal life, a magic box melting your face off, or having your heart yanked out without killing you.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion but honestly we did know why they wanted the crystal skull they wanted to win the cold war. The fact it was tech instead of mystic didn't really change much for me.
You wanna know the really sick part about this whole thing? This version of the movie is actually the BETTER version, and it's because Spielberg told Lucas to go screw himself during the ending of the movie. See, Ford said he'd never be Han Solo again. Ever. Lucas didn't like that, and wanted to do a Jones/Solo crossover. So, the original ending to the movie was going to be Indy having a blaster fight with the aliens ala Star Wars. Yes, Indy would instantly know how to use an alien blaster gun.
Know what would be more realistic than Indy surviving a nuke by climbing into a fridge? ANYTHING! Depending on the sheer force of his awesomeness to protect him!
i have never saw the Indinana jones movies and i liked this one, now you people thinking the nuke fridge part their near death situations if you look at some action movies you can see the hero try to escape near deaths.
I'm not going to argue with you about this film, since you're entitled to your opinion, but can I ask did you see AVGN's top 10 sequels that aren't as bad as people say. This film was #1--I think-- and I feel the same way he does about it.
the thing you dont get is because the original trilogy took place in the 30's it represented the adventure serials of the era, and the new trilogy is set in the 50's it represents the b movies of the era.
I thought this review was really hilarious, though there wasn't a lot to it.
And while I understand that a lot of people disliked this movie, I actually enjoyed it. While it was ridiculous, and I also shook my head at the fridge scene, I actually like Shia LeBouf, didn't mind the CGI, and I don't think the alien thing was as implausible as most people do. I mean... we've had a LOT of weird shit happen in Indiana Jones, most involving magic, I'm just not sure how aliens was so unbelievable.
I hate to do this to you but a fridge would protect you from radation as for the blast its not like he hopped out of the fridge and danced i think people need to let this one go
I actually like Crystal Skull. It definately isnt as bad as everyone says. Is it the weakest of the series? Yes. The biggest disgrace to the Indy Franchise? No. I think that some of the video games and the television show have that covered.
Know what would have been more plausible than Indy surviving that nuclear blast by climbing into a fridge? ANYTHING!!!! Indy's sheer manly awesomeness shrugging off the blast would have been better! That little prick in I Robot was Shia LeBitch?!? Dear God was he annoying! I'm actually more pissed off!
You know what'd be awesome? If you made a top list every year with movies that didn't disappoint. I've just browsed through half of your YT videos and I'm kinda depressed about the movie industry right now >_<
2 things brought this movie down for me. The first was the Aliens. It's just off putting when the rest of the franchise was mostly about religious artifacts. Sure, you can argue that the route was chose to pay homage to the Retro era of the 1950's, but it's still out of place for Indy. The second was Shia LaBeouf. I hate Shia LaBeouf.
i don't know why every body hates Kingdom of the crystal skull its better than the second Indiana Jones movie and in my opinion a great Installment in the series
also the aliens are actually based off of a Mayan myth about a man who came from the sky there for alien
@narutou9 Last crusade > Raiders > Temple of Doom > Crystal Skull. Aliens have no place in Indiana Jones movies, those are strictly religious artifacts and adventures. Plus, Shia Lebuff.
you are one of my favorite reviewers i think your videos are defiantly on par with if not better than most of the ppl on tgwtg i think you will rise up through the ranks of tgwtg quickly
@ERod2010 Dude I just wanted to say I'm a big fan and I love your work on these videos. Very funny and entertaining. Keep up the great work! I look forward to watching more of your videos ^_^
While the movie isn't as good as part 1 or 3, it's way better than part 2 (no screaming for one). Yes,it has its stupid moments, yes, it has its problems, but at least it has some good moments, and a good ending. There are worse things out there. (and I don't think that aliens are worse then a religious objects melting away bodies - both is over the top).
Okay, mate, you still have not made it clear to me why this film is to be disliked. Aye, i acknowledge that there are sill scenes, albeit, no one seems to notice the fact that the fridge was lined with lead, but then again I'm no expert with metal. But I digress. Also, you seem to have completely looked over the fact that the Russians do explain their motivations, albeit not in detail.
This review was just... bad. I didn't see a single thing that amounted to a legitimate reason to hate the film.
@pskullv I'm not going to fight you on this, I just personally hate it, as a filmmaker and as an Indiana Jones fan. If you like it that's fine and I don't hold it against you.
You have one thing in common with people who trash this film: I highly disagree. I like the film for what it is. It may not be on par with Raiders, or the Last Crusade (my favorite in the series), but I like it a tad better than The Temple of Doom. The fridge was kind of silly, and I hated Tarzan Mutt, but I could let the aliens slide due to the supernatural themes of the predecessors. Bottom line, I disagree with your review, but hey, opinions are opinions, I guess.
The Russians want the Skull to develop psychic warfare and use it on their enemies, they stated it twice. The South American cave they go in they find the Crystal Skull, not nothing. Surprise at the flying saucer at the end? Um, the aliens were mention earlier and you were okay with it at first. Seriously, this in one review I hate.
I am sorry that you did not grasp on to what Speilberg and Lucas were trying to accomplish here. The film, as Lucas pointed out, was not supposed to be made in the same fashion as the other films. It takes place in the 50's. Which films were popular in the 50's? B Science Fiction films, which this film did well emulating. Sorry, but any true Indiana Jones fan would appreciate this film too
I will just say this, yes It was corny that he survived a nuclear bomb while in a fridge, but is it less believable than an object in an Ark that can melt your face if you look at it? Or a cult that can rip the heart right out of you with no real damage to the surrounding area of your body by just yelling KALI MA! I'm just saying sometimes logic is not needed for Indy just enjoy badassitude.
Erod check out cinemassacre top 10 movies that arent that bad (the angry video game nerd) and skip to nuber 1. Im not trying to change your opinion but the fact you said this insults us indiana jones fans kinda annoyed me. My grandpa who is the biggest indiana jones fan than all of us combined LOVED this movie said it was one of his favorites all im saing is that cinemassacre top 10 movies that arent that bad wii tell you our side of the argument (the 20% of us who actually liked this movie)
@mina319 Yes I've seen it, and while I respect James, I still disagree. All I'm going to say is that this is the movie that pissed me off to the degree of inspiring the show.
@ERod2010 yea I respect your opnion too but again after all the reviews I STILL see absolutly no reason to hate this movie its all just nitpicking and you can do the same with the other indiana jones movies all the problems with this movie also arise in the other indiana jones movies aswell
It pissed me of to. the nuclear fridge being the boiling point. But ... I have to say this is the adult talking, if I saw this movie at the same age that I watched the previous movies it would have been awesome. Now when I watch the Jones trilogy ... I have to say none of the movies made much sense. But it's just that those are the types of movies where you just turn off your logic center and enjoy the show. Chuck Norris, Stallone, Segal flicks are the same. This of course applies to me only :)
After all the reviews from people bashing this movie..............I still see no valid reason to hate this movie, All the reviewers do is nitpick, and say all that like The other movies didnt have dumb moments honestly temple of doom was way dumber than the crystal skull and if you think about it this one had the most logical story because there is valid reason that other life forms could exist and its more realistic than a box that melts people guy who can pull your hearts out
yet again, i dont think this film was that bad i mean indy was cool and also indy always escapes from impossible situations so i dont mind nuking the fridge but i didnt like the overuse of cgi and tbh i dont think shia was as annoying in this film as he has been in others
Indy's in the 50's now... what did you expected the "mystical object" to be about? It HAD to be aliens... I agree that there are some dumb moments in this film but, I'm sorry, I can't agree with you about this being the worst film ever, or the dumbest... I enjoyed it, flaws and all... And no, Indy is not a larger than life character, quite the contrary, the whole point of Indy is that he's FLAWED and HUMAN, so, him getting married is not a problem to me... what? he can't be happy and in love?
@ComandoPadentro Okay, I never said that Indy couldn't be happy and in love. And I never said that there shouldn't be aliens. This was just badly presented. One of the greatest aspects about the Indy movies is the presentation, Blue Collar guy, Larger than life adventure. Somewhere between all the CG and the goofiness (Gofers , ants, the nuked frige) they seriously lost sight of that.
@ERod2010 Fine! I'll give the fridge thing, FAIL! But I have to say t I LOVED the shot of Indy standing and watching the mushroom cloud (that looked epic!) The problem with the presentation is that they tried to emulate the look of the old films and it shows, why would they ask Januz Kaminski (sp?) to imitate the look of another DP? I mean, Januz is and AMAZING DP! Let him do his job! Why are the gofers so hated? Damn! they have like two very short scenes, move on! And the ants? AWESOME MOMENT!
@ComandoPadentro Look, this was was just an over-blown version of my opinion. I am in no way trying to get you to change yours. While I value your opinion, there's no need to send me an essay about the finer points of a movie that I don't like. I respect that you like it, so please respect that I hate it. If you feel really strongly about it, then make a video.
@ERod2010 Hey! Don't get me wrong... the "essay" was just me talking to you, a fellow movie buff about a film, it wasn't in any way, shape or form an atempt to change your feelings about the flick... I value your opinion (that's why I watch your videos) and felt like having a "conversation" about it with you. It wasn´t my intention to offend you or anything... Sorry if I came out too strong, but, I guess if anyone would understand that is a fellow geek hehehe. It's ok tough, I'll shut up ;-)
I loved that secuence (ants) and the fist fight between Indy and that big russian... The climax is kinda weak, Indy doesn't do anything and stuff happens arround him to wich he has no control... ajem, remember Raiders???? it's the SAME THING! Indy is tied up and doesn't do anything! Ok, I know that the object was more interesting in the first film but, maybe we, as an audience are more cinical and bitter than the audiences back then I mean, if Raiders was released today...
...What would we say? I thing that this film, flwas and all, has the same vibe of the old flicks, and we expected too much of it, so we have to give ourselves a little bit of blame too... Spielberg and Lucas tried too hard to make it like the old ones and we expected the fucking second comming... this was bound to happen... but I can enjoy what is good there, and there is a lot to like for me. Love your videos by the way dude, keep it up! Peace!
Any story from the videogames are 500x better than this plot. The recent Staff of Kings comes to mind, why? No Shia, no aliens, no nuclear test sight, a hot and smart love interest (I love Marion though), thugs to fight with everywhere, no crazy russian woman (worst role by Blanchet)......I mean you know you did something wrong when the plot of a videogame pictures the characters better than you do in a movie.
@ERod2010 Yeah I think if they had removed the nuclear test sight part and put something else in place of it as well as elminiate Shia and the whole Indys son part the movie would have been at least 5 times better the whole son thing was too cliche it wasn't even a good twist.
@orichalcossaiyan I still refuse to believe that's going to happen... and no I'm not in denial... I just refuse to accept your reality so I'm substituting it with my own.
@ERod2010 Yeah and to be honest I very much enjoyed the last one they made I consider the third and first to be the best the second is my least favorite and the fourth is my third favorite.
This is a very good review but what were you expecting exactly. I mean I know the fridge, scene the snake scene, and the monkey scene are kinda stupid but these are just little moments which i didn't really care about but thats my opinion
@Jimtendo583 Well, this video is just for entreatment, but ultimately this movie was a big disappointment for me personally, and it's the only movie that I've reviewed so far that I actually dislike.
"Stunts involving vehicles were shot on location in Hawaii, while CGI was used to add plants to the forest"

I'm 17 so I was never exposed to the Indi movies until this one came out, I had heard of them but was never given any real recomendation to watch them, so when this came out I went and saw it and I liked it, but I hadn't seen the others, so I was then given the trilogy for my birthday and I loved it, which put my opinion of the 4th one down a couple notches, however I never thought to myself, "Wow the 4th movies is terrible now that I've seen this" I like them all, Crusade being my favourite :D

A personal pet peeve of mine is when Lucas gets top billing of the blame-game for the movie's shortcomings when Spielburg directed it. It's like when people blame Michael Bay for the faults of the Friday/Elm Street remakes when he was just the producer.

BTW it's NOT pandering to Scientology; I take it that no one here's ever heard of Ancient Astronaut Theory. As someone who knows about it, I have to say that the way the movie approaches AAT is near perfect. Seriously, just look it up, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

i think the main problem with shia in this movie is that, when you get down to it, he's pretty uninspiring. he does ok, i suppose, in roles where hes playing an everyman type thats in over his head, but the son of a legendary film icon like Indiana Jones? I look at him and I just don't buy that. It would have been better if they didn't play the "he's your son " card, and Mutt was just a kid tagging along on the adventure.
nightowl685 2 months ago
I respect your views but I disagree. Granted this is not a typical Indy film as it has no christian or established religious relic. This however was an homage to the films of the 50s which involved a large amount of Alien movies and yes the scene with him swinging on the vines was a Tarzan reference which was also big in the 50s.
It seems fans only want carbon copies of the old movies rather then anything new and inventive. Shame

@EarthEntertainment97 you're implying that Jurassic park four to be a prequel of Jurassic park in another universe. If Shia ever does appear in movie such as a Jurassic park he'll probably be a semi annoying geeky character related to Dr. Grant because he's already done dumb and or arrogant characters in Sci Fi movies and Dr Grant doesn't believe in personal family making. Otherwise Shia might appear in the televison series Terra Nova.

I don't think this movie is all THAT bad. Sure it featured aliens instead of religious artifacts, casting shia labeouf was a mistake, and the nuking the fridge thing was bloody ridiculous, I still found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all of the hatred of this film stems from the awesomeness of the first three indy movies and how this one doesn't measure up by comparison. I still enjoyed your review, ERod. Keep up the good work!
asodimu213 3 months ago
@asodimu213 I also really enjoyed the review, and as a huge fan of Indy and his series, I do have to agree with you and say that this one wasn't as bad as everyone says. And, in answer to your two gripes, technically the alien skull was a religious artifact to the natives. When Mutt says to him, upon seeing the skull, "That's not what God looks like." Indy replies "Depends on who your god is."
And the whole nuking the fridge moment was supposed to be a stupid escape moment.
CaptainDoctor007 2 months ago
Personally I think surviving an explosion in a lead portable bomb shelter is more realistic than a cup granting eternal life, a magic box melting your face off, or having your heart yanked out without killing you.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion but honestly we did know why they wanted the crystal skull they wanted to win the cold war. The fact it was tech instead of mystic didn't really change much for me.
MrJackfaire 3 months ago
You wanna know the really sick part about this whole thing? This version of the movie is actually the BETTER version, and it's because Spielberg told Lucas to go screw himself during the ending of the movie. See, Ford said he'd never be Han Solo again. Ever. Lucas didn't like that, and wanted to do a Jones/Solo crossover. So, the original ending to the movie was going to be Indy having a blaster fight with the aliens ala Star Wars. Yes, Indy would instantly know how to use an alien blaster gun.

2 things brought this movie down for me. The first was the Aliens. It's just off putting when the rest of the franchise was mostly about religious artifacts.

(and I don't think that aliens are worse then a religious objects melting away bodies - both is over the top).

You have one thing in common with people who trash this film: I highly disagree. I like the film for what it is. It may not be on par with Raiders, or the Last Crusade (my favorite in the series), but I like it a tad better than The Temple of Doom. The fridge was kind of silly, and I hated Tarzan Mutt, but I could let the aliens slide due to the supernatural themes of the predecessors. Bottom line, I disagree with your review, but hey, opinions are opinions, I guess.

@ComandoPadentro Okay, I never said that Indy couldn't be happy and in love. And I never said that there shouldn't be aliens. This was just badly presented. One of the greatest aspects about the Indy movies is the presentation, Blue Collar guy, Larger than life adventure. Somewhere between all the CG and the goofiness (Gofers , ants, the nuked frige) they seriously lost sight of that.
ERod2010 8 months ago
@ERod2010 Fine! I'll give the fridge thing, FAIL! But I have to say t I LOVED the shot of Indy standing and watching the mushroom cloud (that looked epic!) The problem with the presentation is that they tried to emulate the look of the old films and it shows, why would they ask Januz Kaminski (sp?) to imitate the look of another DP? I mean, Januz is and AMAZING DP! Let him do his job! Why are the gofers so hated? Damn! they have like two very short scenes, move on! And the ants? AWESOME MOMENT!
