The HN title is very misleading, but the blog title of "Raiders" isn't very illuminating.
Maybe "staging in raiders of the lost ark"?

Except he led them to the amulet in the first place. Indiana Jones a Nazi collaborator? Film at 11.
The Nazis found the amulet independently; at least that was always my interpretation. There was no indication I could find that the Nazi in Tibet followed Jones.
They show him getting on the same plane as Jones. He’s following him.

#33In this version Belloq's head explodes at the end...I thought that footage was lost to time!? It's strange to see it in such pristine quality.

#34Wait did you just remove the sound and made it black and white to defeat copyright infringement algorithms ?

#35Just an aside: I was amused when someone pointed out that the plot of "Raiders" would have reached the same climatic end if Indiana Jones were completely removed from the script. I have noticed too that "This Island Earth" (if you know this old classic sci-fi film) is another such script in which the protagonist could be removed with no change in the outcome.
I've come across that as well. However, I'll add that it's a bit like saying that, in a 400m race (running), all the athletes are back where they started and they'd have been there even without going around the track.
It's a film trying to show the adventures of Indiana Jones.

I think Jaws holds up very well, too. It is a wonderful transitional film between classic and new Hollywood shot tempo and visual style.
I know this is an easy downvote and foolish statement, but I find very few pre-90s blockbuster movies to be watchable. Spielberg's movies hold up well though. There are a few others, like When Harry Met Sally, that I also still love.
Clash of the Titans is top notch.

#39I actually made a website called ‘The Artistifier’ at the time the artist was released (8 years ago?). It let you import any YouTube video, it made it black and white and a bit stuttery, put the music from the artist over the top and let you add silent movie captions. That music had a way of kind of enhancing anything you put behind it. Unfortunately it is now buried in the mass grave of internet past with all the ot…
As I was reading that I was going through the implementation in my head, totally doable in current tech

Will that actually work?
