I am a huge fan of Film Director/Producer Steven Spielberg. I created this blog so that his work could be discussed in a fair manner. If you don't like Mr Spielberg there's no need to stop by the Steven Spielberg Apprectation Society.
After a back and forth discussion on the latest Indy movie. I felt it necessary to look at another Trilogy with Spielberg's name on it....BACK TO THE FUTURE. Ok he didn't direct it but if it wasn't for him....'we never would've fallen in love'...I mean it wouldn't have been made. Kudos to the Bobs for writing and directing it, tho. I'll never forget the moment I was in the cinema and realised....HE'S SITTING NEXT TO HIS DAD....NO WAY!!!! Everybody wants to travel thru time and these guys totally made it possible. Thank you BOB's & STEVE.
What are your memories of BTTF? And what did you make of the sequels?
It's been a wee while since I've posted anything - sorry. I gave my brother a loan of the Indy 'Trilogy' note the quotes there as it's no longer a trilogy. One of the greastest Trilogies of all time....agreed? Agreed! Then almost 20 years later, possibly the most anticipated comeback of all time...excluding Episode 1 (but we'll get to that soon) and I'll never forget it. I was so disappointed. I felt like crying. There were a couple of bits that made me go 'YES INDY'S back!'. Like when Indy sees Marion, his face changes in the best way. Or later when Mutt throws him the snake to get out if the quicksand. I did like that. And I have to say the bit with the hat at the end was pretty good. But all in all I was pretty distraught. They had completely changed the rules about Indy, eg Starting with a story that has nothing to do with the main body of the film, but linked somehow. I always felt like I was one step ahead and it didn't seem like Michael Kahn had edited it. And.....ALIENS? Is Indy not about ancient artifacts and in the ground? Not Spacemen. Sorry George I mean Inter Dimensional Beings. WHAT? DEMENTIAL YOU MEAN. I bought the DVD anyway as you do, and discovered that (no surprise) it was all George Lucas' idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the man, he changed my life. But he did short change us with Star Wars I, II & III. Now Indy. Spielberg was done with it and said he definately didn't want to do aliens. Sadly, even tho there were a couple of funnies in this one, I kinda wish they'd just said.....'NAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Let's not make this pile of Crap!'. Sorry Guys.
