KPBS Film Club reviews new INDIANA JONES, THE VISITOR, BEFORE THE RAINS & ROMAN DE GARE
May 21st, 2008 by Scott Marks
This month I literally took out the film club to bash Steve and Indy’s skulls: Beth thought the film was “fun” and lucky Tom had to watch his kids when the screening took place.Before getting into it there’s a phoner with Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala. They are now in their 30s. But in 1982, when the first Raiders movie came out, they were kids. They both loved the Spielberg film, and they set out on what became be a multi-year adventure (don’t expect Killer of Sheep), doing a shot-by-shot remake of Raiders. Never saw it (never will), so I sat uncharacteristically mute. Spielberg is bad enough; imitation Spielberg untenable.
The rest of the proceedings ran smoothly. I ask that you pay particularly close attention to the phone call from listener Jessica. Best call-in ever! The woman obviously knows her stuff and speaks the truth!
