Got my #SteeleandJones #RaidersoftheLostArk hat today. I didn’t want the #StreetsofCairo distressing but something more subtle. So I had Roberto give me a #LastCrusade distressing. This would be the look of the hat if Indy had kept his Raiders hat, had it cleaned before the start of Last Crusade, then had his tank battle. (How one has a cleaner hat from dirt and debris falling from above than from just fighting Arabs in a marketplace I’ll never know.). #IndianaJones #fedora

And here some EGA screenshots 👍 in fact, I find the EGA graphics rather refreshing and a nice change to the VGA; the EGA somewhat underlines the atmosphere better 😉

I don't know why I woke up with this thought today, because this is genuinely something I have not even thought about for years, but..
Surviving the Fridge Nuke in #IndianaJones and the #CrystalSkull actually makes complete and total sense after the events of the #LastCrusade, since Jones is thenceforth immortal.
And with that non-sequitur, merry Thor's Day y'all.

For #LastCrusade, we’ve already covered the Berlin airport.
The only other scene shot in the Bay Area was the forest motorcycle sidecar chase after Indy & his dad escape Castle Brunwald on the Austro-German border.
This was shot in Mt. Tamalpais State Park, aka Mt. Tam, again in the North Bay, near George Lucas’s ILM.
Neither #CrystalSkull nor #DialofDestiny was filmed at all within Northern California, with the latter shot entirely outside the U.S.
Hope you enjoyed and farewell, Indy!

To my mind, #LastCrusade remains the true finale. It's right in the title. By contrast, #CrystalSkull and #DialOfDestiny were stuck in development for ages and we didn't know if they'd come to fruition.

Yes, the #IndianaJones #Movies have inspired a slew of #Novels, but it's not a canon the movies stick to. It was 18 years between #LastCrusade and #CrystalSkull because the plot *didn't* flow naturally from the character. #GeorgeLucas was locked on his alien idea and #StevenSpielberg - who'd already made Close Encounters and E.T. - rejected the idea for years before giving in.

On the blog today! A joyful discussion with Ben Hatke on Indiana Jones and how those movies influenced our books.
