Just thought I would share my custom box I made for my Indy steels. Yes I double dipped. I bought the 4k box set with the white steelbooks. I then bought the individual steelbooks that they released. I know DoD is missing but I didn't really like that and even then that steel that released wouldn't have matched either of these. Basically used some wood artist panels and used a bar clamp to glue them together. I then cut pieces of leather to size. I... Read more ..read more

I had pre-ordered this when it was first revealed along with a number of other offerings from Diamond Select. It arrived a week or so ago. I took some photos but it honestly looks better in hand than it does in pictures. My lighting wasn't great either. Here is the official promo image. And the final product largely looks true to the promo image. Here are some of the pics I snapped. Again... Read more ..read more

There's more than just the Gestapo. Or rather, nothing about this character makes any sense. Let me rephrase. Toht makes sense as presented in the film's story, but not the way people discuss him.

The problem is that Toht is not on a mission a Gestapo agent would actually have. Nothing he says or does indicates he is enforcing any laws. He... Read more ..read more

anyone else's LEAST favorite Indy film, even with Crystal Skull in the mix? Don't get me wrong as I think all four movies are awesome in their own way, even Last Crusade which I always enjoy a lot, and it wasn't even always my least favorite, but it just seems to hold up the least well of the films for me. I find it's far too lighthearted and comical, which in turn makes it not have the same feeling of danger and intensity Raiders and Temple Of Doom both had in big numbers, and...
