Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Big Bang Theory
Spoiler
Alert for the very small number of people who may still have not
watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. After watching The Big Bang Theory and
Amy Farrah Fowler's criticism of Raiders that, for all Indiana Jones'
actions in the film, he didn't alter the outcome one bit, that if he
hadn't been there the Nazis would still have ended up on the island with
the Ark and what happened to them would have
just been the same, that he made no difference to the outcome
whatsoever, I decided to give it a watch as it was quite some time since
I last saw it. And, damn it, she was right! Not only that, but aren't
some of the things in it just plain daft, even for a fantasy adventure
movie - such as the technology that enabled whoever built the temple at
the start of the film to build traps that would send out deadly arrows
or bolts at whoever crossed a beam of light! Light sensitive traps!
Still an enjoyable romp, mind, even after all these years - and far, far
better than the Crystal Skull fiasco.
