Too bad the BBFC didn't have the "12" rating back then... There was always a big gap between "PG" and "15", and the "12" and "12A" ratings finally bridged that gap. Well, at least the UK Blu ray is uncut... ...the first time since the movie's release that TOD has been issued uncut in UK...

Yes, uncut at last. All previous cuts waived by the BBFC and the rating increased from "PG" to "12".

True. Often, movies have temp tracks containing the kind of music the director has in mind before a composer is even hired to write the score. In the case of Star Wars, Lucas had a temp track that included material by Stravinsky, Dvorak, Bruckner and Holst. As well as segments from film scores...

Indeed he did. And JW has openly acknowledged the fact over the years. Holst's "Mars The Bringer of War" is a particularly noticeable influence on certain parts of the Star Wars score. I certainly wouldn't call any of it plagiarism, though. Many film score composers borrow from classical...

Thanks for the link, that's a great segment! :) (It's in Danish, by the way.)

That's why we must assume that the dig had the permission of the British and Egyptian authorities in some capacity. Some kind of agreement must have been reached between the respective governments... the dig was probably officially authorized with the understanding that it was administered under...

Great shots. That one of Indy and the periscope is particularly awesome. :D

I have all three Indy Buena Vista book & tape sets, along with the SW ones. Still love to listen to them! Great to hear the "Story Of" LPs too. I remember reading that the butler's Mae West line was changed to Mickey Mouse because SS and GL figured kids wouldn't know who Mae West was...
