This seems like a very poor "fan-edit" as it is and seems more personal compared to an actual one. Not interested in the slightest.


Interesting tactic: repeatedly state that the faneditor is doing something pointless, then ask him to do an edit of something *you* would like to see.


IMO, Raiders of the Lost Ark should NOT be retitled to add "Indiana Jones and the..." because Indy himself is one of the raiders. He's after the ark too, he just has better motives for acquiring it.

True, the film itself wasn't retitled as was the DVD case, I'm pretty sure the DVD menu screen titles it "IJatRotLA"? While I can make my own cover easily, I can't easily replace the menu screen. And honestly, that's why I have yet to add RotLA to my DVD collection!

If I may go off on a tangent here: It drives me absolutely crazy when DVD menu screens give away too much of the film. Believe it or not, someone will actually be watching the film for the first time. Ridiculous to give it away. IIRC, the menu screen for "Raiders" is one of the worst offenders. Pretty much takes you scene-by-scene through the film. Fortunately my kids know that these menus can give things away and are always quick to say, "Hurry up and start it! I don't want to see too much!" Not that they've seen the Indiana Jones films, but it is a common occurrence.

Oh, and I can help PIF it, from the top or wherever you need me in the structure. I'm in the US but can mail internationally.
