This reminded me of something I was going to say in my previous post. One of the absolute dumbest plot devices of this whole movie comes right after this bit with Marion holding the wheel, where Indy tells everyone that nobody has to continue but him, and when he's asked why he says it's because the skull told him he had to. SHUT UP!!! I've never heard anything so stupid and it's just one more instance in this movie where Indy is being a puppet led around by someone or something else.

It seems to me that a good piece of this scene could be cut. Once they recognize that they need to be going up to those "eyes" it should just cut to them up there ... or possibly have some establishing shot of where they're heading again that slowly zooms into the area, possibly with the well of souls music in the background, then cuts to them in the entrance ... where the stupid reference to the torches recently being lit should cease to exist.

I hate this scene as well. Just seems pointless. Is anyone currently working on the edit?
