Very illuminating hearing those sound extracts again - they really are much better delivered than the lines that made the final cut. It would be fantastic if they featured in an Indy 4 fan edit.

Not long back there was talk of designing DVD menus. I was always hoping that when the KOTCS DVD first came out, it would feature a consistent design with the original Indy box set which was first released, instead of going for a whole new menu and cover look. I was able to find on Google Images and Youtube exactly what I'm meaning - I can't take credit for either, as much as I'd like to!:

I'm thinking that if someone was up to producing something of this kind (and indeed, it seems some people already have!), it'd really help tie this film to the others in terms of its physical appearance, and make it look a whole lot nicer when sitting beside the original trilogy (which is also what the main goal of the fan edits is as well; making the film more consistent in quality with the originals!). Of course, hopefully with a better film title in place! Personally, I'm still holding out for City of Gods!

Oh, and I've thought before - would it be at all possible to cut the CG alien out entirely at the film's conclusion? Including the skeletons merging? So that we only see the skeletons bearing down on Spalko? That way, bad CGI would be removed, and the UFO at the end would be the main pay off, and not seem like overkill (CG set-piece on top of a CG-set piece)? The film may build more effectively towards its finale in this way. Besides, we've already seen a better-looking alien in Spalko's tent, so it could be best to have the UFO as the next big reveal. Or would this not work out?
