(I actually like the first 2/3 of Crystal Skull!)

To me it seems GL likes the hustling. Not in a greedy, cheapskate miserly way, but just the whole game of it. He always seems genuinely engaged and interested at industry things, and he seems hyper-aware of what everything in the biz costs and what everything makes and how to shave/raise those numbers in new ways. (which is funny for a guy who makes such a big show about not living in/going Hollywood) I think that's fun for him and we know from his own words that making movies is no fun at all. I don't think he can relate to that starry-eyed, childlike love of movies/moviefan thing the way Spielberg can because he was just never that guy. He was into getting more rpms from an engine and still is. Which is perfectly cool, it's just a bummer for us because he can't even relate to the mere idea that anyone would possibly care about using old, broken, inferior parts.
