Saw it today. My review: “Eh” (courtesy of my Jewish heritage. Great word for “Just OK” ) Ok way to turn off your brian and be given “spoon-fed” entertainment for a couple of hours. A plot you could have actually followed would have been nice, but I guess that would have gotten in the way of the car chases!



Who was in the oil portrait hanging in the hallway outside Indie’s classroom? The camera lingered for a moment on it so I thought it must be significant.



It was Marcus Brody, the guy who Indy worked for in his University, and the Museum Curator. Had a big part in the third Indy movie as the bumbling intellectual type who could read a dozen languages but can’t find his way around in “the field”. They also used his image for the bronze statue in the courtyard, the one the Russian agents crash into. I’m not sure if the actor has died, and that is why they gave his image so many scenes (in tribute?). Off to check IMDB to find the answer…
