As you can tell by the title, its way better and worth the read. Shows what happens (and what is lost) when you pacify a film for mass consumption.
Of particular interest is the Marion Ravenwood character. In this version she actually resembles the woman who punched out Indy in the drinking match from Raiders, not a goddamn soccer mom.
