I *hate* it when people get 1970s art deco confused with 1930s art deco. It's just such a classless mistake to make.

Font fondlers, all of you!
Jim Cowie
watching movies with a font fondler is a terrible experience anyway. it's as if they have typographic tourette's. you're sitting through a quiet scene, and the camera pans across a document, and they snort and yell out "Caslon! CASLON!?"

You know how programmers get huffy when a movie set far in the future shows someone hacking into the pentagon using MacPaint? It's kind of like that.

Also in Raiders, they find the Ark of Covenant, which wasn't built until 1981.
