Del perché Damon Lindelof è uno di noi.

latimes:

In honor of the 30th anniversary of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Emmy-winning writer and producer Damon Lindelof, in a guest essay for Hero Complex, describes seeing the action-adventure film for the first time when he was 8 years old.

Let’s just say the movie made an impact on Lindelof, whose credits include “Lost” and the 2009 “Star Trek” reboot. It begins:

This was not, contrary to later reports, an “accident.”  It was a decision I made of sound mind and body and one that I make no apologies for.  Despite overwhelming opportunity to release my bladder the way most civilized people do (that would be into a toilet), I made a conscious choice to do otherwise.   I offer only two points in my defense;  The first is that I was 8 years old.  The second, and much more relevant, is that I was in a movie theater watching “Raiders of the Lost Ark”  for the very first time.  And there was not a chance in hell I was missing a single second of that glorious movie.
