It was a Sunday afternoon much like any other Sunday afternoon. Wife and son off to see the symphony, daughter down for a nap, I plant my over-tired body on the downstairs couch, turn on the television and drift away into a deep slumber.

When I awakened some 45-minutes later I see the opening credits for a film fading in/out, in/out of the screen. Hmm. "What's this?" I ponder. Michael Douglas. Kathleen Turner -- oh, must be one of those Raiders rip-offs they did back in the 80s.

Imagine the shock, the psyche-twisting horror when Director of Photography -- Jan deBont came on the screen.

My screams woke my daughter.

Jan De Bont was actually a good cinematographer. I believe he was the DOP for films like Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October. Too (much too) bad he didn't stick with such a good thing.

he's also a terrific sap sucking Hollywood whore.
