New Indiana Jones TV spot finally in glorious quicktime!

Published at:  Apr 30, 2008 1:58:29 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The bootleg of the new Indy TV spot has been floating around the net for a couple of days, but it was so over-blown that you couldn't hear what Cate Blanchett was saying and barely make out the action.

I figured TV spots are quickly turned around by big studio publicity machines and Paramount didn't disappoint. It's 30 seconds of quicktime glory... What these TV spots are showing us that no trailers have is that Indiana Jones as we know and love him is really back. Harrison Ford has the light in his eyes again. The "Always glad to help" line and smirk feels like Indy. Hopefully he's in a badass story to boot.

    by sambrook

    Just after the Lucasfilm logo, a stream of light goes across the screen. Slow it down and it looks like a very birght, very fast, very smokey crashing vessel.

    by sambrook

    Isn't birght like a German sandwich? Either way I love this ad, better than the last one which was just an abbreviated teaser. Nothing wrong with that but it's good to see glimpses of new stuff without it spoiling anything. And everything - the performances, the cinematography, the tone - seems perfect. Iron Man (and Speed Racer to a point) will tide me over but the next three weeks and one day (I'm seeing a midnight Wednesday 21st screening) are going to be impatient times.

    by cobbio

    I liked that TV spot better than the previous trailers. The fact Indy was smiling and giving "the look" was what did it for me, not the action, though that wasn't bad either.
    The quick-cut super slickness of the fonts, colors, and graphics has me a bit worried, though. I hope they keep the film itself free (as much as possible) of this stuff.

    I wouldn't worry about the cuts and graphics, that'll just be to cram that much into a 30 second spot. From all the inteviews they've said they want this film to look the same as the previous three. Besides, Spielberg has never been one for fast-cuts and Lucas was stubborn about keeping the same stle of editing for the prequels (with all his fancy wipes and dissolves).

    Not the first time Batman has gone against Indy...

    by sapno_krei

    In 1989, Burton's BATMAN beat LAST CRUSADE for first place. But it had the benefit of being fresh and new. This time around, INDY has the advantage of pent-up demand. It's downfall could only come in the form of poor word-of-mouth, coupled with the public's desire to see Heath Ledger's final (complete) role.

    I wouldn't be too sure... The Dark Knight has had much better advertising (hell, it's HAD advertising... unlike Indy which has had very little). Paramount has really dropped the ball. It's almost like they're trying to keep everyone's expectations in check. I dunno, maybe they know what they're doing. We'll see.

    We kids of the 70s/80s have been blessed to have another chance to get that feeling one more time. Admit it, whatever you felt about the prequels, the month or so leading up to the films' releases were pure electricity. It makes me sad to think that INDY4 may be the last summer movie that I can truly geek out about, old-school style.

     Indiana Jones will appeal to a broader audience. My mother, who's pushing 60, doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, much less view the online viral ad crap being cranked out by the Dark Knight camp. By the title alone, she didn't even know it was supposed to be a Batman movie. However, she's really excited about Indiana Jones 4. I think my mother is emblematic of the general American populace, which will embrace Indiana Jones’ more family friendly nature.

    The (tent) shot is reversed so it "matches" the shot of Spalko, which is from a different (warehouse) scene, giving the impression that it is one and the same conversation, when it isn't.

    Also, Spalko commanding the troops in the warehouse is reversed as well, although for no apparent reason I can think of.

    I agree with the "felt more like Indy" comment. Like when he says, "Always glad ta help." I weep for today's children who don't have the cinema heroes I had as a boy...Han Solo, Indy Jones, Rocky, Rambo, John MacClane, so many more. Nice to have new installments from lots of the "old" franchises. If it takes grandpa Jones to inspire today's budding adventurer-archaeologist, so be it. Jedi. Because even in name alone, Harrison Ford is twenty times the man Shia LaPoof wishes he could be on his most manly of days.

As long as they go light on the aliens and not self-reference their other movies too much, I can still put aliens into the "mysteries of the unknown" type of category that you'd find other indy artifacts in. As long as they don't try to make Indy Han Solo's father or something, it should still be ok.

    that even Lucas did not seem enthused about this movie. I think Lucas suffers from depression. I'm serious. We've all seen his interviews, and he's not an especially upbeat guy. And that's fine. So it could be that although he is excited, you won't catch him doing cartwheels because that's not his style. Retouching classic movies with inane CGI is his style. Bless you, George!
    I think the reason they haven't released full-length trailers for this is because they know many of us, myself included, would spooge our pants embarrassingly. So instead they give us these short but stimulating little "handjob" sneak peeks. Hey works for me.

    I'm going to have to go with the rocket sled camp over the alien ship one. If you go frame by frame you can clearly see that that thing is actually on the ground rather than in the sky. It's just because it's framed in a way that it's moving along the ground right where it meets the horizon, so it looks like it's in the sky when it's going fast.

    I think Lucas is depressed and somewhat gunshy after the beating he took from the fanboys who didn't take to his Star Wars prequels. Lucas is only human,he surfs the webs and reads the message boards like the rest of us. It's only natural to take it somewhat personal, so I could see it really affecting him.

    If you can track down the EW interview with Lucas though, he is more upbeat there and seems really enthused about Kingdom, especially with all the acting talent involved this time around. Part of me hopes that Kingdom does well and puts a little spring back in the step of Lucas.

    I notice there's very little DIALOGUE!

    by nodiggity

    And what little snippets we get don't sound really impassioned. It has that Spielbergian "One take, that's it, next" feel, and the rumors about this are that that is exactly what he did ... rushed it through. (I remember some actors going on about Spielberg's fast one-take style on some recent flick of his .. Saving Private Ryan, I think it was). I'm also dismayed that the few action scenes have this golden washed-out look to them ... are they doing that to deprive still creators from getting good detailed stills from the trailer, or is that washed out CGI look a big part of the film? I read Lucas and Spielberg's interview where they both go on about what a fantastic villain Cate Blanchett is in this movie, but I'm not feeling it, especially not in that trailer. She's emotionlessly asking him for something, he's apathetically farting out the line "Glad to be of help" ... it does NOT feel like Indy to me. It sounds like Indy-going-through-the-motions.

    First of all, impressive you have the superpower to dismiss a two hour movie based on a thirty second spot. Bravo. Second, where did you get that info about Spielberg? In Saving Private Ryan they were shooting an the Omaha Beach scene where you had to shoot fast to get the intensity. In CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, however that take of Christopher Walken tearing up talking about meeting his wife was like the seventh one. That scene probably was the one that got him the Oscar nomination. You were making a slam about saying it "Indy-going-through-the motions" but it was really a compliment. Indy has been in this type of situation before and knows he's going to get out of it!

    Bats is gonna kick Indys gedriatic ass

    by darth rod

    I'm eager to see a new Indy movie don't get me wrong, but I think Batman has more potential BO wise, yeah Indy is huge but you have to be on the 25 and up age to really connect with Indy.

    It's been almost 20 years since the last one, are teenage kids excited on seeing a 60 something hero? and thats were a huge part of the money is on the teens. On the other hand Bats has a young cast, awesome buzz, the "bonus" of heaths death to add to the box office fire, hell of a ad campaign, and is fresh on the pop culture, the last movie was 3 years ago. Indy beside nostalgia has nothing more.

    The reason the exchange between Spalko and Indy feels off is because it is obviously two different scenes edited together to appear as one. And Spalko is telling Indy while she has the point of her sword pinned up against his neck, along with a hanger full of commies to back her up....she doesn't need any theatrics beyond what is already there.

    by johnspartan

    Maybe my monitor's just dark, but I had to watch that first shot of Blancett three times to figure out that was a sword in front of her face and not a moustache. Really crappy staging...I'm sure it looks better in context, but there's no way to register that vague black shape as a sword in this cut of the footage. Lousy shot choice for a trailer. I thought someone had digitally added a 'stache on her as a big ol' screw you to Lucas n Steve. Which, come on now, would be pretty funny.

    I don't expect this to be a good movie, with Shit for brains in it how could it be? That said, even if this is a BO disappointment compared to what they think it will bring in it will still kick the living shit out of TDK. Secondly, can anyone else believe these greedy bastards didn't put out a Blu-Ray box set to prime everyone before the movie and then a special edition complete set after? Get off your asses and HD this fucker already! Lastly, this could very well be the single best summer of the last decade for movies if people are finally doing their jobs right. I hold out a very slim hope though as that black hole Speed Racer is going to require a lot of goodness to make up for the coke fueled bullshit it will splash upon the screen.

    Spalko with Sword and Backup .... lazy Spielberg

    by nodiggity

    Spielberg LIKES to use crowds of faceless doofuses to add emphasis to a scene ... it's easier than eliciting a good take. Spalko can be "understated" and her sword and her henchmen can substitute for the lack of time Spielberg took to really get something out of her. All I know is, I appreciate a good scenery chewing. That's what the first Indy had. Why not have it here?

    by moto

    You're all that is wrong with the cinema experience today... at least as far as your attitude and perception. Judging a performance and the direction there of based on probably two spoken lines in trailers/30 second spots is just well, lame. Attitudes like that are why studios really don't give a shit about AICN anymore. It was different in the days of the late 90s when the internet was a wonder. Sure, they'd love to grab the geek fanbase for a couple extra million on opening weekend, but the filmmakers know that no matter what, people will bitch and complain because they didn't make the movie exactly how geeks wanted it and/or exactly how the previous installments were done.

    You CAN NOT judge a movie, and especially a performance based on minimal trailer footage. There's not as much dialog in an Indy trailer because the emphasis for marketing is the adventure aspect.

    And as far as your question as to why not have a scene as a whole, and why resort to trick editing? Where have you been? That is precisely what nearly every release trailer is and has been since the 80s and even before.

    Because the Indy franchise sells itself - everyone knows it is coming and they already know if they want to see it. Plus, Spielberg doesn't want to give anything away. From what I read they aren't even going to be doing press screenings because he is so concerned about reviews giving away the fact that the movie is about aliens.

Anyone that had the privilege of waiting in a line around the block to see Raiders of the Lost Ark absolutely KILL a jam-packed theater--most likely multiple times--is trembling with anticipation to see this flick."


    I saw those three in the theaters. I loved them all, even Doom. But, in all honesty, I have no real desire to rush out and see this one. Indy is a great character, but you need plot, dialogue and action to have a great movie. I just don't see it for IV.

    2008-A GOLDEN MOVIE YEAR???

    by solobear

    When IRON MAN opens, the summer has officially begun. And there are at least 16 movies coming out between May second and the end of August that show potential. This could be a great summer for movies, which means that it will be a great summer for movie fans. The only thing I have to bitch about so far is the high price of gas!

    WILLIAMS' SCORE

    by solobear

    The score was recorded in February I believe. I can't tell if any of it is in the trailer, butI'm waiting most anxiously for the CD on May 20. I'm hoping that someone, somewhere leaks it before then, because I am dying to hear what John Williams has conjured up for this one. Since the passing of Jerry Goldsmith, I am of the humble opinion that Maestro Williams is the only true film music master that is still operating today. I guess you could add John Barry to the list, but we haven't heard anything out of him for quite some time.

    Lucas sounded "upbeat" in EW?

    by ben_gazzara

    I read that interview. Spielberg was saying positive stuff and Lucas interrupted to say he knew exactly how things would go for this film -- everyone will hate it and talk shit about Lucas and Spielberg and say they crushed their dreams and raped their childhood. He said something like, "Trust me -- I've been through this before."

    Didn't exactly read as upbeat to me.

    Hey -- has it ever been confirmed whether or not Indy's whip is EVER CGI in the film? There was that kerfuffle a while back where one of the unions was insisting on it, and Ford was threatening to walk if it wasn't a real whip. I don't think I've ever read definite confirmation one way or the other.

    LUCAS' EW COMMENTS

    by solobear

    I can understand why George Lucas said what he did in the EW interview. In 1999, THE PHANTOM MENACE was reviled by a lot of "fans". And the same thing happened with "ATTACK OF THE CLONES and REVENGE OF THE SITH. While there are things about them that I didn't like, I was by no means disappointed by any of them. And when it comes down to it, Lucas made the films his way, told the stories that he wanted to tell, and was successful at it. You've got to respect him for that. The prequel trilogy didn't set the world ablaze the way the original trilogy did, but SO WHAT! I think that all Lucas wants is for people to enjoy the films on their own merits.

    I think he fears that the new INDY movie will suffer the same fate. Expectations can be a true curse when it comes to films. My own expectations for this film are high, and I have no doubt that I will not be let down. I guess that the key is to go into the theater to have a good time, and let the chips fall where they may. I don't expect INDIANA JONES to change the world. I just figure that It will add some more terrific memories to this fan's scrapbook.

    FILM MEDIOCRITY

    by solobear

    You wanna talk about crap, then let's!!! So far this year I have been sorely disappointed by two movies-CLOVERFIELD and JUMPER. I think they both had sound enough premises, but they were poorly executed. I've said it before and I believe that it bears repeating-seeing a bad movie every once in a while only makes you appreciate the good ones even more. And just because a movie is good doesn't automatically make it a timeless classic. But you've got to admit that both Spielberg and Lucas both have their share of films in that latter category.

    If you are really desperate for a taste, there are midi versions of the tracks from the KOTCS OST posted over at the Raven message board. You can decide how legit/close they are to the real thing.

    As for the EW interview, I felt that Lucas's comments were more playful in nature, as someone who may be conditioned to expect the worst, but has perhaps come to peace with the whole process....and who has developed a thicker skin. At any rate, his comment on the dominatrix-styling of Spalko was a hoot, at least.

    something in you died, then. I saw the "CGI pants" clip, and this one, and I'm there, no questions asked. I don't need to know anything about the plot, the dialogue, the action, the stars, the history of getting it to the screen, or anything else to make me wanna see it. I heard the swell of the music, I saw his hand reach down to pick up his hat, I saw his shadow, not even him, his mere shadow, and it immediately took me back to the first time i saw Raiders in the theaters, sitting with my two brothers, my mom, my grandmother, and a packed theater full of people having one of the greatest movie-going experiences of their lives. Seriously, come on!! You tellin me neither of these clips transport you back to that time? How bout these, then? "Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I can not take away." "There's a big snake in the plane Jacques! Oh that's just my pet snake Reggie! "I hate snakes Jacque! I hate 'em! Come on! Show a little back bone will ya?" "Bad dates" "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage." If you can't recall the experience of watching that arab dude pull out that massive sword, thinking to yourself "oh fuck, what's he gonna do now," only to clap and cheer along with 300 others when Indy nonchalantly pulls out his gun and shoots him; if you don't remember how seeing Indy get his second wind and beat that giant bald dude bloody made you feel like you could conquer the world, and if you aren't willing to have enough faith in the folks who made you feel that way when you were a kid to set aside all the garbage these naysayers are spouting for the opportunity to feel that way again (even if they don't deliver), then I feel sorry for ya.

Those are all moments when every person in the theater was one, and there is nothing like that. It is one of the few feelings that I would categorize as an ULTIMATE RUSH. As cliche as it may sound, it is truly breathtaking, and I think that there a great many who haven't had the honor of experiencing that.

    So stop saying Indy will slaughter TDK because that's just not gonna happen!! I personally think Indy is just Meh! I'm not excited because Harrison Ford is frickin old! I grew up loving the Indy films because they were epic! First of all the title is retarded, it just doesn't scream epic, it screams like a Forgotten Realms book title. And Shia Lebouf as his son, stupid. I'm not excited for this at all. On the other hand, TDK looks absolutely haunting! Batman Begins had stellar casting (except for Katie Holmes), a wonderful script and movie theme. I'm so so stoked for TDK.

    SUPERPOWERS

    by solobear

    For some strange reason, some filmmakers seem to be afraid to deal with the whole SUPERPOWERS thing. It's like they think it dumbs things down or something. Embrace the comic book origins of this stuff, don't walk in fear of it. But filmmakers need to remeber that a superpower alone does not a movie make. At the core you need a decent story, and then polish it to a fine sheen with special effects and you'll be ahead of the game.

    "The harsher, grainier look of the early 80"???

    by moto

    I think your memory stems from watching Indiana Jones on VHS all of these years. Watch the Indy DVDs and they are just as clear as this trailer. The issue is watching the trailer/TV spots on a small screen via the computer. Its not representative of what the theater experience will be.

    Spielberg is a stubborn (thankfully) supporter of shooting on film. Which I commend. People saying this new movie looks too digital (it's shot on film people) are disregarding the fact that they had watched the Indy films on shitty VHS for years. In the theaters, the Indy films looked crisp and clear, unless you were in some shitty dive theater. On DVD they are even clearer.

    Thus, don't let your memory confuse you. Spielberg and co. were adamant that they wanted this new film to have the same look and feel of the original. Complaints about the "overuse" of CG are ridiculous right now as well because thus far we've seen just a couple CG shots. But in the context of a minute long trailer.

    CG in essence will replace the terrible blue screen matting that both Temple and Crusade especially had.

    When I was young, there used to be ushers who went up and down at aisles of the theaters periodically and told people to get their feet off the seats and to be quiet. That doesn't happen much anymore, at least not around where I live. People who go to movies need to realize that they're not at home. They need to SHUT THE FUCK UP and respect those of us trying to enjoy the film. And I swear if I hear a fucking cell phone go off while I'm at INDY, I'm gonna a turn it into an electronic enema for the perpetrator. I'm sick and fucking tired of it. If you want to talk at a movie...DON'T!!! Save your money and stay home where you can talk all you want. I didn't pay for a ticket to listen to fucking idiots jack their jaws.

    CGI GRIPES

    by solobear

    The small amount of footage that we've all seen from INDIANA JONES that has CGI in it is not necessarily indicative of what is in the rest of the movie. And let's face facts, the special effects industry is now CG oriented, which isn't such a bad thing. It's made a lot of mind-boggling stuff possible. Are you one of the people who bitched about matte paintings, miniatures and blue screen spill back int eh seventies and eighties? If so, then isn't it quite possible that nothing will ever make you happy. It's the way things are. Buy it, you'll sleep better!

With respect to everyone who speaks of the film, if anyone thinks that Dark Knight or Iron Man will trump this film...it's not possible. This is Indiana Jones...and Ford is at the top of his game. This could also be Spielberg's chance to regain his glory. Raiders, to this day, is still Spielberg's greatest achievement as a director. There is no way this film can fail. No way. I watch Raiders and only Raiders, don't even go near the sequels anymore. This one FEELS right--it feels like the first true sequel to the greatest film ever made.

    by acorvey25

    I actually don't mind that line because it references the entire trilogy. Indy has a long history of getting in trouble because people won't keep their fucking hands in their pockets. I'm sure he tells everyone not to touch anything when entering an ancient temple.

    The Power of a Great Theme

    by dreamfasting

    One of the things that really stands out to me is just how powerfully that old theme stirs the blood - maybe it's something that only imprints at a certain age, but many otherwise good action movies seem to lack that really memorable march that I'll keep humming the next day. Pacing, music, iconic shots ... this is about the best 30-second ad/trailer I can remember ever seeing for a film. I really should stop reading/watching promos right now until it comes out - beyond this point, I can only get overhyped/spoiled.

    Expectations mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

    by one9deuce

    George Lucas is a very bitter and out of touch executive now. He is certainly not a filmmaker. Unless he really HAS made those "experimental" films he has talked about making since 1983. Nineteen EIGHTY THREE! The reason he hasn't made them in the last 25 years is because: he isn't a filmmaker, he is an executive. I think it's very telling to hear him say fans will be negative no matter what. That is just completely untrue. James Cameron made the most successful film of all-time, TITANIC made by far the most money ever at the box-office, and won the most Oscars ever at the Academy Awards. He hasn't directed a feature since. Has a director ever had more expectations for his next film? How do you follow that kind of success? Of course, even with the huge expectations AVATAR will knock us all on our collective asses and change the future of cinema. Pay attention George Lucas, if the film is great then the expectations before hand are irrelevent. If you make crappy films they will be treated as such. It's really not that hard to figure out.

    DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT CGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    by 2sdaychicken

    Anybody who complains
    , "There better not be too much CGI!!!", just stop. Now.

    I remember when the trailer came out and people said there was too much CGI. WHEN????
    The four 20-story-high pillers? Thats all I saw, if it was even CGI. It looked flawless, and I couldnt even tell. There is no way to work around something like that without using CGI.
    When they said they wouldnt rely on CGI, they meant they wouldnt use it WHEN THEY DIDNT NEED TO. For example, when Indy runs on the crates, cracks his whip, and swings onto the car, that was all practicle effects. 99.9% of movies today would have used a CGI Indy, CGI crates, CGI car, CGI backgrounds. This had none.
    ILM has never dissapointed with its CGI, and it is always groundbreaking and perfect. This is 2008, of course there is going to be some CGI. They arent going to use claymation.

    Just enjoy the film. It will be AMAZING!

    The prequels were reviled because they appeared in a storm of hype and were, in fact, dreadful. Ignoring this is just silly. This, on the other hand, doesn't have either Jake Lloyd, Natalie Portman, or Haydn Christiannnensnsnsnsnsenen in it, nor the presense of anodyne poorly-thought out aliens. (I hope). It also isn't directed by Lucas, so there is more chance that it won't be a monumental clusterfuck like Attack of The Clones

    Question: Why all the hate on Temple of Doom?

    by versatol

    Perhaps I smoke too much weed but Temple of Doom is by far my favorite Indy flick. Maybe this is because it was the first one I saw as a kid. I learned how to appreciate the more inciteful Raiders and Last Crusade upon watching them in later years but still think the first 25 minutes of Temple and the last 30 minutes of Temple are the most exciting scenes in the whole original trilogy. Indy is too "old Harrison" and Raiders only has its action in spurts. I love the dialogue in Raiders and Crusade but I love the "B movie action feel" of Temple. Sure there is weak character development and that blond bitch was annoying, but Short Round is great and I think it's awesome to see Indy constantly on the run, liberating hundreds of enslaved kids, and doing so many unselfish and admirable acts (he doesn't fuck the horny chick when he has the chance, stays behind to save Shorty rather then duck under the closing stone wall, stops a slave driver from beating a child, etc.) ... plus dude kills like 80 people in the end and then gives the spoils to the village. I think the closing scene with the indigenous kids celebrating around their liberator is perfect. And did I mention that the mine chase over the lava pits is still unmatched. It is pure cinematic ulta-sensation sheep skin condom inercourse... and I have no problem with that. Does ANYbody think Temple is near the top as well?

    MOTO

    by supersneaky

    Moto, my memories of the 'look' of these films doesn't stem from watching them too many times on VHS in the 80's, but rather enjoying them regularly on my HD Television via the up-scaling function on my DVD player. My problem is with Kaminski, and his relationship with light and glass. The Lost World, A.I. and Minority Report are prime examples of his sterile, clinical, soulless style, with his other efforts in the last 10 years only backing up my case. It's a real shame, because his work on Schindler's List was absolutely electrifying, enough so to make him The Berg's DP of choice from that day on. I thought we may have been in luck given the way Munich turned out (gritty, 70's, tough, had that rough and ready French Connection feel to the way it was shot) but alas, no, be back to shooting under laboratory conditions again. A real shame. Douglas Slocombe may not be gone just yet, but he'll certainly be spinning in his nursing home. For shame Steven! For shame!

    by rbatty024

    are wildly off base. First of all, the films aren't even coming out around the same time so comparing them is a little ridiculous. However, if you are going to compare box office then Indiana Jones will probably win. It was voted the most anticipated film of the Summer on Fandango which bodes well. It is also lighter in tone which will attract a larger age range and audience. It will also make for better repeat business.

    Mind you, I am not judging the quality of either film. For all I know TDK will be a classic and Indiana Jones will be a suckfest. Personally, I'm looking forward to both. I'm merely discussing the box office possibilities.

    For my two cents, I don't care which wins at the box office, Indy or TDK. But if you're asking me to pick one, I'll go with Indy. He's been gone for almost twenty years and there's a lot of pent-up demand for his return. Whereas with Batman, he's been around in five movies since 1989, and thanks to Joel Schumaker, there were some forgettable outings. Plus, there's the simple fact that Indy will appeal to a broader audience. Myself for example, I'm taking the kids to Indy. Batman's too dark for kids.

    I for one don't think Temple of Doom sucked. Yes, it's darker in tone, and yes, there are "missteps" like with Willie screaming all the time and the movie being full of children and their antics. I suspect Steve wanted to incorporate more of the traditional serial adventure aspects of the "damsel in distress." Because Marion was certainly not that. Sure, the bad guys caught her (at least twice), but she was a tough chick who didn't take any shit. I guess they wanted Doom's "damsel" to contrast that. Which meant being more of a stereotypical hysterical woman in peril. But Doom itself was okay. Mola Ram was a cool bad guy, and visually he presaged Darth Maul. A couple of the stunt sequences (mine car, parachute life raft) were WAY over the top, but hey, I'm there for the ride.

    Yeah, I worried a little when I first saw the trailer and glimpsed the obvious CGI stuff, like the car chase along the cliffside. But I'm hoping that in the context of the bigger film, these sequences will pass quickly enough to not "break the spell" so to speak. Because I'm sure most of us, myself included, are checking out these trailers with vary critical eyes precisely because we have no idea what to expect, and because we care about the franchise and want it treated properly, storywise and cinematically / FX-wise. Lest there be a pencil jihad.

    "be better"

    by abominable snowcone

    Judging what's "better" is SO subjective. Too many of a person's own tastes, expectations and cinematic whims come into play. It helps though, to consider these criteria in the aggregate. That's why I find rottentomatoes "fresh" ratings to be useful. I can say THIS, I'll probably really enjoy both movies, but Indy is the DVD that will warrant more repeat viewings at home. I'm guessing that like the other films in the trilogy, it'll just be more "fun." I agree with your BO prediction though, Proman. I'll probably see Indy at least twice in the theatre, once with my brother and at least once with my kids. Batman I'll probably check out only once, unless it's super-crazy good and blows my mind. Which I haven't ruled out.

    Yeah I'm really pumped about this Summer. With so many geek oriented films coming out this Summer I'm wondering why everyone is complaining. This is looking like it will be the best year for genre films since the eighties.

    What I find absolutely amazing about the new Indy, and few people have mentioned this, is that a high profile film with an older man is actually paired with a love interest his own age. You just don't see this anymore. Does anyone remember Entrapment? I never saw it but the previews implied a romance between the skeleton of Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta Jones. Granted, that's not too far off from Katherine's actual love life, but it creeped me out nonetheless.

    Most of the choices I've seen so far about the new Indy have been positive. Bringing back Marion and letting Indiana Jones age are great ideas. They easily trump the choices I'm a little worried about (i.e. the alien connection). It truly is a great time to be a geek.

    I would like to bring Erin to Iron Man

    by abominable snowcone

    But get this. My wife and I are having a dispute of sorts lately about the types of movies I've let my daughter see. My wife thinks I'm pushing it too far, letting our nine year old see some stuff that might not be appropriate. And really, it's all MICHAEL BAY's fault. Seriously. And I'll tell you why. Remember that brief comedic scene in transformers where Shia's mom asks if he's masturbating? Yep. That's the scene that caused a ruckus at Abom's house.
    Mind you, I took my daughter to see Transformers at the show. That particular scene passed quickly enough so that my daughter didn't ask about it. And both of us otherwise enjoyed the movie. But now that we have it on DVD at home, and she's seen it a couple times, Erin has asked what "masta-vating" means. And my wife has taken me to task for it. We've danced around the birds-and-bees talk with our daughter, because she's not quite ready for that. And I've defended myself by saying that movies like Transformers IS in fact okay for a nine year old. But it's unfortunate that in today's culture, a moviemaker like Bay thinks he needs to "hip" it up with a needless joke about jerking off. So now my wife is suspect about the content of upcoming movies like Iron Man. The commercial shows Tony and Pepper on top of each other making out. If that's the most risque the movies gets, I think my kid can handle it. But as you know, you can't promise to your spouse what content a movie will have when you haven't actually seen the movie. The best you can do is check the movie out yourself first.
    So DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY and your needless masturbation joke. Yeah, I chuckled, but you HAD to know your target audience was youngsters who might not get it, and thus might ask mom and dad about it. DAMN YOU!!

    Yesterday's PG is today's R

    by abominable snowcone

    Consider this: A movie about a giant shark eating people. The movie features a girl being violently jerked about in the water till she dies, a boy being mauled on a raft, a severed leg, an eye popping out of a guy's dead head, and a surly sailor being bitten nearly in half and spewing blood everywhere. That was JAWS in 1975, and it was PG. Today, even with nary a "fuck" uttered in it, I'm guessing it would be R.
    So, based on the earlier Indy movies, I'm guessing I can take my nine-year old in blindly to see the new Indy Jones movie. But I might have to see Iron Man for myself first. What's it rated? PG or PG-13? "Parental Guidance" as a rating doesn't really help parents much on its face, because in order to be informed and exercise that guidance, you've got to see the movie first. Otherwise, you just don't know, unless you've got something to base your judgement on, like earlier movies in a given franchise.

    The funny thing is, I'd completely forgotten about the "masturbation joke" in the movie. So when I heard my daughter asking about the word, I immediately assumed she'd heard about it at school. When we gently goaded her into revealing where she heard it, she said "Transformers." And I was like, "Oh shit" because I knew she was right, and suddenly I was in hot water with the missus about the kind of trash I was letting my daughter see. Hey, I'm not gonna argue the artistic merits of transformers--we just went for the good time. But I guess I was unwilling to let a dumb jerkoff joke ruin what is otherwise a fun, adventurous movie for older kids. But yeah, I'm more cautious these days.

    The fact that you're even concerned about what your kid watches means you're doing a fine job. I used to substitute teach and you would be surprised at the stuff parents let their third graders watch (South Park The Movie and The Bride of Chucky).

    Thinking back to my childhood, lots of the movies I watched were over my head and I don't think it was much of a problem. I'm not talking R-rated films, I'm referring to E.T. (I think the word douchebag is used but I could be wrong), Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, and the like. I remember asking lots of questions about Look Who's Talking (I didn't realize at the time women could have kids without being married). I don't think any of these films had a negative effect on me.

    I will say my parents didn't let watch R-rated films that weren't prescreened by them. And then only if they were important films like Dances With Wolves. So there is a happy medium. Kids like to feel a little grown up, which is good, but at the same time you don't want to take away their childhood by filling their head with too much adult crap. A while back there was an article in the New York Times about the value of letting your kids watch films with adult themes (not slasher films or anything like that) because it could provoke important conversations and get them to appreciate art. I tend to subscribe to this belief.

    I appreciate your thoughts on that. Because despite the awkwardness of my daughter hearing the word "masturbate" in a movie and asking about it, the fact is I know full well that my wife and I can't be more than a year or so away from having the "sit-down" talk with her.
    My parents were overprotective as far as movies went. Probably a little too much so. Remember the movie "One Dark Night?" Probably not. It was a dumb horror movie about teens spending the night in a crypt. Came out in like '82 or so. Anyway, I recall at school that ALL the kids were going to see that movie. I couldn't go because my parents wouldn't let me. It was a PG movie, and I was at least eleven years old, but they gave me the veto based simply on the theme of the movie, which I guess they'd discerned from a TV ad.
    It does get to be a tough, dicey job. Even GREAT GREAT movies like Rocky will drop a "screw you creepo" in there. I guess what it comes down to is, your parenting skills in all other secular areas of life come into play, because if your kid is raised well enough, they should be able to recognize a taboo / slang word or topic, even when it hits them for the first time, and afterwards I guess you have an intellectual discussion about it.
    And then, bring on the GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS!!

    by rbatty024

    I spent many years working at troubled schools or with troubled kids, and after a while it gets depressing. Good parents make me that much more optimistic about the world. Godspeed Abominable. I have to go get actual work done. I am shocked and amazed that a real conversation occurred in an Indiana Jones talkback. What's the world coming to?

    Why does it have to be...

    by rando calrisian

    Dark Knight will OWN Indy, or Iron Man will kick Indy's ass. Can all you whiners get over yourselves and just enjoy the fact that some possibly great summer movies are about to arrive? They all look killer to me.


    Possibly the best movie summer since the last Indy movie came out nearly 20 years ago.


    Indy looks amazingly like Indy here. I'll be there opening day, and I will have fun. Even if it isn't a perfect movie, it's going to be entertaining as hell. Anyone thinking that Lucas and Spielberg set out to make a bad movie are freakin' idiots.


    Just keep telling yourselves its going to be crap so you can be pleasantly surprised when its good. You all seem so desperate to block yourselves from Prequel Pain. It is just a movie, damn it!


    Seems it doesn't matter how good or bad this movie turns out, a lot of you will bitch and moan anyway. Are you really that bitter and jaded?


    Whine about Harry gushing about movies all you want, but at least he LOVES movies. Pretty much all movies. So many of you just have no love for the theater going experience, and that what Indy is all about - the love of the CINEMA experience and seeing a fun movie with a bunch of people who want to be there.


    If you are just going to whine about this movie, I think I speak for everony that is excited about the potential of Speilberg, Lucas, and Ford having FUN, STAY THE FUCK HOME!

    Raiders and the New Generation

    by rando calrisian

    I had a firend over with her 11 year old daughter, and we watched Raiders. I was 11 when I saw Raiders for the first time in the theater, and it was pretty much an eye opening event for me.


    This 11 year old had never even heard on Indiana Jones. She has grown up on Transformers, and the much more quickly paced fast cutting movies of today, and while she liked the action - I think she was a little bored by the moments in Raiders that I think are so incredible - the queit moments that tell the "story".


    Kinda sad. I just hope that this new Indy will inspire younguns to watch these "old" movies that we call classics.


    Guess I'm just an ol' Fogie now, but I prefer the long shots and scene setting pacing to quick cuts and empty FX. I hope Spielberg is on the top of his game here, and can show people how it is done.


    I have faith in The Beard. Seems many here have lost that faith. Also sad...

    I seem to have skewed the talkback into talk about kids, and what parents are going through. Cool... Personally, I think I might try an experiment and only show my kids black and white films for the first 8 years of their lives. Then shock their system with The Wizard of Oz.


    I think it is a shame that a lot of the classic characters that were classic when I was growing up aren't even known by the younguns today. I remember staying home and watching Popeye, and Tom and Jerry cartoons, the "real" Looney Toons and classic 50's cheese like Buck Rogers, and Leave It To Beaver. There is a lot of history in those old shows. When I watch cartoons today they seem so joy-less, and mean spirited.


    And what is with the hate for Walt Disney? The man was a true visionary genius. He single handedly changed entertainment in our world. Disney was a risk taker like none other in his time or ours. The man was and is the voice behind some truly incledible film. Just watch some of these recent "Walt Disney Treasures" DVDs - they are amazing.


    Do you believe the world would be a better place without Disney? They may have become a retched business since his passing, but he had morals, standards, and class; and I owe a lot in my life, and my joy of film to his imagination.

    I certainly didn't root for roadrunner. Where the fuck was he running to, anyway, in such a hurry? It was not fair that Coyote could chase RR off a cliff, and RR would just stop right there, levitating in midair, perhaps letting out a taunting "Bleep-bleep" as Coyote plummetted to yet another death. Die, roadrunner, die

    where Wile E. had given up eating RR and simply just wanted to KILL him? Because when you drop a piano on a bird from off a cliff, or catapault a 55 gallon drum of gunpowder at it, there's not gonna be much left to snack on. Either way, Coyote should have used more ball bearing and duct tape

    Roadrunner was just like Vigo

    by abominable snowcone

    from Ghostbusters 2 in that regard. Very frustrating. Coyote would put a matte painting of a tunnel opening up in front of a solid rockface, and RR would just dart right through the tunnel. Naturally, coyote would try to follow and sustain massive blunt force trauma from an oncoming train that magically appeared in said matte. It wasn't right

    by abominable snowcone

    predates Indy Jones by almost 100 years, in fiction anyway. But in print Alan was not portrayed as a notably dashing guy. Rather, on screen he'd look more like the hunter from Jumanji. It wasn't until Indy Jones that Alan Quartermain was given a bigscreen "facelift" with Richard Chamberlain playing a more likeable version of the (anti) hero. That said, Jones would hand him his ass every time.

    I'm dubious about IM> Rreading Mori's review gave me a bit of hope for it, but my expectations are still pretty humble for it, overall. BUT, if the movie's good afterall, I've lost nothing. If it turns out to be disappointing, it probably only makes Indy look even better when I see it since my most recent movie-going experience will have been "less than impressive".

I liked her a lot in Duets, but there's a part where she sings onstage, and she looks so skinny and her emaciated hip bones are jutting out. But that was a few years ago, and she looks quite good in the Iron Man trailer. So when Gwen is done cleaning up in your yard, FedEx her my way if you would
    If Indy does something to Mutt in this movie as far as symbolically passing the baton, I might puke.

The expectations for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK were as high as any movie has ever faced, and the film delivered. The expectations for the Prequel Trilogy were also that high, but they didn't deliver. It's not rocket science. And yes, AVATAR will change cinema forever. You have no idea what you're in for. I'll be looking forward to saying "I told you so".

    But I watched the majesty of DEATHSTALKER last night. Truly, truly dreadful in all the right ways. Jarv's review: Deathstalker is one of the maligned 80's sword and sandals nonsense movies. However, unlike Beastmaster or Hawk the Slayer or many other pf this Genre, Dethstalker lacked even the slightest semblance of a plot. I would like to spoil this masterpiece of cheese, but feel that this would be impossible- just watch out for truly dire special effects, terrible acting, gratuitous sex and boobs, pigmen, a sorecerous villain without a clue, plan or purpose (and a tattoo that kept shifting sides of his head), a sex changing henchman that deathstalker tries to fuck, and a climax that just leaves you asking what? Simply magnificent- get some beers and prepare to chuckle.

Make sure you watch out for the moving tattoo. Stupidity and sloppy filming at it's finest.

And they had so many great ideas that they just didn't follow through with- King: Go and rescue my daughter DS: No. I'm not stupid King: But you're a heroDS: A hero and a fool are the same thingThen he rides off. But inexplicably, later in the film he starts to actually try to rescue the princess. The whole film is full of knuckle-headed continuity gaps like this. It's great.

I guess what I'm saying is I have faith that Downey brought all the necessary elements to Tony Stark's character. Plus, being closer to 40 than 30, I can relate more to Downey's "adult" superhero and adult problems. Not, ohmygod, will I ever get the girl?

    AICN inhabitants (dons David Attenborough Hat)

    by lost jarv

    at the fringes there are several sub-categories of troll: 1) Pointy Heads- Nodiggity and Ringwearer9 are prime examples of this- they have some form of rudimentary intelligence but completely waste it with anorak level obsessiveness over minutiae. They also make things worse by refusing to give an inch on any of their frankly ludicrous points. 2) Psychopaths. There are several inhabitants of the AICN jungle that definately qualify for care in the community. They represent Top Predator in the troll ecosystem. 2true (despite divine status) and Queefer being two notable members. Again, they have some rudimentary intelligence but their serious personality issues mean that not only is violence the first option it's the only option. The mistake they make is that they make their death threats over an anonymous medium and are probably fat, spotty gimboids that couldn't fight sleep 3)Offensive names- Dannyglover or I kick Tits are examples of this. Age= 13, sense of humour= nonexistant. They seem to think that picking a grossly offensive username is funny. It isn't. No intelligence to speak of, and lack any redeeming features whatsoever. 4)Die-hard haters. I am Batman, Underoos. No matter how fucking good something is these cretins automatically despise it. And their reasons for hatred are so utterly arbitrary. They have similar problems to pointy-heads in that they will never admit somethings, but have a far greaty propensity to resort to insults and sulking. 5)Conspiracy freaks. Too many of these to mention but homewrecker is a great example. Completely bat shit insane. Lock themselves in a trailer butt naked apart from a tinfoil hat. Thankfully they only turn up to argue stupidly over 9/11.Evil, loathsome bastards. And yes, it is pretty obvious I'm thinking of Animalstructure. A truly repellent bottom feeding breed of troll. HAve some high intelligence which allows them to perform the most staggering mental gymnastics ans justify some of the most nauseating opinions in TB history.

USS Cygnus is a good example. 8)Common or garden troll. Spotted in every TB. Completely harmless. Only seeking attention. Will go away if ignored.

    It was originally about Queef as messenger for the gods and now it is the book of revalation where the angry angel turns against the trinity. It's a collection of some of Queefer's more batshit moments and a fight. I'm quite pleased with it, but it needs a bit of pruning.

Braffed has opinions but is too scared to venture them after the absoute kicking he got in the obit TB's.I didn't think it would be that easy though. I was simply flabberghasted. He must have been ready to give up. Interestingly, he hasn't resurfaced since then, which leads me to believe he had no interest in film whatsoever.

    kotc toy spoilers

    by el borak

    most we already know but here goes. spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Kidnapped by Russian agents, Indy is taken to Hanger 51, the U.S. government’s top-secret military installation, where he is forced to help search for a mysterious artifact that can unleash incredible psychic powers. But using his whip and his wits, Indy fights his way to freedom, determined to keep the mysterious artifact out of Soviet hands.

    In this quest to uncover the secrets of the Crystal Skull, Indiana Jones races against the evil Irina Spalko. With the help of the young and rebellious Mutt Williams, Indy destroys much of the Russian forces and takes the rest on a deadly chase through the Peruvian jungle, leading to a final confrontation at the Lost Temple of Akator.

    In an ancient conquistador’s tomb, Indiana Jones and Mutt Williams uncover a clue to the secret of the crystal skull, only to be ambushed by a trio of skull-faced warriors. Intent on protecting the lost Temple of Akator, the warriors battle with poison darts, aiming to make Indy and Mutt permanent residents of the ancient cemetery.

    As the Soviet Union’s foremost expert on psychic powers, Spalko’s understanding of the untapped potential of the human mind is matched only by her skill with a sword. Beautiful, cunning and ruthless, Spalko leads a secret force of Russian commandos on a mission to find the Crystal Skull and harness its power in order to achieve Soviet domination.

    As the Russians plow their way deeper into the jungle, the local wildlife gets stranger and stranger, influenced by the ancient energies flowing from the lost city of Akator. Alerted by panicked shouts from elsewhere in the column, Dovchenko turns to find himself surrounded by giant fire ants. He must fight his way free, or be painfully consumed by the immense insects! Pose the weapon in his hands to stage him in a showdown against the giant fire ants!

    Preferring his motorcycle to his classical education, his switchblade to a school uniform, Mutt Williams never much cared for prep school life. But when he makes an enemy of the sinister Irena Spalko, a Russian commando and sword-master, his years of fencing lessons pay off. Deep in the Peruvian jungle, they match swords and tactics with ruthless precision, neither one prepared to accept any outcome but victory.

    Deep in the Peruvian jungle, Mutt and Indiana Jones attempt to escape the Russian soldiers holding them prisoner, but find that the jungle holds dangers of its own. The pair must brave quicksand, snakes, and terrifying giant insects before they can make their way to their final destination: the Lost Temple of Akator.

    With this leather jacket and switchblade, few would suspect that Mutt Williams has a classical education worthy of an ivy-league graduate. But when he finds himself caught up in the quest for the Crystal Skull, Mutt must draw on all his resources – including his fencing skills – when he crosses blades with the deadly Irina Spalko.

    Serving under Colonel Dovchenko, these Russian commandos were hand-picked for their combat experience and unswerving dedication to the Soviet Union. From the Nevada desert to the jungles of Peru, these veteran soldiers stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

    For thousands of years, these warriors have protected the Lost Temple of Akator from all outsiders. Though armed only with the most primitive weapons, their savagery in battle and knowledge of the Hidden City make them the fearsome opponents for any adventurer who dares uncover the secrets of the Crystal Skull.

    In reckless pursuit of the lost city of Akator, a Russian convoy uses the Jungle Cutter to hack through the dense Amazon jungle, careless of the wreckage they leave in their wake. Despite seeming indestructible, the Jungle Cutter is eventually destroyed by Indy with one well-placed shot from a rocket-powered grenade.

    Swing into action-packed excitement as you stage your own Indiana Jones adventures and discover the dangers of Akator! Navigate the Indy and Ugha Warrior figures through the scaled-down temple as seen in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie. Help Indy “blast” his way into the temple through the breakaway door, dodge deadly boulders and escape the “quicksand”! Swing past danger on the tree and help Indy climb his way to the top of the ancient, “vine”-covered sanctuary as he thwarts off the evil Ugha Warrior! Find the treasure and help Indy escape down secret steps.

    spoilers over............

    I compliment your highly amusing and insightful breakdown of trolldom and psychotics here on AICN. What I have observed, during my first few weeks here, is that some of the more extreme voices, be they left leaning or right ward, tend to drive the TB's in fascinating and hysterical - and I mean that in both the classical psychotic derivation, as well as the colloquial humorous interpretation -intentional or otherwise, directions. It seems that the longer lasting TB's are when the looney emerge, and it becomes a pile-on to see who can layeth the smacketh down the most.
    This is especially so with regard to the political TB's. Actually, quite a few of the TB's turn political even when the subjects are seemingly politically neutral.
    I know, I find myself drawn to the political as well, because I enjoy a good stimulating debate - ok, I know this is AICN and it can be like trawling through 100 foot deep sewage to find a 1/4 carat diamond, before you are likely to stumble onto someone who does not immediately insult the ancestry of your grandmother, your second cousin, and your dog, all in the same breath. But still, even when the looney's and the truly scary trolls emerge from their caves, and start frothing, it makes for some funny reading!

    " vote to keep them, because I am only starting to read CHUD, and like the board, but I believe it needs MORE to attract readers, not LESS. Your big competition is from AINTITCOOL.NEWS, and they have fabulous talkbacks, and their talkbacks bring in a nice percentage of their hits. And guess what ... most of the main writers on that board HATE the talkbacks, HATE the Talkbackers. Just because it may bring in elements that annoy or upset the main article writers does NOT mean that it isn't entertaining for readers, and that it is NOT generating hits on the site. I've been reading the amazing "You Got it All Wrong" lists, which are a FANTASTIC effort, really, FANTASTIC, and, yes, a lot of the reactions in the talkbacks were negative, stupid, uninformed, but still INTERESTING. It's an added entertainment to see people react to articles, even if they are boneheaded, stupid, insulting. This means Added interest in your site. Write great articles, and let the Talkbackers do their thing. Don't be so afraid of being "undermined" in the eyes of the Film Industry that you kill the goose that lays the golden egg ... hits on your site. The more people who hit the site, whether they enjoy and appreciate your articles, or enjoy and appreciate the obnoxiousness of the Talkbackers, the more your articles and your site's importance is increased. There is a REASON that Aintitcool.com has not eliminated Talkbacks after all the years of abuse they've suffered from them, and it isn't just kind-hearted tolerance (though some would definitely like to eliminate them totally because their poor little feelings get hurt too easily). Their Talkbacks increase hits on their site. I say, if it's about what's good for the site, KEEP the Talkbacks. Ignore the advice of the person in the Film Industry who tells you to get rid of them. The fact that he brought it up at all, was annoyed, means something about them aroused him enough to say something. Got him to respond, participate. You WANT that, not the reverse, not placid, non-caring, non-visiting. Do what AINTICOOL did, have a registering option for Talkback. Talkback allows immediate response. Your Forums are unwieldy and difficult to navigate, and don't give the satisfaction of being able to respond quickly to the topic of the moment. AINTITCOOL's version of your Forums do NOT do as well as the Talkbacks. Don't bite off your nose to spite your face. And don't base it on a poll. Of course the regular users are going to vote against something that brings in new users (even if many are annoying) because they think of it as their own little club, and hate the idea of noisy invaders graffitiing on "their" walls. The current users will vote against the site's best interests in order to maintain their own sense of security. Ignore them.

    Also, Do fall out of love with the green on black scheme, and the super small article headings around the borders of the site. If you want your site to be successful, peole need to be able to READ it. God damn, this is one of the hardest sites on the eyes."

To see Diggers defend the forum, and he's been at fault for at least three of the recent battles is heartening.

    getting banned

    by lost jarv

    is surprisingly easy. Basically, if you are a dick you will get banned. However, some moderators/ sections have higher tolerance levels than others. Provided you avoid bigotry you can pretty much get away with anything with Harry, Massawyrm, Vern, etc. Mori is a bit more tetchy, and Hercules has PMS. If you are bigoted then that's it- you are done. However, you can be a trollish fucktard for absolutely ages before you get the ban hammer. Memories of Murder was a complete bastard for about 6 months (he became my pet kicking toy) and eventually got the smack for driving every other user potty. I lost 1 ID for being rude to Hercules about Big Brother and I lost 1 ID in the Zfisk wars.

    you get a douche like braffed was (all his worst-offender incarnations) or Gabriel Gray who just spam the shit out of a TB with vulgar inanities and in those instances, I don't think it's bad to at leats bring it to the attention of the "powers that be". I'm not saying to run to then as soon as one of those gusy pops up They pop up everyday, but when they do it in multiple talkbacks for days in a row, something should be done.

    And, I'd be lying if I said one of the reasons I still come back to AICN is for the occassionally spectactular train wrecks.

    by finky089

    this one has some good laughs
    http://tinyurl.com/4eos73 Not sure if this is the one you were thinking of Xi. try a google search with this in the search box and see if you can find the one you're thinking of site:www.aintitcool.com "suit and tie" (the only spaces in that should be between .com and " and "suit and "tie")

    Xiphos, i just finished watcihng Lost season 1

    by finky089

    popped my Lost cherry over the last few weeks. I really dug it, but wonder if it really gets any better from here on out? I've heard/read alot of comments on the future seasons and while i really like the unpredictable nature of the show, it seems like it just keeps getting increasingly outlandish just to outdo itself. What's your take on the progression of the show, post-Season 1?

    I got no beef with you personally, but Suit & Tie's rants are some of the most amusing stuff I've seen on here in a while.

    Xiphos

    by finky089

    consider it honorary, then. Didn't realize for some reason you were still serving - my bad. Very sorry you'll be deploying again and missing the summer movie season (cuz, it's SO important!), but then, that is part of your duty and I'm guessing if movies became a higher priority than serving your country, well, this country'd be completely fucked even more than it is right now. I salute thee. Enjoy your weekend. See you around the TBs next week.

    Gotham likes to go to Catholic priest conventions wearing a short skirt, thigh high stockings, no panties and the Irish I Were Drunk busted tee. It's not a lifestyle I condone but to each his own, my little slow bus buttwhoring glory hole princess.
