Lucas Talks INDY 5!!
Merrick here...
George Lucas spoke to Fox news while in Cannes; the subject of a post CRYSTAL SKULL Indy project came up.
"I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.
"And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me."
...says THIS ARTICLE at FoxNews.

Bring on the Ewoks in Indy V!
-
...only goes so far... or does it?
-
Just shows how out of touch with real storytelling Lucas is.
-
like river did
ITS AN OMEN -
That they would be considering this route since Shia seems to be in the spotlight these days. Of course, I don't mind it. I'd rather they stick with someone like that. As opposed to someone like Ashton Kutcher or something.
Ugh!!! -
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...ad infinitum...
-
Shia sucks. He doesn;t have the fucking pulling power to lead a franchise. Especially not Indiana Fucking Jones.
-
Sound like an LSD laden lackluster blockbuster set in the 1960s....enjoy it while you can Lucas.
-
Dude, where's my artifact?
-
I hope you guys at AICN are aware of the buzz that that negative review of Indy 4 is getting. It's all over the internets. (Oh, what am I saying, of course you know know about it.)
Anyway, I hope that little review doesn't color all of the discussion of Indy 4. Tomorrow is the Cannes premier, and we all know just how cynical the Cannes snobs like to be in regards to movies.
I figure the film is going to be pretty good. Indy is a hard character to screw up, and Spielberg is a great director. He's gone 3 for 3 with the Indy moves. I'm sure he'll go 4 for 4.
Anyway, it would be a shame if all people hear about now is the 1 lousy review from some bitter studio exec.
-
Seriously...
-
HOURS ago on another talkback.*yawn*
-
I don't want #4 to be just a baton pass. I'm paying to see Indy.
If the kid works out, that's one thing, but don't make it about him.
I hope he didn't make this on the assumption we're going to want to see more of the kid. -
Mutt Williams is just plain awful. Just doesn't work for me. No magic. Sorry George.
-
I mean, come on now. I don't mind the guy in a certain role, but a hard-bitten, grizzled adventurer he was not born to play. It would ruin the tone and feel of the franchise to have him as a lead in a new Indy film. I think George is just thinking out loud with this one.
-
Shia is a great actor and if he does as good a job in this film as he's done in his other films, I'll be all for an Indy 5. I think he can pull off being an action star if given the chance.
-
He has access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, he went insane.
-
Just more evidence that the man is out of touch. No one wants to see the Indy mantle taken over by anyone else. Let it rest, man.
-
Like when he wore his Han shoots first T-shirt when he was on the Indy4 set!
Spielberg/Ford would never agree to this focus on Mutt. Lucas can just toss it out there at some Cannes party then watch how quickly this news spreads then forget about it and move on (unlike the fanboys who will take this as 100% true and claim it has raped their childhoods again!!!). -
That is all.
-
It's like all the talkbackers worst fears and jokes come true. I think Lucas is just talking outloud with this one. I'm not even into the shia hate but it's clear that nobody would be interested in Mutt Jones and the temple of etc.
-
...when he made that comment pecker heads. He was totally kidding.

i fucking knew it! and you know whats coming next...
by lamontshadow2010
as soon as i heard that indy had a son i knew lucas was going to try to pull this shit! well screw him. im not wasting money at the cinema for crystal skull.no money anymore for lucas ever! oh and you know whats next dont you? digitally replacing indy with shia for the original trilogy!
-
Yeah, because so many of Lucas's other tongue in cheek moments HAVEN'T made it to the big screen. Ass.
-
So is Indy 4 like the last episode of Doctor Who? One big advertisement for a spin off series nobody really wants. How much more money does Georgie Boy want. Viddy well little brother, viddy well.
-
Not a good idead George. Leave it be.
-
Lucas has got a point!
-
...his ideas for Star Wars 7-9. Just shut the fuck up and go away George.
-
As soon as "Indy's son" became a plotline, who didn't think Lucas would be thinking of this?
-
...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
-
indy is the one and only important character in this franchise.
../all comments here so far should be enough for george to drop this foolish idea.
There's a reason he didnt say it to Harrison or Steve. -
Lucas really knows how to cast the worst people to make the worst possible film imaginable. I guess we should just be happy he hadn't discovered Shitey the Beef when he was casting for Anakin...
-
The name of Shia's character is Mutt Williams. It isn't John Smith or Steve Johnson or something plain, it's a name that sounds like a movie character. And it's the exact same formula they used for Indiana Jones' name. Dog based first name, common American last name. It isn't coincidence. Not to mention the fact that KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL is set in the 50's and has a whole new type of genre influence: Sci-Fi. Right now they have an actor who is young, his career is on fire, and they could start a whole new franchise with him. MUTT WILLIAMS AND THE (INSERT 50's SCI-FI SOUNDING TITLE) STAR WARS is dead. At least until Lucasfilm makes a sequel trilogy in 10 to 15 years with or without George. INDIANA JONES is as good as dead. Harrison Ford is 65 years old, and he IS Indiana Jones. George Lucas LOVES Sci-Fi from the 1950's. Why wouldn't he do this? He sure as hell isn't going to make his "art films" anytime soon. Or ever for that matter.
-
Yeah, I remember that. But really, didn't we expect this to happen all along? Mutt Williams: The Adventure Begins
-
because he's old.
I don't really know anything about this Shia kid, but I saw him on Letterman the other night. And his explanation for his Walgreens arrest was really hilarious. So that Shia movie sounds like a better idea than this one. -
before he dies he is going to destroy his creations
-
I'll bet he wants to go back and insert Shia's face digitally over River Phoenix in the intro sequence to Indy 3...
-
I enjoy how he loves to screw with fan-boys. It shows he sees the ridiculousness of taking these movies so seriously.
-
I believe George went bat shit crazy years ago.
-
I've have an idea, that just came to me after setting up the new movie with a built in sustainable franchise by giving Indy a Son. I hate this, it confirms all the alarm bells that Indy 4 has rung.
-
HArrison Ford is the only one that can be indiana jones.
-
Does anyone know what the deal is with rights to Star Wars? Has Lucas mentioned whether or not the rights will die with him or is he planning on passing the rubber stamp off to someone else. Because you gotta think after he's gone someone is going to say, "OK, time to make the post-quels and let's use the Timothy Zahn material because that shit kicked ass."
-
He's got to be f'ing with people.
I honestly sont see why people have such a problem with this kid? -
This sounds exactly like something he would come up with. Remember a long time ago when he said he was going to make a Star Wars movie called Attack of the Clones? People thought that had to be a joke too.
-
I feel kind of sorry for the guy.
-
What guy are you talking about?
-
Then George Lucas Raped our Childhood! http://tinyurl.com/5u3wz8
-
"scorn from fanatics" I guess that us.
-
Lucas
-
...as being a great young actor or something. He is ok, but nothing special and has limited range. I know, he reminds you of yourself because he's a "regular guy" blah, blah. What tools.
-
I've wondered that too. The safe bet is that his daughters will inherit them. What they'll do with the rights is anyone's guess, but you can bet the ethanol farm that as soon as the bearded one dies, Hollywood's gonna come a 'knocking with project ideas galore. Considering how controlling Lucas is with his baby, though, it really wouldn't surprise me if he has artistic control guidelines for Star Wars written into his will in some way.
-
dont expect too much of indy 4. blahblahblah.
-
In 'Shape of Things to Come,' do you guys remember the scene when Locke pulled the gun on Sawyer? And Sawyer asked, "Have you lost your mind?"
Yeah, that's me. -
So he could watch you idiots go nuts. He probably sits back and laughs that you actually sweat bullshit like this.
-
Between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
GL: Steve, I've got a great idea. Let's call it a career, and just dine out doing endless sequels of our greatest films.
SS: George, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I don't know about you, but I know I've still got a little creative juice left in the tank.
Long pause. Lucas takes a long draw on his cohiba and stares out over the water.
JL: Fuck it then. You do what you want. I'll just squeeze every last penny I can out of those fanboy douchebags before my goiter explodes.
They nod silently in agreement, enjoying the ocean. Then
JL: Where's the nearest titty bar?
SS: How the hell should I know? -
Don't. He owns a business worth 60 billion dollars and that's billion with a B. That doesn't even include ILM
-
Feel bad for little Suburb Shia.
-
Remo Williams!
-
at least we know they don't kill'im off in this one.
-
A sandwich. For me. With serrano ham, gruyere cheese, olive spread and crisp veggies. And some sort of fancy mayo.
-
"it really wouldn't surprise me if he has artistic control guidelines for Star Wars written into his will in some way." Yeah, I think he's just crazy enough to do something like that. Seriously.
-
wow he really really REALLY is out of touch with reality. Who was it that said in an interview recently about Lucas that regarding Star Wars, he really doesn't realize the magnitude to which the franchise is loved. Or something to that affect. Was it Spielberg?
-
I hope George Lucas dies clutching the rights to Star Wars in his greedy little fingers. I don't really want any more Star Wars, the last three already wore out their welcome. When does Star Wars become public domain anyway?
-
Fuck that shit, the films are called INDIANA JONES, not Mutt Williams!
What will the fifth movie be called, Mutt Williams and the Flavor of the Week!
Why not bring back Short Round for the 6th movie? -
Maybe you can get Ron Howard to direct? If he doesn't die laughing.
-
...about the same Time John McCain wants us to leave Iraq.
-
Don't give him any ideas for Christ's sake!
-
Greedo shooting first. Awesome I've found a context where that phrase actually works.
-
Brilliant.If Lucas has creative control written into his will, that would be the be all end all.
-
More American Graffiti. Maybe he can have Mutt Williams star in the third installment as Pal LeMat's dad?
-
(For those uninitiated, that's English for the ancient Chinese expression of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" - http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/5/54/DONOTWANT_Vader.jpg)
-
...kick off an avalanche of Mutt Williams titles.
-
I remember them saying they planned to make a fifth with Indy as a supporting character and the sixth without him.
Then I kept hearing rumors about Indy dying in KOTCS. And now this. -
Little Short Round would whoop Mutt's ass. That 10 year old kid threw a better punch than Suburb Shia.
-
Zahn's books kicked ass. Furry worms that absorb the Force and lcones who identify themselves by adding vowels to their names are awesome.
-
George Lucas brains continue on, turning like clockwork and spawning new ideas, "Yes! I can remake Star Wars and Cast Shia has Han Solo, Harrison can come back as a grumpy, crazy old man!
Come on George. Indiana Jones is Harrison Ford, any sequel should feature him as the lead. No one cares about Mutt fucking Williams. -
Lucas also mentioned his plans to stain the franchises of films he has never been involved with to begin with.
"I have all sorts of ideas I haven't mentioned to James Cameron, Joel Coen, Terrence Malick, Wong Kar-wai... the list is endless! Just think about Aliens with a young Shia... as an alien. Or a sequel to No Country with a young Shia. I have so many ideas."
-
Why all the Shia hate?
-
And it’s nooot !
And it’s not like And it’s not not not.! -
the badguys win just like in empire strikes back! cool huh?!
-
watch this new IJones or not. I think he just made up my mind for me. At least this way I wont contribute to the horror that comes. With gas prices being what they are. I should save where I can and this is a good start. Thanks Lucas.
-
Was that in those books? Ooooof, don't remember those. Been 12-14 years since I read them. Oh well.
-
only three movies and it ended with Indy riding off into the sunset. No remakes, reboots, spinnoffs or Digitally remastered SI with Ewoks can ruin that. See George, I'm not the only one who can be delusional.
-
Watch it while you can, this one is getting deleted rapid fire. I haven't even watched it because I'm avoiding spoilers, so watch only if you don't mind behind-the-scenes-making-of footage with spoilers:

by kraken
Really?
-
This may in fact be the worst idea in the history of cinema. Wait, its second to Jar Jar.
-
...and there are no major spoilers in it, so there's nothing to worry about, but the page has major spoiler warnings so I wanted to post that to be sure. The footage is pretty cool, just to see Indy practicing with his whip gave me goosebumps.
-
George Lucas sits alone, reading the menu. It's full of words he doesn't understand. Momentarily, the waiter approaches.
GL: Oui, oui monseur. Je suis mange a uh...petit...
The waiter becomes visibly impatient. Just then, George's cell phone RINGS. He answers it, still trying to order.
GL: Jai'me des escargots...
(then, into the phone)
Hello?
(a beat, then to the waiter)
Ah fuck it. You know what? Just get me a goddamned cheeseburger and fries.
(back to the phone)
Is that you Leah? Dynamite. Listen, how about getting on board for a Howard the Duck sequel? Are you game?
LONG pause, then an audible CLICK.
GL: Leah? Are you there sweetie?
WAITER: Tuez-moi maintenant. -
plus, i thought he already talked about this before
-
Radioland Murders. THAT'S the sequel I'm waiting for.
Can they CGI some personality into Harrison's performance for the last 20 years this guy makes Costner look lively. -
He's not even close to Ford. I don't even like Shia that much. I'll rap about it - He's got a goofy face. Oh what a disgrace yo, with that potential fro. If he let his hair grow. So excuse me Lucas, If I let u know, by sayin HELL NO! Word!
-
There's the future of cinema.
-
You don't have a movie called Indiana Jones and the (fill in blank) and not have Indiana Jones as the lead character. And you don't have some other movie with Indiana Jones as a supporting character, because if you can get Indiana Jones in your movie you make it a damn Indiana Jones movie and you bloody-well call it Indiana Jones and the (fill in the blank)!
Idiot! -
Suburb Shia in this franchise is that he's at least better than Lucas' second choice, Hayden Christensen.

May 16, 2008 9:43:10 PM CDT
Um, where are those "small films" he was supposed to be doing?
by dasher
Remember Lucas said something about making documentaries and low-budget films after he was done with the prequels? Where are those? Why is he wasting his time on more Star Wars and Indy?
-
I can't believe Ford would even think about doing it like that.
-
George Lucas: I think it's a perfect idea, not sure why I never thought of it, I can CGI Shia as Darth Vader, Shia as King Kong, I can remove Marylin Monroe in Some like it Hot and replace her with Shia. I think he's the next John Wayne, let's just CGI John Wayne and Clint Eastwood out of all their movies and replace them with Shia. Him and his mangina will rule all of Asia.
-
Amen brother.
-
A Conan movie where Conan only makes a cameo, ya know? But the lead star of the Conan movie is Stallone's ex-wife instead of Schwarzenegger. Same deal, but with Shia instead of Ford.

This will happen the same time that Halle Berry "Jinx" Bond spin-off that studio morons were all excited about.
I mean a comment that was very likely produced from a leading line of questioning about the possible topic has everyone having kittens. Give it a rest. -
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg sit on stage with the cast of Indiana Jones 4, a frenzied crowd of press in front of them. After much buzz, the reporters settle and begin firing questions.
R1: Mr. Spielberg, the film was atrocious. Where do you go from here?
SS: To a solid patriotic biopic about our greatest leader ever. Can't fuck that up.
R2: Mr. LeBeef -
SHIA: That's LABEOUF.
R2: Whatever. This is your first major catastrophy. How will you deal with what might well become the beginnings of career suicide?
SHIA: I'll uh, probably hit the sauce hard, snort some shit, get caught copping a ten dollar blow job on Rodeo Drive, then appologize to the press and roll right into rehab.
The press gallery nods in agreement.
R3: Miss Allen. In many of your scenes, you looked like a lamb being led to the slaughter. Care to comment?
KA: I just did what they told me to do.
R4: Mr. Lucas, how long will you continue to sodomize your past cinematic accomplishments?
George thinks carefully for a moment, stroking his beard.
GL: Until every one of my major organs has been replaced at least twice, or until my goiter gets so big I have to kart it around in a wheelbarrow. Whichever comes first, I guess.
R4: Mon Dieu.
R1: At least he's honest.

The Lucas that made the original trilogy died long ago. So did the Spielberg that gave us anything he made before 1990. Those men no longer exist; all that remains are weak shadows of their predecessors.

milk it george. milk it until it is so dry that you have ruined all our childhood heroes. and speed racer was crystal meth on film with stick figures....

were called sequels? I'm sorry, I'm not a troll, but "post-quels"? I don't know if this is a common geek-term that I'm just not savvy to or if you just came up with it. Either way the term is dumb.I remember agreeing with you on a lot of other talk backs, so trust me I'm not trying to start a flame war. I just laughed when I thought "whatever happened to the word 'sequel'".GL can do what he wants. I haven't seen KOTCS, so I can't judge Shia. Even if the movie sucks, and they make it a bridge to 3 new Shia lead Indy flicks that also suck, nothing will ruin Raiders for me. I fucking love that movie, and if something else sucks, I'll just ignore it after seeing it. Personally, I can think of two ideas, for Indy spin-offs, that I'd like to see: CG D2DVD flicks like Marvel and DC are releasing - WITH Fate of Atlantis - and a set of Abner Ravenwood adventures for the theater. With Abner Ravenwood, we as the audience know little about him and have no preconcieved ideas as to what he should be like. I mean, they could cast him young in the late 19th century and lead up to when Marion was born. That's my say about 3 different subjects, 2 of which have nothing to do with my post-title.

By the way, for all the 'tards thinking "Lucas bad, Spielberg go
by jackpumpkinhead
Shia la Poof is Spielberg's idea. Most of the movie's concepts are Spielberg's ideas. AFAICR, even "Shia=son" was at least in half Spielberg's idea. In private, they work in perfect unison and understanding, but for show, Lucas took on the Evil Guy For The Public's Eye role, while Spielberg is sitting and taking the Hero Who Will Not Let the Franchise Be Destroyed role - and idiots are swallowing it fully.
-
Wait till its out and you see it. Then comment you bunch of muff fat gobblers.
Or I can speculate like you all, since there is nothing beter than an educated guess and an upcumming bit of filed entertainment.
Indy 4 will be like Pouring Manwich on Filet Migion. Not the right choice but still yummy. -
...and if you get it, like I did, all your cares will fall by the wayside. It'll be like, Shia who?
-
sorry for the typing!
-
Je. Sus. Christ. I had scroll up to find out what you were even talking about. It was just a comment HOD made in passing like 2 hours ago. Just shut the fuck up. Troll.

for a while. If it's good they'll praise Spielberg if it sucks they'll blame Lucas.

...they'll never be as good as "Raiders of the Lost Ark. That was the secret ingredient of "Raiders"'s success. I know that sounds incredible, but it's true. It's all about the monkey.

i told you all that shia was the antichrist.....i knew it...he has taken over speilburgh's mind...continuing the franchise with labouf as the lead?????? fuck you steven...fuck you right up your stingy kike ass (btw, im a kike, im allowed to be a racist)
-
Or maybe Chico?
-
compare Suburb Shia to Dicaprio. Some say people dislike them because they're young actors "who get the girls". But you know, I can never remember such negativity directed to Pitt, Damon, or Gyllenhaal, not even when they were younger. Not even Marky fucking Mark got that much hate for Christ's sake. And why do you think that is? At least these actors were capable of acting like a real dude instead of a whining little mama's boy.
-
How 'bout a storyline that doesn't include Muttfuck. Hell I don't really care. Go ahead and bring back short round, now a grown up Chinese commy soldier. Have him help out Indy until its revealed that he's the main antagonist and Indy has to kill him finding whatever ancient thingamafuck it is he's sent after this time. Just make it more interesting than Hindu stones and alien skulls. Garden of Eden. Staff of Moses. Excalibur. Spear of Destiny(nazi's had it). Whatever would actually work. Cause Indy as a side character, that don't work.

CUE photo of George Lucas.
Okay, seriously, IV is going to do quite well, and there's no reason not to do a V. But if HF can still whip it good, why not put him front & center in V and hold off the puppy for VI? -
Ok, in case anyone else didn't pick up on it, there is kind of a spoiler for the Crystal Skulls movies. I don't mind spoilers, I actually like them, I just want a warning. So don't read this any further unless you want to know a spoiler.... ok, so we know that a major character dies in Crystal Skulls, so gee, if HF and Shia are coming back in another movie, gee I wonder who that leaves then? Huh, a certain female brought back from the first one? Merrick, to quote Ted Theodore Logan from Bill and Ted, "You dick!"
-
You know that's what Lucas really has in mind.
-
...that got poisoned in "Raiders." You know, since Lucas is all about connecting things and using old characters and all. Either way, a monkey needs to be brought back into the equation.
-
They fucking wouldn't. They better not dare kill Marion.

Were Indy converts for his son and get the bit chopped to prove his love for a dead god.

before I wasted $ watching KOTCS. Because I'm boycotting Indiana Jones as of right now. Enough is enough.

I cannot believe how obsessively negative you people are. Really, go out and smell the roses.
You talk about petitions and boycotts for a FUCKING MOVIE!!! Why don't you put your energies into helping Burma? Something important... -
Yes, George, where are those "art" films you keep telling us you're gonna do? You greedy, fuckin' waster.
-
TRANSFORMERS and DISTURBIA were both produced by Steven Spielberg. Shia LeBeouf is Steven Spielberg's new actor of choice. KOTCS will be the first of many Spielberg/LeBeouf team-ups.
Believe it. -
in an all too revealing indy drama trying to gain some industry cred. My guess is that his character starts a gay curious closet case that falls under the table for an outrageous drag queen that shows him how to appreciate life before dying of a undisclosed brain tumor. Maude the drag queen will be played by Ashton Kutcher. Either that or an all male remake of Ice Castles. This is a safer bet than anything on the stock market.
-
I came up with it as far as I know, tonight no less. I had to endure pulling out weeds in my lawn, a bad bottle of wine and another Celtics loss. So tell me how much I owe you for ruining your night with my blathering mundane ill-conceived phrase and I'll write you a check.For the record, I love the Indy trilogy and will be there to see Crystal Skull first showing next Saturday morning.

by hawaiian organ donor
I also remember having the stamina to jerk off 2 or 3 times a day, eat a large pizza and down a six-pack and not feel bloated, ooohing and ahhhing at the awesome effects in Willow and counting down the days until Dolph Lundgren became the biggest box office draw in the world.The golden days, how I miss ye.
-
That nailed it. Whatever he used to have, he's lost. That shitty and super-boring "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" series that he forced on the world as some kind of educational Mr. Peabody and Sherman should have been all the proof anybody needed to realize that Lucas has lost his perspective on Indy like he's lost his perspective on everything else. There needs to be a coup at Lucasfilm. Send the old man packing! And take his fat kids with him!
-
...I could somehow see Shia spinning off into his own franchise, with an older Indy in tow. Maybe it's something for the comics to explore, like "expanded universe" Indy.
Problem is, it's the INDIANA JONES franchise. it's INDIANA JONES whose name is in the title. People are going to be going to see INDIANA JONES next weekend. Shia's been lucky enough to get cast in two ridiculously huge movies two summers in a row, but I guarantee nobody's thinking about their plans for seeing the new Shia LeBeouf flick next weekend. It's INDIANA JONES. Lucas needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that. -
You're right. I'm chucking a 20-pack of Costco briefs and a jumbo box of Pop Tarts into an envelope and shipping it off to Burma right now.And I'll be on my front lawn in case any of you guys are interested in another Hands Across America shtick.

Then he'll digitally remake the movie so all of the bad guys are Ewoks.

The future was supposed to be better than our parents had it. What a rip off!!!
-
I feel your pain. Are you going to see KOTCS or join the global boycott?
-
This was obviously a joke and I'm a little surprised that so few caught on. Lucas is obviously well aware (maybe a little too aware) of the internet and he knows how much fanboys hate Shia. He's just trying to get a rise out of you guys and he succeeded nicely.

Fuck the whole "Ford IS Indy!" shit. Would you pay to see a 77-year old Sean Connery as 007? They should have re-cast the role in the early 90's. I want Crystal Skull to recapture the old Raiders/Doom magic like crazy, but we'll probably be lucky if it's as good as Crusade (only creakier). No "Son Of Indy" bullcrap, just stick a new actor in the fedora and KEEP GOING.

Mutt: "We'll do it for Johnny!"
Indy: "Who's Johnny?"
Mutt: "Johnny, man. We'll do it for Johnny!"
Indy: "You're confusing me."
Mutt: "Stay gold!" -
But I wouldn't mind a KOCS kicking off an "Old Man Indy" trilogy of movies that ends with his totally awesome death. But Indy 5 just HAS to follow up on Short Round. I wanna see what's happening with him. Maybe working on his doctorate and being a teaching assistant to Indy?
-
Sean Connery was Bond for like 6 years. Ford's been Indy for almost 3 decades. And some people still don't accept anyone but Connery as Bond.
-
Isn't that the point of KOCS? to reverse the father son pattern and put the shoe on the other foot for indy? Doing that AGAIN would just be redundant.
-
But then again, casting Hayden Christensen killed the Star Wars NT, so Lucas - despite his talent - has some serious bad ideas.
Just leave it at this... -
For crying out loud, Lucas really has just lost it -- which becomes more and more painful to accept and say given what a diehard lifelong Star Wars fan I've been. But the man is just fucking OUT THERE at this point if he ACTUALLY believes that Shia is some sort of bona fide box office draw that will make people come to see him in further INDY adventures, where Ford takes a subordinate role (like Connery had in CRUSADE). And even if they structure it like CRUSADE, where Connery managed to have ample screen time, you'd be right back to the idea of this movie: that somehow Lucas believes the public wants to see more Shia (with Ford tagging along) adventures like an old Crosby & Hope ROAD movie.So FUCK YOU, George. I'll see this because now I'm interested to see just how MUCH of a train wreck you might have created here. And you're going to break my heart -- I'm beginning to sense it more and more that this thing really will NOT live up to anyone's expectations, which only goes to show you should have let sleeping dogs lie and moved onto something else.For crying out loud, if Lucas feels he has more movies in him, then why the fuck didn't they cast Hugh Jackman or Nathan Fillion (or insert the name of a star you'd like to see here) to make an all-new trilogy that was STILL set in WWII where you could have KEPT the old Cliffhanger serial feel and had Jones going after artifacts and fighting Nazis and all that good stuff?I long suspected that not recasting this thing ala BOND was going to come back to bite the franchise in the ass, and IF...and that's a big IF...this Shia idea comes to pass, I will have been proven right.FUCK YOU, GEORGE! FUCK THIS IDEA RIGHT UP THE ASS! Sorry, this pisses me off so much I had to get it out one more time...
-
Let the adventures begin!

Damn You Michael Bay

Please, for the love of fuck, don't fuck up the Indy license more than this movie already might. Goddamn you Lucas for even suggesting such a dumbfuck of an idea. My childhood is being raped by this shit...

Mutt Williams and the Disco Ball of Damnation set in the '70s.
-
I saw the mummy being expanded in The Mummy Returns to cover none mummy movies, and I could see this move too.
They want to keep the franchise alive and Harrison is getting old.. -
Please :(
-
Right now he's more Mark Hamill than Harrison Ford. When we first met Indy, it's clear that he was a guy who had the mileage, someone with real life experience under his belt. That's part of what made the character so interesting- the implied backstory with Marion and Belloq. Who wants to see Mutt Williams and the Post Adolescent Growing Pains???
Seriously, if they absolutely must continue the Indy franchise, they need to either stick with Harrison, or move past him. The question is whether Indy is like James Bond, Robin Hood, or Batman, a transgenerational hero with stories that deserve to be told for years to come, with different actors and different filmmakers, or is he solely the creation of this actor and these filmmakers? -
with indy as the dad this time? brilliant.
-
you can never tell with Lucas. Even if he's joking now, give it a while and he may actually do something like this.He still hasn't moved on past Star Wars, licensing out the franchise yet again for the upcoming theatrical animated clone wars flick (on the subject of which, the trailer left me cold - a series of disconnected action sequences with little no no hint of story and it all looked like it belonged in a video game). Indy was Lucas's only other big hit (and he only produced it thankfully) so if the trends hold true, he won't let this one go quietly or with dignity either.
-
I though, the next movie will be Shia as lead and Harrison doing the dad/sean connery thing. I don't mind this idea. or maybe make them equal probably better.
-
if they do a fifth the reversal of roles sounds like a good way to start a new franchise without totally screwing Indiana Jones(stuff like killing him, or just having him "go away") not that I want a new franchise but hell gotta think of the kiddies
-
This is a horrible idea! Just fucking horrible make two more with old ass Indy fighting commies and then lets Shia do his thing and have those movies bomb. He is a horrible actor but made a lot of friends in the industry obviously, or gave out lots of blow jobs either way he is connected because I have seen student improve actors better than him.
-
[i]Is not crap but like the 3rd best thing that came out in the summer of 1990 behind Gremlins 2 - The New Batch, and Total Recall![/i]

are so passe. I know what the talkbalkers are going to say before I even scroll down.
-
need to join Lucas in the mental home for the hopelessly delusional? I don't deny some of us deserve to be ragged but I've got to say the people in defense of this sound way more pissed and obsessed.
-
fuck that shit!!
-
the reason they went with what they have now is to make the transition for the new character. Darabont's script didn't leave it open like kingdom of the crystal skull.
-
The man's life is condemned to repeat the same two original ideas he's ever had.
Why bother being creative when there's MONEY to be made? -
It's titled - Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. Which suggest a new series will be forthcoming, not just one film.
-
It's pathetic the way the newswire has picked up one negative review from some anonymous nobody and acted like the movie is already universally panned.
Most critics are jaded morons only interested in writing pithy blurbs—even worse when they aren't legit journalists to begin with. -
He can do whatever he wants!
-
Blow it back To GOD!
-
It's a joke, like the "Han shot first" t-shirt.Ford and Speilberg would never go for it.That said, as a huge GL fan and PT lover, I'd totally abandon him if he actually went forward with this. :p

you are frankly so stupid that we seriously need you to die and remove yourself from the gene pool ASAP!!!! Please do us all a favour and kill yourself. Don't wait for the punchline, it ain't coming, KILL YOURSELF NOWWWW!
-
Mutt Williams is a terrible name. To think that this character will catch on seems way out even for Lucas. I guess if Lucas invests his own cash in a film it will happen regardless, but I just don't see a Shia Leboeuf character named Mutt Williams riding a wave of public love.
-
Lucas wins some respect back for his comedy. Still, he needs to be careful... in the world of Lucas, his 'good ideas' and his 'jokes' are often very hard to tell apart.
-
Are you serious? COME ON! Use your brains once in a while!
Moriarty's kid isn't a spoiler. Anything about the ending of Indy 4 possible beginning of Indy 5 is a spoiler. Slight plot information about the Decepticons, not a spoiler. -
Isn't Marion.
Try Mac. -
which is weird because he hasn't really had an actor he goes to again and again. Scorsese has Deniro, Nolan seems to want Bale as his. Well Spielberg wants Shia.
-
DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!Star Wars wasn't enough, huh? Please stop fucking our beloved franchises. Thanks.
-
Like when George Lucas cast an underwear model named Hayden as Darth Fucking Vader? It may be a joke, but the jokes on you. BOYCOTT KOCS. Tell people at work, sink this motherfucker its the only way. Your geek ass couldn't resist Star Wars, its not your fault. But you have a chance to make things right.
-
but this time he really is talking shit. Indiana Jones is Harrison Ford. Period.
-
I'm sure he's laughing at the gullible press about the incendiary joke he has inflicted. He's not going do it, nor is Spielberg. But I'm sure he's patting himself on his back for his quick-witted jest.

Lets once again leverage what could have been a decent film into some serious merchandise and spin offs! Expect "Indy - the Animated adventures" to follow soon.

You know, I've defended George for a while. I've never claimed the prequels were masterpieces or anything like that, but I did offer defense. And then this shitstorm gets unleashed. Fuck this shit. I'm not seeing KotCS. Before any details of this movie came out I was so excited for another Indy film (because another sequel done in the 'Raiders' mode could be kickass), but this is just a blatant cash-in, a launch-pad for a new franchise that nobody wants. Lucas is definitely bullshitting when he says nobody else knows about this, though. Spielberg's the reason Shia is in this shitstorm, so I'm certain he had a hand in it. "Making it for the fans," my left nut.

...then why are these Talkbacks always the longest? If for one think this is a great idea. Go George!!
-
-there are only 20 geeks in the world my ass. Yeah, most geeks say they hate a movie and then go anyway, but if they didn't, and they voiced their opinion, it would carry. The majority of people don't think about the movies they see, thats why you go to imdb and see the same handful of ideas bandied about by unthinking thousands. When the barrage of commercials hit to churn the sheep into the theaters this time they could have a little voice in the back of their head, which sounds like quatto, "Jerkoff making another cash in. teen fag to replace Indy. wait for Batman, that guy died it was so intense. Open Your Mind Quaid, Open Your Mind..."
-
...and I don't mean Harrison Ford. I've been nowhere near as passionate a detractor of Lucas as many others, but this has got to stop here and now. Indiana Jones is what it is. I can even see Harrison making one more, maybe two if they do 'em back to back. But nobody gives a flying fuck about Mutt fucking Williams and the senile executive producer. Blow that shit out the window.
-
That's too bad. Bring back Jonathan Ke Quan.
-
...they same way that Lucas kept vetoing every idea that they wanted to do with Indy over the past several years, until they had no choice but to go with Lucas' central story plot. I'd love to see another Indy, but I want to see Indy, not Shia.
-
all you guys say how 'out of touch' lucas is, but a film he made 3 years ago made 850 million worldwide. Oh... THAT kind of out of touch!

thisa goood ideeas

what is the matter with lucas its like he wants to decretit every piece of cinematic history he was ever involved with, whats next american graffitti the return? i mean star wars was easier to do but replacing indiana jones and putting him in a BACKGROUND role?!!! what in gods name is he thinking
-
Just don't call it Indy V.
-
Shrek 2, Spiderman 3, the Harry Potter movies, the Pirates of the Caribbean Movies, and the Top Dog, and therefore the pinnacle of cinema, Titanic. In touch with something, but not merit or how to craft a good movie.
-
I hope! Star Wars was shit without Ford. Indiana Jones would be shit without Ford.
Shia LaBouef is simply 'flavour of the month', just like Colin Farrell was when Spielberg cast him in Minority Report.
P.S. I'd love to see another Indy with Ford battling ex-Nazis from his past. Those guys must surely have a pretty big score to settle... -
http://tinyurl.com/3ky6td
-
and remember that Lucas' gripe with the old script was that there was NOT ENOUGH action. So don't blame him if it's boring.
-
that Hollywood stars don't have these days, yeah he's young and goofy, but just wait until he hits his thirties.
-
Fuck off.
-
But do I really have to? Lucas' insanity speaks for itself. After Howard The Duck, after the Ewoks, after Young Indiana Jones, after CGI shoehorned into Star Wars, after Greedo Shoots First, after the Prequels, after the 'Crystal Skull' - after ALL these abominations, people are FINALLY beginning to wake up to the truth. Better late than never, I guess.
-
The only problem Lucas had with FD's script was the action (hes not exactly an action writer is he ?), hence Koepp was drafted (no pun) to juice it up abit.
-
Try and learn about punctuation before you post here again. Thanks, appreciate it.
-
I can see a franchise based on 50's sci-fis. They would just need to distance it from Indy very fast. No fucking cameos.
-
He likes his whiskey with a dash of prune juice, his women sporting blue hair and his Holy Grail is a good bowel-movement, but he can still chew his own food, bless him.
But in all fairness, we have tickets booked for the day of release in a luxury screen, but let's hope that Lucas' toned-down celebrations for the release aren't an indicator that this is a turd. Of course, talk of another movie might be a way of playing down the rumours that Indy dies at the end, leaving LaButt ready to continue the series - Bugger! -
Yeah right. Its was the only way to make the series even worse. The law of ever diminishing returns rules
-
followed by Indiana Jones and the Final Humiliation
-
Oh Crazy George. You kill me. Notice how celebs who buy ranches and sequester themselves away seem to loose their grip on reality?
-
....if you ask me.
'nuff said. -
If they do two you know they will do a third one with Shia. Money talks and Lucas needs some to make his 100 Star Wars TV episodes.
-
Seen him on ET last night at Cannes. The guy has got some guns on him and no fat at all. But the Shia thing is just a bad idea all around.
-
Let's turn this into a reality show and see who gets voted off first. Lucas, Shia or Harrison.
-
Shia taking Indy's place? Dammit, I so sick of the "Flash in the Pan" syndrome.
HOLLYWOOD EXEC: "Hey I have an idea, lets cast Jonah Hill as Conan the Barbarian! And maybe Seth Rogan as Thor!
-
I am on board.
Full Support. -
I saw it coming a mile away. Frank Darabont writes a script Ford and Spielberg like. Lucas? "Meh". They try someone elses script. This time Indy has a son. Instant boner for George! "Indy has a son? That means I can make SON OF INDY MOVIES!" It's what I most feared, and here he is, pimping it at the first oppurtunity.
-
Retire from being a businessman.
If you ever make a film again, MAKE IT FROM YOUR HEART like Graffiti, THX or the original Star Wars. You are powerful enough to do anything you want.
-
What would it be called.... "Mutt Jones & the Guy You Wish Was Starring In This Movie"
-
I can only assume he didn't tell them about this idea for the same reason I don't tell women I won't call them back the next day.
-
The problem with Lucas is that there's too many yes men around him. No one @ Lucas film will stand up and say, "No George, thats an awful idea." That, and he also writes dialog like someone who's watched nothing but kids shows for a decade or so.
-
sounds good. need to lose shia lapeouf too..
-
You know you would pay to see it..
-
would probably pay to go see a sallah spin off, or a short round spin off or an old knight prequel or even a marcus spinoff, or even a third skeleton from the right in the tomb scene spinoff... and it's this.
-
Shia is in the spotlight obviously to lure in the younger generation and not because of Lucas' twisted plans of replacing Harrison with Shia. I hope to God it won't happen. Unfortunately though it's the thing that Lucas will most likely do.
-
with delight as geeks everywhere groan in misery and explode with rage. Since the late 90's, every decision has been made solely to get you riled up. He's sick that way. Hi, George. You're a sick, sick man.
-
Seriously, Indy should have had a daughter. A hot, smoking, Lara Croft but, you know, better acted Daughter. And then we could have had her adventures. And lots of uncomfortable snake as penis jokes. And the whole macho thing thrown upside down. And frankly any slightly well trained girl would look better throwing a punch than Shia.
If Lucas et all really were thinking ahead they would have greeted that daughter story with open arms. C'mon hot girl in leather jacket and Fedora, Indy all protective and unsure of himself but sort of not wanting her to kick more ass than him. What's not to love? -
"Mutt, what are you doing underneath Trogdor's sack?"
-
And so does this "idea"!
-
If only the Prequels had come out a few years later...
-
Dad Solo! How's that for irony? Is that irony?
-
Why not just get a younger actor to play Indy and do more adventures? It isn't as if Ford is the only one ever to have played the character. River Phoenix played Indy in the beginning of "Last Crusade." Sean Patrick Flannery, George Hall and Corey Carrier all played Indy at different ages in the TV series (although I'm trying to forget the doddering old 90+ year old version played by Hall who sat on park benches and told stories like Forrest Gump.) The precedent is there -- a total of 5 different actors have already played the character. Heck, they could bring in Flannery for consistency. Finally show some of the things they had planned for the unshot season of Young Indy including Indy with Prof. Ravenwood and his first encounters with Belloch.
-
then kicking it if it stinks. whats with all the shia bashing. Star wars was lucas's franchise. he created it, its his saga and he can do what he likes with it. shit, that the prequels are. it is his franchise. If he made a mistake, anywhere its this. Those prequels should have been animated. dont be suprised if 7,8,9 are. Its interesting that the WB are making the clone wars.

He was talking about this film and the word has been very sniffy. dywer did point out that, the da vinci code got torn apart and it was the film that opened Cannes, 2 years ago. look how well that film did. I saw that and was rubbish. I for one will see the film next week. and then judge. I would like to hear the stories about valkeriye or rubicon. That seems to be rubbish alright.
-
Any decent movie he's been a part of has been due to the screenwriting and directing efforts of others. Once, a long, long time ago, he ripped off Flash Gordon and the Kurosawa samurai movies to make 'Star Wars'... this jack-ass wouldn't know a good script if it fleched him.
-
'felched him'. Sorry.
-
The man is so in love with the smell of his own farts. I'm perfectly happy with the Indiana Jones franchise continuing with another actor as Indy. Just like with James Bond. I don't want to see a half assed version with descendants of his family. Lucas needs to release control of Indy and Star Wars to someone that doesn't suck on all levels as a competent storyteller. I really hope Crystal Skull is better than everyone is saying, but I think we all know it will be the worst in the series.
-
Howard the Duck, Ewocks, Young Indiana Jones, the fucking Prequels-- this douche is NOT a good, or even competent, filmmaker.
-
....an assistant carefully (and perhaps fearfully) answers his boss George when posed with the same quote...."Yeah, umm, that sounds great Boss, but you know, let's run it by Steve as well before we start to roll film. I hear he's pretty busy but you might be able to slip the idea to him during the meeting next week when you were going to present those ideas for the ET sequel and the prequel to Close Encounters, you know, the one where a 5 year old Richard Dreyfus was ironically making Devils Mountain Play-doh sculptures in his sandpit even as a kid'
In the background Rick McCallumnods in agreement, a large smile on his face. The assistant anxiously wonders whether the smile and enthusiasm on Rick's face is sarcastic or genuine. There is then an awkward moment of silence broken only when the assistant changes the topic of conversation towards action figure sales. -
One that isn't a sequel or an adaptation of a motherfucking kid's book?
-
Lucas wants anothe Jedi Apprentice crap. Count me out if Ford is second fiddle to Shia. Luca love to recycle shit!
-
drive up to Skywalker Ranch and beat the living S*$#t out of him if he does this! If he wants another Indy and this one is good. Fine. If Shia's in it, fine. But the series is called "Indiana Jones" for a reason. Make a spinoff series if he wants, but don't turn Indy into a vehicle for him and destroy something we fans cherrish from our childhood.
-
"And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65" Yeah! He's of retirement age, George. That means OLD! He's ready to draw the government pension. Get it?

...higher learning that Lucas keeps urging if he won't apply it to his own projects? I still can't believe how he "murdered, mutilated and molested" his own Star Wars saga.

By all means, you GF comes first. I'd get tickets for Iron Man and walk into Indy. That way yo money goes to a worthwhile cause, and you get to play Indiana Jones And The Serpent In The Cave afterwards.

I see people are looking for Ford replacemnts or something. I don't much care for Viggo or Fillion. I think Clooney has that jokey macho thing down. Also, and most of you are gonna hate this but I see potential, Johhny Knoxville. Given the right director, I bet he could totally pull off a Jones-esque presence. He got a look of a fighter. Put some glasses on him and a suit - he could be a professor. And he's got THAT smirk.
-
He's popular, he's dorky yet girls think he's cute, he's talented and has charisma on the screen, he's young an has yet to do anything to seriously tarnish his image. What's not to hate?
-
I skimmed this TB because I was curious about how people felt about this possibility of a Shia Jones continuation but it makes me laugh how negative people are. People talk about overmarketing (like the Tony the Tiger in the fedora thing) but when the first Raiders came out and even movies like Star Wars, they did the same thing. No one would have questioned a move like this in the 70's, they would have just thought, "cool more "Jones Adventures" and accepted Shia as the new guy, (kind of like how people instantly accepted Harrison Ford.) Nowadays, the language is all about fanboys and franchises and the fan's rights to the franchise. I'm not as rabid about Star Wars and Lucas as I was as a kid because I like richer stories now but his movies are fun for what they are. It would seem like many people are grappling with growing pains in terms of their movie tastes. The internet has altered the way we experience entertainment and in opening up the world to us it seems to have closed a lot of minds. Lucas hasn't changed, people's expectations of him have. He's making the same movies he always has and he doesn't owe us anything.

-
Lucas loves to get all your fanboy panties in a bunch.
-
While I hate George Lucas for everything he's done to his other franchise, I don't think this idea is such a bad one. Shia has proven to be effective in big budget genre fare, and I don't expect him to be bad in this one. And, damnit - I LOVE period adventure movies. That's why I actually enjoyed the MUMMY series, because they filled a certain void left by the Indy films. As long as Lucasfilm can deliver a quality product and not some YIJC-style garbage, if a MUTT WILLIAMS AND THE... series means I get to see more of the style of adventure movie I genuinely love, that turned me onto movies in the first place, I'll go see every goddamn one of 'em.
-
Every tenth post states, accurately, that Lucas is having fun with the fanboys. It's just a practical joke he's pulling on people. Even with that information people are taking this seriously. He's fucking with you! I haven't been overfilled with love for Lucas recently, but I will admit this is kind of funny.

obviously hasn't taken a look at those utterly shitastic prequels he put out. You cunts obviously haven't bothered watching the new cuts of the first 3 Star Wars movies either. Go ahead, stick your heads in your ass and then go on for the next 3 days yammering about how this is a big joke and the rest of us are full of shit. I knew the minute TheQueef was announced this franchise was headed to the shitter because these two goddamn morons are clueless.
-
You'd be crazy not to.
-
Seriously, George, do whatever. I still think you should use that Beowulf tecnology and make the Indiana Jones series of movies we wanted to see but that you and the others didn't make during the 90s. Indy in WWII would be worth seeing!!!
-
You know this shit is going to suck when Georgie is already talking about audience expectations. This guy is so fucking fat and lazy anymore it boggles the mind. Lucas the Hutt needs to sit the fuck down and STOP because he's just one excuse after another about why his movies are garbage.

Natalie is hot even if she is a little small on top.

Patrick Schoenmaker to do the stories those would still be better than watching Spielberg shoehorn TheQueef into this movie and Lucas shit out an unwanted spin-off.

This is the most stupid idea since greedo shot 1st. Indiana playing sidekick bitch to shia is just plain wrong, indy is just not that type of person to take a backseat and let some young cocky arsed kid lead him around. If lucas is thinking this as a idea for a new film then he might as well go back and make "howard the duck 2, howard & jar jar's quest for the golden turd !

YESSSSS! I love the indiana Jones movies and although my brother will not be able to get the DVD for a couple of months I know I'm GONNA love the new movie. I've seen the trailer for the new flick and IT LOOKS HOT. I can't wait to see my favourite film heroes do battle with commies! I have seen two of the previous movies (I think the first film is a bit too old) and I LOVED THEM. Think that Shia will be a good person in this film, as will Harrison Ford who plays Indiana Jones. Possible casting for the new movie:
Indiana Jones - harrison Ford.
Mutt - Shia.
Girl - Megan Fox.
Villian - Dan Shanks.
Dr Jones Papa - CGI.
I would like to think the guys up in Hollywood will read this and contact me for more ideas (plot, music, special effects, etc.) -
The character of "Mutt" is one that most of us will never wish to see again. Half of us will probably wind up wishing we'd never seen him in the first place. I'm about as likely to go see a Mutt movie as I am a "Mummy" sequel.
-
star in "The Tickle-Fight of Doom." ☺
-
It's me. God. I think I found your conscience. In a shallow, unmarked grave. It looked...violated. But, anyway, I wanted to say, I'm actually going to love the new Indy film. Even if it sucks, I'll love it. Ford may be old but better him than some Shia kid. Which reminds me, if you see The Berg, mention I know where Shia keeps the incriminating photos that keep getting him work. And as a side note, I'm not rampantly against man-boy love, most of my priests are at it, but, dude, seriously, tell the Berg he can afford prettier kids than that. That is all George. May the force be with you.
Sorry. -

I am not of the ilk that Lucas is a hack, but I am not going to defend on anything he has done since coming out of retirement in 1997 with the SE & PT, and now Indy IV. Lucas is just a guy who is past his prime, and really can't bring anything original to the table anymore. Just think of bands like LedZeppelin, The Who, The Rollings Stones, they put out some of the greatest music in the late 60's/early 70's, and then like any other artist, lose that creativity later in their career. They can keep putting out music, but do you think Robert Plant/Jimmy Page could put out an album like their 4th album with Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, or Rock & Roll on it? Same goes with Lucas, his prime was in the 70's/early 80's, with Graffiti, THX, Star Wars, Empire, Raiders, and then once he became the CEO of Lucasfilm, his movies became the same old, same old like Jedi, Howard the Duck, Last Crusade, Young Indy, etc. It happens to the best of them, but the problem is Lucas is milking the great franchises he started that became iconic, and you are just seeing an old man now who really doesn't know what is cool anymore (Jedi Rocks anyone?) and he is a shell of himself. He WAS great, and that shouldn't be taken away from him, but we will never see the guy who developed the story for Empire Strikes Back anymore.

Would it not be more practical to attempt to make a film which would follow in the style of Raiders of the Lost Ark (two-fisted homage to serials and classic Hollywood,) and simply use Indiana Jones as one of several characters -- this, in lieu of making a film which is not what we want to see, but rather only, and I mean only, what YOU want to see !?

Forget raping MY childhood - if I EVER get my hands on George Lucas I'm raping that bastard until he FUCKING DIES SCREAMING!!!
I will rape him in that gizzard so fucking hard he might begin TO FUCKING UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING INSANE I AM THAT HE RUINED MY FAVOURITE TWO FRANCHISES OF ALL TIME!
LUCAAAAAAAAAS! I'M COMING FOR YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU!*
*And for those who know how 'homophobic' I supposedly am (see Who TBs)... Wow. I must be REALLY fucking upset to threaten the gizzard with rape. But his childhood had it comin'. For EVERYTHING he did to mine... >:D -
I'm REALLY upset by this. But it can go one of two ways:
(1) It actually happens, it tanks horribly at the box office, we all say "I told you so" and roll right onto the next Megan Fox tittie photfest.
(2) GL is fucking with us. Which is probably true.
Sorry for my previous unhinged post. My inner-12 year old exploded and I had no chance of holding it back :D -
Goddamn.

The "set shia up to takeover the series" gimmick was pretty transparent as soon as he was cast. Let's hope this goes the way of the Ryan Reynolds & the chick from Hitch (i think) Blade-less Blade film we were promised after Blade Trinity.

What happened to him skulking off and focusing on little 'arty' experimental films he was going to dedicate the rest of his living days to? He's truly turned to the dark side. What a potato-head.

Some of the comments about Lucas here are really pathetic . some of you need to see a shrink or SERIOUSLY get a life, now! I love Film as much as anyone but directing this sort of vile childish venom like many of you are doing is really sad. get over it. life is full of dissapointments . if Lucas does this you can choose to ignore it or not but the level of hatred from some of you is just fucking ridiculous. exercise from free will for once in your obviously empty lives! instead of spewing these childish personal attacks all the live long day. geeez . I have never been compelled to campaign and waste as many countless hours as some do whining and bitching all day about someone else's films, especially when you obviously dislike them so much. The logic and rationale for this escapes me cause NO movie or director OWES YOU anything. Lucas does what he wants to do , so do others in the entertainment industry . If you don't like it , fine, just don't whine till the end of time about things you know full well could and probably may happen. It's as if these whiners don't already know what to expect from Lucas. Just give it up already. is someone holding a gun to your heads? sheeesh you'de think they were.

Now unleash your anger! Boycott the the new Indy 'movie'. Don't give Lucas your money. It's the only langauge he undersatnds.
-
that drooling on yourselves and throwing shit at your parents while they try to bath you has become a welcome pastime at your respective homes, but honestly can you two suck more dick? We've got Imp talking about free will on one hand while he simultaneously sticks his other hand up his ass by telling use to stop voicing our opinions on this shitty idea. Quit being a twat. Then we've got Stan Gable that ironically was right in everything he said with one possible exception of The Avengers. Way to go you Uber Douche! By the way wash the sand from your vagina, you'll think more clearly that way.
-
Just say "NO!"
-
Erm, we shouldn't air our opinions on here, but you should? Like the taste of your own jizz much?
and as for "they don't owe the fans ANYTHING" - erm, how exactly did Lucas get to be in charge of a $60 BILLION dollar company? He built it off the back of STAR WARS. He built ILM and Lucasfilm from those profits. He kept the likeness rights and action figure / merchandise rights. Who EXACTLY do you think bought all the figures, all the merchandise, went to see the movies multiple times, and therefore GAVE LUCAS THEIR MONEY, enabling him to MAKE MORE MOVIES?
In your world, Evil_Imp, how EXACTLY does Lucas NOT owe everything he has to his fans or ex-fans? Were it not for us and our buying EVERYTHING he puts out, he would have nowhere near what he has now.
Now put your dick back in your mouth and start sucking. That's where the Kool Aid is, right there. -
Read my previous post. This is why Lucas DOES owe his fans, well, fucking EVERYTHING he has. He wouldn't have it if it weren't for us and (more importantly) our money. And, as with Evil_Imp before you, give your Dia-noga a good hard sucking - 'cos that's where the Kool Aid is.

This will get made with all his "avante garde" movies
by industrykiller!
Which are never EVER going to get made. What a fucking joke George Lucas has become. Seriously is there anyone in the industry who doesn't laugh at how creatively bankrupt he is? This isn't going to happen. Indiana Jones lives and dies with Harrison Ford, no one wants to see him in an even slightly reduced role. I mean can you imagine the name "Mutt Williams" on a marquis let alone Shia Labeouf being a bad ass action guy carrying an Indiana Jones film? It's fucking preposterous. The only question that remains is whether Lucas is delusional or just purposely an asshole.
-
..this is the same guy who wanted the third film to be about a haunted castle.
Oh, and watch Episodes 1,2 and 3 again. If you heard about half the shit in there beforehand you'd have thought he was joking too.
He's a fucking retard. -
What the fuck difference does it make how much money he makes? Since when is that a barometer of quality. If you want to make a point and insult us all why don't you put your money where your fucking mouth is and defend the work.
-
Nevermind. I think there is something poetic about the one guy defending the creatively tyrannical imbecile is a sick fucking bigot such as yourself. So shine on you crazy diamond.
-
... although being the eternal optimist that I am, I'm leaning more toward his having done Indy 4 "for himself" (in the context of the fact that he's always maintained that he thought the character of Indiana Jones had more places to go, as opposed to Han Solo) than to resurrect his "faltering career". I suspect he'd be alright if he never did another thing, flying his planes and hanging on the ranch with his family, as long as he felt that he'd said everything he wanted / needed to wearing the fedora. At this point, his career speaks for itself, warts and all. I think Groen gives "Witness" short shrift and is a little too reverential to the "great" actors of our time (De Niro and Pacino have certainly had their recent missteps). But the bottom line is: Harry may only have a few pitches, but damn, he throws 'em well when he's on his game.
-
Look, the scene where Mutt gets laid by Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 while Pops is falling asleep writes itself!
Leave it to Lucas to want to return to his Wayward Yoot!
"No Mutt! I am your Father! Marion never told you the Truth....."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's NOT POSSIBLE....!"
"Search your feelings, Mutt, you KNOW this to be true!" -
THAT is what Lucas has become.
-
...I wonder if Sam Raimi will consider having Shia front the next Spiderman with Peter Parker playing a kind of Uncle Ben role. I mean, Shia isn't THAT young.
-
An ugly hybrid between "reverent" and "deferential". Nice usage, eh? Oops.
-
I meant that he gave "The Fugitive" short shrift. Gawd. Someone missed snacktime...
-
May 17, 2008 6:11:37 PM CDT
Stan maybe you can't see how that idea would turn out
by industrykiller!
But I can see it as clearly as the bright blue sky. Shia Labeouf, no matter how much you like him or dislike him, is not Indiana Jones or even a reasonable variation thereof. That is a cold hard fact. Inarguable. And considering George Lucas wears his failures, his staggering failures, on his chest like a war hero, you can bet your ass he will continue down that path. And saying new bad indy films wont affect the old ones is like saying The Empire Strike Back doesn't make what came before it look even better.

I can't believe you retards actually know how to use the interne
by arteska
-
"It's pretty fucking hard to defend something that hasn't even been made yet. That is the point I'm trying to make asshole. Everyone goes apeshit on Lucas because of two-line idea he has! You haven't even seen Indy 4 yet so how the fuck can you crucify the guy for an Indy 5 idea?? "
Erm, read that idea again. An INDIANA JONES movie. Where Indy does a few cameo sc4enes grumping about being old, like Sean Connery did in LAST CRUSADE. Where the lead character is NOT INDIANA JONES.
Wow. so, stan, how exactly will this NOT suck again? You make a point of going to seem movies named not after the lead character, but after some cameo role character instead?
The word you'll never find with your head up your ass is MISLEADING. Closely followed by STEAMING PILE OF FUCKING LUCAS-INCORPORATED SHITE.
But you go back to telling us all how great Lucas' recent output is. Pretty soon you'll be telling us Hayden Christensen is actually a good actor, Lucas was righjt making EPISODE I about taxes and broken spaceship parts, and end it by saying it's a good thing that the climactic Obi/Anakin duel in EPISODE III looked like an unfinished Playstation II game demo.
Jesus. You are a completely unreconstructed fucktard. I had no clue such dumb bastards still existed on these TalkBack - I thought Lost Jarv had exterminated the last of you. -
I don't believe this story it's too stupid that George would act like he just had this idea when I'm sure it was discussed when they got Shia. I was hoping George wouldn't go there with the son of Indy thing. Why not have Superman's son, Shia, and Jar Jar Binks and relaunch the 3 Amigos franchise.
-
someone said lucas owes the people because they paid and are responsible for his successes....while that is true, people also went and paid willingly and weren't forced to in any way, so yeah...he owes nothing to anyone. the perfect example of that are those people who claim to hate his work and yet continously go to see it in theaters, multiple times at that. no one was forced to give their money to him so he owes nothing to anyone. and that comes back to this story, even if what he said is true and becomes reality, just dont go see it or rent it or buy it and you win.
-
I thought you guys already reported on this fact months ago, or was it just speculation at that point?
-
...someone needs to stop Lucas. He's made the entire of Star Wars unwatchable, get him the hell away from Dr Jones. Can he be forcebly retired?
-
While he isn't good, is does occasionally produce flicks that have become classics. Come on, no Star Wars movie has been good since that Empire struck back. Beard and Beard have a good history, but I just don't get people expecting them to match the level of awesomeness (when we were kids), that if it got released today, we would think was total shit (but the latest Indy film did just get released today). I'm going to jump ahead in time, and call complete bullshit on the Spielberg and Lucas fans... yeah, they made some extremely cool films, but I wasn't born in 1970, and I've routinely seen much better, cooler shit since ever since.
-
It's called Star Wars and managed to stretch it into a great trilogy, but after that he has continued to prove he was a one hit wonder. It makes you wonder when Spielberg is going to stop dragging Lucas' fat ass around on his successful movies.
-
are any of you really prepared to enjoy it? I mean, what if it is actually good? For a year, everyone on here has been saying that its going to suck, but what . . if . . its . . good? Spielberg doesn't really make BAD movies. He's never really let me down. So why would I assume that this one will be bad? And Lucas? Well, he's just done the same thing he's always done. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that he's doing it again. His movies aren't really good anymore, but at least they're fun-ish. Christ, if it wasn't for nostalgia, none of you would like Star Wars if you saw it today. You'd complain of it being too long, not enough action, whiny main character and bad effects.
-
Lucas wrote the Indy trilogy, American Graffiti, THX-1138 and has advanced through his companies sound and FX tech by 20 years.
-
Why post about GL if I hate him so much? Because AICN talbacking is cheaper than therapy, and at least I can converse with people who agree and disagree with me.
I respectfully put to you that the reason I post about why I hate GL so much, may be similar motivation to what makes you go on a TB about George Clooney being in THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS and spend a while explaining why you hate GC so much. And getting into an argument with Vern into the bargain. Go Gotham! ;D -
So 'cos Shite LeBeef keeps getting employed, he must be a great actor? Well, hell, so must Hayden Christensen - I mean, he got to be in SHATTERED GLASS and JUMPER since the STAR WARS shitquels, amongst other stuff. Hugh Grant made loads of movies in the 90s - he must be a great actor! Shit, how many movies does Adam Sandler have to make before we realise he's only capable of playing the immature, wiseass manchild that learns the lesson by the end of the movie? But his movies make money, so he MUST be a great actor, right?
This is like shooting fish in a barrel. PLEASE think before you post, dude. Because if you think being employed in a movie automatically makes Shia a great actor, let's not let the jury in before we get to see him play a role that DOESN'T require him to be an annoying, wise-ass kid who talks too quickly and just annoys everyone around him.
I won't hold my breath... -
Dakota Fanning will be the love interest.
Brian Singer and M Night Shyamalamadingdong will write it.
THE DREAM TEAM! -
All this shit will be in the very back of my mind come May 22, while I sit there with my forebrain actively anticipating another Indy flick! But that sense of having something very special to you fucking violated is something I don't relish anticipating, and I had to get used to it as the STAR WARS shitquels actively got worse and worse. I mean, who doesn't see the George Lucas name on a movie and think, "Aw shit, I hope he doesn't do a STAR WARS PREQUELS on this..."?
I so, so WANT this to be great, but all early indications show that it probably won't be. On the plus side, if my anticipation levels are low, then even a half-decent movie will seem awesome. -
Even if Indy 4 stinks, they should continue to crank them out. Look at the Star Trek franchise.
Hey film fans... check out this new blog on blogspot. It's by a disgruntled network producer. Hilarious! it's called "thebitterproducer" -
Now if someone could just teach a few of these puerile movie-hatin' fanboy wannabes how to just sit back, shut up and enjoy the movie for what it is (instead of what their 11-year-old mind's eye thinks it oughta be), we'd be fine.
-
O Vay
-
If this movie is good and Harrison Ford wants to star in another Indy, why not stick with Ford? Now, if Harrison is thinking about hanging up his hat and passing the whip, then maybe this would be a good idea. I'm not against it.
-
I'm looking forward to sitting in a theater again and watching Indy do his thing. There's no other movie experience like it.Even if its not a good as the others, it's still Ford as Indy and that says it all IMHO.
-
Maybe the reporter caught George after he had a few drinks. This was at a party, after all. Besides, he's not liable to do anything without Spielberg and his bullshit detector is way better than Lucas'. Besides, all this is dependant on how this movie will be received.
Personally I like Shia but I wouldn't do that to him. They'd be just setting him up to get shit on, as many of the geniuses who already posted here have proven. -
I know this is old news.....but I have been chuckling about chromedome and George Lucas' throbbing money stuffed throatsack all day...
-
Wow, it would be just like old times, when you ruined your other franchise.
-
...is because small artsy films rely on good dialogue and little to no special effects. Need I say more?
-
So I saw an ad on the Sci-Fi Channel for a documentary on Crystal Skulls. I thought they were made up for the movie, but it turns out there are a couple crystal skulls around of Aztec origin. Well, until they did some tests and found out they were fabricated in the 19th Century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skull.
-
IT will take a lot for this new Indy movie to "ruin" the series. Mainly due to the fact that the last two aren't that great anyway. I can kinda see how people overlook how mediocre Return of the Jedi is when they proclaim the original Star Wars trilogy as perfect, genius, whatever. But Indiana Jones? Come on - Raiders is a great, great movie. The other two are just okay. HAve you guys watched them recently? Temple of Doom has its moments but is awful in spots. The Last Crusade is just decent, with its fair share of lameness. These movies are nothing to write home about.
-
Like "Youth Without Youth?" Is that what we really want? REALLY?
-
For people that ostensibly follow movies closely the overreacting folks in this thread appear to have a pretty limited understanding of how movie publicity works and how/when press pose questions that lead to crap like this "news" bit. People (and esp. sites) have to traffic in this stuff because angles about an unseen film dry up when one has been scrutinized as much and as long as this one has been.
Relax. It's not going to happen - and if by chance it does its not going to be Shia playing Indiana Jones for God's sake. Get a grip.
And ChocolateReign don't be a moron - there is a character limit in the subject lines and no edit function. -

I am drunk so bear with me, but I think a lot of what we are seeing is sad. The Clone Wars movie we will get this summer should have been Episode I or II. Indy IV should have been made at the height if the Harrison "Jack Ryan" Ford era. We could have 5-6 Indy's by now. I hope that May 22nd is great, especially since my earliest movie memories were of watching Indy with my dad. But the bottom line is that movies like Raiders and Empire Strikes Back are the exception, not the rule, and it will be very hard to replicate the memories and emotions of those films. . . but hey, at least we have Adam Sandler's Zohan movie to get excited about (ha ha ha)

And now he is going to take over the Indiana Jones franchise? i will not be seeing that horror show in the movies or possibly ever. its bad enough LaBoof is in this film, to have him lead would stick a dagger through my heart. looks like its gonna be good bye indiana for me. please please please please please please please George, do not ruin the franchise by putting it in the hands of such an half assed nitwit. here is a piece of advice for the hollywood 'elite.' stop promomting your boys, and throw some differnt FLAVORS in the mix. lets see some REAL action heroes, not doofus hipster wanna bees who get jobs based on connections, rahter than talent.

I was always worried that this was the angle Lucas was trying to take with it, and that's why he pissed over the Darabont script. Indy 4 is going to fucking suck because of this, let alone 5. It wasn't bad enough he ruined Star Wars, now he has to go back and ruin Indy.

... it's still an INDY movie, but with Indiana Jones being more of a detective, letting some of the action to Shia. I guess it could work with the age of Ford. But we need it to be still an "Indiana Jones" movie and not a "Mutt Williams" movie, a agree with most of the posters on that.

You can't trust conventional reviews with films like this
by industrykiller!
Industry reviewers just don't understand genre filmmaking. They almost always take a condescending approach tot eh material. Either snarking at it as if the fact that anyone would make anything in the realm of the fantastic is an insult to their very being or they praise it like one praises a retarded kid who just put the square block in the square hole. Notice his praise for the Mutt Williams character is Kurt and completely without backup. He doesn't bother to ask if the character fits in the world or if Labeouf is well cast, only that he deliver a lot of zingers, which I think is the last fucking thing any of us our worried about. These newspaper and periodical guys are really too dense to get it. Oddly enough the reviews from regular people on Aint it Cool should be closer to accurate, if not exactly honorable given the level of bias one way or the other for this film.
-
I meant the reviewers praise is "curt"...not Kurt. Although if his praise was Kurt Russell that would be pretty cool too.
-
I looked over to my left, but he wasn't there. I don't think a review of any film can be trusted without Kurt Russell's laughproval.

OH LIL ANNIE WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR FACE?!?! YOU ALL BURNY!!!

I saw that one coming. Ruining one franchise just wasn't enough. Shia's a fun guy to watch to be sure. He's got that loveable geek quality. Just please leave Indy alone already. I want to just enjoy 4 and feel some closure. I'm sure there are plenty more roles Shia can take that'll expand his range.
-
all he knows how to do is milk that cash cow. The man never had an original thought in his head..Everything he "invented" was just stolen and given a different name. Indy is not original..it's just Allan Quartermaine re done!
-
And seriously, they should just make Favreau the National Czar of superhero movies. That is all. So perfect.

Agree with every single point you made. When even your own friends are telling the media they thought your idea sucked, and you're single-mindedly stupid enough to ignore them for FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS, you have to be a world-class moron. Lucas has lost all understanding of what made those originals great to begin with. And as for "well all the kids love 'em", so do my five, six and seven year old nephews. But then they love POWER RANGERS equally as much as the SW Prequels. What does that tell you?!?
It's arguable - just based on the differences in story structure, dialogue, acting even - that the OT is vastly superior in every way to the PT except for the SFX. And the Pt has proven one thing about SFX: all the best SFX in the galaxy CANNOT and DOES NOT compensate for a badly composed, boring plot, risible dialogue, clunky, wooden acting, and godawful characters. Yeah, the background's pretty - but the big bad in the 2nd and 3rd movies are a slow old man (and his faster, more obviously CG doppleganger) where the most interesting bad guy in the trilogy was done away with at the end of the first movie! Lucas KNEW we would dig Darth Maul - which is why his story ended where it did, when he should have escaped in disgrace, much as Vader did at the end of A NEW HOPE.
Lucas has lost all the talent he ever had. Tell yourselves differently all you want - Krack has got it right, Lucas is the problem with Lucasfilm. Maybe if he wasn't so enamoured with his own ego, he'd see that and just let other, more talented creative types write his movies (based on his story outlines) and direct them.
And there's NO way INDY IV will be as good as IRON MAN. Just sayin'. -

Or does Spielberg and Lucas kill her off?
I understand that Spalko has become an instant cult villian, but they actually kill her off in the movie. If so, stupid, stupid, stupid. -
From USA Today:
CANNES, France — "Tres bien."
That is the first review from 12-year-old Pablo Schmit as he exited the theater after the first public screening Sunday of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, at the Cannes Film Festival.
His mother, Cecile Alcais, 38, translated: "It's very good."
Then added, "But Harrison Ford is too old now. Harrison is the hero, but he may be too old. (My son) prefers the young guy." That would be Shia LaBeouf, who plays Jones' sidekick. -

I have felt all along that Spielberg is incapable of making this suck.
FUCK YOU HATERS.
That's all. -
The reviews seem to say it's on par with the other sequels, and that's all I really wanted. ToD and LC are still infinitely superior than ANY big budget blockbusters we've seen since Indy's last adventure.

What the fuck is LUCAS gonna use for an excuse now?
by harrysdeliciouscellar
For years he's said that the press and critics always hate his movies and they would probably hate Indy IV too. Well at last the critics have proved his self-shielding 'theory' wrong. Perhaps now he'll look at his SW prequel trilogy and think, "Oh hang on, maybe my films really ARE just shit after all". Yeah right, sure he will. The bloke has got skin like a Rhino. Stay in the background George and let Uncle Stevie show you how it's done.

You any get this excitement and feeling in the air when there is a new Star wars or Indy flick. Nothing else does it - the fun you get lining up, buying the toys, the atmosphere in the cinema. So don't let wankstains ruin it

Just finished viewing it at a special screening in Philadelphia on temple campus. Absolutely awful. There is a scene with Shia swinging in the trees that almost made me walk out of the theater.
-
I saw it too. I thought that scene was great actually. Hang on, I lied. I just made that up, like you just did. See, I read about Tarzan moment in more than one review already, you ain't got the exclusive. Quit being the sad little attention whore and get back in line, for May 22.
-
and the verdict appears to be it's a pretty damn good movie. Of course there will be those that don't like it, but it looks like the movie is better than the early buzz would have lead us to believe it was. Harrison Ford looks to be in excellent form, as does the rest of the cast. Personally, I'm relieved to hear this news. I'm one of those that tend to get worried when a movie I'm anxiously awaiting get's trashed. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case with this film. I can't wait until Thursday!!!
-
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a good movie. Not a 10, but a solid adventure movie. A solid Indy movie. Does everyone LOVE it? No. 5% of movie critics didn't like Raiders. None of the negative reviews blasted it either. Whew. That is a relief. I am Officially Relieved.
-
What would you like to know? I can tell you anything. Like how Indy and Marion get married at the very end, Indy's hat blows off of the door and Mutt goes to pick it up and put it on his head, but Indy snags it on the way out. Want me to keep going?
-
apparently he knows who to blow in Hollywood.
-
Or we can talk about the two russians being consumed by ants, or Indy referring to Mac as a triple agent...I can go on and on you fucking lameo

Hey fool, I didn't read any of your pathetic attempts at spoiling the movie for anyone, so your last two posts were nothing but a waste of your own life. You're not convincing anyone, if I wanted to find out the plot details I could if I digged a little, it ain't difficult, as you know only too well. Now get back under your rock and continue your breeding with the local Woodlice population, of said rock.

Please google the Pearl Theatre at Avenue North in Philadelphia. Please ask them if they had a screening at 11am today. Hell, give me your email and I will forward you my invitation. The movie was absolutely awful and I'm mad for wasting my time watching it.
-
I'm glad I'm not you then! Poor guy :(
-
AAAAAGGHHH

I'm starting to worry...
-
So I gave the Pearl Theater a ring. No Indy screenings today or at all until the premiere.
Nice try. -
And that is one of the worst films ever made. Look I explained above why these reviews are probably bullshit, negative or positive. The critics just aren't on the level when it comes to geek properties. but you know what, you guys are gonna believe whatever makes you happy.

pisses me the hell off. But I still think the film will be good. Just as long as they don''t make any other project involving that character. The whole idea of Indy's bastard son running around with a sword is such a turn off.

So....I suppose double pwned.

Gotcha. Understood. I am just relieved this one is a good movie! If we have a Mutt movie well, as long as its not called Indy... Speilberg and Ford wold never go for what Lusic is spewing. Remember when he said Indy would be shot on digital...
By the way, INDY DOESN"T SUCK!! YAY! -
the Berg has gone on record as saying he did LC to "make up" for Temple. So...if Shia and Lucas fuck this up maybe we'll get a fifth to make up for that (minus them both, which are minor losses).
-
Have you actually seen it? It's abysmal: it's like an Ed Wood movie that's been painted over with flat CGI. The last twenty-minutes or so take place inside a Playstation 1 videogame.
-
I agree, Eqoks are superfluous, but it could've been worse - they could've been fucking Gungans! Meesa no likey!
Look at the GOOD stuff in Jedi:
Jabba the Hutt - the whole damn sequence!
Sy Snootles and the Rebo Band. Again, preferring the vintage Muppet Show over the shit, overdone CGI version with the fat dancing chick given more coverage.
RANCOR!!!
SARLACC!!! (Not the fucking stupid CGI beaky nonsense, either - the vintage, badass tentacled Sarlacc)
The attack on the Death Star - way more dogfighting than in STAR WARS, and better on-screen geometry - you actually know what's going on and where!
Luke vs Vader - the final battle!
EMPEROR'S ROYAL GUARDS!!!
SPEEDER BIKE CHASE!!!
That fantastic third act, cutting between Endor, the space fight and the Luke / Vader duel - THAT'S how you edit a climax!
Vader: the redemption. All power of that scene lost now we know it's actually Anakin Skywhinger under that cowl.
The original Ewok tune: nowhere near as bad as the new 1997 version.
ROTJ was not the car crash it's often painted to be. Especially not when you compare it to any of the prequels.
Watching LAST CRUSADE on UK TV (BBC1) right now - damn great fun. Hoping CRYSTAL SKULL is anywhere near as much fun as this. And that the women are half as sexy as Alison Doody. Nazi bitches rock!!! -
You called it. ROTS's climax is some of the worst CGI ILM has ever done. The climactic fight we all waited over 30 years to see looks like Frogger on a volcano planet. Fucking embarrassing.
gotham_night, do you have any taste at all? Or are you actually about 12 years old? -
I see they have all the merchandise out, the three movies, ballcaps, and drinking tumblers but the 20.00 fedoras were actually kinda cool looking. yes, you can be indy! i would have gone ape for em as a kid but i'm 50 now. then again.....hmmmmm...LOL!

not only does LaBoof know who to blow in Hollywood, his mom sure does, as Mamma LaBoof is the ONLY reason we have to tolerate his ugly mug. His mommy got him all those jobs.

george lucas is the man who has made most of your lives worthwhile and the beak on the sarlac monster, while dumb looking cgi, octopusses do have beaks and octopuses rule.

i watched one scene in that. like 7 characters where on some planet transport thing, flying over some deset, it looked so stupid and cg, the characters were all moving left and right like they were in motion, it made me glad i never gave the tv show a chance. space cowboys and no cool aliens makes me bored.

Joss Whedon's crap sucks donkey balls. Alwyas has, probably always will. Buffy was the most overrated piece of teen geek tripe ever aired. Angel and Firefly were merely Buffy's inferior bastard step-children. Serenity merely brought the suckiness to the big screen. To his credit, the man is better than David Copperfield when it comes to convincing people that an illusion is real--witness the idiots who'd swear that watching this man excrete a steaming turd is actually the equivalent of an orgasm.
If there is any such thing as pop culture crap that's worse than Whedon's fecal dribble, it's anything that George Lucas has produced in the last 15 years. How anyone with half a working neuron and any sense of taste could argue these points is beyond me. A typical episode of King of Queens or Everybody Loves Raymond is superior to any of this crap by virtue of being only 30 minutes long. -
If you respect that sort of site then there is a positive review there.

The space transport thing in SERENITY was actually NOT CGI. It was mounted on a flatbed truck (or occasionally on a reinforced camera crane arm) with the actors in it and filmed as if it were hovering. Only the shots that showed it from outside, hovering, were CG assisted.
Either you knew that, and were trying to be post-modern-ironic/funny, or you REALLY can't tell CG from non-CG.
Though I am NOT a Whedonite (I preferred the BUFFY movie to the TV series - now EVERY Whedonite hates my ass!) I loved FIREFLY, and love SERENITY. There's more characterisation in one episode of FIREFLY than in the entire STAR WARS saga put together, and Nathan Fillion is the ONLY GUY who could EVER take on the mantles of Indiana Jones or Han Solo and actually make them work. The two roles together = Mal Reynolds anyway. But I think that's intentional - right Joss? ;D -
Let's go see him together. I got nothin' better to do.
-
So - do you like Joss Whedon or don't you? I don't get where you're coming from! Are you for or against? >;D
-
Let's bring 'em back.

somebody BELIEVABLE to take over. Jesus fucking christ Shia is 21 YEARS OLD... And not a mature 21. Last year he was playing a 17 year old kid in a movie because he looks like he's 17. Harrison was 35 when he did Indy and we bought it because he was a mature professor and archeologist. If you do a SHIA Jones movie, it will come across like the first 10 minutes of "Last Crusade," CORNY and lame. Just some dumb kid getting lucky against dim witted vilians (yawn) or out matched and out of his league against men who actually have beards and who's balls have dropped. Seriously, take out the giant robots and insert some coveted archeological artifact, and it'll be "Raiders of The Lost IPOD."
-
You bring her back in Indy V so she can chase Indiana "Geritol" Jones and his young protege Mutt "Mutt" Williams all over the 1965 Belgian Congo with "Che" Guevara.
Time for Lucas to turn "Che" into a movie property. It's just his speed.
Lucas did a smart thing in keeping Vader alive. If he is actually thinking of making Shia the new Indy, he needs a Vader.

FORD IS INDIANA AND HE DON'T NEEDS SIDEKICKS TO COVER THE LEAD ROLE, HE CAN DO TWO MORE MOVIES WITHOUT PROBLEM, YOU CAN TEACH TO ALL HOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS OLD ACTORS CAN HAVE LEAD ROLE IN MOVIES, MUCH MORE THEN YOUNG TEENS!
FORD DON'T DO INDY 5 IF YOU WILL BE THE SIDEKICK! PLEASE DO IT JUST IF YOU CAN BE THE LEAD TO DISCOVER ATLANTIS!!!! -
Shia is the Mark Hammill of today. Look at what Hammill did outside of Star Wars -- Corvette Summer. Some film where he turned into a giant lobster. These vehicles were just unwatchable.
-
Tales of the Gold Monkey and Bring Em Back Alive -- both deserving of DVD releases!!!!!!!!!!

" Why aren't they (french children) laughing at Shia's last name????"
...........Because Labeouf does not mean The Beef in french. It's Le Boeuf. Oh well, sure it's a weird name no matter what!

There's another thing that make french children laugh it's "Shia", cause in french it's sound exactely like "Chia", wich means "pooed"... I think that could actualy makes you laugh a lot... Am I right?
-
Dear God! I want to fall down and pray to Jeebus, and ask why??? WHY????? WHY MUST HE FUCK IT UP?! Whats the point of continuing Indy with a new guy?!!!!
I think the only director who had it right was Francis Lawrence, Director of Constantine. He did what we all would love to do. Kill Shia LaBeouf at the end, so that he can never come back. This should be the standard practice with every film he is cast in. -
until you release 21 different versions of the new SW trilogy (in which they become good films) you are henceforth forbidden from ruining any more franchises that mean stuff to people. why not fuck off and make a sequel to willow, bleed your SW cash-cow dry with cartoons, action figures and cartoons of action figures or spend more time snuggling up to spielberg and hope some of his film-making skill rubs off on you.
that is all. -
I think they're great. I love Lucas.
-
Shia as the lead?!?! Didn't Lucas listen to what Homer Simpson said, "Not quite a hunk, not quite a dork, he's Shia Lebeouf." Seriously. I'm crossing my fingers that Indy4 is decent but the fact that there is very little word on how it is, is not a good sign for ANY movie. Positive or negative there is always some words going around, but when there isn't even any word, that automatic trouble. Hey Lucas, if you do Indy 5, have Jar Jar in it then kill him off.
-
WTF!!! Some please tell me Mutt Williams is a very gross misprint or a very NOT funny joke. Where in the fucking galaxy did some one come up with this shit? Its like a Lucas is not even trying to make good movies any more. Its like he got up one morning and said, "Ah fuck, I need a more shittasic name for a character. Since Jar Jar Bink was just cut from the Oscar's Best Actor list last time around." Is Lucas senile?!?! Damn!
-
as much as everyone wants to hate on the idea of Shia in an Indy sequel, I could actually totally see it happening and, what's more, it actually being fun. I mean, think about it. Let the franchise really transition over to a full-blow B-movie, 1950s-esque version of what the Indianas were 25 years ago. Mutt Williams and the 9th Plan from Outer Space. It could be fun . . .

Mutt Williams and the sidekick Indiana jones and the Riders of t
by brando76
i understand businnes to have young actor in old series to trap new generation and teens target, but, Lucas have understimate the power of commercial stuff. Speilberg, Lucas, Coppola, etc. have build the new hollywood, a new standard in the mid '70, and right now, i will love if they would like to learn a great lesson to all hollywood producers, old actor are not DEADMAN walking, old actor are a great fuel of experience for every movie! and put one of them and keep one of them in the series with the name of his character is the BEST challenge to the movie industry. this is the real quest! Mr Ford is an astonish actor, and he will be Indiana Jones forever, Bogart, Mitchum, Peck, Wayne, Marvin, bronson, Eastwood, are all actors like Ford, can be realistic in their roles in many ways, aged too.
with an open mind, Mr. Lucas an old Indiana Jones can be a great IDEA, take Eastwood the unforgiven + Indy adventure, and you will have a great masterpiece! let Mutt willimas grown like sidekick and only after you can take him in the spin off direction....
Lucas wake up, be revolutionary for real!!!! -
They already tried this with the Young Indiana Jones TV series -- It bombed!
hey check out this hilarious new movie blog on blogspot. it's written by a disgruntled producer called thebitterproducer -
come on people, show hands that had an inkling that Indy was on the verge of suckage. Damn! I was so hoping that the "good movie streak continued," since IRON MAN did a great job. Now its up to the Hulk but I'm leaning heavily on the Bat to hold the "good movie streak" at least a few weeks after it opens.
