Gordon Gekko Yet Lives! Oliver Stone, Michael Douglas And Shia LeBeouf Cash In With WALL STREET 2!
Beaks here...
No doubt emboldened by the runaway critical/commercial success of TEXASVILLE, and THE TWO JAKES, 20th Century Fox has convinced Oliver Stone to take the reigns of WALL STREET 2 - which was once upon a time known as WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS. A lot has changed since the project was announced two years ago: the first screenwriter hired, Stephen Schiff (former staff writer for THE NEW YORKER who delivered a lovely adaptation of LOLITA for Adrian Lyne), is out, and Allan Loeb (wildly overrated agency darling who's responsible for THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE and the godawful 21) is in. And if you think you're excited now, wait until you hear that Aaron Sorkin and Peter Morgan both passed on the honor of continuing the saga of Gordon Gekko. Everyone wants in on this fucker.
I don't mean to be negative, but I can't think of anything less interesting than Stone and Loeb teeing off on hedge fund managers for two hours - and, according to this worthwhile script preview from Latino Review, that's pretty much what WALL STREET 2 is. The difference this time is that Gekko is the tragic hero who, after a fourteen-year stretch in prison, agrees to mentor a revenge-seeking trader (Shia LaBeouf) in exchange for the opportunity to reconnect with his estranged daughter. Hopefully, this revenge entails cornering the Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) market.
Gekko is one of the most iconic villains of 1980s cinema. In softening him up (and incorporating the daughter element), I can't help but think they're attempting to recapture the crushing obviousness of THE GODFATHER PART III. Then again, the first WALL STREET was as subtle as a kick in the nuts, so perhaps they're just being true to the source material.

Sounds a bit late for this... But whatev.
First? -
it would open with him getting released form prison, and going straight to his office and working like he hadn't missed a day.
-
I predict that by the time the film is getting ready to be released, it will be titled GEKKO.
-
Anyone else getting tired of this kid?? Sheesh!!!
-
JFC. What's so cool about that guy?
And do we need a Wall Street 2?
-
Just gimme Sean Young and i will watch it.
-
SHIA wants that job too
-
Not LaBeef... Fuck this shit.
-
about Seth(I'm overexposed) Rogen.
Seriously. Enough! -
Can Charlie Sheen make a cameo as Topper Harley?
-
1. This film should NOT be made
2. Shia needs to fuck right off
3. Is Michael Douglas skint?
I fucking hate Shia LeBouf(sp) - he ruined Indy for me. Hope Megatron rips him in half in TF2.
-
First the Flu and then this shit sandwich? God really hates us... specially Mexicans.
-
Nonoonononononono !!!
-
That might work if it was Martin Sheen and the boys from the airline abducting Gordy and torturing his ass for fucking them all over.
You could have Charlie Sheen refusing to participate after he gets an attack of conscience when he sees dear old dad ass raping Gekko who is choking on the ball gag in his mouth and his own tears. Charlie goes upstairs, gets a samurai sword, kills everyone, and sets Gekko free. They agree that they are now even, but Gekko tells him to keep his mouth shut and that his privileges are revoked and to never come back to Wall Street, . -
How many movies do you think theyre going to put him in now?
I offically hated Spielberg after WOTW, now i wan't to hunt him down and cut of his Labouf nutsack of boy love -
Very underrated.
-
How's that going to sit with the 'greed is good' mantra?
-
Looking forward to the tender scene of Shia swapping out Gecko's shit bag with a fresh one while Charlie Sheen does a cameo in a Two and Half Men clip playing on the background TV.
-
It should be a simple story about Gordon Gecko helping out a small company competing in the financial jungle. And it should end with GG getting a mammoth fucking machine gun and mowing down like eight towns worth of people in suits and ties. Then Michael Douglas can go and direct the Expendables.
-
There's no fucking way I'll watch this now.
-
First - can't praise the beef take a year off? Second, again, can't Hollywood come up with one new idea this year? Third...oh never mind...
-
so you just know it will be all kinds of suckage.That was before even knowing how awful the story sounds, ah well they can only go up from here on out.
-
Was he even born when WALL STREET came out? This sounds too much like KARATE KID 4: THIS TIME IT'S FINANCIAL.
-
Seriously.
-
You know the ropes. Shia is their bridge. Spock and Kirk's baby orphan 3 times removed. That's it.
-
When this story was reported everywhere but here. Another win for AICN.
-
...every other sequel/prequel/remake announced in the past week.
-
Coming next year: The Godfather 4 wherein Shia plays a young guido being groomed by the Corleone family. Then in 2011, Shia will Join Robert Redford as a young cowboy, being taught the ropes as a sucessor to Butch Cassidy. Finally, in 2012: Shia will act opposite a Motion Capture recreation of Charleton Heston, where he will play a young believer, being coached by the great one to succeed Moses.
-
Getting sick of him AND the Judd Apatow troupe.
-
Unlike Charlie Sheen in the first flick, a scene with lequeef handcuffed and crying like a bitch at the end of the flick would be the happiest ending ever. Would help make up for seeing him touch Indy's hat.
-
There's no way the sequel is even remotely as brilliant.
-
20 years too late too,sound familar.I guarantee this turns out to be shit.
-
Softening Gordon Gekko??? Nothing could be more dishonest or inhuman. That just isn't how guys like that work. People who have played those kind of stakes always want back in. Look at disgraced politicians. They want nothing more than to be back in the spotlight and powerful again. And an estranged daughter? What a fuckin cliched sham.
-
Fox once again in contact with the current zeitgeist and missing the mark completely.... Rothman has been hinting that Ridley is looking at an alien prequel. I'd be surprised if Ridley even takes his call's after the Kingdom of Heaven mess.
-
He could fuck Bale without a reach around
-
so why are you surprised you are pissed?
-
But the only reason I am even remotely interested in this is because of Stones involvement.
-
As if it was anything other than what we thought it would be, a two dimensional over simplified joke. I'm a liberal and couldn't be more disgusted witht he 8 years we spent living under that freakshow on top, but a good biopic portrays some sort of humanity and just because he made W an unwitting clown doesnt mean it was an honest and human portrayal. And Thandie Newton should be shot for that performance, it was sub SNL spoof bad.
-
...you say Loeb is a "wildly overrated agency darling" but, don't explain WHY. How can he be so in demand with only THINGS WE'VE LOST IN THE FIRE and 21? The reviewers on this site always make little comments like these without further explanation. Obviously, a lot of you have other jobs in the industry, or trying to obtain other jobs in the industry, so, you're aware of these things. But, a majority of us here don't read Variety or The Hollywood Reporter. We've never lived in L.A. or New York and come close to working in any capacity within the industry. Maybe someone should start a column on this site detailing all these kind of things. I realize it would be nothing much more than a gossip/op-ed page about the going-ons behind the scenes, which is obviously something we don't need more of on the internet. But, from what I've read here, on this site, and others talking about movies, the commentators make statements like yours too with just as much explanation. And I can't help but think that a lot of the anger and confusion from some of the Talkbackers and people on message boards comes from them reading those kinds of comments and not understanding where they originate from. So, they make pre-judgments, get fustrated, post their own inexplicable statements, and on it goes.

Michael Douglas should do Basic Instinct 3 or Disclosure
by scriptgirl_nipples
His old, wrinkly arse would look superb in High Definition or 3D!
-
This is bull.
-
It might actually have left me interested.
-
...what makes some Rodriguez doing Predators such a good idea?
-
Isnt there a bit of green eye when it comes to Shia??? What EXACTLY do you all dislike about him, come on and make it constructive... Now the story itself sounds poooorrrr...
-
Opening scene. Start with a pan of Gekko's comfy low-security prison cell. The walls are covered in charts, diagrams and company names. We hear him talking on the phone about killer deals, awesome margins and whatever else these cocksmokers talk about. The camera lands on Gordon who's lying on his bed smoking a cigar. Cut to prison, ext. A black limo sits outside, driver leaning against the passenger door. Prison gates open. Driver opens limo door and GG gets in. Back to business.I think a sequel would work as I would actually like to see more of Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglas.Scene 2. The limo slams into a startled Shia Labeouf who bounces over the bonnet (hood) and off the roof. GG - "Keep driving, I'm late for work"
-
..is for fuckin' amateurs
-
I'd pay to see some of that! Shia mowed down by Gekko in the opening five minutes is well worth the price of admission.This is a horrible, horrible idea. Fine make a movie reflecting new attitudes to greed but don't bring the Prince of Darkness into it and portray him as tired of sin.
-
When the fuck are they going to stop peddling this fucker? He's a shitty actor for fucks sake. He can fuck off down the rode after butt fucking ofIJ4.
-
aged well at all. That's what happens when you get all fucked out from having a hot wife. Word to the wise gentlemen, marry an ugly woman.
-
They were all deeply flawed films with some great moments in them, so I suppose I'll probably see this, too.
-
Yeh, pretty much
-
This piece of doo-doo is churning through Stone's bowels, about to plop like the worthless turd it shall be... yet the Shakes The Clown sequel continues to languish in development hell. If there is a God, he damn skippy needs to pay better attention.
-
And I bet his financials are rock solid. Cast him as Vin Diesel's son in Boiler Room 2 as well!
-
Let alone be a god damn broker!
-
I'm from the Wall Street age (and well before) so if the story is as said then good god it should never be made. What's next Gordon running a nursery??
And someone kidnap shia and shove him up his own arse, totally fed up of seeing him, I don't even rate him that highly, he's just flavour of the month (for some) -
It's just that there are so many BETTER actors than him, why does he get all the parts? Maybe because he doesn't read the scripts? Eagle Eye was a ludicrous piece of shit, and we all saw the travesty that was Crystal Skullfucking.
-
... there lays a laptop computer with Windows Vista, and next to it a bluetooth cell phone. He is lost on what to do, looks confused. Bites the phone gently, puts it down. Looks at the computer. Silence. He looks even more confused. The film ends.

Humpty Dumpty, Drop Dead Fred remake and now Wall Street 2 what the hell is going on

by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead
He is Megan's giant cock and balls!
-
He will skull fuck you!
-
That the only explanation for all this.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
What happened to Oliver Stone? He's really lost his way. His W. film was mediocre at best and an obvious attempt at cashing in on the success of his other president films. I honestly can't remember the last time he made a good film.
-
Almost as bad as the constant remaking of films , classic or otherwise .
Is the trend for making sequels nobody asked for or cares about
-
Wow! there's a perfect role here for Bale as an uber evil exec, who just wants to skull fuck the world and then jizz al over everyone. He'd be like the T-1000 to Gekko's old out-dated terminator, he'd be American and he'd a fuckin pscyho and he'd fuck Lebeouf up.
-
This is wrong wrong wrong.
-
...that LeBeouf has sold his soul to Satan for Fame and Fortune in Hollywood but his end of the bargain is that when he dies he has to give Satan a blowjob for all eternity..... The weird thing is that LeBeouf doesn't see this as a negative.....
-
Get a different young acolyte of GG after he gets out early for good behavior. Set it during the time between the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act and up to the bailouts, where the stuff that sent GG to the slammer in the first movie is no longer regulated. Have the kid be a child of scumbag 80's yuppies who idolized GG as some sort of libertarian folk hero.
-
and walks away scot-free with a massive golden-parachute. The protege becomes the scapegoat.
-
or 'How Gekko Got His Groove Back' or 'Wall Street 2: Save Money With Gekko'
-
Twice the fun! Twice the magic!
-
None. I was thinking about this the other day: there's no serious male leads. This is why The Beef keeps getting so much work: there's no one else. Most of the male leads that can open a film are over 40 at this time.
-
Fuckin' brilliant, guy.
-
...in the ass prison Gordon Gekko can whistle Debbie Gibson's SHAKE YOUR LOVE with his butt hole, has never heard of the internet, and is master of doing business on a phone the size of a prosthetic leg"

- coz I'm a karate man! And a karate man bruises on the inside! They don't show their weakness. But you don't know that because you're a big Barry White looking motherfucker!
well played my man -
'bites the phone gently'Brilliant!
-
Once you have a man with no legs, you never go back, baby. I know what you're thinkin'. You seen "Porgy and Bess"?
-
Based on the interview he gave for this site a few months ago for Role Models, I think this guy has the chops and the intelligence to slip in to a more serious role...it's just that he's been typecast and nobody has the guts to cast this guy in something sober. He has the potential to match a hotshot Charlie Sheen-like character. It would be a gamble though.
-
Notice all three of those belated sequels came out within months of each other in the 1990. Which goes to my theory that some years you get a glut of sequels and bad year in movies. Like this year. Or '03. or '07. It's always depressing. I do have to agree with Mr. Gorilla's comment about why we rag on this but RR doing a "predators" to a movie that came out the EXACT same year is okay. At least Stone and Douglas are aboard. RR has never made a truly great movie. Ever. Whatever. Wall Street always suffered from bad pacing and a squishy structure. Like most of Stone's movies. Now when I see it, you realize all the really great scenes are with Martin Sheen.
-
Greed is good... but what happens when it goes bad?
-
just like his Trading Places brothers in arms until some African prince drop him a stack of bills.
-
THATS A BIG BOOYA!
-
Then cast Shia LeDouchebag, just like Indiana Jones!!!
-
THE PROMOTION's on Cinemax this month. That shows SWS in a nice change from the Stifler-type roles he usually plays. Good little movie, too.
-
You can rip on him and make jokes, and true, he is a bit over exposed in "blockbusters" but he did save Indy 4 from total destruction by bringing some much needed energy to the screen. Not sure why everyone hates him so...oh wait! This is Aint it Bitch About it news!
-
This will fail so miserably. Wall Street is pure gold, pure perfection. Nothing can ruin the original, even if they make a "sequel" with Shitty LeSwine in it. I'm kind of shocked and disappointed Douglas agreed to do it, though.
Do you really think the original was over the top? Excepting the climax, I thought the movie was paced very well, taking its time fleshing out every character fleshed fully - especially Martin Sheen's. They (including Oliver Stone) seriously don't make movies like this anymore - it was the perfect story/script/cast & their performances. -
The absolute beauty and pinnacle of brilliance of Wall Street lies in the dialogue. The Boiler Room tried to emulate it, but by doing so it relegated itself to being an inferior wannabe. No screenwriter, least of all the current Stone, could possibly live up to the dialogue in the original. Even if they came close, you'd need a far superior actor than Shia to deliver it. I cringe at the thought of this sequel, but hey, it's Fox's money.
-
No? Screw you guys.
-
Yep yep!
-
Gordon Gekko: "That's amateur bullshit."
-
"It's off the menu. Louis will make it for you, and buy a new suit"
-
... FROM ONE PERCEPTION TO ANOTHER"
I doubt any Hollywood hack working today could've come up with that limo scene, let alone a whole fucking movie. -
...Douglas' Krystal Skull...or something...
-
Pretending that he's an awful actor is just as ludicrous. Time to rotate the tires, chumps.
-
Okay, convince us. Name 3 great Shia performances.
-
But Hollywood has no love for Christy Carlson Romano. She was the true star of Even Stevens. And hot as hell.
-
I'll pass on this piece of shit!
-
Apr 29, 2009 10:35:08 AM CDT
OKAY, OKAY! HOW ABOUT JUST 1 GREAT SHIA PERFORMANCE?
by bringingsexyback
-
You're a man of impeccable taste!
-
if halfway through the film Michael Douglas transforms into a rampaging Trump Towers. Box office gold!
-
I didn't say Shia was a master thespian. I said the hatred for him has gotten old and it's ridiculous to call him a terrible actor.
To try to claim that movies like Transformers or Crystal Skull were bad on account of Shia's acting is simply incorrect and a perfect example of not being able to see the forest for the trees. -
Coming soon: unnamed remake and as-yet-untitled remake.
-
A fat little kid named Rudy or something? Whats with the estranged daughter shit? They're missing a great opportunity to cast Jonah Hill as the fat son all growed up. Hilarity will ensue, believe me.
-
That's cool. I actually liked Shia in Eagle Eye. We shouldn't bicker about such trivial things. We should instead spread the Good News. Which is: http://www.aintitbalenews.com/believe.html
-
come on, already, Hollywood!
-
The Two Jakes is actually a great movie. So, is The Color of Money. I know Beaks didn't mention that one, but it fits the theme.That said I still don't believe 2009 Oliver Stone can successfully pull of a sequel to Wall Street, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.
-
His hair is already slicked back. Already a fast talker. Plus a lot of these wall street guys are little runts to begin with. Ever read "Wolf of Wall Street?" A lot of those guys were the same age. But softening up Gordon Gecko? I say nay. It would be much better if he hadn't changed at all and is looking to exploit whatever opportunity he's got.
-
However, Oliver Stone is no Martin Scorsese, and I love Stone's earlier work. Unfortunately, he has been striking out left and right. I keep on hoping for a return to form, but it looks like it just won't happen.
-
Is as insane, cruel, despicable and destructive as what has happened in the banking, finance, mortgage industries in real life. My friends, we have been witness to the GREATEST TRANSFER OF ASSETS (that's 'Theft') IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
We will all be dead and buried before the truth about what has happened in the past 12 months comes out.
And Hollywood gives us Gordon Gecko? And Shia TheBeef? -
no no no no more Shia! Seriously, what is it with this kid? How many peepee's has bulbous beak smootched anyway?
-
thinks this idea licks balls.
-
A sequel to Wall Street with a decrepit do-gooder Gordon Gekko who is trying to mentor Shia Lebeouf and NO Bud Fox? Why?
-
Gordon Gekko corrupts an innocent little robot to do his insider trading.
-
Fucks that about? And where's Sheen dammit? I would have been slightly more interested in this.Slightly.

Seems like that story would work for Bud Fox but not Gekko
by dougmckenzie
I wonder if they came up with the story, then couldn't get Sheen but got Douglas, so decided to transfer the personalities. Having Gekko be apologetic about what he did in the 80s would lessen the impact of the character in the original.

From Revenge of the Fallen to Revenge on frozen orange juice concentrate. What's that joke about Shatner trading in the Enterprise for a buick on TV? -
and learn to love Shia. He's here to stay. And really, he's not so bad. I actually think he was the least bad part about that movie that raped our friend Indy.
btw, that was an entertaining read Beaks. -
HOLY SHIT! I just IMDBed Oliver Stone and noticed he is producing Medellin! I mean, of course, they're calling it 'Escobar,' but still. WTF. 'Cause it worked out so well for Vince?!
-
I wonder if Gekko bends Shia over a copier machine and teaches him about "hostile takeovers"-- "Blue Horseshoe loves Anal Penetration!"
-
If only Shia was the ONLY thing wrong with Indy 4. I dare to dream....He was actually not too bad except for that Tarzan bullshit. George Lucas on the other hand.....sigh
-
I've actually liked more Shia movies than I've disliked or didn't care about. Now if someone comes on here and mentions George Lucas' involvement...cue: nausous sensation.
-
It would be more interesting to do a fictionalized story on the players and events going on on Wall Street in the last four years actually. This is a missed opportunity.
Pls take a look at Safety Geeks: SVI online at http://www.koldcast.tv/video/forked_up -
Was that it was lucky enough to open around Black Monday back in 1987 (Stone states as much on the Wall Street DVD). It was ahead of the curve/topical, and that's what helped make it successful. Jumping on the economic downturn bandwagon now is risky because everything may be fine by the time Wall Street 2 actually comes out.
-
I believe the character of Gekko was loosely based on Michael Milken. In that vein it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to believe that when Gekko is released from prison he goes good and becomes the hero. Everybody loves a good redemption story. Also, like everybody else I believe Stone should ditch Shia. It just doesn't fit. My suggestion would be to get Barry Pepper and make him a hot shot investment banker dbagg who goes up against Gekko.

Look at whats going for news here lately folks..Wowie ...Hollywood is really digging the bottom of the barrel for your hard earned cash..Fight back .. demand better.
don't patronize this reworked drivel..Theres still plenty of good material out there but Hollywood still wants to repackage its tried and true formulas that everyone has swallowed for years.
Remakes no way....Sequels maybe..
New material definately..If you keep going to see tripe they will keep cranking it out.. -
You know you'll go see it=

Also while I'm at it remember History and how it repeats itself
by mr dark
Here we are again it's like the fifties all over again..Hollywood to lure people away from their T.V.s starts churning out Cinescope and 3-d to get the seats filled up. So here comes Hollywood again having a hard time coming up with story lines better than what T.V. is putting out (Lost. The Wire,Sheild,Sopranos,Battlestar Galactica..the list gos on..Put that together with what most of the times can be a hellacious experiance called "movie going"
with screaming babies and mouthbreathers of the lowest sort.
It has been tough on Hollywood with the advent of the Home Theater to get people back in the movie going seats..I know some will say that each year Hollywood keeps making more and more money so things must be good..Wrong its like Shit..Millions of flies love it so it must be good..I hope something good comes of all ilk that passes for entertainment thes days..There is only a handful of true talented individuals left out there to save the industry before it goes straight to mediocraty.. -
How does this idiot keep landing all these plum roles? He has to be the most inexplicable success story I have ever seen.
-
film would be met with excitement and anticipation, post-Platoon - JFK, The Doors, Natural Born Killers. Now its, oh yeah, whats he up to..? A sequel to a 20 year old film? Yaaaawwwwwnnnn.

What's with all this about Gecko not understand small mobile phones, blue tooth earpieces, YouTube, Vista and the like? Have you seen what a minimum security prison looks like? They've got internet access, phones, their own clothes sometimes. Gecko would need about two days for an intensive Vista/Office 2007 catchup seminar and he'd be back on course to fuck us all over AGAIN.
-
The movies that featured him: Holes, Distubia, Trans1, Indy4, Eagle Eye. Just those 5. Totalled almost 900 million in the US alone. He had to carry Disturbia and Eagle Eye all on his shoulders (no presold book, franchise, toy,etc.), and they made almost 200 million together. And what do you think Hollywood sees when they see his name...$$$$ And remember, he JUST turned twenty one. He's a good actor, not great mind you. I doubt if he'll ever hear the words "The Oscar goes to..", but for what he is, he's fine.
-
"you can (I assume you meant CAN'T) say or write things like that without consequences"? Have you watched Fox News lately (or even MSNBC at times)? What he said is fairly tame compared to what members of the British parliament shout at one another. Now, if he said it to Geithner's face, it might be a different story.
-
His 10-20 should be up by now, no?
-
You are quite right my friend, and it is no surprise your comment went ignored by all the TBers, cause they're all dopes who don't really care about anything more than saying something sucks, or something's awesome. But more to your point, all Beaks knows is that the guy is an agency darling. This is what he hears and/or reads, but no one knows WHY the guy is an agency darling. I mean, yeah, some people somewhere have some idea, maybe the ones employing the hack, maybe not. Point is, no one knows exactly why some writer is in favor over another, but it's all flash in the pan, they have their moment in the sun, and then fade, like they all do. They'll still bounce around and make a decent living, but they're workmen at best, not true writers or creative types, but rather, guys who are good in a room, and good at integrating terrible notes from people even less creative than the hack writer. Studio execs went to business school, they don't know shit about movies. Listen, I'm in the industry, and I don't know why anything happens, it just does. Why was Ehren Kruger the hot writer for a year or two? Who the fuck knows? Who says which starlet is going to get all the roles from out of nowhere? Who knows, it may be like David Lynch surmised in Mulholland Drive, a midget in some dark room saying "this is the girl." Cause that is how it happens, in a dark bubble where no one knows shit.
Anyway, what's the use? I get your frustration TopHat, I share it, but Beaks is a nobody, just like I'm a nobody, just like you're a nobody. And as we have just deduced, nobody knows anything. -

I was about to kick Beaks in the head for hatin on the very interesting ' 21 Grams' but apparently there's another movie just called '21'. Ha! now I remember! As for Wall Street 2... well, hell, if Stone thinks there's a story to be told, let him give it a shot. Could be interesting, with the right confluence of actors and material.
-
I kind of figured most of it was because of the suffocating press and that it would have faded since Zac Efron's on every magazine right now but nope...the hates still strong on this talkback. I like him. He's pretty talented and in terms of personality there aren't that many like him. It's not like he has to just stare lustfully like Robert Pattinson did, nope he had to be more interesting than that.

Burn in a fire and get raped...and shut you fucking hole

geeze louize! hahahahha. he should do major league too. he sucks so hard.
-
I was aware that there would be a sequel, but I thought Ain't it cool threw Shia Lebeouf in there to be funny. Oh well. I didn't see the first one and I won't see this one.
-
I am disenchanted with Lucas' films because of the prequels and Indy. All of those movies had a couple of good ideas and some good moments, but for the most part were disappointing. The prequels were disappointing because of the acting, which is surprising given some of the actors in it. I do like Ep 1 and 3 better than Return of the Jedi, but I just think that Lucas is trying to make movies that he would have wanted to see as a kid, only with better effects but not the better acting. It seems he wanted wooden performances in the prequels. I just didn't get it. Acting has come a long way since then. As far as Crystal Skull, I think he went too sci fi with it(Fuck you SiFi channel. That's a dumb abbreviation for science fiction) I have no problem with Indy being supernatural, but sci fi was a stretch. I am curious to hear what your take on Spielberg's contribution to the suckiness was, other than letting it happen. Not arguing mind you, just interested in your view on it.

Actually it makes no difference whether you say it in person

As a person who has been threat assessed by the Secret Service, trust me, they will not care that it was posted on the internet or not. The "they say worse in British Parliament" is pretty much the definition of "irrelevant". Whether they take legal action or not, (and its highly unlikely they would) that's another story.
