first by TommyShag	Sep 14th, 2007 08:50:11 PM
first
Isn't it Shia la Boof & The Kingdom...? by JackPumpkinhead	Sep 14th, 2007 08:50:16 PM
He's the star, after all!
third by blammotheclown	Sep 14th, 2007 08:52:39 PM
avast!
Agreed by Ravengrey26	Sep 14th, 2007 08:53:33 PM
Something new and ingenious would be a nice change for the trailer...it's been so long since we've had an Indy flick that anything run of the mill would just seem tacky and lame.
Shia gets pissed on by a Decpticon, Indy whips it good by TallBoy66	Sep 14th, 2007 08:53:47 PM
There's your trailer right there.
is the new first by blammotheclown	Sep 14th, 2007 08:53:50 PM
I know that I'll jump out of my seat screaming and do a screaming lap around the theater, out one door and back in the other when I see a IJATKOTCS trailer (what the k3wl kids call it)
Anything with new Indy stuff will be cool... by Playkins	Sep 14th, 2007 08:53:59 PM
..hell, it could be 2 minutes and 30 seconds of Indy grunting one out on the john and I'd be happy.
Whatever it is - by Filmcaptain	Sep 14th, 2007 08:54:02 PM
- it needs to be November, now.
Indy is back... by TiVo1138	Sep 14th, 2007 08:54:47 PM

all i want... by damagedinc	Sep 14th, 2007 08:55:15 PM
i just want solid video of harrison ford doing something other than hobble. if he can run and throw a punch, i'm bought 'til next summer.
it'll probably be in the cloverfield release.. by theonecalledshoe	Sep 14th, 2007 08:59:11 PM
just a hunch.
Will it be available in Glorious Quicktime? by uppercanuck	Sep 14th, 2007 09:03:41 PM

INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE MEDICINE CABINET by Alice Cooper Stalker	Sep 14th, 2007 09:24:01 PM
I'm giddy about this movie and trailer too, Harry. But you just have to have some fun with the whole age thing. Wouldn't it be cool if there was reference to that line from Raiders...'It's not the years....It's the mileage.' Now it's the mileage and the years.

Who looks just like Harrison Ford!!!
Lumpa Doo Doo... Lumpa Doooo! by Pappachubby	Sep 14th, 2007 09:46:28 PM
They should should purposefully shoot the whole trailer(/film) in low def so it fit's in with the previous 3 and then make sure that Indy repeatedly says, "I'm getting too old for this shit..." After every hair raising close call. But, instead we'll get super duper ultra highest def green screen movie with Indy saying, "I'm getting to elderly for this stuff..." After every 'Lark' bumping close call... A whippppcrak with my whipppy tail!
As long as it's not one of those rotten "teaser" things by Yeti	Sep 14th, 2007 09:49:31 PM
Much ado about nothing.
Trailer: don't show ANYTHING by Anakin Whoopass	Sep 14th, 2007 09:50:04 PM
They should shoot footage just for the trailer and show no scenes from the movie. Give me hype not spoilers. Studios need to stop making trailers as short versions of the movie.

My thoughts on a teaser by micbenxyy	Sep 14th, 2007 09:54:25 PM
Shia is a draw for the younger crowd. You show a sequence of him getting his ass in a jam, accompanied by some generic summer block buster music. When he is dangling on the precipice, a hand reaches down, he looks up to see a silhouette in a classic fedora, the Raiders theme blasts from the speakers, and the audience goes wild - cut to black out and the release date. 'nuff said.
It should be a montage of Indy headbutting nazis in the by Kurzinski Valentine	Sep 14th, 2007 09:54:34 PM
face. And then sneak in a headbutt to Labeouf's face right after the title logo comes up.
Prediction by Samuel Vimes	Sep 14th, 2007 09:59:47 PM
Since this'll be the first Indy film in almost 20 years... I think you could expect an Indy "Greatest Hits" montage to be the teaser trailer to re-introduce the character to the target audience who weren't even born yet when CRUSADE came out. Expect a montage of action scenes from the three films to draw the male gaming teens and shirtless Indy shots for the girls, all to Williams' familiar motifs. I wouldn't expect ANY shots from the new movie at all.
It's impossible for me to get excited for this film... by Mattyboy122	Sep 14th, 2007 10:01:28 PM
And I'm a huge fan of Indiana Jones...Everything from Shia's involvement to the rumored Chariot of the Gods plot leads me to believe the powers that be behind this film are intent on raping this franchise.
Mattyboy122 by micbenxyy	Sep 14th, 2007 10:04:51 PM
... but you will be there to watch, won't you? Oh my yes.
I'll take a side order of an old friend from the East. by Queerbait	Sep 14th, 2007 10:06:49 PM
All I want is a second of hearing in the background "Shortie get us outta here!" or "He no nuts, he crazy!", please any sign of our Short Round.A Yankee hat getting dusted off. A bowl of rice. Anything!!! After all, Indy took him in after Short's rents died.

Umm...what? by VegasRon	Sep 14th, 2007 10:20:59 PM
Who cares? Every great movie memory from my childhood has been raped/rebooted/reraped and I expect no less with Indy 4. My ass is still sore from that piece of shit that was RZ's Halloween. When's the Ghostbusters remake with Will Smith, Dane Cook and Christopher Mintz-Plasse coming out?

didnt you guys learn anything from star wars by robamenta	Sep 14th, 2007 10:41:05 PM
I cant believe the short attention span of people getting excited by this. didnt you learn anything from star wars? Lucas doesnt give a shit about making quality. And here you are falling for it all over again

I'll wait until it hits the net.
robamenta by Zakari Paolon	Sep 14th, 2007 10:48:31 PM
Hey bud, To me the huge difference here is that this is a Steven Speilberg film, not a movie from a dude who hadn't directed anything in 15 years. I Know Lucas is producer, but he scares me much less as a producer than as a director, and I still think Speilberg is an extremely talented guy, so it's much more him I put my trust in. Still, it could be a horrible film, I just can't help hoping it'll be amazing. Peace.
robamenta... by MCVamp	Sep 14th, 2007 10:50:52 PM
Yes, it IS Lucas. It is also Steven Spielberg. Munich proved there's still some dark hair on his balls, despite the gray patches showing on War of the Worlds and the Terminal. There's still hope for all involved. Don't bet against the guy who shot the melting face montage in RAIDERS. That was awesome on ninety-four fucking levels.

lucas is involved and gonna make more money off the good will of fans wanting to relive a 30 year old franchise. Sound familiar?? Im not so willing to forgive no matter who is directing. 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....'
McVamp... by VegasRon	Sep 14th, 2007 11:14:52 PM
With all due respect, you have to go wayyyy back to the first Indy flick for an example of badassedness. I'm keeping my expectations as low as they can be.
I just can't get excited about this film. by LoneGun	Sep 14th, 2007 11:17:26 PM
Then again, I never really cared for the previous Indy Jones sequels. The only movie in the series I thought was good was the first one - RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

Return of the Franchise! by Pappachubby	Sep 14th, 2007 11:26:21 PM
Yeah, I get the feeling that MOST of us who even care enough to post on the this talk back do so because we we're all fans of classic Star wars/ Indy and really do hope that they don't goof this thing up royally. But, as with most folks here, I also have some serious doubts. I have this theory that ever since Lucas & Spielberg (& Ford) for that matter have become so hugely successful, that maybe there just isn't the urgency to really kick it into high gear anymore? I also have the sense that to these guys it's just 'so much fun' to be back together and are all like on a vacation about this thing or something. I mean back when Star Wars was done and Raiders, I think the directors we're still trying to prove themselves and we're more lean and mean about the process. Now, they have all kinds of staff to tell them how great they are and all this money to validate that etc. I mean what's their REAL motivation anymore? Is it to make great movies and take chances like they had to when they had modest budgets and studios breathing down their necks? Or is it now just to down some metamucil and let this thing kinda slide out nice and easy -knowing it will be a guaranteed summer blockbuster no matter how good or bad the script is? C'mon guys... This could be the final straw for Nerds and Uber Geeks across the land! If this fails well then... you may see many 30 something ultra dorks tracking down the Ark of the Covenant themselves just to melt their own faces off! I really do hope this thing turns out to be good and I'm wrong though... They really should hire me to go ahead and tell 'em what cool and what's not. But, alas here I sit in my parent's basement. Guess I'll just get back to making my lego castles. SUCK IT GUYS!

The Temple of Doom is WAY underrated in the series. by alucardvsdracula	Sep 15th, 2007 01:53:16 AM
Raiders is by far the greatest, but I honestly think Temple of Doom is a better movie than Last Crusade - and I really love that movie too. Sure Crapshaw does annoy but she's not all that bad. Shortround was ace and the dark indy storyline was just the right side of camp. No its not perfect but its way better than many give it credit.
Temple of Doom very entertaining by MattmanReturns	Sep 15th, 2007 02:12:48 AM
I think Last Crusade is technically a better, more mature movie. But Temple is so much fun, especially the last half hour.

"They've been dissing Lucas since 1997" by Jobacca	Sep 15th, 2007 02:23:01 AM
LUCAS- Star Wars SE Jedi SE Phantom Menace Attack of The Clones... Lucas has fucking EARNED some dissing. Dont even get us started on the massive amount of suck that Speilberg and Ford have produced since the last Indy Movie. I really,really want this movie to be fun and good,but I know it wont be.
In ten years... by BlackIronPrison	Sep 15th, 2007 03:02:55 AM
most of those people dissing Lucas could of gone through film school and probably written quite a few screenplays by now. Right? Come on guys, it didn't take Lucas that long to write the original SW. Alot of you TB people behave as if you could do better. Prove it. Start with an idea on paper and build it into a FUCKING EMPIRE...I dare you. Once your idea is fully + firmly embedded into my nervous system, and it becomes second nature to me, I will perhaps think your statements about this or that might mean something. But, none of that will happen if you don't kindly shit or get off the pot. I will now sit tight and eagerly await all the works of genius that will undoubtedly be flooding into the cinemas of the world within the next decade. Thanks guys. Godspeed..

As I said in the last TB, Ford got this rolling in '94 by TiVo1138	Sep 15th, 2007 03:49:52 AM
...when his career was at a high. He didn't need this. He was also the one who said that he wouldn't do it any later than 2008. And Jobacca, after the last Indy movie, Spielberg went on to make Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report and Munich. All some of his best, one of which is considered his masterpiece. Yet you know this won't be good?

Their's ONE funny scene in Rush Hour 3 by pokadoo	Sep 15th, 2007 05:23:48 AM
...where Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker fall out & go their seperate ways, we see them both alone, obviously missing each other. Can't remember what Chan was doing, but Tucker is sitting at a bar, having a beer and watching Temple of Doom on TV, and he gets all teary eyed when Shortround peers over the car seat and says "Holy Smokes! Clash Landing!". That made me chuckle. The rest of the film was crap, though!
Temple of Doom... by VegasRon	Sep 15th, 2007 05:26:30 AM

That talentless fuck was in the right place at the right time to find some creative FX people to catapult his plagarizing ass into fame and fortune. The end.

VegasRon by BlackIronPrison	Sep 15th, 2007 06:07:19 AM
What do you know about it? You don't seem to have much to add but vitriol and a saddening lack of good humor. I believe even you are capable of creating lasting art, but all you can do is hurl invectives and wish death on stuff and people who don't please your seemingly narrow sensibilities. It's not just about the money or worldwide fame. I'd be just as impressed if you created something or anything that had some sincerity and meaning. So far all you've given me here has been spite.

My idea for a trailer... by Seany-Wan	Sep 15th, 2007 06:28:17 AM
The trailer opens with a black screen and you hear the music they play when they open the Indy is in the map room. The camera pans to show many dusty crates (perhaps the crate that holds the Ark?). In white lettering on a title card it reads, "Many treasures have long been searched for..." Fade back (not black) to the camera panning to show more crates. The music continues. Another title card appears "Some stay lost to history and time...." The music starts to well up. Last title card "And others are to be discovered again...." We hear the music that plays when the sun hits the Staff of Ra. The camera pans to the crate that reads " Property of Dr. Jones". There is a whip and hat lying on it. We hear the Raiders march. A hand picks up the hat and whip. They are put in their proper place. You see the back of a person’s head as the hat goes on. After it is adjusted properly, INDIANA JONES turns around, looks into the camera, smiles and says, "Trust me". Fade to black. Title logo and credits. SUMMER 2008
I don't know why people are worried about Lucas... by dr_buggerlugs	Sep 15th, 2007 06:47:31 AM
Spielberg is still the director and I'm betting probably the only filmmaker in the world who can say no to Lucas whenever he has to.
Villain is probably Iraqi Insurgents by theycallmemrglass	Sep 15th, 2007 06:55:41 AM
Or maybe AL quada - Yawn. Nazi's were the best villains. But who were the villains in the real world 50's ??? Was it russia? That would be boring. Egyptians make good baddies and so do Aristocratic English men! Anyway I have faith in the Lucas-Spielberg teamup - they will let rip to give us a heck of a ride in the cinema - sure, they went off track in recent years but thats becasue they want to do other stuff. But place them in their element they will not let us down.
Is Last Crusade a prequel to Raiders? by theycallmemrglass	Sep 15th, 2007 07:02:41 AM
I know Temple of Doom is a prequel but what about last Crusade? Just want to work out the continuity of Karen Allen's character. If Last Crusade follows after Raiders than they must have broke up twice unless Indie was cheating on her in Last Crusade. Perhaps I shouldnt give a sh*t - just bring on some Indie action!
the nazi's were the best fictional villains EVER!! by RockLobster800	Sep 15th, 2007 08:25:33 AM
just shows you that Lucas and Spielberg can think up great villains-first the Empire and then those Nazi's-and they actually made you believe that some bunch of german twats could almost take over the world (psst-as IF!)! And Spielberg even kept re-introducing them in that Schindlers List thing-I suppose that was like an Indy "expanded universe thing" like those Star Wars books that dont have the main characters in them?

Temple of Doom was much better than Raiders by BringingSexyBack	Sep 15th, 2007 08:56:23 AM

I mean you cant cite the Star Wars prequels with this-Lucas aint directing!! and as long as he doesnt get his mitts on Kaufmans script I think we're grand-although I'll defend the majority of Sith to the grave! However, I still dont think we need this film-I mean Ill go see it and all but come on....

INDIANA JONES AND THE YOU KIDS STAY OUTTA MY YARD! by Cheif Brody	Sep 15th, 2007 11:31:41 AM
I'm certain the new trailer will be very Shia friendly...to get the kids interested that don't even know who Indiana Jones is...and there will be that familiar "Marion's Theme" swell of music when Karen Allen appears and us old fanboys are gonna cream our shorts. It's a marketing "win-win".

...even when you were a school boy Seany-Wan, I gotta be honest - reading your idea for the teaser, complete with title cards and music cues actually gave me goosebumps. Well played, sir. Well played. Now regarding this teaser - I wouldn't expect any footage. The "TOD" teaser obviously didn't, and neither did the "LC" teaser. If you recall, that was all behind the scenes footage of them working on the tank scene, intercut with directors' chairs with all the talent names on it. Either way, cannot fucking wait!

People bash Lucas cuz... by WONKABAR	Sep 15th, 2007 05:02:59 PM
almost every artistic decision he has made since...'82 has been questionable at the very least. starting with, Ewoks instead of Wookies. Luke & Leia = siblings. Vader's face. Han not dying, Ewok-song. "Return" of the Jedi. Temple of Doom. Howard the Duck. Willow. Young Indy. Han shoots first. CG Jabba. Biggs second scene added...but not the first. Luke's retarded scream. "Alert my star-destroyer". Jabba's Palace: Teh musical. Fett's magical antenna. Re-Ewok-song after we've come to love the stupid original. Anakin is a kid...then not casting the one that "just auditions well". Failing to notice that Jar-Jar isn't funny...then failing to act when a simple re-dub would have fixed the problem. Midiwhatevers. Virgin-birth. Killing Maul. Forbidden-love. Sifowhaever. "The power to create life/stop people from dying/manipulate midiwhatevers"...meh. Spending two movies building all this useless crap up only to have it add up to nothing really at the end of the day, and then jamming all the important shit into the last hour of the third flick. Death Star under construction along with newly pressed Imperial uniforms and TIE-fighter soundFX in the last five minutes of the movie. Putting out the originals as two-disk sets so we have to figure out how to trade or Trilogy-boxes at the used DVD-place whilest keeping the "bonus features" DVD...pricless. Sorry, I just gotta work in at least one Lucas-rant a month. Can't wait 4 Indy-4!

I'm expecting some painful, forced action hero torch-passing involving Shia with some obvious, groan inducing CGI, but I'll still go and love it.
last crusade was a joke by Prossor	Sep 15th, 2007 09:22:17 PM
the humor of raiders/doom was sharp witted and sarcastic, crusade's was goofy force slapstick, weak ass villains (guys in fezzes, a mel brooks nazi commander, greedy guy who makes belloq look respectable) while doom had MOLA FUCKING RAM, easily the scariest villain of the trilogy. give me kate "willie scott" capshaw ANY DAY over that bland non-entity blonde in Crusade, at least WILLIE had a fucking personality. also short round showed the rare way how to make child sidekicks likable. not to mention temple's opening started off with a musical, james bondish, a shangai chase into an airplane down to india without a stop, Crusade had some guy who's not Ford gaining all the Indy-isms in an evening. WHAT THE SHIT!!!!! crusade's glum score sucking fucked, gimme Raiders and Doom rousing Williams score any day beeatches. the only real thing crusade has going for it is connery, james bond being indy's father, only here he's absent and they decided to go the sad goofy and whiny old man route. it's laughable when people say crusade is raiders part 2, if anything temple of doom captured that razor sharp spirit of raiders!

You're getting the Indy films confused. When he saw the picture of the arc on the catacomb walls and makes the "pretty sure" joke, that's actually in Last Crusade. So there's no discrepency. (Although to be honest, I'm still wondering what the hell happened to Short Round between Temple and Raiders. I mean, Indy was supposed to be his surrogate father after all.)

Mystery in the Indy titles by punisher5150	Sep 15th, 2007 10:48:30 PM
Not sure I like the new title. Gives too much away. 1st- Raiders of the Lost Ark - What Ark? When I saw it, everyone was sure that the ark would be Noah's boat. Not many people even knew what the Ark of the Covenent was. It created a good twist when you found out that the ark was something completely different than you initially thought. 2nd - Temple of Doom - possibly the greatest title ever for a movie (Big Trouble in Little China comes close). We knew there was going to be a temple of some sort. And there would be doom waiting for Indy. That's about it! 3rd - Last Crusade - WTF???? I had no idea where they were going with this one. the teaser gave very little away, except that Indy would be going up against a big F'ing tank! Great Title. A little dissapointed in the execution of the film, but it was still a great picture. 4th - Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls - Gives too much away. first Indy will find a lost kingdom, and possibly the secret of the crystal skulls, which some believe came from aliens or Atlantis. Quite a bit of plot given away just from that. But hey, maybe they'll throw us a twist like they did with the Ark. Guess we'll find out May '08!!!! I, for one, can't wait!

Memories-Of-Murder - You have confirmed my suspicions by krack	Sep 16th, 2007 02:37:15 PM
This goes out to all of the "Temple of Doom is best" or "Temple of Doom Indy has the best characterization" people as well ... People almost always believe the first version of a character that they see is the "truest" version of that character. They will identify with that character version and all slight differences in characterization in subsequent versions of the character will be an annoyance. I suspect that most people who prefer "Temple of Doom Indy" saw the Temple of Doom prior to seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark. Unfortunately for them, however, most people on the planet have seen Raiders first. And people who saw Raiders first, then saw Temple of Doom three years later (the natural cinema progression), generally believe that the TOD Indy is really very different from the original iconic Raiders Indy - they consider TOD Indy to be an "annoyance." I certainly do. The original Raiders Indiana Jones was a history obsessed college professor whose sole goal in life was to learn things about history and teach them to others. Watch how he explains the history of the Ark to the two CIA operatives - the more he teaches, the more excited he becomes. He's never cocky - "Abner's the real expert" and "I'm making this up as I go." And he's never concerned about money. In the beginning of the film, all he's worried about is the museum paying him enough so he can buy a plane ticket to go after the Golden Fertility Idol. At the end of the film, "the money is fine" but the situation (the Ark not being studied) is "unacceptable." Contrast this to the Temple of Doom Indy. His life motto is "fortune and glory." He doesn't hunt artifacts to learn from them - he acquires them to make as much money as possible and so that he'll receive credit. The Raiders "college professor" Indy is not running around China in a tuxedo. The Last Crusade brought Indiana Jones back much closer to the original character. He's back to teaching (and overwhelmed by the non-teaching aspects of his job - grading and papers). He's not cocky anymore - he tells Donovan that his father is the Grail expert he needs. River Phoenix "young Indy" wants the Cross of Coronado to be in a museum, he's not worried about money. All that said, who do I blame for The Temple of Doom? George Lucas, of course - who else? We all know Lucas wanted Indiana Jones to be an American version of James Bond. And during this same period, Lucas was going through his "let's orient everything towards little kids phase" - two or three years later we got the Ewoks instead of Wookies decision in Return of the Jedi. Anyways, people loved the first Raiders of the Lost Ark (and it's characterization of Indiana Jones) so much that what did Lucas do? He vainly changed things that worked (and the general audience loved) in Raiders to make the movie he wanted to see in Temple of Doom. It's why Harrison Ford is running around in a tuxedo, it's why Jones got an eight year old sidekick, it's why we got the slapstick "Willie running around the jungle while Jones plays cards" scene (we all know kids love slapstick - JarJar Binks as exhibit B), and it's why the movie revolves around saving a village of children and not around the Sankara Stones artifacts. Of course, Speilberg exercized a little vanity in here too - jamming his wife into the lead female role - but I still blame Lucas the most. Finally, in conclusion, identifying with the first version of a character is perfectly natural. It's why my father and I have screaming matches over whether or not Connery or Roger Moore is the better Bond. It's why I love the 1980 campy Flash Gordon when I now know it's very different from the comics and the serials. But I also realize and recognize that there are a ton of people that don't like the Moore Bond or the Sam Jones Flash Gordon simply because they are huge departures from the original characters. In a way, I think this explains my vitriol towards a film like the Transformers. I loved the original Transformers cartoons and toys. I want other people (kids) to enjoy the same things about them that I do/did. But I know that when a movie like Transformers comes out, all of these people who have no idea what the original Transformers concepts or characters were like are now going to identify the concept with with something completely different than I do. There's going to be legions of kids that for the rest of their lives will love the fact that BumbleBee is the "muscle" car of the Autobots, that Megatron is an alien jet, and that for the most part, the robots (particularly the Decepticons) were just character-less drones fighting a war. It's a joke for anyone that knows the backstory of the characters for the last 20 years. It's the same reason I get aggravated at a GI Joe script with no Cobra, a Superman Returns starring an emo depressed dead-beat Dad, a decade of Stewart and Raynor as the primary Green Lantern, etc.
"I want a kick ass "B" movie trailer..." by WONKABAR	Sep 16th, 2007 02:45:43 PM
by Thundercats73.... "They should do it 1930's style. That'd be sweet." NOOOOOOO! And definitely in the movie either. That's exactly where Lucas has totally lost it IMO. He forgot that he was supposed to be UPDATING shitty serials from the forties not imitating them...shitty dialogue and all. And I agree with what one poster said here earlier about Spielberg not directing a good action flick in 20 years. Yes, Munich is outstanding, but I think the key-word here is genre...action-flick. And I would also say more like 15 years, cuz J-Park had some great stuff in it. But the second one sucked, and I'm sorry, but his recent trilogy, if you will, of Sci-Fi flicks just didn't do it for me. Maybe it was just that horrible blown-out photography that seems to have been so "hip" over the years(I swear to Christ, if Indy-4 has that shit I'm not even going) maybe it's just Cruise and the fact that certain kid-actors drive me up the fucking wall, but I think it's time for Spielberg to move on. He's grown past those kinds of films and doesn't bring anything fresh to them IMO. It's like a grad-student hanging out at a high-school party. Him being bigger than it adds nothing. Oh, and that shit that he did to E.T. was ten-times worse than Greedo shooting first. Nothing spells danger like a walkie-talkie pointed at your head. Hey, I'm still hoping that Indy will be great, but that hokey title gave me some of the same shivers I got when I read the words "The Phantom Menace". Man, I still remember mouthing those words as I read them and thinking, "is this a joke?" little did I know I would think the same thing several more times in the ensuing years, and get the same chills...including recently. Don't get mad, I'm only bein' real

the dinner scene, the mine cart chase, "water, water, WATER!", what indy does on the bridge is most likely his #1 moment of badass incarnate "prepare to meet kail, in hell!", and after all that tortured evil and horror he snaps out "now lets get out of here" "right. ALL of us." and the unconscious guard slides across the gravel and it shows indy standing there as the children's savior. oh and crusade had the bloandest locales, utah, europe, and the middle east as a suspciously american shrub desert, heck its even in new york. compared to the first two having amazon, egypt, mediterranean, shanghai, india.

Raiders Is A Perfect Film by skoobyx	Sep 16th, 2007 03:59:01 PM
Almost thirty years later it still has the best opening scene of any movie. Every time I watch it I'm 6 years old again. 'Temple of Doom' was very good but just didn't capture the same kind of magic. I thought 'Last Crusade' was uninspired and silly instead of funny. I'll hold out some hope for the new one but the franchise just seems so neutered from the original picture. Watch it again and I can't imagine you'd disagree with me.

"#1 moment of badass incarnate" = by krack	Sep 16th, 2007 04:10:36 PM
Getting shot in the arm, punched in said arm, thrown through the windshield of a moving truck, climbing under the truck (still moving), getting dragged behind the truck, climbing back on the the truck, re-entering the cab of the truck, ramming a Nazi's head into the dashboard several times, throwing the same Nazi through the windshield of the truck and then running him over. The #2 moment? Unharmed, diving into the ocean and swimming to a German submarine to with the intention of infiltrating/defeating an entire squad of Nazies in order to save his former girlfriend and a religious artifact that may, but most likely is not, be a doomsday weapon. Oh, and if the boat submerges, he's gonna drown in the middle of the ocean.

The Trailer Will Be Great, But Will The Movie? by LaserPants	Sep 16th, 2007 05:00:46 PM
If its one thing Lucas can do very well its marketing his movies. Remember how awesome the Phantom Menace trailer was? And how crappy the actual movie turned out to be? BEWARE, I say. Although it is Spielberg directing, and Lucas did pull and 11th our grandslam homerun with ROTS, proving to me that theres still a spark somewhere there underneath all the neckfat and oceans of cash. Some sign of an honest creative life... Anyways, I think this will probably be a good movie, but the trailer is not necessarily an indicator of that...

raiders>>>temple of doom >>>last crusade by CQuest	Sep 16th, 2007 05:17:33 PM
TOD Indy was more immature. why? IT WAS A PREQUEL! of COURSE he was all about the money and the fame and all that shit. of course he used shortround like chewbacca. he was more han solo than studious teacher indy. goin thru TOD changed the character, he helped all those people, all those kids, he got back to how he was supposed to be. thats why in raiders and crusade, where he is OLDER, he is more relaxed and not arrogant. it makes perfect sense to me. as for the movies, TOD had great dialogue and action, way more action than either of the other 2, and was actually closer to what they wanted to do with Indy. I could have watched 30 more movies of Indy in a situation like TOD, because it wasnt end of the world big. it was just a slice of life adventure. Raiders and Crusade had to be the "huge big final" adventure, and that gets boring. ONE MAN MUST SAVE THE WORLD! nah....i like one man saving 50 kids from some random spot in india that no one else in the world knows or cares about. thats classic to me. more of THAT.
Temple of Doom by ye olde shiza	Sep 16th, 2007 05:54:32 PM
Was the cheesiest Indiana Jones. I loved it when I was little. I watched it the other night a decade and a half, and I found it hard to stomach the cheese. Some people like cheese, and that's great. Eat it up. I like Redneck Zombies a lot, but it wasn't the sequel to Night of the Living Dead, either, and that's why Temple doesn't do it for me. It's comletely different film. No wonder people didn't know it was a sequel back in the day.

I think a lot of people are confusing exactly who the character of Indiana Jones is. The problem with LAST CRUSADE is that he isn't interested in going after the Grail. That is exactly the opposite of who he was in the previous two films, where he was scarily obsessed with acquiring what he wanted. Indiana Jones as a reluctant adventurer, who is forced to go because his father is kidnapped in CRUSADE? No thanks. Indiana Jones as somebody crazy enough to ride a horse after a Nazi convoy to get back the Ark? Yes please. Indiana Jones as a madman who will lower himself down into the Temple of Doom to acquire the Sankara Stones even though he just watched the cult of Kali rip a man's heart out? Yes please.
krack, you got a few things wrong though... by TiVo1138	Sep 16th, 2007 09:13:02 PM
First off, while I agree with you that Indy's character in Raiders and LC is much more rounded and more interesting than in ToD, I do not thing ToD was a kiddy flick nor an American answer to James Bond simply because Indy wears a tuxedo in the opening of the movie. That strikes me as an homage, and I think I see more Humphrey Bogart in it than I do James Bond. Lucas takes full responsibility for the movie being as dark as it was. If I'm not mistaken, the "kiddie" elements were simply added to keep Lucas from going as dark as he wanted. Remember that this is the movie that inspired the PG-13 MPAA rating. The title of the outline that Lucas presented to screenwriters Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Death and the story would start in Shanghai, a year before Raiders and their lost Ark quest. Indy would get into a situation where his plane crashes. Then he's asked by a village to help them recover a sacred stone. That was the basic outline that Lucas had, and they all started building from there. Lucas also wanted a child in the movie, a virginal young princess but the rest of the company didn't feel comfortable with the idea and came up with a 10-year old Chinese boy. The idea of the little boy lead to another idea about a young Maharajah and that to a story about kidnapped children. Spielberg thought the title was too gloomy and proposed the word doom instead of death, which Lucas accepted. Instead of going for the almost suave villains in Raiders, Lucas took the villains from Gunga Din--devotees to Kali, the goddess of death. It was Lucas who was going dark, and everyone else who was worried. All this information can be found on theraider.net. And Spielberg didn't put his wife into his movie. He met his FUTURE wife during the production of the movie. It wasn't a vanity thing at all.

i wonder if the sidekick by LarryTheCableGuy	Sep 16th, 2007 09:59:35 PM
that gets killed in the beginning of TOD was shortrounds dad in the original script and they changed it to his parents being some other dead folk because it would be too dark to have shortys dad being killed one minute and the next minute he's giving some of the best one liners ever.
i do also think that indy by LarryTheCableGuy	Sep 16th, 2007 10:03:56 PM
i do also think that indy changed his views after going through the temple of doom, and matured. as for him not believing in magical superstitions in the raiders, thats just a dumbass mistake by lucas i'm sure. he makeas all kinds of mistakes like that. in the beginning of JEDI c3po mentions that "chewbacca never returned from this awful place" and yet chewbacca enters the palace for the first time like 15 minutes later. but at least in the indiana jones vs atlantis comic he does say he believes in religion, which shows you comic book writers are more keen to the character tham its own inventer. plau lucas wanted to call him indiana smith. what a dumbass.

crusade's origin? by Prossor	Sep 17th, 2007 01:50:27 AM
gaining the indy attributes in an evening is not what i call an origin, this is akin to the star wars prequels of the indyverse.

Star Wars really the adventures or R2-D2 and C3P0 by McBane	Sep 17th, 2007 12:34:08 PM
Without them, there would be no star wars. I always thought the reason they never tell C3P0 anything is because he can never keep his mouth shut. Plus if you look at the characters of almost all the other droids (I consider General Grievous a cyborg) they are literally mindless drones. Jabba would have never thought about scanning droids because droids just aren't that important to be perceived as a threat.
Find the comic... by Atropos	Sep 17th, 2007 01:56:07 PM
I've read the Indy comic about the mayan atlantis-skull. It was really good (or so I though when I was 10, anyway). Anyone out there sitting on a copy, or will I have to dig up mine?
