Because Nancy Drew and the Legend of the Crystal Skull PC game dropped today you know.
69 dude!! by theonecalledshoe	Oct 9th, 2007 06:16:43 PM
I'm not too keen on this sequel business but it's Speilberg doing his thing... I had a couple of dreams (i.e. sleep) some time ago. One was me all hurt and sad that my writings weren't going anyway and Speilberg was around and I just plainly said "I just wanna get my ideas out." We huddled. Much later a following year whatnot I dreamed that I came across him (basically invading his personal space acting like a I knew him and all) and he said with a amusing tone of "You do know you're going to jail right?"

"I got to chat him up a bit" by BobWalnut	Oct 9th, 2007 06:27:26 PM
...really? Interesting... Been on the boat alone for too long my friend...
We'll be just fine... by MC Vamp	Oct 9th, 2007 06:29:25 PM
"Spielberg said that the way he works with George is he lets George talk for an hour and then says, “No.” " Yeah, we're good. Too bad he didn't direct the prequels...
Aha. by AllieJamison	Oct 9th, 2007 06:32:50 PM
Aha. So this was rather a Spielberg than a set visit. Interesting. Cool that only a few online folks were invited. Not so cool that the little chat was all there was. Still...thanks for the quick write up. Latino Review -Chavez says they'll be wrapping in two days. Maybe that means we'll get a little 20sec video the end of this week. Would be neat. I hope you told Bouzereau to not fuck this up, Quint.
Spoiler? by Toht	Oct 9th, 2007 06:32:57 PM
Abner Ravenwood? Might a spoiler warning not have been in order? Or am I the last person to hear this bit?
The 13th Skull is Shia's head. by Kurzinski Valentine	Oct 9th, 2007 06:34:34 PM
He'll tear off his face Mission: Impossible-style and reveal his skull is ACTUALLY MADE OF CRYSTAL. Then Indy punches his head clean off.
I am comforted by freydis	Oct 9th, 2007 06:36:21 PM
Still worried, but what can I say, Spielberg's a reassuring guy to have at the helm.
looking forward to this the most next year by barnaby jones	Oct 9th, 2007 06:37:40 PM
Spielberg said that the way he works with George is he lets George talk for an hour and then says, “No.” - thats hilarious.
Toht, by raw_bean	Oct 9th, 2007 06:37:52 PM
...you're just the last to hear this. There's been a casting announcement and everything! Unless great efforts are gone to to make some big secret surprise out of it, you can't usually count a 'this actor is playing this character' piece of info as a spoiler.
Fedora actually stapled to Ford's head by Anakin Whoopass	Oct 9th, 2007 06:40:14 PM
Harrison must love the hat. He has it on in all the behind-camera pics we've seen. I thought maybe it was because of the sun on location but he's even wearing it to lunch at the studio. The only pics I've seen without the hat were with him and Shia on the bike because Indy doesn't wear it in that scene.
In order? by tme2nsb	Oct 9th, 2007 06:41:53 PM
This takes place after all of the other movies...
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! by Playkins	Oct 9th, 2007 06:42:27 PM
"...listen to George talk for an hour then say 'no'". That's the funniest thing I've heard all year. I can picture the whole thing.

"But man, that catering was awesome!!!!" by SoylentMean	Oct 9th, 2007 06:51:31 PM
Admittedly I don't know how I'd respond to a movie set, but to give some major shout outs to the buffet means you really don't have that much to say or you were just really hungry. I love this media nazish clampdown that's so rampant these days. Everywhere. "Hey you, journalist type fellow. Come check out our movie shoot. Oh yeah but don't bring any tape recorders or video cameras. Oh, and I almost forgot, if you're caught with a writing utensil of any kind we will amputate your arms. But don't miss out on our extraordinary catering services. They're top notch!" That said you actually finished it up with some information that was coolish in nature. I know I'm looking forward to this Tin Tin project (cautiouslly optimistic) and even Transformers 2. Tell Indy to get back in line for some more HAM!!!!

Indiana Jones vs Predator by theonecalledshoe	Oct 9th, 2007 06:54:02 PM
battle of the whips as Indy goes toe to whatever the creature has (ala temple of doom) Indy beats him and the Predator people give him... a lightsaber. Makes me wonder about about a Wookie fighting a Predator. A wookie would more than likely win.

wadi77: Final cut means... by Anakin Whoopass	Oct 9th, 2007 06:57:17 PM
Having final cut means having the contractual right to control the final content of the film. It doesn't mean it's done or even started.

I would have to disagree with Spielberg on Drew Struzan. by one9deuce	Oct 9th, 2007 07:39:12 PM
The three best Indiana Jones posters weren't even done by Drew Struzan. The three best are the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK release and re-release posters done by Richard Amsel, and the INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM style A release poster done by Stephen Hopkins. I love Drew Struzan's work, and particularly his work on the Indiana Jones films, but having someone else do the poster wouldn't be like having someone besides John Williams do the score or anything. This movie is really pushing it on the ROTLA references. It makes me feel like they are saying "Hey, it's just like in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK!" because this film's story isn't strong enough on it's own. Why is Abner still alive? It's a little too soap opera. Besides, having Abner alive takes away from ROTLA. Now instead of understanding how truly lost and alone Marion is in ROTLA, people will be thinking "But no, her father IS alive!".
This is sounding better and better: Indiana Jones is my hero by Stormwatcher	Oct 9th, 2007 07:44:03 PM
Of cinema. Favorite character of all time. The DVD set came out the day after a deadly storm in Whistler and I was paniced that it wouldn't arrive on the day. It did. Happyness.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE HAM STATION by Pound Sand	Oct 9th, 2007 07:47:28 PM
True Story: Ford really likes the end pieces the best. He says, "the combination of that sweet - salty contrast with the overcooked edge mixes with the rendered pork fat, and makes each bite a sensation." Then, he went back for sixths. Oh, and always stoneground, never Dijon mustard because, "that's for Nazi's." I think he means the actors, but I dunno.

Yes it's Gabriel Gray by Allfather Starr	Oct 9th, 2007 08:06:47 PM
The 'wank in your face' line confirmed it. Although reading that script review he posted, it's actually pretty funny. Sorry Mori, if you did write that, ouch! He's tearing it to pieces.

take off caps lock off TALKBACK by T 1000 xp professional	Oct 9th, 2007 08:33:41 PM
i get the constant idea that you're screaming everything you are writing. It's a little confusing as if your responses are all a result of turret's syndrome..... in the words of Brick Tamland "LOUD NOISES!"
Agree with one9deuce by Jack Colby	Oct 9th, 2007 08:33:53 PM
I think the Amsel posters in particular are the gold standard for Indy poster art (whatever happened to him?) Struzan is good, but the end result is not all that much better than a Photoshop collage, really. So what is Spielberg thinking saying "it's not Indy without Drew Struzan"? I'm also worried that in going back to re-visit elements from Raiders they will forever change (arguably ruin) the perception of Raiders, and that sucks. I'm glad to see Marion back, but hope the other Raiders-oriented plot elements add to, rather than detract from, that film. Plus, there's no way that Indy set in the 50's will feel quite like the others, since those were all firmly set in what might be called the "pulp era". Here's hoping the movie is still a great addition (or fitting send-off?) for this series.

There's nothing inherently wrong with digital cinema/video by Gozu	Oct 9th, 2007 09:08:04 PM
The problem is content. Star Wars Episodes II and III looked fine, the only thing they were lacking in is content. "Once" and "28 Days Later" are good examples of films shot on video that don't suffer for it. The format isn't really what's at issue here and Episodes II and III would have been just as bad on film.

TALKBACK DEATH... by damagedinc	Oct 9th, 2007 09:28:12 PM
Have you ever hung out with someone who, in hopes of fitting in with an established crowd, will try to say something funny but instead ends up having their joke crash and burn? And, instead of letting the unfunny joke die and move on (maybe even listening into the conversation and contributing when appropriate), says even more shocking and unfunny things to somehow justify that intial awkward moment? TALKBACK DEATH, you're becoming that guy. It's okay to move on, you're not being a bad-ass. You're just using caps and being unfunny. I know these are just words on a screen, but no one will ever know if you change your talkback name and contribute something positive.

As if Spielberg would say something like this instead: by Bronx Cheer	Oct 9th, 2007 09:55:59 PM
"Well, you know how Harrison used to run like he was about to suffer a bout of explosive diarrhea? Well, he's even worse now. I swear, it hurts me to watch him get out of a chair, let alone run." Oh, and why do people forget the Soviets were the ones who defeated Hitler? It really sucks that Spielberg is being an ignoramus. Instead of taking the opportunity to correct some false impressions about WWII, here he is pouring on the anti-Soviet propaganda.

one9deuce by slone13	Oct 9th, 2007 10:00:11 PM
I concur with your statements RE: the non Struzan Indy posters. They happen to be the very same 3 Indiana Jones posters I've got framed hanging on my walls. All 3 have an organic look that Struzan just can't quite capture. I wonder if we see Abner in a "flashback", ala the beginning of Last Crusade when we saw a young Indy. I'll admit I'm having a hard time believing they're gonna be able to make me swallow his "return from the dead". I've always been fascinated by the few lines in Raiders that tell us about Abner and his raising of Marion as well as his relationship with Indy. I do think John Hurt is a really interesting casting choice for the role, but I wonder if Abner Ravenwood was a "character" that was best left having never been seen in the Indiana Jones universe.

TALKBACK DEATH part 2 by damagedinc	Oct 9th, 2007 10:04:26 PM
If Moriarty's script sucks, so what? This doesn't make him a hypocrite, he's still a great critic and a good read. Artists and art critics work on different planes. I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan, but I would never trust a single band that any member would recommend to me today, not even Tony Iommi. Lester Bangs was a great rock writer, but his band didn't reinvent the wheel either. But at the end of the day, I'd trust Lester Bangs' word on music over Sabbath's. As for yourself, you can post all the invective you want but I'm sure you've got more to say than that.
OK, TALKBACK DEATH but... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Oct 9th, 2007 10:11:59 PM

Talkback Death pt 3 by damagedinc	Oct 9th, 2007 10:43:30 PM
Yeah, his script is up for critique...and in this case it did bad. No one is arguing that the script is good or bad, but his reviews have been solid for years. I would maybe argue that here and there they've begun to slip a little and when that's the case it seems like the review wasn't a priority. And sometimes he's into a certain kind of movie that I'm not interested in (most recently "Lust, Caution). But he almost always provides a good rationale for why he likes this movie or that. He's a solid reviewer by anyone's standards. This is getting pretty rediculous because now this Talkback is getting to be less and less about Indiana Jones and that just sucks.
More importantly, Drew .... this new Talkback look really SUCKS by BringingSexyBack	Oct 9th, 2007 10:44:27 PM

One last response to TBD by Bronx Cheer	Oct 9th, 2007 10:44:51 PM
I have seen on a number of occasions Tbers offer constructive criticism and he takes it like a grown-up. But leave it to that, then. Criticize his writing. Don't create a smear campaign (as you have done). I have stated many times in the past that I am in complete disagreement with the ethics of this site. I come here for the sparking wit and conversation of TBers such as yourself. I think it is very hypocritical to spotlight other's projects, but when it comes to Harry's ventures into filmmaking, there's not a peep out of anyone here. And there is an unacceptable amount of homophobic and locker room humor on this site for it to be taken seriously. But it's got some entertainment value, and while I don't come around much anymore (probably to the great pleasure of the regulars), I was bored tonight and stopped in. Now please wipe off that cum that's dribbling down your chin and take a pill and go to sleep. (See, I understand you fancy a bit of the penis yourself.) Gulp.

Talkback Death / Gabriel Gray - did Drew tap your shoes at the a by BringingSexyBack	Oct 9th, 2007 11:07:15 PM
Why so much hate for a good guy like Drew? We all know him here primarily as AICN co-honcho, and reviewer extraordinaire, with a curiously funny penchant for smacking down some unruly Talkbackers from time to time. So what if he wrote a bad script? He's a good guy, who's good to his wife and kid. Quit shittin on him already and have some fun on the Talkbacks he generously gives us. Peace!

Thank the Christ-child Spielberg can say 'no' to him. He's probably the only person in the world who can, simply because Indy would be nothing without the 'Berg.

Why on earth by JiveTalker	Oct 10th, 2007 01:17:22 AM
are they making Transformers 2? (Besides money of course). If ever a sequel never needed to exist, it's this one...
Quint, you forgot to ask him the question whether that idiot Tyl by BadWaldo s Revenge	Oct 10th, 2007 02:04:04 AM
...replaced by another talented extra specializing in Russian dance or a scene cut out altogether because of the spoiler leaked to the Midwest newspaper by the kid (despite he being 24-yo) who sabotaged his budding film acting career in the process. Why didn't Quint ask him about the pathetic incident of NDA violation? Does he fear Spielberg's wrath if the forbidden question were asked? Anyway, it turns out Spielberg is a pretty mellow guy. Even though he remains the most powerful Hollywood producer with the ability to decide who gets blacklisted so they can't work in Tinseltown even if a lowly production assistant talks shit bashing Hollywood's favorite choice for "hyena-laughing elitist shill" presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I hope Spielberg teams up with James Cameron -- maybe exec-produce Battle Angel Alita trilogy. Can't wait to see Drew S.'s Indy 4 poster, he's an extremely talented legend. As for the movie, I'm reserved. No excitement. I refuse to see live-action Transformers 'cause Michael Bay is a H-A-C-K.
By the way, I have greater respect for Spielberg by BadWaldo s Revenge	Oct 10th, 2007 02:12:36 AM
...because he sticks to old school filmmaking -- old-school film editing and traditional 35mm film stock rather than go digital. A true connoisseur. I love the analog technology as well and I still miss laserdisc a great deal since it "passed" away 7 years ago. Laserdisc kicks DVD's ass anyway in terms of visual-audio quality. Although I wish Hollywood FX would focus on developing advanced optical effects the traditional way rather than fake CGI effects that immediately give away that "ehh, this is CGI" feel. A.I. was the last film with the aesthetically convincing use of CGI effects except for some scenes with Teddy. I refuse to see War of the Worlds because a co-worker friend called it "garbage".

Spielberg's War of the Worlds by Jaws Wayne	Oct 10th, 2007 02:45:32 AM
Some advice; especially if you're a big fan of the original WOTW, don't put yourself through watching the Spielberg remake. Sheesh, what a travesty that was. I re-watched the original film last week (hadn't seen it in about 20-25 years) and that 50 + year old movie really was so much better as the Spielberg film. I still don't understand how Spielberg could fuck that up so badly the way he did.
Struzan by Laserbrain	Oct 10th, 2007 03:01:33 AM
Yes, Struzan's maybe a little too slick for some and has been repeating himself for years but his work's "not much better than Photoshop"? Dude, he hand drew and painted those posters, of course they're much better than Photoshop. And his design skills have always been, to me, nothing less than consummate. I couldn't tell you who was the better illustrator of the two but I imagine if Amsel had lived long enough for people to tire of his style he'd be copping the same jaded indifference from fans as Struzan has in recent years.

I just read that some goof is making 'Thundercats'. I mean, COME ON. Next they'll be making films outta the ads on TV. And when they do, the US film industry will implode like a dying star. All kudos for Spielberg for still using film and not getting sucked into that digital world of flatness.

Oh, and Talkback Death? We may not agree with Moriarty all the time, but the guy carries a lot of sway around here, and we at least respect him because he's doing something with his life. You're acting like he fucked and then dumped your mom - what's that all about? Unless he DID do that. In which case...GO MORI!

I just hope the action pieces don't suck by Abominable Snowcone	Oct 10th, 2007 09:51:34 AM
I watched "Last Crusade" last week and was reminded again that those action sequences weren't especially original. It's like, "Well, what haven't we used in the first two movies? I know! A motorcycle chase. And a tank! Oh, and maybe a blimp. And Indy needs to get on a horse again." The intro with River Phoenix didn't age well. I find it hard to believe that the young Indy got his 1) hat 2) whip skills 3) chin scar 4) fear of snakes and 5) purpose all on the same afternoon. No.

Cuervo Jones by Jaws Wayne	Oct 10th, 2007 10:00:31 AM
Perhaps Spielberg stuck closer to the book, but his movie sucked hard. It re-hashed too many scenes from his earlier films as well and worst of all, the whole movie lacked suspense. It was definitely not a better film than the one from the fifties. Yes it was ! No it wasn't ! Ha ha.

He said you could sit in the front row of a digital film and see the digital artifacts and you can sit in the front row of a movie shot on film and see the chemicals in the film. The image on the screen could be a static shot of a man that never blinks, but when it’s film and it’s been through the chemical process the image is alive. You can see the chemical process after effects and even if nothing else is moving, the film has a life. So he said he’s still the only filmmaker that cuts on a Movieola, cuts on film, and he’ll be the last person in the world to make a live action movie shot digitally."

Re-release by AllieJamison	Oct 10th, 2007 04:02:17 PM
Slashfilm says: "They had thought about re-releasing the original Indiana Jones trilogy in theaters, maybe as a one night or one week event, but he seemed pretty against the idea as it would take away from the event nature of seeing Indiana Jones back on the big screen after almost 20 years. He said that it is still a possibility and that he needs to have a conversation with George and Lucasfilm about it." Mmmhhh. I've never seen those films in a theater. Why not re-release the previous three films after May 22nd or when Indy IV hits DVDs? Normally I would say it's the task of those people responsible for film programming at museums, festivals and theaters. But in Europe or Germany just none screens these films. I so hope for a worldwide re-release...

Spielberg has agreed to my one million dollar directing fee, will purchase me a custom made Purdy shotgun and a H2 stuffed full of Cuban cigars. And he knows that I don't make a film without my nephew Zomb Maverik doing the score and my friend Eriglione's Mom doing craft services.

Can anyone explain the ham thing? by slone13	Oct 10th, 2007 05:19:21 PM
I mean, I read the article and the part about the ham. I just don't get why replacing the word "ham" into quotes from Indy movies is actually funny. Seriously. I've got a pretty good sense of humor. But this isn't funny. It's just kind of stupid. But not even stupid in a funny way. I mean stupid in a stupid way.

slone13, I suddenly remembered my Shakespeare by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 10th, 2007 05:40:18 PM
Humor is subjective. My funny is your stupid and vice versa and even the best developed sense of humor will be stymied by a seemingly "stupid" joke that others find hilarious. That having been said, oftentimes humor can be found in both repetition and incongruity. Additional ly, there's a bit of a geeky chuckle in the simple reminiscences of many, many lines from Indy lore with a lil' "ham"-handed switch. That answer your question? Now it's my turn, haven't seen this one yet (but may have missed it): "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the HAMS on the table..."
Indy series on HD DVD/Blu Ray in 2008? by roma_victor	Oct 10th, 2007 05:42:38 PM
Hi Quint: Another site is reporting that during the Q&A with Spielberg someone asked about re-releasing Indies 1-3 and that Spielberg answered that they may be released on HD DVD and Blu Ray in 2008 - can you verify that? It would be BIG news for high definition fans if true! Thanks

you've been around AICN long enough to know this is NOT as dumb as it gets around here. In fact, it's rather fun. Much more so than, say, just doing the old "Indiana Jones and the...." for 1,000 posts.
I thought about it some more. It's still just stupid. by slone13	Oct 10th, 2007 05:52:59 PM
Wait, wait. Let me try. "No time to argue. Throw me the idol, I throw you the ham!" Was that funny? Hold on, I can do better. "It's a ham. A ham for speaking to God." Or does that not work because I replaced both transmitter' AND 'radio' with 'ham'? Does it work for any word or just ham? What about 'bacon'? Would that be funny? Maybe it only works on food words that were in Quint's set visit article? Or maybe this is like the jokes in Family Guy? You know, not funny until you've repeated it ad nauseum? And even then, still not really that funny at all? I have so much to learn...

Schweinefleisch of Doom by AllieJamison	Oct 10th, 2007 06:11:15 PM
Apfelwein season is over, finky. :)But gererally it tastes good to Schweinefleisch. And I seriously recommend to serve some Sauerkraut with it. (I never thought I'd really say that.) Apropos Schweinefleisch... I'm glad they hired some actual Sovi...errr Russians for the Soviet parts. I mean...it's funny to watch the original versions of Raiders and Crusade and hear SS officers speak with an American accent. You could say it fits right into the B-movie concept. But it also seems a bit ridiculous. Slone, this is a talkback. Childish insertions of random words that lead to referential lines are the only reason for its existence.
slone13 by damagedinc	Oct 10th, 2007 06:17:14 PM
yeah, i didn't get the ham thing either until i re-read the article and found: "I won’t say that the van full of internet geeks became screaming girls, but the geek-o-meter was turned up to 11 when we all turned back and saw Harrison Ford walking the catering line and ending up at the ham station." Now, it's just hilarious.

Spielberg talked about HD and Blu-Ray Indiana Jones trilogy, but only as a joke when discussing the possible theatrical re-releases of RAIDERS, TEMPLE and LAST CRUSADE. Ultimately he felt seeing re-releases leading up to KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL would make INDY 4 feel less special. He wants the first time anybody has walked into a first run theater to see Indiana Jones on the big screen for the first time in 19 years to be Indy 4. Then he followed all that up with something like "and I can just keep putting them out on DVD and they'll make just as much money! Blu-Ray and HD-DVD versions!" I'm sure they'll be put on high-def and I'd guess they're going to do something like what they're doing with the Harry Potter films on HD release- wait until Indy 4 comes out on DVD and put out a giant collection. That's just a guess though. I hope he changes his mind about theatrical re-releases. I understand keeping INDY 4 the main attraction, but how about a simultaneous re-release or stagger them a couple weeks apart? I can't say how cool it was to see the original trilogy in '97 back to back to back... I just had to block out all the crappy CGI and useless changes... I'd love to see the same thing happen for the Indiana Jones series and I think Paramount would be surprised just how much money that'd bring in.

It's funny because the article gushes about how the principle actors came out and essentially went through a buffet line. Don't get me wrong, if I were in eyeshot of Harrison Ford in Indy attire, I'd pop geek wood, too, but the focus on the lunch menu is what makes this amusing.
