You guys were all over this one!
NO SMALL THANKS TO ME by Proman1984	Feb 14th, 2008 01:36:10 AM
For posting the link ;)!
WOW! by Canada's King	Feb 14th, 2008 01:36:33 AM
He's really back!
This will be AN OLD SCHOOL AWESOMNESS by Proman1984	Feb 14th, 2008 01:36:41 AM
Can't wait... till tomorrow.
Awesome by malakori	Feb 14th, 2008 01:37:21 AM
i can't wait
I'm still by CeeBeeUK	Feb 14th, 2008 01:37:57 AM
not convinced! :(
Awesome! by zebra	Feb 14th, 2008 01:39:22 AM
I saw all three movies on opening day, I will be damn sure to have my ass in a seat on May 22! Can't wait to see the trailer in Hi-Def!
Hell yes. by silentbobfan	Feb 14th, 2008 01:40:35 AM
Hell yes. Hell yes. Hell yes.
Oh Yes. Oh Yes Indeed. by Kefrif	Feb 14th, 2008 01:41:17 AM
Now this I like. Indiana Jones back in action baby!!! Roll on the HQ versions!
Wow by ryanpat	Feb 14th, 2008 01:41:21 AM
I thought that was an impressive trailer. It had a good build up with a satisfying sneak at the movie. Just watching, and maybe it's just the bootleg quality, but the video looks so old, and so unlike how contemporary movies look. But again, that could just be the quality of this boot-leg. We'll see tomorrow.
I Am So Completely Sold On This by spiderinside	Feb 14th, 2008 01:43:03 AM
As if there was ever any doubt. I cannot wait to see what ungodly amounts of awesomeness await us in this flick. "I thought you were a teacher..?" "Part time." Brilliant!!!
You don't see people swinging on shit anymore by caruso_stalker217	Feb 14th, 2008 01:43:09 AM
Welcome back, Indy!
chills by mintoncard	Feb 14th, 2008 01:43:47 AM
It's been a long time since I got chills watching a trailer. Nostalgia never felt so good.
Creepy Thin Man by caruso_stalker217	Feb 14th, 2008 01:46:54 AM
Those long subject lines are a bitch, huh?
FRIENDLY ADVICE GUYS - WAIT FOR THE REAL THING by Proman1984	Feb 14th, 2008 01:47:00 AM
Just wait a couple of hours. I know I posted the link but I really don't want you to ruin this cool Indy moment for yourself by watching in crapppy quality.
I was worried until almost half way through by Gwai Lo	Feb 14th, 2008 01:48:28 AM
It was like that Terrence and Philip movie trailer from South Park, all big exciting intertitles
Fuck yeah!!!!! by Gabba-UK	Feb 14th, 2008 01:48:46 AM
Wow!!! Fuck you naysayers! bet you all going to be asking Lucas to give you a rim job before anally raping you this time!!!! Indy is back baby!!!!
How many times... by Brians Life	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:00 AM
...have I in the past year seen an AICN headline within minutes of it appearing in the Talkbacks. Watch it if you wanna.
That's a nice-quality bootleg. by tonagan	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:22 AM
Did Jerry Seinfeld tape that?
Fuck Yes. by jimmy_009	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:24 AM
What more needs to be said?
For a bootleg... by caruso_stalker217	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:25 AM
...the quality was surprisingly decent. Usually you watch a bootleg and the camera is always tilted 30 degrees or somebody's head is in the way.
idk by ClockWorker	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:37 AM
that was pretty scary to me. That looked way over the top. They had him jump on to a moving car swinging from the whip and had him falling through a windshield, delivering a line, and then kicking the guy out. Speilberg had stated that this film was just for the fans, maybe he went over the top with the cheesiness for the fans too.
Saw that yesterday (!) in front of JOHN RAMBO by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:42 AM
as the flick is called over here. And that Indy trailer FUCKING ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good teaser trailer by RAVENL0RD	Feb 14th, 2008 01:49:45 AM
The music is what truly made this trailer a blast though. There wasn't anything revealed about the plot though. It was all action and that's all it needed to be for a teaser.
Gotta say.... by Brians Life	Feb 14th, 2008 01:50:25 AM
That LOOKED like a fucking Indiana Jones movie. FUCK YEAH!I was lumping this into the "over the hills" along with Rocky and Rambo...but than I just realized something....this is a Speilberg/Lucas FUCKING Indiana Jones movie!?!?!?! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
Harrison Ford.... by Brians Life	Feb 14th, 2008 01:51:13 AM
He looks Old. But dammit, he STILL looks like Indiana Jones. I'm confidant, here's hoping the script doesn't SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
"Damn, I thought that was closer." by cptrios	Feb 14th, 2008 01:51:39 AM
Yeah, the tone definitely looks more "Crusade" than "Raiders." But that's alright with me...I know there's a lot of Last Crusade hate out there, but it came out when I was six and is therefore the one I grew up with. Sure, seeing the trilogy late in life I accept Raiders as the better movie...but I never won't love the Last Crusade.
I still find the fact that they're making a 4th Indy bizarre by Gwai Lo	Feb 14th, 2008 01:51:54 AM
It would be like another Back to the Future or Man With No Name flick. The original trilogy was well rounded, part of me kind of wishes they left it as is. But this looks fun.
Oh yeah...about the trailer... by sonnyfern	Feb 14th, 2008 01:52:28 AM
I wasn't excited about this movie..I love Speilberg, love Indiana Jones, love Harrison Ford...but I was just like.."eh".. ...until now. I can't wait for May to get here..
Is Cate Blanchett supposed to be Darla from the Little Rascals? by tonagan	Feb 14th, 2008 01:53:06 AM
That wig might get distracting. That's my only nitpick.
this is will be the biggest movie of the year... by JimmyJoe RedSky	Feb 14th, 2008 01:54:39 AM
... and the longest remembered this summer - it looks to me like George and Steve knocked it outta the park - i mean it really looks good, it fits well with the rest - im surprised it was made so quickly - when was the start date on shooting - i guess the fx and score are being worked on now - the turnaround time was fast - but man, this looks great - Indy going through the windshield had me laughing - then elbowing those ruskies - he still kicks ass - tough old bastard - even Shia Labeauf (sp?) looked cool - cant wait
I'm suddenly eight years-old all over again! by cuckoo's indian	Feb 14th, 2008 01:54:41 AM
I knew it would start with old footage, then the hat, then the music...we all knew it would and must be that way...and yet I had no idea how excited it would actually make me feel. Woo hoo!!!! Let the nostalgia wash over me like rain!!!
WOW by Bosch Fawstin	Feb 14th, 2008 01:55:12 AM
That looks REALLY good, cannot Wait!
caruso_stalker217 by board shitlez	Feb 14th, 2008 01:55:25 AM
That is very true - people don't swing on stuff in action films now. In the angst ridden world of Bourne and the new Bond, the modern action hero cannot take the risk of ending up just a little bit away from the point he actually started from, then a little bit off where he wanted to be, and finally just hanging motionless from a rope. Getting shot.
Completely just jizzed geek-sperm all over by gotilk	Feb 14th, 2008 01:55:41 AM

Oh Yeah THAT WAS SWEET by dreamwriter1888	Feb 14th, 2008 01:56:59 AM
I grew up watching the Indy movies with my Dad, same with favorites like Rocky, and the Die Hards. And just the same as we did with their most recent sequels, we will be their opening weekend to enjoy this new addition to one of the most classic series ever made. Man...movies are great! :)

Pretty good. by i_am_PETER_VENKMAN	Feb 14th, 2008 01:58:36 AM
Like that it didn't show too much. Fingers crossed this doesn't destroy my childhood memories. Also, can the goddamn Be Kind Rewind ad not shake while I'm watching Indy??!?

Spielberg is back BITCHES!
Over rated by Dancingforever	Feb 14th, 2008 02:03:34 AM
90% nostalgia, 10% substance. What in this looks that great? 10 years ago this would have been more interesting but now it becomes a sad death blow to a once great franchise. Let me go on record and say this will be teh suck.
BIG thanks to Proman1984 by conspiracy	Feb 14th, 2008 02:04:22 AM

no by ClockWorker	Feb 14th, 2008 02:04:37 AM
the stunts were perfect in RAIDERS, you remember the beginning when it was a big deal for him to jump over a gap that was a couple feet wide. he just jumped through a windshield of a moving truck but I have no doubt it will be good
Yeah, definitely feels more CRUSADE than RAIDERS by Doc_McCoy	Feb 14th, 2008 02:05:37 AM
I hope they don't go overboard with the one-liners and the CGI.
If Lucas was twat for holding this up for years.... by Gabba-UK	Feb 14th, 2008 02:06:26 AM
and it turns out to nut rockingly great (admittedly with Speilberg reigning him in) because he wasn't happy with it till now, then all I'm saying is Lucas is going to get mucho love round here because geeks can be very unforgiving till someone gives a them a cinematic rim job such as this trailer and then its all 'Fuck me now!!!'...... fuck I'm beginning to sound like Harry's Blade II review! I need to have a shower because now I feel dirty and not in a good way.. damn
Looks Fantastic by Monkeybrains	Feb 14th, 2008 02:09:20 AM
When does that guy on here who slows down the trailer and dissects it frame by frame and can then judge whether or not a 2+ hour film is good by a 30 second clip show up?
man that looks great by prunkhaft	Feb 14th, 2008 02:10:06 AM
up until shia ladouche shows up. In twenty years he'll be remembered as a joe piscapo figure, alot of money goes in, none comes out. And why throw Indy into that long failure?? I mean Christ, anyone who thinks that shia the poof is going to be a bankable addition to this series and not a complete distraction is a fool. i'll put money on it.
Don't suck each others dick just yet.... by conspiracy	Feb 14th, 2008 02:10:18 AM
remember how Kickass,Kewl,Bad Ass, and Sick the trailers were for the prequels? Lucas is the worlds best snake oil salesman...and knows exactly which imagery to put in his teasers, posters, and trailers to get the fanboys wallets loosened up. Sure it looked fun, and it looked very Indy-ish...but I refuse to get excited about anything Lucas touches...if I walk out of the theater with a smile after seeing this..then I'll be the first to say it was good.
one word: by Holgi65	Feb 14th, 2008 02:12:52 AM
Goosebumps
Silly film by Darth Fart	Feb 14th, 2008 02:13:53 AM
Wait till you see it! It's nothing like Raiders :(
Are we going to get a lot of wide shots... by caruso_stalker217	Feb 14th, 2008 02:14:41 AM
...when the stuntmen are onscreen, or they hide their faces a little so we're not supposed to know that they aren't the real actors? That would be awesome.
thanks conspiracy, as long as you approve by prunkhaft	Feb 14th, 2008 02:14:45 AM
and no, I don't remember any of the prequel trailers being "kewl". I do agree though that just cueing the iconic music does not mean we're in for another Temple. I wish Lucas knew how to cut movies as well as his company cuts trailers.
uh... by redkamel	Feb 14th, 2008 02:15:35 AM
uh, was I the only person NOT to be excited by the trailer? It looked like it had a lot of CG, I didnt like the sets, and the swing into the car with the wisecrack was really bad...he isnt spiderman who makes comments while fighting, he usually just makes a frowny face when things go bad in a fight. Cmon Steve, at least watch the original movies.
Wait a tic... by SebastianHaff	Feb 14th, 2008 02:15:56 AM
Was that a little Brian Tyler score at the beginning? Sounded exactly like him. Why would you put anyone else's music in a trailer though when you have John Williams? Admittedly, Brian Tyler kicks all sorts of ass. I'm just saying.
"We're going to have to watch that again..." by PirateEmery	Feb 14th, 2008 02:19:09 AM
Oh. My. God. In the immortal words of John Locke, "We're going to have to watch that again..."
and joeelliot is an asshole by prunkhaft	Feb 14th, 2008 02:19:39 AM
apples and oranges bro. We used to have Reitman and now we have Apatow. We used to have Akroyd, now we have Rogen. We used to have Ford, now we have old Ford. Good trade? Who knows, but you aint entitled to shit. Just be glad the whip is cracking again.
Raiders vs. Crusade by hamster factor	Feb 14th, 2008 02:23:36 AM
If you guys are going to hold this up to Raiders you are going to be very disappointed. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic film for all time. Ford, Speilberg and Lucas were all at the height of their creative powers when that movie was made. BUT, Crusade was a damn good and fun flick in it's own right (so was Temple of Doom, haters be damned). If this is on par with Crusade, I will be perfectly happy - AND at least we known that Judeo-Christian myth and Nazis are out this time, so it will be different from Raiders and Crusade no matter what. Looking forward to May 22!
Fuck yeah! by MC-909	Feb 14th, 2008 02:24:12 AM
It looks like an adult Goonies. Can't wait.
actually hamster factor... by prunkhaft	Feb 14th, 2008 02:27:01 AM
i believe judeo christian myth plays fairly heavily in this installment, as indy is going back to retirieve the ark, or so it appears. If thats not whats going on in the trailer then BLOW ME DOWN!!!!!!
Still a badass by reflecto	Feb 14th, 2008 02:27:05 AM
I've had my doubts and my issues with latter day Spielberg (koffkoffTERMINALkoffkoffMINOR ITYREPORTkoff) but I'm onboard.
conspiracy, Lucas didnt direct this... by JimmyJoe RedSky	Feb 14th, 2008 02:27:15 AM
... Spielberg did
Props to IESB and the dude who posted it on other thread by messi	Feb 14th, 2008 02:28:29 AM
Sweet trailer. But like I expected. Could not compete with The Dark Knight.
Fucking YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! by Playkins	Feb 14th, 2008 02:28:46 AM
Anyone's got a problem with any of that, they're not Indy fans. For the people that think it's over the top, you need to watch the originals again. This looks AWESOME!
Minority Report by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 02:29:40 AM
was great, except for the sentimental ending.
ClockWorker by messi	Feb 14th, 2008 02:30:29 AM
Have you even seen the other Indy movies? He does the same shit in the other ones.
Reason Lucas held out is for Shia/continuation by messi	Feb 14th, 2008 02:33:26 AM
The Frank Darabont script left it closed, whilst this script leaves it open for Indy to return or Shia to take up the reigns as Indy Jr.
There is a fair bit of CGI by messi	Feb 14th, 2008 02:34:38 AM
You can tell on the flames. I'm not complaining but it's pretty cool how good my eyes are. You can tell the difference. But Indy swinging on the whip, fucking awesome.
punkhaft: maybe... by hamster factor	Feb 14th, 2008 02:34:42 AM
hard to say yet. Could it be that the warehouse holds a lot of other artifacts as well - playing into the chase for Crystal Skull MacGuffin? Regardless, I sense that the main plot is going to play into the whole "Chariots of the Gods" type mythology. I don't think the Ark will play major roll.
fucking great by CuervoJones	Feb 14th, 2008 02:35:21 AM
Bashers must be crying.
Yes! Looks sweet! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 02:38:22 AM
Loved that stunt of Harrison falling into the truck!
Indiana Jones and the... by PirateEmery	Feb 14th, 2008 02:39:35 AM
...Discovery of the Kingdom of the Badass Trailer.
true hamster factor by prunkhaft	Feb 14th, 2008 02:40:35 AM
very true. Im really fucking excited by this discussion. I really need this to be good. Star Wars was a huge blow, i NEED this movie to be worth the speculation. And yeah, the ark will have a role, but i doubt at the end Indy and Marion will be shutting their eyes while the red commies scream and melt. Man im excited.
Are you kidding? Looks terrible! by Ash Talon	Feb 14th, 2008 02:42:47 AM
I had no hope for this film (didn't like #3 either), but this looks far worse than I expected. In fact, I can't believe anybody thinks this looks good. It looks as fake as Sky Captain. Ford looks like he could keel over at any second, then he's flying around like Spidey and crashing through windshield like they're made of paper. Was thing shot on HD, cause it looks like it. Also looks like it's completely greenscreen. Wow. Words can't describe how bad it is. Guess it doesn't matter, since fanboys don't care about quality.

The shot of Ford by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 02:45:12 AM
picking up the hat silhouetted against the car sold it for me. A couple of dodgy FX shots but overall I am excited. It's gotta be better than Last Crusade, right?
Looks like it has the Raiders charm by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 02:49:21 AM
Very cool. I hope we see a lot of references to the other Indy movies like the Golden Idol, etc.
Doubters? by PirateEmery	Feb 14th, 2008 02:49:35 AM
Are you just naturally unhappy with your life?
YEEESSSSS!!! INDY IS BACK, FULL TIME! by theycallmemrglass	Feb 14th, 2008 02:50:01 AM
So excited, so excited. Hows my blood pressure? I felt as excited as I did when I saw the bootleg trailer of Phantom menace.
Ash Talon... by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 02:50:52 AM
It was shot film. I know because I worked on the set (as a lowly assistant). Keep in mind that this is a crappy bootleg and it doesn't do the picture justice at all. Also, when Lucas inevitably asked Spielberg to shoot digital, Janus Kaminski (the DP) said he would quit, and Spielberg said he would buy Technicolor before he would EVER shoot digital. So quit bitching.
I'm tearing up here... by Bono Luthor	Feb 14th, 2008 02:53:52 AM
that was moving. No doubts, no fears. There's some exciting prospects this year but this is THE movie for me.
Great Trailers House Shitty Films by georges garvaren	Feb 14th, 2008 02:53:53 AM
Lets be optimistic but cautious. Shall we?
re: "it looks like sky captain..." blah blah cry cry etc by hamster factor	Feb 14th, 2008 02:54:07 AM
Some people sure are dramatic. Glad you can tell all that from a bootlegged thumbnail of a video. Are you sure it doesn't look like sky captain to you because it's set in the 50s? I didn't see any giant robots or flying fortresses anywhere. You might be a little confused. And to the guy that said it had shitty dialog: from the half dozen lines that actually appeared in the trailer, it sounded like stuff straight out of any of the other Indy movies, and Ford still sounds like freaking Indiana Jones.
Oh MY GOOD GOD!!! by FILMFUNK	Feb 14th, 2008 02:54:07 AM

That's funny... by MelvintheMopBoy	Feb 14th, 2008 02:55:16 AM
When asked if Spielberg would consider shooting on digital, he used to reply "I'd do anything for George". I guess he changed his fucking tune!
PART TIME!!! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 02:56:52 AM
Classic
Here's the quote by MelvintheMopBoy	Feb 14th, 2008 02:57:02 AM
Spielberg said: "I'd do anything for George and if George asked me to shoot "Indiana Jones 4" on digital, I'd do it. But my duties will always be to shoot on film... I love shooting on film and I love editing on film. I know that digital will do the same thing film will do. It will still use lenses. It will still capture the same images." "The difference is that digital is like acrylic paint. It's so photo-realistic that you don't see any flaws. With traditional film, where you have it going through shutters in a film gate, it's alive with grain -- compared to digital; it's like an impressionist painting. I would still rather see a still life painted by an impressionist than a still life painted by Norman Rockwell."

No more phantom menace comparisons by Pipple	Feb 14th, 2008 03:00:32 AM
This is the berg we're talking about, a man who's an expert filmmaker in every sense of the word. Even at his worst he's better than 90% of everyone else out there. Same goes for john Williams on the scoring front. The best thing about the prequels was his scores actually... Anyway I'm numb from all the ejaculate that's all over my computer right now. It's Indy time!
Uh, has any Indiana Jones besides 1 been good? by geraldbeans	Feb 14th, 2008 03:00:43 AM
People are compalining that this should've been made earlier. No, it's perfect to release it now. That way nobody remembers that the second and third films were terrible! The little chinese boy screaming "Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones!" The third one being... I don't even remember what the third one was about!! I mean, I was a kid and not entertained. I could've watched someone piss on someones shoe back then and enjoyed it. Curtail expectation immediately. Please!
MORE LINES FROM MARION! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 03:01:05 AM

FUCK YOU geraldbeans! by Proman1984	Feb 14th, 2008 03:02:52 AM
YOU ARE A BITCH AND A LIAR! All three indy movies were fantastic with Temple being the coolest one. I will not curtail anything. Piss off. Thankyouvery much!
Awesome preview. It gave away no plot by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 03:03:52 AM
details, and it was still exciting.
geraldbeans by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 03:03:52 AM
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was terrible? Not in my world baby.
leobloom by tompiltoff	Feb 14th, 2008 03:04:33 AM
Yes, shitty dialogue. "I thought that was closer!" Derp! "Not as easy as it used to be!" Hey he's talking about the old films! LOL REFERENCE! Sorry. I'm not at all a jaded fanboy. I even was able to get some enjoyment from the prequels. Believe me, I want to love this movie.
And... by geraldbeans	Feb 14th, 2008 03:05:23 AM
There wasn't a single shot in there that made me say "wow!" It was just Harrison Ford reliving his Indy schtick. That's all this trailer was. Pure nostalgia. And you guys are buying it!
MelvintheMopBoy by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 03:05:25 AM
That is the official quote in magazines and interviews, yes. Hearing the rumblings and talk first hand wasn't so...diplomatic. You have to remember that Spielberg and Lucas are great friends - but Spielberg is a 'film' diehard through and through. Hence the Technicolor anecdote.
That shot of Indy's shadow with the hat... by Wonderboys	Feb 14th, 2008 03:05:26 AM

Looks like someone owes me an apology... by Zardoz	Feb 14th, 2008 03:08:49 AM
It seems that those soldiers in the green uniforms from that magazine pic that everyone was saying were U.S. soldiers are indeed Russian or Cuban or Russian Cubans. Whatever they are, they're not U.S. soldiers 'cause Indy's clearly kicking their asses! So there! Put that in your hat and whip it! Whip it good!
Looks friggin' great by Turnquest	Feb 14th, 2008 03:10:07 AM
Though didn't Senor Spielbergo say that CG would be at a minimum in this movie? It seems so weird to see an Indy-universe made with computer effects.
geraldbeans by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 03:10:59 AM
Perhaps nostalgia is what we are craving right now. There's nothing like warming up to an old friend in the theaters. Now with the prequels, it was like warming up to an old friend, and finding out he was a pedophile. This will not happen with Indy. Have faith. The penitent man will pass!
Proman by geraldbeans	Feb 14th, 2008 03:12:37 AM
How could you have seen those films since you are clearly a preteen? But to reply. Yes, do curtail. No, not bitch. Wrong, I tell truth. Now off you go. I'm sure there's a Hannah Montana rerun on somewhere.

They're actually Russian soldiers dressed as US soldiers, because they're after the same thing Indy is at the warehouse.

when a movie sucks, I don't rewatch it ten times over to verify how much it sucks. That movie was TERRIBLE. If you went into to any studio with that screenplay today, they would laugh you off of the grounds.
and I know enough by geraldbeans	Feb 14th, 2008 03:15:22 AM
to know that the first movie is a masterpiece. So I'm not an Indy hater. I am however, honest when it comes to when a movie sucks or not. Sequel to beloved original or not.
Oh yeah, and it looks like Roswell's in there, too... by Zardoz	Feb 14th, 2008 03:16:30 AM
at least that's what the magnetic box has stenciled on it. And it also looks pretty frickin' sweet! (and maybe the Russians are just impersonating U.S. soldiers, I'll give you that much)
geraldbeans by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 03:17:42 AM
I'm honest when a movie sucks too. 300 sucked. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom did not suck. Here endeth the lesson.

Temple of Doom by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 03:25:12 AM
I love Temple of Doom. Flawed? Sure. Awesome? You bet your ass. The music is some of my favorite John Williams - Parade of the Slave Children - amazing. The moment that gives me chills every single time I watch it is when Indy punches the guard after going to release the kids. The guard slides like 10 feet and the camera slowly dollies into Indy, who is just standing there with the most badass expression on his face. He's PISSED. My god I love that scene!

re: Temple of Doom by hamster factor	Feb 14th, 2008 03:49:26 AM
couldn't agree more about the music, freaking classic. The movie just kicks ass in general - the fucking bridge scene!! come on guys! "Prepare to me Kali, in Hell!". Indy was just freaking bad ass and dark in this movie. Temple of Doom was the first Indy I saw - I was like the kid in "Son or Rambow" for that movie - dressing up as Indy, reenacting it etc. It wasn't until later that I saw Raiders on video and of course Crusade when it hit theaters. When I got older I came to realize that Raiders was the far superior film, but I will never deny the awesomeness of Temple of Doom, despite the obvious flaws I now recognize.

Welcome to the TOD Fan Club, brother. We are motherfucking legion.
I do think by Blood Simple	Feb 14th, 2008 03:52:03 AM
they should have stuck with John Williams music at the beginning - The Map Room, or something of the like - instead of Brian Tyler's Children of Dune music. I really like Tyler's music, but it's Indiana Jones for christ's sake, talk about a catalog of incredible music to choose from. I don't understand why they did that. I honestly was thinking 'National Treasure' at the beginning (despite the Indy footage) just because that was the vibe the music and text gave. For the record, I haven't seen either 'National Treasure' films - but I can damn well assure you they wouldn't exist without Indy.

That, the Thugee March and the bridge scene, Indy vs. Mola Ram about to fall into a river of gators with the Sankara stones burning through the pack? The music and those moments made for a great film. Oh yeah and it was a prequel to Raiders which is why Indy has mercenary sensibilities about fortune and glory.

Much more cinematic than Crusade. And I still like Minority Report. I didn't like it much first time I saw it but it strangely improves on repeat viewings. I just went into the theater expecting a completely different movie. "I'm sorry John but you're going to have to run now. RUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" Great moment.
I always wondered if...... by Han Cholo	Feb 14th, 2008 04:36:48 AM
People in India were insulted by the dinner scene in Temple of Doom. I mean do they really eat Snake Surprise, beetles, eyeball soup, and yes...... chilled monkey brains? I seriously doubt the Majarajah of today would have that at his dinner table. Me, I'd rather have a Jumbo Jack.

I'm Concerned About the Punch... by specialbeats	Feb 14th, 2008 04:59:50 AM
First of all, it looks completely amazing, though probably an inordinate amout of FX for a teaser. They're basically showing off ILM's skills for all those stupid kids who expect it. Unfortunately, Spielberg & Lucas need THEM to see the movie too. I'm sure the special effects will fit into the final cut seamlessly. But that punch had me worried. I really hope that the audio isn't locked. That sound effect sucked. When Indy punches somebody in the face, it's like a frigging bomb going off. This one sounded almost realistic! Please... make it right.

As regards the CGI by EvilGeek1	Feb 14th, 2008 05:20:38 AM
There is certainly plenty of it there, but then again there was a fair amount of the traditional FX in the prequels. Everything from cell-painting to stop-motion was used. Plus from what spoilers I've read, the story seems grander so They're going to need computer effects to tell this story. But I honestly thought the CGI looked fine (and I'm a nuisance for picking it out). And I agree with the other TB'ers when they say that a trailer can be misleading. But refresh yourselves with what Dr. Jones has faced in the past and look at this trailer. Then tell me they've lost sight of Indiana Jones. Because I think they've still got it!

CGI by puzzledman69	Feb 14th, 2008 05:23:44 AM
I thought the effects weren't finished yet anyway. It might be the same thing that happenned with King Kong, the effects on the trailer were different to whatwas in the film. Although I havn't seen the indy trailer yet so I don't know what the effects are like. Once again, Damn my shitty work computer.

...As a kid. Especially Temple. I was too old for Crusades...I think I was 8 or so at the time, but even at that age, Crusade was flat and charmless. The problem for me is that I outgrew Indie. I didn't retain my enjoyment of it the same way I did Star Wars or other 80's kids flicks. Come to think of it, I never enjoyed any of Spielbergs films as a kid. It wasn't till I was much older that I appreciated them. Strange.I did love the stuff he produced though, like Goonies and Gremlins.

Saying 'F' this and that to them is not cool. Too many on here have an unrealsitc sense of entitlement, it comes from your parent's and whatnot telling too many of you how 'special' you are.

re: cameron by hamster factor	Feb 14th, 2008 06:01:55 AM
I haven't thrown any stones at this movie. I can't wait to see it. AICN talkback has the reputation of being one of the most venomous and toxic movie discussion forums on the net - I rarely participate here except when I have to come out and defend something I care about - like Indiana Jones. I would encourage you and anyone else not to take anything said here too seriously, and it worries me that film makers and studios actually seem to pay attention to talkbackers at times (like the Lucas quote from Vanity Fair where he said "everyone already hates Indy 4" - HUH?? no one I've corresponded with in "real life" has been anything but excited and curious about it) - giving any mind to anonymous assholes posting random shit in an attempt to provoke response and get attention is very dangerous territory indeed. Having said that: the prequels sucked balls, and you didn't have to read AICN to find that opinion.

I saw Crusades once at the movies and once on TV when I was a little older. I might give it another chance once I work my way back through the video store again.
marathonman2 by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 06:05:32 AM
Of course it's 2.35:1, Spielberg would never shoot an Indy movie in any other ratio. Me loves Spielberg in cinemascope. The only films he's shot 2.35:1 since Last Crusade are Hook, Minority Report, Munich and now Indy.
mixed feelings.. by StarskyandHushky	Feb 14th, 2008 06:08:20 AM
..about this. The action looks good, and Ford looks awesome as old Indy. The jokes work for me, and I did get excited in the pants watching it, just for nostalgia's sake. But...the CG sets....I mean, they build the fucking temple of Doom. Why make it look like Indy is stuck on fucking Naboo? I was half expecting them to run into Jar Jar fucking Binks.

WTF are you people going on about CG and crap FX?? I can barley see anything in this blurry postage stamp of a bootlegged trailer, but you are going into detailed analysis of CG and and FX?? you must have some sort of magical eyesight or something. at least wait a couple more hours and watch it in HD before you start crying about the FX in a TEASER TRAILER released months before the film is finished.

These are the complete tools who would NEVER have enjoyed a new Indy flick no matter what. Well, fuck each and every one of you, you insufferable, troglodytic, cretinous pricks.

Whats up with people getting mad at other people... by Bobo_Vision	Feb 14th, 2008 06:35:50 AM
...for not liking the trailer. If you liked it and it made you cum in your pants, great. But how does it detract from your enjoyment if others didn't like it, to the point where you're hurling names instead of sitting in the blissful afterglow of having splooged in your Spiderman underoos.

Harrison Ford looks like he's actually enjoying himself. by rbatty024	Feb 14th, 2008 06:39:46 AM
That hasn't been the case in years. In fact the last time he looked like he was having fun was probably the last Indiana Jones flick. I still say that if he wants to really restart his career he needs to hook up with Peter Weir again. Or maybe Ridley Scott, but while Weir's career has soared Scott has been stuck on auto pilot for some time.

Oh, C'mon, guys: this is a joke. by Merriman Lyon	Feb 14th, 2008 06:42:47 AM
Anyone who thinks that a well-edited trailer indicates that the movie itself is good needs a little reminding: back in 1999, a little trailer got everybody excited with its fast paced visuals and references to a classic film trilogy. And that was the trailer for which movie? The Phantom Menace. Remember: this trailer is probably NOT edited by the same people who made the actual movie. There are companies who SPECIALISE in producing trailers. They are experts in making SHIT look like GOLD. They do this by taking the most EXCITING shots in the movie and stitching them together in a quickfire editing style: it gives the impression that the whole movie is of the same standard. For example, that exchange: "You're a teacher?" - "Part time" is almost certainly the BEST joke in the movie AND NOW IT'S BEEN SPOILED. There will be nothing as good in the actual movie.And the action we've seen may well be THE ONLY action in the movie. It looks increasingly likely that most of the movie will involve the characters trudging around looking for some parts of a spaceship - just like The Phantom Menace.

Can I flip-flop my opinion of the trailer now? I didn't see the light, and now know to compare ALL trailers to the Phantom Menace trailer, because if a trailer makes a movie look good, it most certainly cannot be any good. And I know that even before seeing the movie. How? I am a disciple of 2for2true, and he knows EVERYTHING. Shitheels.

Sounds like you've only seen those two cheap knock-offs, 'Temple Of Doom' and 'Last Crusade'. You're welcome to keep your stoopid 'Crystal Skull' or whatever they're calling this farce. I will NOT be seeing this movie - but I will be here to say, 'I told you so' when y'all come back here whining about how the movie sucked compared to its trailer.

I read in an interview with Spielberg where he said... by rbatty024	Feb 14th, 2008 06:58:58 AM
the film was closest in tone to Crusade. That might make some of you wince but personally I really liked Crusade (my second favorite). That being said, I kind of get the idea that there's going to be a lot more humor in this one. I trust Spielberg and I'm really looking forward to just seeing this preview when it's larger than a postage stamp.

That trailer was awful! by successor	Feb 14th, 2008 07:08:45 AM
If the movie's anything like the trailer, I think I'll skip it or at least wait till it comes out of DVD. Indy swinging into a truck and not getting killed? The guy is sixty-five years old! Come on, give me a break. Not to mention all those silly scenes of Cate Blanchett screaming in Russian and the fake-looking CGI car chase. Is she going to be the evil, black-haired Willie Scott? The only good scene in the whole thing was when Indy picks up his hat and his shadow is reflected in the army car. Look, I love the first three Indy movies a lot. But this one just looks like a cynical cash-in to get more money out of our collective nostalgia. And to add insult to injury, they didn't even credit Frank Darabont as co-writer. I hope the movie is better than the trailer. I really do. But after this, I'm not getting my hopes up.
Let's play the Merriman game. by rbatty024	Feb 14th, 2008 07:11:17 AM
All you have to do is connect a film somehow with The Phantom Menace and then claim it sucks. The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Coppola who was a part of the new wave of directors in the 70's just like George Lucas. The two of them were even friends. George Lucas made The Phantom Menace which was a crappy film (but had an exciting trailer). Hence, The Godfather sucks!

Well..it's just a fucking trailer. Better being disappointed by that than by the actual movie itself. Yeah, just pillow talk, I'll give it a second try when it officially comes out later. I was really missing...Indy... in this one. I mean all those set pieces look fucking marvellous and super big.... But somehow I didn't expect this trailer to be so packed with action and explosions. In the end, though, maybe that's better than giving the whole movie away. I just don't know...I'll wait 60 more damn minutes...
A cynical cash in? by lex romero	Feb 14th, 2008 07:20:44 AM
Lucas and Spielberg are multi-millionaires. They're the ones that decided to make another film, there was no studio pressure to do it, Lucas wouldn't even let them make the film for over 10 years because he didn't like the scripts. How on earth is this a cash-in? Why would they even need one?
This is nothing like Phantom Menace by theyetiiswaiting	Feb 14th, 2008 07:20:51 AM

A sincere question regarding Crusade? by Jonah Echo	Feb 14th, 2008 07:22:26 AM
Now, I love all 3 movies but when did it become common knowledge that Crusade is the 'weak" Indy movie? I always thought common consensu was that Doom was the weakest? I might have that impression because personally the second is the weakest in my eyes(not all of it, but Short Round was a BIT much)but I'm not sure why people are worried if Indy 4 turns out like Crusade. I thought Crusade was almost as much fun as the first. But that initial movie is so far above most everything else, that it probably isnt fair trying to make sure they all measure up to Raiders. Like I said, I personally think Doom was the weakest, but if Indy 4 is as good as that one, then Ill be extremely happy.
Merriman Lyon by Laserbrain	Feb 14th, 2008 07:22:29 AM
You are right about one thing - this trailer proves nothing. I am well aware of this and keeping my expectations in check. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy the hell out of what I'm seeing today. It's called optimism. Here, try some...

Reflected, shown, revealed. Whatever. I still say it's the only good scene in the whole thing. I also think Ford's advanced age will hurt the film in the believability area. Maybe I could buy a fifty-something Indy swinging into a truck, but not a sixty-five year old man.
Come on, now.... by Da B-Meister	Feb 14th, 2008 07:24:08 AM
Remember, morons (and by that I mean Merriman) that this is only a TEASER trailer, it's not the full trailer and so they're not showing all the best pieces at a rapid clip. Now as far as the Indiana Jones movies are concerned, nothing will come close to "Raiders", although we can hope that this one will. "Temple of Doom" was good in its own right, even if Capshaw sucked in it and they threw in the kid. "Last Crusade" was just a farce, overly reliant on some pretty bad sfx.

Indy's only in his 50's in this by I Dunno	Feb 14th, 2008 07:29:15 AM
the character is younger than the actor. And besides, Indy is healthier because he drank from the Grail. Hold on, I know they crossed the seal but Henry Jones' gunshot would stayed healed, right? So any maladies Indy had due to middle age were healed, no doubt adding to his lifespan. In other words, quit bitching about the age.

The Ark? by Da B-Meister	Feb 14th, 2008 07:29:49 AM
Are we to assume that somehow they take the Ark out of the warehouse and use it to counter-effect the power of the crystal skulls? Or is it just a happenstance that whatever they're after is in that same warehouse and the extent of the Ark's inclusion is that they pass by its crate while they're chasing Indy around?
Da B by Abominable Snowcone	Feb 14th, 2008 07:32:53 AM
As soon as we were given that image of the crate, I figured it was the former. That the good guys dig up the ark to counteract the skulls, or whatever. To visit that same warehouse for any other reason is too much of a co-inky-dink.
Cumdumpster, that's a good one by successor	Feb 14th, 2008 07:33:19 AM
Damn this lack of an editing feature in the talkback feature. Lucas and Spielberg may be multi-millionaires, but they can always use more money, especially after some of their more costly flops. And since when has Lucas been beneath money-grabbing stunts like putting out multiple version of the Star Wars DVDs?
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES... by Merriman Lyon	Feb 14th, 2008 07:33:41 AM
or be doomed to repeat them. When you've gotten over your excitement, just STOP and THINK. I looked in the dictionary and you know what the definition for 'Fanboy' was? "Fanboy: an individual who shuts off his brain and allows a trailer to do his thinking for him." A trailer is a specific product. It is DESIGNED to EXCITE and TEASE. And yes, that goes for all movies. They do this by careful selection of footage. Remember: you have seen LESS THAN 2 MINUTES of actual footage! It isn't representative of the movie! It IS representative of a MARKETING TECHNIQUE. Using footage from the 'Crystal Skull' movie, you could JUST AS EASILY make a trailer than makes the movie look like IT SUCKS CRYSTAL BALLS. The production of a trailer is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUSINESS to the production of a movie. The problem is that fanboys are CONFUSING THE TWO! So, yes, give the trailer-makers an award for their editing. But don't hand them your brains at the same time, for the love of God. And now for some statistics: Percentage of talkbackers who were excited at the first Crystal Skull trailer: 95% . Percentage of talkbackers who saw the movie and realised it wasn't nearly as exciting as the trailer implied: 99% . Percentage of talkbackers who saw the trailer for what it was and did not bother to see the movie, but rented out 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark Instead': One person: Merriman Lyon.
Jonah Echo by Bobo_Vision	Feb 14th, 2008 07:33:43 AM
I'll give you a brief summary why Doom is better than Crusade which most have already stated: Crusade is pretty much a carbon copy of Raiders with Sallah, Marcus, Nazis, etc., and its far too jokey and slapstick merely intended as a final chapter to a trilogy to give a nice tidy ending where they can ride off into the sunset. No matter what anyone says about Doom in terms of criticism, at least it was 100% original, and 25 years later there are still no movies anywhere near similar to Doom. It was dark, and had some of the best action scenes ever made, and the rope bridge scene is still one of the greatest movie climaxes of all time.

Jonah Echo by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 07:38:42 AM
Crusade is by far the weakest, a shallow imitation of Raiders. The serious characters of Sallah and especially Brody are turned into joky, idiotic sidekicks. Allison Doody is awful. The whole thing is unimaginatively shot and there is an overall feeling of blandness. The boat chase is monumentally unexciting and the ILM SFX for the most part are pretty woeful, mainly due to Dennis Muren not being onboard. Indiana ends up being a stooge to Sean Connery's lame schtick. There's still some great stuff in it, the Phoenix opening, the desert chase, but overall it's by far the weakest of the three. IMO of course.
Has anyone considered... by DocPazuzu	Feb 14th, 2008 07:39:30 AM
...that maybe Jones and the Russians are in the warehouse because: 1) The Soviets forced him to try to help them find the Ark (even though he doesn't know where or how to find it). 2) Indy lies at some point about knowing where the Ark is in order to buy time and somehow fuck the Soviets over while in the warehouse? I'm not so sure the Ark shows up at all.
One other thing by successor	Feb 14th, 2008 07:40:23 AM
I wanted to enjoy the trailer. I really did. But what I saw didn't impress me one damn bit. If anything, it depressed me. Even if there's no profit motive involved--which may very well be (Speilberg and co. might be doing it for love)--I thought the trailer looked terrible. And all the passion in the world won't change that. As Frank Gilroy once wrote, "Passion ain't enough."

Merriman is a better judge of trailers than all of us by just pillow talk	Feb 14th, 2008 07:44:09 AM
Why can't you see that Kloipy? Plus, typing CERTAIN words in caps makes his point more SIGNIFICANT. Motoko, do you have the ark up your ass this morning?
Wow, Merriman... by DocPazuzu	Feb 14th, 2008 07:46:08 AM
... you really are an asshole. "A trailer is a specific product. It is DESIGNED to EXCITE and TEASE." That description fits most movies in this genre as well, you douchenozzle.
Motoko by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 14th, 2008 07:46:15 AM
Borefest? Erm, last time I checked Temple of Doom had the most exciting last half hour in film history.

That may be true but the first 1 1/2 hours are not that exciting. Not at all. Plus there are those damn annoying kids all over the place. And their king Short Round. And this silly meal. And a dozen other things I didn't like about TOD.

Now that was a good trailer by MontyPigeon	Feb 14th, 2008 07:49:37 AM
Obviously Lucas had nothing to do with the trailer. As for the full film we'll have to wait and see if it's been LUCASFIED and turned into one of the worst films ever made. Looks good so far though, props to Spielberg.
You haters talk as if... by TheMcflyFarm	Feb 14th, 2008 07:49:37 AM
...The Raiders trailer was any good. Sure it was made at a time where trailers wre different and awkward, but my God if watching that again didn't make me want to vomit on a group of orphans and light them on fire. As for this trailer, good stuff.
Mhmh, I LOVE ginger ale by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 14th, 2008 07:50:12 AM

About that Phantom Menace trailer... by Jonah Echo	Feb 14th, 2008 07:59:42 AM
Back then, we were all a bit naive, in that we didn't even think about the fact Episode 1 might be terrible. Sci-fi was schluffing along miserably at that point, and even the really good stuff like Dark City wasnt being seen by anybody. The summer before Menace, the most satisfying sci-fi film we had was X-Files and it wasn't groundbreaking and just an extension of the show. So, then the prequel teaser shows up, and I think that first teaser was prior to Wing Commander(didnt WC get the longer, actual trailer?)because I recall seeing Prince of Egypt and the teaser with the gungans emerging from the mist being in front of that. And my reaction then was, "awesome" but even at that early point I remember recognizing the lack of expression on Yoda, and that was the first time I even considered that it might not live up to it's potential. Go back and what that first teaser, and later trailer and they aren't really marketing a different movie, its just that we were allowed to operate off of pure blind hype. Also, that trailer worked most of its magic from the music, and the world we saw didnt look like that of the original films. However, Indiana Jones looks like a part of the originals and it helps that this actually brings back some of the same actors and style. I think if you sit both trailers next to each other, this one clearly looks like the better movie even without the knowledge of how each would turn out.

RE: Jonah Echo by TheManBehindTheMask	Feb 14th, 2008 08:05:20 AM
I think many people, like me, found out that, in the end, Crusade is the one that don't pass very well the multiple rewatch test, whereas Doom does it so good!

DocPazuzu. you're not listening... by Merriman Lyon	Feb 14th, 2008 08:18:39 AM
Of course it applies to other trailers. OF COURSE it does. The art of trailer-making (which is a different art to filmmaking) has developed to such a degree over the last twenty years that nowadays, NO action movie can possibly hope to live up to its own trailer. It pains me to have to explain this to (apparently) intelligent people - but it UPSETS me when intelligent people HAND OVER THEIR BRAINS AND MONEY to a MARKETING CAMPAIGN. So now let's look at some FACTS: 1. You have seen about a minute and a half of footage, designed by the best experts in the business to get you excited. Yes, it's fun - but it's NOT the movie. 2. The MOVIE itself (not the trailer - the MOVIE) has been made by three people who were at their best THIRTY years ago. The magic is long gone and they have proved this over and over again. 3. The basic premise of the movie was cooked up by George Lucas - Spielberg and Ford HATED it for years and refused to have anything to do with it. Now HATE is a strong word. The story must REALLY suck. 4. George Lucas came up with the story. George Lucas? Do I need to remind people? Do I REALLY need to write twenty pages explaining why this is wrong? 5. Spielberg and Ford were ready to shoot the Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) script. Now THAT I would like to see. But Lucas rejected it so we get the Crystal Skull instead. 6. Like the Star Wars prequels, Lucas is continuing the franchise by introducing a 'family' element: Shia leBoeuf being Indy's son and Marion Ravenwood being Shia's mom. Just like the Brady Bunch. Aw, that's sweet. Hope they put in an adorable and comic housekeeper and some canned laughter too. 7. The history of resussitated franchises isn't exactly inspiring. I'd say there's a hit rate of one in twenty managing to come up to the level of the original. Lucas' invovlvement in this area needs no comment from me. 7. Lucas is involved. That's George Lucas, permanent nominee at the Razzie awards. And no, he doesn't care what you think.
No, Merriman... by DocPazuzu	Feb 14th, 2008 08:22:33 AM
...YOU'RE not listening. I said you just described most MOVIES in the genre, not just trailers. Your logic is fatally flawed.

Then why bother watching Crusade at all when I can just watch Raiders again since Crusade is just an imitation. That would be like making a sequel to Star Wars where they simply blow up the Death Star all over again. Oh, wait...

Primary Issue with TOD by The Colonel	Feb 14th, 2008 08:42:47 AM
KATE CAPSHAW. Shrill, annoying, no redeeming qualities in that movie. The opening scene was too slapsticky, like much of Crusade, which I still love. Crusade is a bit of a retread, but the Grail is a worthy quest for Indy, unlike the ambiguous stones in TOD, and the tests at the end of Crusade are awesome. Seeing Indy go bad in TOD was awesome though. And the end on the bridge, of course.
yes, damn you skimn by just pillow talk	Feb 14th, 2008 08:43:27 AM

you're getting him confused with nodiggity by Lost Jarv	Feb 14th, 2008 08:50:33 AM
Nodiggity is a pointy-headed fucker with an attire obsession, who also think Aliens is a remake of Alien. He can type English properly. M-o-M is a cretinous hypocrite that thinks he is smarter than us. He Can't type English properly. it's a big difference, and as much of a nerd as diggity is, I'd much rather see him than have M-o-M polluting the TB with ill-conceived, ill-written drivel.
yes, that would have been fine by Lost Jarv	Feb 14th, 2008 09:00:44 AM
IF THE FUCKER COULD WRITE ENGLISH. The drivel he spouted was unreadable

merriman.. by dengreg31	Feb 14th, 2008 10:23:47 AM
you wrote..or be doomed to repeat them. When you've gotten over your excitement, just STOP and THINK. I looked in the dictionary and you know what the definition for 'Fanboy' was? "Fanboy: an individual who shuts off his brain and allows a trailer to do his thinking for him." A trailer is a specific product. It is DESIGNED to EXCITE and TEASE. And yes, that goes for all movies. They do this by careful selection of footage. Remember: you have seen LESS THAN 2 MINUTES of actual footage! It isn't representative of the movie! It IS representative of a MARKETING TECHNIQUE. Using footage from the 'Crystal Skull' movie, you could JUST AS EASILY make a trailer than makes the movie look like IT SUCKS CRYSTAL BALLS. The production of a trailer is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUSINESS to the production of a movie. The problem is that fanboys are CONFUSING THE TWO! So, yes, give the trailer-makers an award for their editing. But don't hand them your brains at the same time, for the love of God. And now for some statistics: Percentage of talkbackers who were excited at the first Crystal Skull trailer: 95% . Percentage of talkbackers who saw the movie and realised it wasn't nearly as exciting as the trailer implied: 99% . Percentage of talkbackers who saw the trailer for what it was and did not bother to see the movie, but rented out 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark Instead': One person: Merriman Lyon. --Well, that's one person who is missing out. good lord, what is your problem? really? Are you taking pleasure in trying to rip a movie that at worst will be better than 75 percent of the crap released this past year? God, let it go man.. seriously. It's just a movie either way. Would you be happier if the trailer had sucked? I don't understand some of you people here... Why tear it down? Yeah, Phantom Menace sucked compared to some of the earlier films. Jar Jar Binks is an affont to filmmaking. WHATEVER. Like arguing with a 5 year old. Go away.

Is that moral equivalence I'm smelling? Nice design on the Yank uniforms. The hats are made to recall the nazi caps. It looks like they couldn't have JUST the Communists as the bad guys it appears they had to make the Americans bad guys too. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to this movie. I think it's going to kick all kinds of ass this spring. I just hope they don't do the whole moral equivalence thing re: Yangs and Comms. ...and, yes, I spelled it that way on purpose. I figure most here will "get it." MT

Xiphos by Mistahtibbs	Feb 14th, 2008 11:08:48 AM
Yeah, it's not the clothing it's the caps they're wearing. Actually, when I first caught a glimpse of the caps my first thought was Indy was getting arrested/whatever by the French until I focused on the rest of the clothing. While the caps ARE similar to US Army issue they appear to have taken some liberty with the styling to evoke a Nazi look to them. It's just that if you're going to have a villian in the 50's then it's GOT to be "dem damn Reds©" like we HAVE been hearing on AICN. Don't do that whole "the US is as evil and corrupt as the Soviets." That's just inaccurate and silly. Still, maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. Regardless, on May 22nd... I. AM. THERE! MT
bit too much of Indy thinking he's Spiderman by johnnyg korrupt	Feb 14th, 2008 11:40:01 AM
Once i got past my excitement of seeing Indy again i noticed - wayyy too much of Indy swinging around on his whip. I know it's just a teaser but it seems a bit narrow focused. All you see is the jungle and indy swinging around
Van Helsing was a swingfest by Knobules	Feb 14th, 2008 12:09:27 PM
Just saying. That was the best swinging from a rope connected to something that makes no sense movie ever made.
WHERE IS MARION RAVENWOOD? by jericho1368	Feb 14th, 2008 12:55:28 PM
She's the ONLY reason I'm excited about this flick. The other Indy movies SUCKED elephant balls because they missed the ONE thing that made Raider magical -- Indy and Marion... and she wasn't even in the trailer... WTF?
The Colonel by The Colonel	Feb 14th, 2008 12:59:45 PM
Marion was in the trailer at the end, in the jeep with Indy and Indy Jr. She definitely rules, good to see Karen Allen back in something substantial, if if only briefly. She was the only Indy chick that brought something real to the table. The blond in the third was hot but generic, and Kate Capshaw actively took things OFF the table she was so grating.

Speilberg never shows his Aliens until.. by ganymede3010	Feb 14th, 2008 01:54:52 PM
The last 15 minutes of his movies. Has anyone else ever notice that?
Spielberg and aliens by The Colonel	Feb 14th, 2008 02:47:27 PM
What about E.T.? He's on screen the whole fucking time. In War of the Worlds, it takes about 20 minutes for them to show up. There are no aliens in A.I., those are robots at the end, and robots are in the movie the whole time as well. I assume you're referring to Close Encounters, so I guess it's true in that case. Otherwise, um, no.
The Shankara Stones are Important by DarfurOnTheRocks	Feb 14th, 2008 02:58:54 PM
The Shankara Stones are a familier trope throughout the Ages. The meteor that was heading to Earth in Armageddon was a Shankara Stone. The stone used the the prophet David to slay Goliath was a Shankara Stone. The rock that killed Piggy in Lord of the Flies was in fact a Shankara Stone. Hell Chuck Norris' ball are made of Shankara Stone. So in response to those claiming the TOD was not a worthy adventure for Indy, I would politely disagree....

This movie is sure to dissapoint .... by Luscious.868	Feb 15th, 2008 03:24:46 PM
Lucas is involved and had veto power over the script. This thing is sure to suck. Look for overproduced, unnecessary CGI effects and crappy dialog.
