Hideo, if there's anything these KOTCS talkbacks have shown it's that there's a lot more love for Temple than most people think. Just luck at how many TOD quotes fill the above posts.

The man of adventure is going to be skewered by the natives because of the arthritis is his hip. More tragic than exciting.

By the way, I heard a while back that they took out the old Indy from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Does anyone know if this is true?

That being said, overall it looks like it's going to be a hoot.

Now, I have no idea if this will be good or not, but I am still very hopeful that it will be. But damn people, are all of you prone to hating this? If you had a problem with the trailer, fine, but nitpicking to death a movie poster?

Fuck each and every one of you, long and hard, and at the business end of a seven-foot lumberjack.

Oh, how I despise you.

After plowing my drive this weekend, I set up an ion cannon in my front yard. You know, so the rebel transports could get off safely

BLAM BLAM

Hilarious.

(Flings whip) Whuppassssshhhh!!

"Wait! He's MINE! He's MY little fortune cookie funtoy!"

SMACK! SLAP! "I'll crack your nail, Blondie!" SMACK! CRACK! "Do you have any MORE antidote in those bazoongas of yours, doll?"

Indy: Heh, I don't know what he's talking about. (blush)

GOLD!

I get that a lot. I've been on TV. With my rock-hard glutes.

I also felt bad for that asian waiter character, who was introduced so that he could die for Indy. But aside from the intro and that embarrassing palace feast segment (monkey brains and live snakes? C'mon, George, these are *Indians* for chrissakes. They aren't *that* freaky or exotic), the rest is great.

Of course, this would later be contradicted in later stories (Indy III and Young Indy), which showed Indy as being a pretty stand-up guy throughout his life. Unless Temple of Doom was just a glimpse of his "dark years". Man, am I reading too much into this or what?

Now, go the fuck away because nobody here is soliciting for your bullshit.

A little birdie told me there was some Indy news today, though.

I hope the movie ends on that EXACT cue. They shit teir pants, 1,2,3 - then cut to the credits and the Raiders march theme.

"Got lost in his own Talkback, you say?"

"Yep."

Following the Warciples on their adventures can prove to be...enlightening. Like a FLK.

For me, the Ark stands as one of the biggest obstacles. I mean, Indy and Abner supposedly worked very close together and Indy knew the Ark was "his obsession, really." So much so, that the Nazis sought him out above all others when they found Tanis. Are we now to believe that either Indy had no idea about his mentor's "other" passion? Or did he know all along and we never knew about it?

I guess it's possible, too, that maybe Abner "inherited" an artifact or some vital information from another person (a colleague?), but maybe didn't realize how vital the info or artifact was until he was captured. And then was never released because he "knew too much", but could still be of use when/if his captors got close to solving the riddle of the crystal skulls.

(Goes for heart)

Then they leave and it closes on Indy, alone and old in a nursing home room by himself, staring out a window as a tear rolls down his cheek

Kloipy, I like your poignant scene with grandpa Indy being abandoned by the grandkids and weeping silently. If Ford plays the role, he will win an oscar. There's no debate.

Indy's daily routine at the home should consist of finding seemingly mundane objects, like some old lady's knitting needle, and Indy will find it and think he's found "The Diving Probe of Sal-Mon-Ra" or some major artifact. And the nursing staff just goes along with it.
