The quick-cut super slickness of the fonts, colors, and graphics has me a bit worried, though. I hope they keep the film itself free (as much as possible) of this stuff.

Forrestal!!

And be careful what you wish for, as monkeys/apes will soon rule the world. You don't want them taking away our cinema too, do you?

I think the reason they haven't released full-length trailers for this is because they know many of us, myself included, would spooge our pants embarrassingly. So instead they give us these short but stimulating little "handjob" sneak peeks. Hey works for me.

You CAN NOT judge a movie, and especially a performance based on minimal trailer footage. There's not as much dialog in an Indy trailer because the emphasis for marketing is the adventure aspect.

And as far as your question as to why not have a scene as a whole, and why resort to trick editing? Where have you been? That is precisely what nearly every release trailer is and has been since the 80s and even before.

Spielberg is a stubborn (thankfully) supporter of shooting on film. Which I commend. People saying this new movie looks too digital (it's shot on film people) are disregarding the fact that they had watched the Indy films on shitty VHS for years. In the theaters, the Indy films looked crisp and clear, unless you were in some shitty dive theater. On DVD they are even clearer.

Thus, don't let your memory confuse you. Spielberg and co. were adamant that they wanted this new film to have the same look and feel of the original. Complaints about the "overuse" of CG are ridiculous right now as well because thus far we've seen just a couple CG shots. But in the context of a minute long trailer.

CG in essence will replace the terrible blue screen matting that both Temple and Crusade especially had.

Of course, even with the huge expectations AVATAR will knock us all on our collective asses and change the future of cinema. Pay attention George Lucas, if the film is great then the expectations before hand are irrelevent. If you make crappy films they will be treated as such. It's really not that hard to figure out.

Fool.

This, on the other hand, doesn't have either Jake Lloyd, Natalie Portman, or Haydn Christiannnensnsnsnsnsenen in it, nor the presense of anodyne poorly-thought out aliens. (I hope). It also isn't directed by Lucas, so there is more chance that it won't be a monumental clusterfuck like Attack of The Clones

"I suppose it looks kind of fun, but so far I've only liked Raiders. Temple of Doom was a bucket load of cinematic pus. Kate Capshaw wouldn't stop screaming. I wanted to put my dick in her mouth to shut her up. Then I wanted to cram that Short Round bastard up her twat until he suffocated. That movie really didn't need some screaming bitch and an annoying little brat."

Internets, don't fail me now!

Mind you, I am not judging the quality of either film. For all I know TDK will be a classic and Indiana Jones will be a suckfest. Personally, I'm looking forward to both. I'm merely discussing the box office possibilities.

Are you bring your daughter to see Iron Man Abom?

What I find absolutely amazing about the new Indy, and few people have mentioned this, is that a high profile film with an older man is actually paired with a love interest his own age. You just don't see this anymore. Does anyone remember Entrapment? I never saw it but the previews implied a romance between the skeleton of Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta Jones. Granted, that's not too far off from Katherine's actual love life, but it creeped me out nonetheless.

Most of the choices I've seen so far about the new Indy have been positive. Bringing back Marion and letting Indiana Jones age are great ideas. They easily trump the choices I'm a little worried about (i.e. the alien connection). It truly is a great time to be a geek.

Entrapment = horrendous movie.

Catherine Zeta Jones = tremendously hot.

Mind you, I took my daughter to see Transformers at the show. That particular scene passed quickly enough so that my daughter didn't ask about it. And both of us otherwise enjoyed the movie. But now that we have it on DVD at home, and she's seen it a couple times, Erin has asked what "masta-vating" means. And my wife has taken me to task for it. We've danced around the birds-and-bees talk with our daughter, because she's not quite ready for that. And I've defended myself by saying that movies like Transformers IS in fact okay for a nine year old. But it's unfortunate that in today's culture, a moviemaker like Bay thinks he needs to "hip" it up with a needless joke about jerking off. So now my wife is suspect about the content of upcoming movies like Iron Man. The commercial shows Tony and Pepper on top of each other making out. If that's the most risque the movies gets, I think my kid can handle it. But as you know, you can't promise to your spouse what content a movie will have when you haven't actually seen the movie. The best you can do is check the movie out yourself first.

So DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY and your needless masturbation joke. Yeah, I chuckled, but you HAD to know your target audience was youngsters who might not get it, and thus might ask mom and dad about it. DAMN YOU!!

I'm hoping that this will mark the beginning of a renaissance in Ford's career. After Indiana Jones he should get a part in a Peter Weir and Ridley Scott film respectfully. They managed to get great performances out of him (Mosquito Coast might be the best acting of his career).

I would think that you'll be okay with Iron Man, but again like you mention, convincing your wife otherwise could be hard.

So, based on the earlier Indy movies, I'm guessing I can take my nine-year old in blindly to see the new Indy Jones movie. But I might have to see Iron Man for myself first. What's it rated? PG or PG-13? "Parental Guidance" as a rating doesn't really help parents much on its face, because in order to be informed and exercise that guidance, you've got to see the movie first. Otherwise, you just don't know, unless you've got something to base your judgement on, like earlier movies in a given franchise.

We know the real Harrison is in there somewhere...set him free from his firewall!

Speaking of '82 Orcus, Conan keeps playing on cinemax, and I must, must watch it, no matter where I pick it up. I get my wife's usual response of "oh no, not again!"

I tell her I'll shut it off only if she tells me the riddle of steel.

Plus, if it's a good movie, you get to see it twice, guaranteed!

Thinking back to my childhood, lots of the movies I watched were over my head and I don't think it was much of a problem. I'm not talking R-rated films, I'm referring to E.T. (I think the word douchebag is used but I could be wrong), Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, and the like. I remember asking lots of questions about Look Who's Talking (I didn't realize at the time women could have kids without being married). I don't think any of these films had a negative effect on me.

I will say my parents didn't let watch R-rated films that weren't prescreened by them. And then only if they were important films like Dances With Wolves. So there is a happy medium. Kids like to feel a little grown up, which is good, but at the same time you don't want to take away their childhood by filling their head with too much adult crap. A while back there was an article in the New York Times about the value of letting your kids watch films with adult themes (not slasher films or anything like that) because it could provoke important conversations and get them to appreciate art. I tend to subscribe to this belief.

My parents were overprotective as far as movies went. Probably a little too much so. Remember the movie "One Dark Night?" Probably not. It was a dumb horror movie about teens spending the night in a crypt. Came out in like '82 or so. Anyway, I recall at school that ALL the kids were going to see that movie. I couldn't go because my parents wouldn't let me. It was a PG movie, and I was at least eleven years old, but they gave me the veto based simply on the theme of the movie, which I guess they'd discerned from a TV ad.

It does get to be a tough, dicey job. Even GREAT GREAT movies like Rocky will drop a "screw you creepo" in there. I guess what it comes down to is, your parenting skills in all other secular areas of life come into play, because if your kid is raised well enough, they should be able to recognize a taboo / slang word or topic, even when it hits them for the first time, and afterwards I guess you have an intellectual discussion about it.

And then, bring on the GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS!!

Goes to show, you just don't know anymore these days. I wouldn't be surprised

Doubtful, but I'm hoping.

The wife hates it with a vengeance and has particular contempt for AOTC, so I'm hopeful that they will never get a viewing in casa del Jarv.

I'm going to educate them with good healthy kids movies such as The Princess Bride and Flash Gordon- so they will have a solid understanding of the awesomeness of cheese.

*Jarv goes away to think of subtle way to ask her*

I dont care if you dont like the script - I dont care if you dont like the dialogue - I dont care if you are insanely jealous of Mr. LeBouf.

I'm going to see this movie, and I'm going to love it.

For some little sod that won't even be grateful that we own the crock of gore and the book of the dead.

Seriously , I've just persuaded the wife that a PS3 and GTA4 are necessary.

When the time is right, the little sods will know.

I am going to make sure that my child says "Barney is a Cunt" on his/ her first day at school and also understands that bears are a danger and not at all cuddly.

My kid shall know very early on that Hollywood lies about the noble bear.

I read the book, hated it, and had no desire at all to see the film. I didn't get why her Job was meant to be so crap, I've had worse bosses than that. She was basically just a spoilt cow.

I'm amused though that they struggled with "artistic differences"

The word of the all-mighty bear MUST be spread then. It is imperative.

Apparently pugwash is Australian for felching as well, but I don't believe that. They sailed a ship called the Black Pig round and achieved fuck all. It was great.

So I think I'm safe on that score.

Orcus, Bears in general have been demonized to cuddly, soft, furry animals when they should be represented in the media as flesh eating kings of the forest.

By the time I was 8 the story went round the playground, and even though we watched it when we got home we still believed it.

I did have my fingers crossed though.

Al though there is a comment by you on it.

The flip side, though is that every boozer will be rammed with moronic chavs.

I was appallled as a child, and am still appalled by the lack of international condemnation of such acts of 'alien' intrusion on the affairs of coyote and his food.

Who actually rooted for the R.R.?

Wasn't my fault that that dumbass set his hair on fire, just because I gave him the matches. I did not tell him to light them!

Parents can be so unfair. Jjust like R.R. cartoons!

He only wanted to turn the R.R. into bird paste and smear the remains on the traitorous mountainside cliffs that magically only fall on HIM.

Sound.

Plan.

Bleep!

I kid, I kid. You okay?

And there, see? Another Kirsten reference.

BUT, if the movie's good afterall, I've lost nothing. If it turns out to be disappointing, it probably only makes Indy look even better when I see it since my most recent movie-going experience will have been "less than impressive".

You guys seen braffed around lately? I haven't been on AICN too much this week, but I don't know if I've seen the dipshit pop up anywhere. Maybe his Dad finally tied him up, like he always wanted.

And this one confirms the suspicion of the "rocket sled" thing.

HOLD ON MARY JANE!!

She looked about 12 or 13 in Jumanji, and that was 1995 or so, so 26 sounds about right.

If Indy does something to Mutt in this movie as far as symbolically passing the baton, I might puke. I'm thinking of the scene at the beginning of Crusade when that one dude puts his hat on young Indy. If Indy gives up his Fedora, especially to Shia, I think I'll have an aneurism and expire dejectedly in the movie theater.

I'd equate it to Spidey 3. I really, really enjoyed the first two, but the third could not be forgiven. I'm not trying to equate the two movie franchises, just the feelings going into the latest installment.

Utterly speechless

Wow, I'm hoping we take one measly game. Right now we are getting butchered by the Pirates.

The goddamn Pirates.

Yes, Lucas IS bitter. He has already faced sky-high expectations and hit a grand-slam. The expectations for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK were as high as any movie has ever faced, and the film delivered. The expectations for the Prequel Trilogy were also that high, but they didn't deliver. It's not rocket science.

And yes, AVATAR will change cinema forever. You have no idea what you're in for.

I'll be looking forward to saying "I told you so".

There aren't too many Indy TBs from 3rd or 4th quarter last year.

unfortunately the holy scriptures are too unweildy for my shitty work computer, so I am doing them at home, and bloody BT still won't fix my internet

I'm not opposed to disney per se, and will gladly show mini-jarv the mighty Jungle Book, but it's the post 1990 Disney that I think sucks and is tantamount to child abuse

Truly, truly dreadful in all the right ways.

Jarv's review:

Deathstalker is one of the maligned 80's sword and sandals nonsense movies. However, unlike Beastmaster or Hawk the Slayer or many other pf this Genre, Dethstalker lacked even the slightest semblance of a plot.

I would like to spoil this masterpiece of cheese, but feel that this would be impossible- just watch out for truly dire special effects, terrible acting, gratuitous sex and boobs, pigmen, a sorecerous villain without a clue, plan or purpose (and a tattoo that kept shifting sides of his head), a sex changing henchman that deathstalker tries to fuck, and a climax that just leaves you asking what?

Simply magnificent- get some beers and prepare to chuckle.

It sounds...enlightening.

one9d euce, your first two lines of your post cracked me up dude...

But he finds a female barbarian sidekick who wanders around nekkid but for her cape.

And did I mention that there is mud wrestling?

And pigmen. Pigmen are good too.

It is a pretty terrible film by any standards but I was almost in tears laughing at it- especially because the wife kept saying things like "why is she having sex with him while the old man watches"

These questions have no answer, the people making it sure as fuck didn't know.

Make sure you watch out for the moving tattoo. Stupidity and sloppy filming at it's finest.

And they had so many great ideas that they just didn't follow through with-

King: Go and rescue my daughter

DS: No. I'm not stupid

King: But you're a hero

DS: A hero and a fool are the same thing

Then he rides off. But inexplicably, later in the film he starts to actually try to rescue the princess.

The whole film is full of knuckle-headed continuity gaps like this. It's great.

JUST KIDDING!!! Seriously congratulations and best to your new family addition.

You would never get a film like that rated PG nowadays.

Also, "Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky...with number two pencils. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will stab your eyes out with a number two pencil, stick them in all of your orifices where you will forever be stabbed, tortured and where you will suffer, and be stabbed, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

1) Pointy Heads- Nodiggity and Ringwearer9 are prime examples of this- they have some form of rudimentary intelligence but completely waste it with anorak level obsessiveness over minutiae. They also make things worse by refusing to give an inch on any of their frankly ludicrous points.

2) Psychopaths. There are several inhabitants of the AICN jungle that definately qualify for care in the community. They represent Top Predator in the troll ecosystem. 2true (despite divine status) and Queefer being two notable members. Again, they have some rudimentary intelligence but their serious personality issues mean that not only is violence the first option it's the only option. The mistake they make is that they make their death threats over an anonymous medium and are probably fat, spotty gimboids that couldn't fight sleep

3)Offensive names- Dannyglover or I kick Tits are examples of this. Age= 13, sense of humour= nonexistant. They seem to think that picking a grossly offensive username is funny. It isn't. No intelligence to speak of, and lack any redeeming features whatsoever.

4)Die-hard haters. I am Batman, Underoos. No matter how fucking good something is these cretins automatically despise it. And their reasons for hatred are so utterly arbitrary. They have similar problems to pointy-heads in that they will never admit somethings, but have a far greaty propensity to resort to insults and sulking.

5)Conspiracy freaks. Too many of these to mention but homewrecker is a great example. Completely bat shit insane. Lock themselves in a trailer butt naked apart from a tinfoil hat. Thankfully they only turn up to argue stupidly over 9/11.

Evil, loathsome bastards. And yes, it is pretty obvious I'm thinking of Animalstructure. A truly repellent bottom feeding breed of troll. HAve some high intelligence which allows them to perform the most staggering mental gymnastics ans justify some of the most nauseating opinions in TB history. Best avoided as the stench never comes out.

I think that's all of them

8)Common or garden troll. Spotted in every TB. Completely harmless. Only seeking attention. Will go away if ignored.

MOrbidObesity is another fucking nazi that fits in that group.

It's a collection of some of Queefer's more batshit moments and a fight. I'm quite pleased with it, but it needs a bit of pruning.

I'm rambling now because I haev a horrid hangover.

The wife was out, so I went home with some beer, a takeaway curry and rewatched the glory of Tremors.

The hangover came from staying up late and watching the current group of fucknuts wrecking/running the country get absolutely clobbered in the elections.

And watching the propaganda wing of the Labour party- the BBC- try to make out it wasn't that bad.

Despite, being nice, an upper middle class upbringing they think that it is moral to vote Labour.

I hate Champagne socialists- a complete group of fuckers that deserve to be fed to the graboid.

I've actually never seen the last two, so I untold riches in store for me.

Time for coffee.

Or a drink.

What I have observed, during my first few weeks here, is that some of the more extreme voices, be they left leaning or right ward, tend to drive the TB's in fascinating and hysterical - and I mean that in both the classical psychotic derivation, as well as the colloquial humorous interpretation -intentional or otherwise, directions.

It seems that the longer lasting TB's are when the looney emerge, and it becomes a pile-on to see who can layeth the smacketh down the most.

This is especially so with regard to the political TB's. Actually, quite a few of the TB's turn political even when the subjects are seemingly politically neutral.

I know, I find myself drawn to the political as well, because I enjoy a good stimulating debate - ok, I know this is AICN and it can be like trawling through 100 foot deep sewage to find a 1/4 carat diamond, before you are likely to stumble onto someone who does not immediately insult the ancestry of your grandmother, your second cousin, and your dog, all in the same breath. But still, even when the looney's and the truly scary trolls emerge from their caves, and start frothing, it makes for some funny reading!

Frankly if the TB wasn't so entertaining I don't think I'd come here. It's the fact that it can skew from Narnia-animal genitals-torture porn- warwick-bears that makes it brilliant.
