Derek Flint compares INDY 4 favorably to WRATH OF KHAN! Plus new trailer in glorious Quicktime HD!

First? by TRON	May 10th, 2008 08:55:37 AM

I always have wanted to do that by TRON	May 10th, 2008 08:55:56 AM

Promising..Khan comparison? WOW by TRON	May 10th, 2008 08:58:24 AM
After two lukewarm reviews, This looks very promising. Hope to see other good reviews
Good to hear by Gd00	May 10th, 2008 09:02:35 AM
And first, maybe?
Well, that makes me feel better by GregoryHarbin	May 10th, 2008 09:04:26 AM
I wasn't born when the last Indy movie came out, and I've been hoping against hope that this one will turn out well. Plant though this may be, a positive review gives me some more hope going into my midnight screening....
This review seems a little defensive/ but informative by g-ride9000	May 10th, 2008 09:09:30 AM
It's nice to read something so even keeled. that one Merrick put up was more one sided and poorly written. Lets say it kids, they obviously hit some "Classic Indy" 3 pointers. The negs on this are paper thin. Ask yourself if you want to like this movie...
thank you by bluebottle	May 10th, 2008 09:09:37 AM
"Unlike Rocky, Indy steps into the ring for combat after the first reel." the whole comparison to rocky balboa was beautifully put.
Iknow its early sat, but I want to see those paper thin hater ar by g-ride9000	May 10th, 2008 09:11:31 AM
what the fuck do I pay the the new ATT for all this band with if nerds sleep in on saturday.

I don't understand... by rbatty024	May 10th, 2008 09:13:34 AM
who can not be excited about this film. I liked the new trailer. I think extending the scenes add just a little more impact.

Wow, that is nice, and that is what WE hope to see...
Finally, a POSITIVE review. by HarryBlackPotter	May 10th, 2008 09:16:53 AM
Sounds like it's gonna do exactly what it says on the tin. Can't wait.

Big green leafy plant.
HELL YES!!! by solobear	May 10th, 2008 09:29:06 AM
This reveiw seems a lot more legitimate than the first few, and not just because it's more positive-although I can't help but love THAT!! I think all these naysayers that have been pushing their questionable cinematic "wisdom" in recent days are going to be proven wrong in a big way come May 22. I know I'll be grinning, and so will all the other fans of these magnificent action/adventure masterpieces. GO INDY!!!
Remember when people claimed the Pirates of the Carribean... by rbatty024	May 10th, 2008 09:34:53 AM
trilogy was the new Indiana Jones or new Star Wars. There was also the same talk about The Matrix movies. It's kind of sad that no one has been able to replicate the thrills of the old masters. Both trilogies had terrible second and third installments. There just wasn't enough for more than one film. It'll be nice to have Spielberg back to show the youngsters how it's done.
The Divorce by phaedrus007	May 10th, 2008 09:35:18 AM
Not to get picky, but it was Spielberg that was having the messy divorce.
fiester, no brainer, no plant by g-ride9000	May 10th, 2008 09:35:27 AM
the only thing planted on this page is your sense of entitlement. This review makes real points about plot points, cinematography and acting. There is not one unjustified point in the whole artical. You are also a douch.
Indy is coming by pepino	May 10th, 2008 09:36:03 AM
To show the national treasure generation how its done.
The trailer: by THT3000	May 10th, 2008 09:44:16 AM
The second best from the three.
phaedrus007 by Jay Jay	May 10th, 2008 09:46:11 AM
Spielberg AND Lucas were both going through/had just been through messy divorces at the time.
science fiction elements by kafka07	May 10th, 2008 09:54:02 AM
kind of make sense for the time period the film takes place in, I guess I can buy it now.
by AllieJamison	May 10th, 2008 09:55:43 AM
Interesting. Especially considering the not necessarily Indy-loving place Derek Flint is coming from. I just hope Neill Cumpston already has his tickets.
I guess the check cleared. by Karl Hungus	May 10th, 2008 10:00:02 AM
That read less like a review and more like damage control. Of course, right out of the gate, I can't take it seriously because it implies with a straight face that Last Crusade is better than Temple of Doom. Whoops.
Hey, Planty McPlant... by Merriman Lyon	May 10th, 2008 10:00:02 AM
......At least SEE the movie before you plant a positive review on this site. This 'review' is too vague to be real. The negative reviews had far more detail about specific plot points. And this review isn't even positive. It's defensive - and it's asking us not to give poor old KOTCS a hard time over its obvious failings. After all, the people involved are dear old senior citizens. So that excuses them making such a bad movie? They should have known better than to make it in the first place.
the fact that this reviewer didn't like "temple of doom" ... by Toe Jam	May 10th, 2008 10:04:10 AM
totally negates any stock i put in his critique.
No-one has said anything was great about it yet! by performingmonkey	May 10th, 2008 10:06:19 AM
Every review is either critical or defending it due to the Indy legacy. But what the hell is actually GREAT about this movie??? Not much, it seems. After 20 years people don't want just another installment, one that's worse than Crusade. For all its flaws TPM certainly wasn't that. I commend Lucas for what he did with TPM (not AOTC and ROTS though, which should have been written and directed by others)

That's it? THAT"S what this movie's about??? by Merriman Lyon	May 10th, 2008 10:12:16 AM
Holy Jesus, I don't believe it. The story's about returning a 'crystal skull' to temple.....? Are you f**king kidding me? THAT'S the mcguffin that Lucas has been holding out for? Holding out FOR TWENTY YEARS? HA HA! Jesus. I've never seen such a lazy, half-hearted trailer. It looks unfinished - edited by people who had better things to do, and who in the end couldn't be bothered. Does ANYONE at Lucasfilm actually care about this franchise? Jesus, they keep using that shot of some kid in an Indy costume swinging off the top of a crate. I thought this movie was about the old Indiana Jones - not Young Indiana Jones. The whole thing's a joke.

One thing i see in the trailers by red_weed	May 10th, 2008 10:17:12 AM
is that Janusz Kaminski still insits on smoking out the frame and making all the light glow and halo. I can deal with it in other films. I think it worked well in war of the worlds the way they blended the effects with that look. But goddamn this is an indy film! none of the others look like that and it's just annoying to me now. I'm over it. It should look crisp, you should see the dirt on their faces. the lights should produce animorphic flares as the pass the edges of the frames! just like the other movies! Is this fogging supposed to show that indy is older? that everything is slightly blurred the indy's old eyes? Oh i dunno. Who with me on this??!?! Anyone? no... ok. forget it. YAY INDY
I liked the way Indy said "WE ARE GOING TO DIE!" by Tacom	May 10th, 2008 10:20:43 AM
I liked how pissed off at Willie Scott and I thought it was supposed to be intentionally funny. Anyway this and Harry Steele's review gives me hope. I was actually hoping from what I've read from spoilers about age and father and son and an old flame that it would be like "Wrath of Kahn" in a good way. Star Trek II is the only Trek movie that's as great as the classic series IMO.
How was Last Crusde received by Jor-El23	May 10th, 2008 10:28:10 AM
Upon it's initial release? I know in 1989, without much of an internet to speak of, there wasn't a forum for nerd backlash. I was 10 when it came out and I loved it, along with the other Indy movies. But I was young. I didn't react the same way to the Prequels. I liked them but they don't mean as much to me as the original trilogy does. That being said, I have young cousins who love the prequels as much as they love the original trilogy. What am I trying to say? You've grown up, you've aged, you've seen a lot of bad knock-off movies and you're jaded. Indy 4 will never be as good as the original 3 were to you.
WE ARE GOING TO DIE by red_weed	May 10th, 2008 10:28:29 AM
is my fav line! what makes it great is the ridiculous look he gives after it and they hold on it just long enough for it to sink in and become hilarious hahahaha. DOOM is my favorite out of the 3. always has been and probably always will be. I still think it has the best set pieces and the best creepy crawlies.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING SO MUCH?
This does not sound good... by Hooded Justice	May 10th, 2008 10:38:28 AM
So let's recap: we have four reviews. Two say the movie is awful. One says it's not awful, just mediocre. Great. Now this review apologises for the movie and asks us to give it a chance?? Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Added to that is another of these strangely boring trailers. What are Lucasfilm playing at? Usually, the best scenes are in the trailer (then you go to the movie and discover that it doesn't live up to the promise of the trailer). That's the point of trailers: to hype the movie up and get you excited. But the Indy 4 trailers are different. Are Lucasfilm DELIBERATELY making dull trailers to lower public expectations? wouldn't be surprised - especially after the Phantom Menace disaster.

Why the capitals? Why no punctuation or complete sentences? Makes it very hard to understand what you're saying.
Merriman Lyon... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 10:45:18 AM
Oh, hoo-Ray! Merriman Lyon is back. And he still has nothing positive or worthwhile to say, as continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates. This is gonna be one fun day!
Has any heard of "Tounge and Cheek" by g-ride9000	May 10th, 2008 10:46:20 AM
because that was the entire point of Raiders and the whole thing. A little inside joke that has nostalgic elements at every turn. This jungle serial on steroids was great because its mash-up theme benefited from the modern film techniques and visual effects. Regardless of their plot point choices within the framework, the framework seems to have stayed intact for KOTCS. As far as those plot details, each film has their giant boulders and also their willie scotts. SO STOP HATING AND THINK, HAVE A DISCUSSION. Does this film's choice of plot points work with in the pre-established framework? Do those plot point represent the good taste of the original? LET DISCUSS SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
scotsman75 by kwisatzhaderach	May 10th, 2008 10:47:10 AM
Away and watch Speed Racer and Narnia.
I recently watched the Indy Trilogy in the past few weeks by romanocc	May 10th, 2008 10:47:40 AM
We have to put things in perspective, Raiders is a classic that still holds up today, and TOD & TLC were fun 2-hour rides that hold up pretty well. What makes Indiana Jones iconic......Indiana Jones! I will say it and say it again as to why people didn't love the Prequels, or say movies today that are catered to action and CGI, ITS THE CHARACTERS STUPID!!! When you create an iconic character, you have an affection for that person on screen, and you will atleast enjoy it, whether it is great or good. People had problems with the PT cause they didn't care about Padme & Anakin, and in some ways Kenobi, and if you put Luke, Leia, and Han in those same situations, we may still not love it, but we will atleast care! Indiana Jones is just cool, he is the John Wayne/Steve McQueen/Humphrey Bogart of action films, and that is why people will enjoy this film. John McClaine, John Rambo, Rocky Balboa are all able to have sequels after the fact because they are great characters. I don't think Indy IV will be a cinematic classic, but if you enjoy the series, how can you hate the film?
Hooded Justice... by jones1899	May 10th, 2008 10:48:23 AM
Um the first two reviews looked fake. The third was very positive and this one is even more so positive. By my count thats 2-0. Positive reviews win.

That's too bad. by neverhed	May 10th, 2008 10:53:32 AM
I was really harboring hope for this movie, despite Shia LeDouche. With everything more I see.. that hope dwindles more and more. That trailer makes INDY 4 look like about as much fun as LAWRENCE WELK.

lucas was right -- people expect this to be the second coming. objectively, it probably fits right alongside the rest of the films in terms of action/quality. spielberg did this by design. and, had he not, ya'll would still be complaining. the foregoing notwithstanding, the majority of the movie-going public will completely dig this movie, as this site makes up a .000001% fraction of same.

..."Harrison Ford’s line reading of “We… are… going… to die!” still makes me cringe." Clearly this person has no sense of humor or comedic timing, and sees these films as background noise while he's attempting to read Faulkner or something. I could care less about his opinion on the matter, positive or not.
ALSO -- indy v. dark knight..... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 10:59:20 AM
There is no competition here. The two films come out nearly TWO months apart, they appeal to different demographics, and they aren't in the same genre. They're both "hero" films, but you can't for one second tell me batman is anything akin to indy. If anything, Indy's main competition is the MUMMY 3. Puh-lease.
Jones... by Hooded Justice	May 10th, 2008 10:59:32 AM
No, the first two reviews are only 'fake' to people who don't like what they say. They are detailed and balanced in tone - and do not show any particular agenda. They are pretty unremarkable, actually. They have been 'called into question' by people who DO have an agenda: fanboys. If those reviews were for any other movie, no one would doubt them for a second. Review no.3 says it's better than the mediocre Last Crusade - but NOT AS GOOD as the equally-mediocre Temple Of Doom. That's not a recommendation to a lot of fans who - like me - think the sequels were very inferior to the original Raiders. I remember that even Spielberg officially apologised for Temple Of Doom in the years following its release. This reviewer compares KOTCS to Wrath of Kahn (a pretty good movie) only in terms of some plot similarities. He does NOT compare it in terms of quality. His overall tone is more one of apology - not of recommendation. And frankly, if I were to question the authenticity of any of these reviews, it would be this one: it's very, very light on specific details.

Hooded Justice by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 11:03:39 AM
Those negative reviews were written by film geeks -- agree or disagree? If they posted on this site, they aren't representative of the average filmgoer, nor are they representative of the average critic. Yes?
Wow, that was like, well written by Jaka	May 10th, 2008 11:07:29 AM
And well thought out, everything in the right place. This is actually the first Indy review I've read, and probably the last. This one was nice and level, answered a few questions, gave away a few small bits, but didn't go too far to either side of praise or bashing. Like everyone else, I have my own expectations, and I'd rather go in feeling level, or even positive, than looking out for the negative things I might have read.
Point is.... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 11:08:45 AM
everything that lucas said would happen IS happening. It's almost comical. if raiders came out today, for the first time, I'm sure the people on this site would rip it apart. "the sets look fake," "the arc attacking scene looks corny," "the action's too slow." give me a break. And what's with all of the speed racer love on this site? the critical consensus is that Speed Racer is a cinematic abomination. Yet this site bashes indy? One of the reasons I'm guess this site exists? Huh? And Sarah Marshall is AWESOME? HUH!? I bet if that hill dude from superbad was in shia's role, this reviewers on this site would be lovin' it up.

er, jarjarjockstrap... by Hooded Justice	May 10th, 2008 11:10:21 AM
'Film geeks' are human beings too. There's nothing about any of these four reviews that suggests they weren't written by reasonably intelligent, articulate adults. Their opinions are valid, just like yours or mine.

jarjarsjockstrap by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 11:12:04 AM
That's because nobody here gives a shit about Speed Racer but we do give a shit about Indy. We just don't want to see Lucas and company sodomize the series like we all know he's capable of.

I saw this movie... by TopHat	May 10th, 2008 11:12:34 AM
...and its horrible. If you don't think Lucas is a hack after this AND the prequels, then you're either delusional or in denial. Everything you'd think is going to be revealed and happen, does. This is a typical Lucas/Spielberg "for the fans" cop-out. Now, the most interesting part of all of this is the excuses fans will make up to defend it. I think Harry and Quint's introductions to these reviews pretty much scream "I'm giving this movie a positive review no matter what!". It'll be fascinating to hear Moriarty's take. But, it'll probably be much of the same "Is it prefect? No. But, damned if I didn't have a great time!" I'm sure we won't be able to count on a comparison of the movie with Frank Darabot's script; that will show the obvious kinks in Lucas' armor. Even though Moriarty is supposedly friends with Darabot, and is already in Lucasfilm's bad graces. Yep, this'll be a typical "If you don't like this movie, then you don't GET movies" senario that's become all too familiar for AICN these past years. Its as if the fanboy community has given up on blockbusters being fun AND extremely well-made like they used to. Just include some throw-backs and homages to those movies, make it "fun", and you'll get a favorable review. I mean, X-MEN 3, TRANSFORMERS, FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER, getting good reviews? Really? Fandom made excuses for the SW prequels the same blindly way that born-again Christians make excuses for the Bush adminstration. I for one, do NOT want to settle for "well, its fun" or "at least it took the source material seriously". I want the same great movies I grew up with. And I don't mean the same FEELINGS I got watching them. I want them just as well-made and original. But, how is that going to happen if we keep giving working film-makers today free passes? Especially the same film-makers who MADE these great movies of yesteryear? Zemekis, ANOTHER Christmas Carol? Really? Cameron, a story about a guy who goes to a planet with giant cats, ala WIZARD OF OZ? Really? Lucas, a clone wars animated feature AND live-action SW TV show? Really? Spielberg, ANOTHER Indian Jones movie where he's old and you have to pair him up with his long-lost son and Marion? Really? Miller, HAPPY-FUCKING-FEET?? And, what do we have in the "up-and-coming" department of blockbuster movie makers? Stephen Summers? Tim Story? The guy from SWINGERS? The guy from THE LAST SEDUCTION. WILLAIM-FUCKING-RIKER from the Next Generation?? Yes, IRON MAN was okay, but, does it really compare to the movies we all grew up with? And again, not in FEELING. Not in HOMAGE. And yes, there's Nolan and Singer (even though he managed to make Superman boring) but, even their movies, that I've seen (haven't see Dark Knight yet), don't compare. They're like very precise intellectual exercises, where they make sure to cover all the rules of screenwriting that Terry Rosiaro has come up with in his Wordplay columns. Which is what Kasdan and all the other great writers and film-makers from the past did as well, but, their films never FELT as if some screenwriter was tacking up index cards on a bulletin board while you watched them. Where's the magic? Do you really think 3-D will save us? Do we really need an IMAX screen to get back to what we all grew up with? I don't think so. I believe a better and less costly way is to criticise these movies that come out now when they don't deliver. No more free passes for "just okay" or "it was fun". Time to get back to work. Break time's over.
Hooded justice... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 11:13:29 AM
I agree. I'm just saying they're not representative of the average filmgoer. And, of course, I value their opinions. And, of course, I think they'll see this movie in droves -- even if they think it sucks. Same thing happened with the prequels. They're still film fans, at the end of the day.

Go fuck yourself already! nobody wants to read your childish CAPITALIZED rants every other post ok? you clearly have or border on a mental instability to be so worked up over a movie you still have yet to see. Somewhere in your ypbringing someone never taught you haw to temper your disapointment i guess, cause ranting like you are on an internet talk board about a movie that you have predetermined to hate and tear down without any first hand knowledge reeks of a mental problem.

SK229 is correct by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 11:22:03 AM
It IS about the character, and that, too, was my only concern about the film. But, Ford looks like he's up to the task, and the trailers indicate just that. I can't believe the people on this site wanted someone else cast as Indy. FORD IS INDY. Indy lives with ford and dies with ford -- PERIOD. The reason the character is so awesome is because FORD made him awesome. Many others have tried to play indy (frazier in the mummy, hairless cage in national treasure, jolly in tomb raider, matthew magagsneyey in sahara, etc, etc, etc), and they all failed miserably. MISERABLY. No one is indy BUT ford. Hell, the reason the PREQEULS sucked was because they lacked a Han-solo type of character. They lacked Ford. When ford is on -- he's on.

I have a problem with 20 + posts in CAPS just spewing out hate and Venom with no intelligent discussion or ctiticism behind it . I doubt Scotsman even tried or wanted to like this movie....just a hunch.
Scotsman75 - Cheers, mate. Sound amazing. by HarryBlackPotter	May 10th, 2008 11:23:08 AM
Seriously, I know you're just pissing on it because you've swallowed too much cum and it's warped your brain, but this sounds fucking tops. Great work cock muncher!

Regardless, I'm there. by Grendel745	May 10th, 2008 11:28:59 AM
You'd think Ford and company was coming to your house and lighting a turn on fire on your front step. All I'm asking for is to be entertained for a while for my $10, which I know Indy will do. Raiders, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade did that back in the day and in a few weeks Crystal Skull will carry forth that legacy. The Indy movies are not some cinematic holy grail (and neither are the original Star Wars films), despite my deep and abiding love for them (and the original trilogy). Its a frakking movie. There are many, many things Hollywood does that will work me into a angry frenzy (talk of remaking Casablanca being #1 on the list) but releasing a new Indiana Jones movie isn't one of them. I know that when I go opening weekend with my two older sons (ages 9 and 12) that we're going to be thoroughly entertained which is the entire reason I watch movies.
It Belongs in a Museum! by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 11:29:04 AM
Has anyone ever noticed that Indy never got to keep any of the treasures he was looking for except the cross thing at the beginning of Crusade? Does he finally get to keep a treasure in IJ4?
Regarding those seventies directors... by rbatty024	May 10th, 2008 11:29:52 AM
I think Spielberg is one of the few who hasn't lost his touch. Catch Me if You can is an absolute classic and I also enjoyed Minority Report despite Tom Cruise. Even when he has a miss, like Terminal, at least it's an interesting movie. He's not afraid of moving away from his comfort zone. I love how he says he made the new Indy movie basically because it would be fun. Hopefully that attitude translates into the final product.
I am so looking forward to this flick... by Mistahtibbs	May 10th, 2008 11:30:05 AM

Why don't you pack up your foul-mouthed ramblings and head to your room. I think your time would be better spent playing with toy phasers in your make-believe engine room. Leave these talkbacks to people who actually give a damn.

CLoVERFIELD MONSTER!!!!!!! by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 11:39:36 AM
I hear the cloverfield monster makes a cameo in this movie, and then gizmo fights in him Mortal Kombat!
Give it a chance... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 11:40:00 AM
Let's give Shia, and everykne else in this film and behind the scenes of this film the chance. I'm betting they made a movie that we'll enjoy and that they will be proud of.
RE: It Belongs in a Museum! by Mission Code Z	May 10th, 2008 11:40:20 AM
Wouldn't it be cool, and fitting, if the series ends with the fertility idol back in Indy's hands...just the way it all started, from our vantage point? : )
I noticed something by Megamonki	May 10th, 2008 11:44:15 AM

THE TRUTH... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 11:47:06 AM
Megamonki has just put forth what many of us have been thinking since these INDY 4 reviews and talkbacks started. He hits the nail on the head. Why do these people feel the need to tear this film to pieces when it isn't even out yet? I do not lend any credence whatsoever to any of the negative bullshit these fanboy wannabes are putting forth.
Mission Code Z by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 11:48:02 AM
That's exactly what I thought.
LINES OF NAZCA by peruboy	May 10th, 2008 11:49:08 AM
I think this is the first time they appear in a movie, It's a shame Maria Reich is not alive to see it. Probably she would said "For God's sake it's not alien!!" lol
HERB WEST by solobear	May 10th, 2008 11:53:40 AM
Hey, Herb, if you're still out there, I have a question for you. How long have you been a voice of reason on these talkbacks?

I Hear Ya! by solobear	May 10th, 2008 11:58:36 AM
Y'know, it's hard to be civil and try to have an intelligent conversation when you're surrounded by all this unfounded negativity. The crap that some of these numbskulls resort to saying is not intelligent or amusing. Why do they waste their time? I Do enjoy talking with others about film, even when their opinions don't mesh with mine, but that's half the fun of it. But this other stuff goes way far around the bend.

You're little more than a hemorhoid. Tell me this, Scotty, is it even remotely possible that you might have something useful or halfway intelligent to say?

Jeff Bridges by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:07:46 PM
I thought that Jeff Bridges was great as the villain. He, and the rest of the cast of IRON MAN were excellent. That flick was one helluva great way to kick off the summer movie season.

You're the one who needs to get his facts straight-everything you have have been putting out here for the masses is nothing but venom-filled, hate-laced garbage. If you'd like to join in and have a pleasant conversation, terrific. Otherwise, shut your stinking pie-hole. You're not funny, just sad. Go play bully somewhere else.

The Ark by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:22:24 PM
It sounds like you get to see the Ark, or at least the crate containing it, for a moment, but nothing more. Maybe Indy will get to make some crack about it. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
"we are going to die" is a great fucking line by darwinmayflower	May 10th, 2008 12:23:18 PM

Sebulba... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:24:28 PM
Funny you should mention that. I'm listening to the EPISODE I sscore as we talkback, and the piece of music playing at this very moment is the Flag Parade piece. Nothing beats some good John Williams orchestral goodness. Nw, if that darn INDY 4 score would just come out...
That's what I was afraid of... by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 12:25:17 PM
Did they really stage that whole warehouse part just so we could get a glimpse of the ark and that's it? That's a rip off. I really hoped Indy would be able to keep something for once.
Scotsman... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:26:22 PM
If I have insulted you, then I beg your forgiveness. But I do find that much of your acid-toned comments are negatively provocative, to say the least. Tell me, ar eyou the fellow who said he just got a copy of the film earlier?
Herb... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:27:40 PM
I agree, Herb. Maybe this time he'll get to keep Marion. Just think, that might give Indy the oncentive to go looking for that Fertility Idol again...
Iron Monger by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:29:21 PM
Of course he couldn't, Telemarketer. That is, unless he gets his hands on one of them big ass TRANSFORMER robots. Then old Iron Monger would be turned into tin foil pretty damn quick!
telemarketer, Sebulba would still win!!!! Even if Uwe Bol joined by jarjarsjockstrap	May 10th, 2008 12:30:05 PM
Sebulba and Watto are the greatest CGI creations in cinema history. With Watto playing "Mickey" to Sebulba's "Rocky," Mutt, Iron Monger, Jessica Alba, AND Uwe Bol would all be royally screwed. When Sebulba rolls up 'longside ya and flashes his grill -- it's game over.
scotsman75 by DirkD13"	May 10th, 2008 12:30:43 PM

The end of Crusade had an immortal Knight and death by instant aging. Why should aliens and saucers be a problem? I would certainly find aliens alot easier to believe in than anything remotely biblical, I don't understand your (la)beef. These are not exactly Ken Loach films, ya dig?

You negative cunts never fail to amuse me. You hate everything but those cock-sucking hobbits. Kevin Smith was right, an entire trilogy dedicated to walking. FUCK LOTR right up it's tired old ass! Indy will be a welcomed return! It will be great to see adults in movies again instead of these pussy, liberal, mealy-mouthed, hand-wringing twats who wouldn't know what hero meant was it was tattooed on their taint. You Prequel bashers can eat some fuck as well as the Star Wars flicks are just fine for the TRUE fans and those that paid attention. If you hate those films you were never that big a fan to begin with, that's the fucking truth! Indy will be the highest grosser this year, although Dark Knight gives some competition due to it being Ledger's final film, so it could be horserace with the two. And fuck Speed Racer as well, a phony movie for a phony affliction like HDD. Shitty cartoon = shittier movie, makes sense. As for the bashers, you can kiss my hairy yellow ass!
OK, Lay off of Scotsman now.... by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 12:47:44 PM

Yelnick... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:48:19 PM
I agree with you man-on most accounts anyway, and perhaps not as vociferously. I dig all six STAR WARS films, the INY films, and I'm sick of prelease film-bashing by people who haven't seen it. BUT...I also liked the LORD OF THE RINGS films, I'm going to see SPEED RACER with an open mind, and I don't particularly care for Kevin Smith or his films. But, I think that we're on the same page, bud!
Herb... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 12:50:23 PM
I agree with ya Herb. I think I will ignore him. I tried to say sorry, but the guy-or girl-just threw it back in my face. Life goes on. I'm gonna see INDY and that's all that matters!!!
I've read all of scotsman's post... by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 12:53:02 PM
and I don't think he's actually seen the film. He certainly has an inside source because he is right about certain plot points, but they are a bit out of order and leave's out a few other details. He's either been told things by someone who's seen it or worked on it, or seen pieces somehow... maybe at a trailer house.

Carol/Marion by g0dai	May 10th, 2008 01:14:02 PM
I think the comparison only survives until you consider the impact of Marion's reappearance being exponentially more meaningful. She appeared in a previous movie whereas Carol Marcus was essentially retconned in for plot reasons... Hearing that they underutilized Karen Allen is a major disaappointment. Maybe John Hurt's appearance will help offset that, but I've barely heard a peep about that!
and another thing by Megamonki	May 10th, 2008 01:15:01 PM
this I disagree on Indy's "we are going to die!" line is my favorite in the whole series Ford's delivery and the face he makes afterward make laugh everytime

One good review and some of you are ready to totally fellatiate this guy. I'll stick with my gut based on the trailer, other reviews and comments from those involved in the film from various interviews that this movie sucks donkey dick. Those of you with your head in the sand who have HUGE expectations for this movie don't forget to swallow as no one likes a spitter.

Carol Marcus by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 01:32:02 PM
What was the history of Carol Marcus. Was she a character from the original Star Trek show?
I'm watching Last Crusade right now by vadakinX	May 10th, 2008 01:47:09 PM
It's on TV and has just reached the three tests...I've gotta say, it's no Raiders, but it's still a damn fun movie. If Indy IV is even close to Last Crusade or Temple of Doom, it will be worth it.
WORTH IT by solobear	May 10th, 2008 01:53:00 PM
I have no doubt that this is going to be a good movie. Face it, Steven Spielberg doesn't make bad movies. Even things like 1941 and THE COLOR PURPLE (I like the first, not the second) have some redeeming qualities. All of Spielberg's films are well-made. Of course, some are better than others, but that's the case with anyone who directs more than one film. But it's going to take a helluva lot more than screaming juvenile rants to give up on this film. I'll see it for myself and form my own opinion then, thank you very much.
Carol Marcus by solobear	May 10th, 2008 01:57:08 PM
No she was brought in for TREK II. In my opinion, she was there to try and humanize Kirk a bit. Let's face it. At that point in the TREK saga (1982) Shatner was a bit long in the tooth to be believably bedding down with every 19-year-old Playboy figured space damsel that he came across, as he seemed to do in the original series. Carol Marcus she made Kirk's mid-life crisis sub-plot a bit easier to bite into. But it was one movie and done for Ms. Marcus.
Carol Marcus part II by solobear	May 10th, 2008 01:59:40 PM
Carol Marcus and Kirk's son was in both TREK II and III, but he was a bit of a wasted character, especially in TREK III where he was so conveniently killed off by the Klingons in front of Saavik and the young/reborn Spock. Boy, did THAT piss old Kirk off!

DIE HARD 4 by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:03:37 PM
I wish that LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD had had more of an edge to it, but I still got a big kick out of seeing McClane back in action again.
Maybe you can't go home again... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:07:12 PM
but that doesn't mean that all of these revival films-INDY 4, DIE HARD 4, ROCKY BALBOA, RAMBO-aren't still a kick to watch. They may not be as fresh as the originals, but I'd didn't expect that they would be.
William Hurt??? by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:09:06 PM
You mean John (chestburster) Hurt, right?
William Hurt by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:10:19 PM
If he were William Hurt's stepson, wouldn't he be lost in space, or trapped in an isolation tank or something?

John Hurt by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:17:22 PM
Does Indy and his posse find him in one of those cells we catch a brief glimpse of in the trailer? He certainly looks like he hasn'r bathed in a year.

Here's a question a little off the subject... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:19:47 PM
Does anyone know if the INDY 4 score has been posted anywhere yet. I heard brief pieces of each of the cuts from the CD on Amazon.com, but I want more!!!!
scotsman is wrong by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 02:25:30 PM
Hurt is in the film longer than 6 or 7 min... he's in it almost as much as Karen Allen. And Mutt is not his stepson... that would mean he and Marion were married and they are not. This guy has bits of info he's trying to piece together and say he's seen it.

Please , Please tell me you live in the l.a. area so i can put a uwe boll on you
The Legitimacy of the Scotsman by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:29:48 PM
I think Scotsman said earlier that he had a copy of the film. I asked about this and got no response. Not to point the finger at him, but a lot of what I've been reading (i.e. the reviews) seem a little lacking in detail. I haven't seen the film, but each day I see something slip out that helps me paint a bigger and more complete picture of what the INDY 4 story is. I enjoy reading this stuff, but until I see the film, I'm going to be taking it all with a grain of salt.
be waiting for by t40stunt	May 10th, 2008 02:30:10 PM

LENO by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:33:00 PM
Last night I caught Harrison Ford on Jay Leno. I was a litle ticked off that they showed no clip from the film. Leno and Ford batted about the fact that the film is "veiled in secrecy." What we got to see was the clip of Ford getting slimed at the Kid's CHoice Awards, and his environmentalist spot about the rain forests being chopped down. That let us see Mr. Ford getting his chest waxed. HO HUM!!! I wanted a clip, goddamn it!!!
This douche just told us... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 02:33:29 PM
GL's excuse was comendable. That a movie that is anticipated this much can never live up to the expectation. He had the fucking audacity to sit there and shit in our collective pockets and tell us it's hailing. What GL was really saying was I know I'm out of touch with reality and I made this movie 15 years too late because now I'm really incredibly bad at making movies because I'm surrounded by people that refuse to tell me no so everything I touch turns to shit and I let Speilberg cast some kid with a jew fro that nobody likes as Indy's bastard son thereby making IJ a deadbeat fucking dad.

I misread you name and called you StuntCock. My bad. poeticWarrior-interesting observations. GL is some producer of shit. Remarkably tasteless man. What direction would you have taken the film?
INDY/TREK by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:38:48 PM
WRATH OF KHAN still holds up as one of the two top TREK films-the other is, in my humble opinion, FIRST CONTACT. I got the feeling that the comparison has to do with the Older Indy-Older Kirk thing. The one thing that I think Indy 4 will lack is a villain that is as powerful as Khan.

The John Hurt stuff by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:43:05 PM
From the time I first saw RAIDERS in 1981, I always thought that the ABner Ravenwood thing was something that should have been explored in one of the sequels. I figured that he would somehow turn up, either tracking down Indy for help, or having Indy somehow stumble across him in some far corner of the globe. If all of what I'm reading is true, then the rampant rumors about John Hurt being Abner Ravenwood are rubbish. It's just another one of those ideas that has apparently drifted by the wayside.
I agree with the aforementioned sentiment by kolchak	May 10th, 2008 02:44:26 PM

that was some bald twat they plucked out of the old folks home and placed beside a used Dildo. That movie was a huge stinking turd. Secondly, GL apparently didn't learn from SR. He must've thought that putting some stinking tampon in a movie playing the bastard son of a beloved character was a great idea. We now have trailer park trash Indy. Congratulations to the duo of stupidity for ruining one more of their cash cows.

Okay-so somehow you've gotten your greedy mits on a copy of the movie. I envy you. Answer one question-I've heard a lot about surprise cameos in the film. Are they true, and who are they? And, please, no smart ass crap, just a straight answer. After all, Lucky Charms or not, SPOILERS is what this web site is founded on. So let loose!

Scotsman by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:49:14 PM
Thanks, man. I appreciate it. But I was so hoping for a grown up Short Round or Papa Jones appearance. I guess Sean Connnery wasn't rtying to pull the wool over everyones eyes by saying he was done with acting.

You have them eating out of your hand. Nice! Again where did you get the copy?
SEAN CONNERY by solobear	May 10th, 2008 02:51:32 PM
I guess that I should have given up on Sean Connery when I saw him in that AVENGERS travesty that came out a few years back. I did always think that Connery would have been a kick-ass villain in a new Bond film, though. THAT would have been a masterstroke of casting.

LOOK BOTTOM LINE IS... by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 02:52:08 PM
CRYSTAL SKULL will be a fun movie. I can say this because I'm working on it in some way (sorry, can't tell how) and I know the story, dialouge and scenes in order, as well as the score and I'm telling you IT'S NO PHANTOM MENACE! Are there some moments when people will say "I wish they hadn't gone there." YES. But that shouldn't detract from the overall fun of one last Indy adventure. People that go in with a pre-concievced notion of what the film "should" be are already sabotaging their experience. The film delivers some great action scenes and funny Indy moments. Is it over the top at times? YES, but all of the films were and that's the fun of them. They are E-ticket rides like Space Mountain at Disneyland... they are meant for thrills and chills and that's the point. George (for all his fuck ups) decided he wanted to make a B SCI-FI film with the Indiana character he created. Steven is a master at directing action and big hollywood set-pieces... what else doo you really think you're going to get? If you want a Star Wars comparison, at the least it will be as good as SITH and at best it will be like JEDI. If you really hate those tow films... don't waste your time, but if your like me and find those film exceptable for what they are and where they fit into their series, then go have fun with Indy one last time. I already have my ticket for the 22nd, see you there!

Your words are full of filmfan wisdom, brother. Comparisons are a dangerous thing when it comes to opinions that are formed before a film's release. INDY 4 will be what it is. I put my trust in Spielberg, and will judge this after I see it on the 22nd. I have no gripes so far, but it sure seems like I am a minority in this. PLEASE, just give this film a chance, people. Don't go into it with negative feelings or expectations that are bound to be dashed. Just go into it to have a good time, and I'll wager that you will come out with a big smile on your faces and a familiar John Williams theme being hummed or whistled from your grinning face. That's what we all want!

SUPRISES by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:01:54 PM
I don't care if there are surprises are in this film or not. What I do know is that it's hard to come up with surprises in film sequels. I just want it to be good. That has nothing to do with the film being full of surprises.

Part of AICN by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:05:26 PM
At this point in the game, surprises would be few and far between anyway. Here we are less than two weks away from the film's release. Many who visit this site and participate in these talkback crave the spoilers. I am one. I WANT TO KNOW. I doubt that even Lucas and Spielberg would be able to hide THE BIG SURPRISE from the AICN filmfan community for very long. The word is always out there. It's just that sometimes it's a trick to find it and discern the true from the false.

Hollywoodsummers... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:17:08 PM
If you are truly working in some form or other on the new INDY film, that I am envious of you. I got a taste of working in the film business many years ago. While in film school, I worked as a production assistant at a majjor special effects studio. It was the best job I ever had. I got to do what I'd always wanted. I got to show a bunch of people who said it would never happen how wrong they were, and I worked on a handful of major films. To this day I'm proud of that. Health issues interfered with me in the long run, but I hope that you feel the way I felt back then.
scotsman by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 03:17:56 PM
I'm assuming you have a few scenes, probably poor quality or unfinished VFX and I'm also guessing no audio. That might explain u'r misconceptions about certain points.

Working in the film business... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:20:12 PM
One of the downfalls to working on films is that you don't always get to work on the best of projects. Of the four films I worked on, three were terrific and one was a steaming pile of crap. But I will say that it was always a blast.

NEW TRAILER? Not really by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 03:28:29 PM
It's the last trailer with a few new shots thrown in. I don't understand what the point of releasing it is
DangerMan by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 03:30:28 PM
I think if he's really seen it he's pretty much giving a fair opinion of his feelings. I personally am not a big Star Treck fan, but the one I do own and like most is KAHN, so I think that says something good for the film. My personal thought is, go in to have fun and maybe nit pick a little after, but I'm sure it won't be that punch in the gut sick feeling I got after seeing PHANTOM MENACE the first time.
Yeah, the new trailer is pretty much the same as the last one. by thebearovingian	May 10th, 2008 03:30:53 PM

And what IS good, eh? Wait, wait -- lemme guess: The Dark Knight? Damn, I'm good. Dude, get over it. Go watch National Treasure and Cage's house of 100 hair pieces.
solobear by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 03:33:43 PM
Doing what I do now is fun, and I know many people who even do what I do would love to get some of the projects that I've been lucky enough to work on... but that said, It's still work.. long hours, short deadlines, and the bigger the profile on a project, the more pressure to blow people away. I'd say it's a solid mix of fun and stress.
SUPERMAN IV by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:37:25 PM
SUPERMAN IV had two major problems. First, the story sucked to begin with. And second, they got so far behind in the fx work that the fx were farmed out to a bunch of facilities so that they would be done in time. The work was rushed, and if you watch the film-which I haven't done for verrrrry Looooong time-there is very little consistency to the effects work. That was mainly due to Warner handing off the film Cannon Films, who were not exactly known for quality. They just wanted everything fast and cheap. They got that, but the quality suffered immensely.
Summers... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:40:28 PM
I hear you, Summers. It seems like the way things work nowadays, in this age of digital filmmaking, they want everything FAST. And that can add a lot of stress to an already heavy workload. Rush jobs are rarely fun. But it's still gotta feel like a priviledge to work on a film like INDIANA JONES.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the action again ! by barnaby jones	May 10th, 2008 03:42:38 PM
So many summers have past in a blur of kicks,jumps and explosions. Yet there was nothing to savour, so thank you Steven, George and Co. Thank you.
STUDIOS ARE SATAN!!! by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:45:03 PM
The studios are the ones behind all this rush, rush, rush crap. When you watch movies, you can always tell that this or that would have been better if there had been just a little more time to do something right or fine-tune something. The studio pushes the producer, who pushes the director who pushes the cast and crew, and it can get downright ugly. But, sometimes the payoff is worth it. And then there are a few filmmakers who take the time to do things right-no matter what the studios say. They are the heroes.
Filmmaking by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:48:39 PM
When you are participating in the making of a film, no matter what you're job, it can often take a lot of balls to stand up and say, "wait a second, this isn't right. We need to do..." and sometimes the people you work for are stand-up enough folks to say, "Okay, let's do that." And I can say, both from experience and from things I've heard from others, those kind of people are few and far between. And that is very unfortunate.
Kirk by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:51:18 PM
And then he gets into one of his weird-ass fistfights, using some amalgamation of tumbling and martial arts. His shirt gets torn and he beats up the bad guy.
solobear by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 03:53:41 PM
So if you worked on SUPERMAN IV, then you are at least partly responsible for the death of the franchise which in turn led to Superman Returns and the great idea of a bastard son which in turn probably led to Shia the bastard son in Indy 4. So the way I see it, if Indy 4 fails, it's all because of you. Damn you, Damn you, Solo Bear. ;-)
solobear by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 03:53:42 PM
It has been special working on Indy. Not just for my love of the films, but because my father worked on the first trilogy and so it feels like a big piece of my family memories, going to see him work, going to wrap parties, etc. He's not working on this Indy, but my godfather is so that's kinda fun to work on a project that he's on too. We also did that on Munich.
Why the "Movie" competition?? by hoorayforeric	May 10th, 2008 03:54:01 PM
MARVEL fans hated SW fans when Spidey 1 and Ep. II came out within weeks of each other...now I think we have the same MARVEL geeks trashing everything not-comic related. Indy IV will out-gross Iron Man and Dark Knight...but all three won't gross as much as Sex in the City...and unfortunately...I'm not joking!
Indy by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:54:49 PM
Indiana Jones, on the other hand, just draws his gun and shoots the bad guy. It's damn cool, and it doesn't take as much effort. A great method, especially when you're suffering from disintary.
Herb... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 03:57:34 PM
Sorry, man, I just did what I was told. But the SUPERMAN franchise was on its death bed long before I entered the picture. SUPERMAN III put him in the coffin. #4 was just the nails.
Question for Scotsman, Hollywoodsummers, Trevelyan... by Hooded Justice	May 10th, 2008 03:59:54 PM
...and those who have actually seen this movie. I think your answer will let us know if it's worth seeing or not. So far, I've found the trailers strangely unexciting - even a bit boring. Whether you agree with that impression or not, can you answer this: In your view, are the trailers downplaying the movie, i.e. deliberately showing the most uninteresting parts so as not to spoil the REAL fun? Or are the trailers showing some of the BEST and most exciting moments in the movie - in your opinion? You see, whether you personally like the trailers or not, you are in a good position to say hether or not they are truly representative of the movie. Thanking you in advance.
The Superman Disease... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 04:00:43 PM
The core of the problems with the SUPERMAN film lie with several people. It was Ilya and ALexander Salkind, Pierre SPengler and, eventually, Richard Lester who fucked up the Man of Steel. If Warners had just had the forsite to get rid of the Salkinds and Spengler and put the franchise in the hands of Richard Donner, then I think all would have been well. But, I still get goosebumps watching the late, great Christopher Reeve in the first film. He was truly the template for big screen superheroes.
Thanks for liking it! by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 04:01:45 PM

solobear by Herb West	May 10th, 2008 04:03:34 PM
Of course, I'm joking. The death of the Superman franchise HAD to have been a team effort. But my reasoning makes sense, if you see the world through these eyes. :)
Hooded Justice by hollywoodsummers	May 10th, 2008 04:07:22 PM
First off, I haven't seen the final finished film, but I've seen plenty and know the play by play and to answer your question, I think they've given the trailer editors only pieces to work with and been very strict about what they can use. The action scenes are big and the moments you see in the trailer are just snipits of much larger, much longer sequences that go on for quit a while. Hope that helps.
Herb by solobear	May 10th, 2008 04:08:04 PM
I know. The strangest thing about that experience for me was that, with the exception of seeing the spfx supervisor Harrison Ellenshaw talking to my boss one time, I had absolutely no contact with anyone else on that film. I remember going to see it with a sense of dread, knowing that, yes I workled on it, but the film sucked. I don't even have the movie, I dislike it so much. And That's not because of the work that was done by the fx studio I worked at, but because the film was so bad. Even good fx wouldn't have saved that movie. It was shit from the get-go.
Die Soft by AlwaysThere	May 10th, 2008 04:08:45 PM
There's absolutely nothing "soft" about the action scenes in Live Free or Die Hard.
EVERYBODY by CITIZENKANE	May 10th, 2008 04:10:05 PM
I normally don't talk on these boards. But, it seems to me, that the naysayers are predisposed to not liking the movie, and the supporters are predisposed to loving the movie. Here's an idea: why not wait to watch the movie, and develop an opinion of your own? I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan, and the above review is encouraging, but I'm waiting 'till May 22nd before I say ANYTHING about it.
Herb by solobear	May 10th, 2008 04:10:37 PM
And all we did on it was some last minute compositing work that others had no time to complete. Liek I said, this film was an on-going train wreck and the wreck didn't come to a complete stop until that film was falling flat on its face in theaters.
Crybaby Haters- STAY HOME! by Yelnick McWaWa	May 10th, 2008 04:11:16 PM
Thanks Solobear!@!!! Seriously, the people that actually think Spielberg would make a lousy film just need to stay home, but then that's expecting too much. Because the haters like to dump on shit and act as though they are being forced to watch it even though they got dressed, left the house, drove to the theater and plunked down their ten spot just so they can bitch and moan like the dumb whores they are. Enjoy your life for a fucking change! If Indy 4 offends your delicate little sensibilites, stay inside! I feel pity for all of those that have been brainwashed into hating the prequels or being forced to choose one series over the other. If you sheeppeople can be suckered into voting for Obama than anything can happen at this point! Guess what? I like it all, Trek, Jones, Star Wars, Galactica, Buffy/Angel.... This is America, sense when do we have to fucking choose?! Let us those that have a life and don't hate, enjoy Indy's presumably swan song and have a damn blast! I swear if I ever encountered any of you crybabies, I would love so very much to kick your ass from one end of the street to the next.

Thanks, Hollywoodsummers by Hooded Justice	May 10th, 2008 04:32:23 PM
You can understand why I asked: remember how great the trailers were for TPM? So many movies throw the best moments into the trailer, making the actual movies a disappointment. Still, in this case It's curious that Lucasfilm couldn't dig out a nice moment of snappy dialogue or a kick-ass action shot to sell their movie.
T2 by solobear	May 10th, 2008 04:34:46 PM
I remember the trailer for TERMINAtor 2. I loved it. It really got me jazzed to see that movie. But after seeing the film, I really realized what a true masterstroke it was. It got your blood pumping to see Arnold in action again without really blowing anything. I was amazed at all of the stuff that they managed to keep hidden from everyone until they saw the movie. I was completely blindsided by the T-1000. It was great. I think that that was probably the last truly internet-proof blockbuster.
Re: T2 by blindambition238	May 10th, 2008 04:39:36 PM
I was definitely too young to remember the marketing for it, but if I remember correctly most people thought the cop was going to be the hero and Arnold the villain once again.

The Trailers... by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 05:11:28 PM
The trailers are not what you should be judging the film by. In my opinion they hold back quite a bit. There was strict policy not to tell the entire story in the trailers like every other trailer. Several where thrown on the table ads examples. Dont bother asking. I not telling. They trailers are merely a starter. You'll have to show up on the 22nd for the main course.

Yo Yo Telemarketer! by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 05:45:08 PM
Great to see you back. Did you see my post earlier.? Who would win in Mutt Williams Vs RoboCop?
TeleMarketer... by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 05:48:38 PM
Whats the story yo? Do you read anything thats posted?
I heard Mutt Williams once by kolchak	May 10th, 2008 05:50:34 PM
took a Krispy Kreme from Rosanne Barr and lived to tell the tale.
Kolchak... by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 05:52:58 PM
Is telemarketer high? He's fascinated with swords and does appear to read any posts.
Im not sure. by kolchak	May 10th, 2008 05:55:05 PM
But seeing as I'm not too fond of Shia to begin with, I welcome the lampooning with open arms. That's what the internet is all about, right?
Nice to see you respond T.. by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 05:56:00 PM
Nonsense of course they can. if Mutt had a lightsaber he could chop'n'shop Robo. If you cant see this pose a possible match. Mutt Williams Vs ????

What it really comes down to... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 06:19:44 PM
is that this is a movie that can't stand on its own. It's a movie that has to have excuses made because, while it's not a shitty idea, it was done by two shitty people that unfortunately have become obese and fucking lazy in the work they do. The prequels were utter underwhelming trash. GL was trying for a goddamn mulligan with IJ and instead he stuck black thunder back in his ass and rode it like there's no tomorrow by introducing some shitastic character named Mutt as IJ son. I mean Mutt???? Who didn't stop this fucking douche and tell him that was a bad idea????? Spielberg and Lucas are just two guys sucking each other off over how "genius" they are. Hey look, Shite LeButtfuck is playing some shit character everybody, it worked for transformers why not us? I have a distinct feeling that if Mutt and Indy were real people Indy would cut his fucking dick and balls off for spawning something as douche worthy as Mutt.
Alex Trevelyan, you cockroach... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 06:24:57 PM
if you can't figure out why Shite LeButtfuck is disliked you've obviously not watched even a minute of this colossal douche bags "work", and I use the word "work" lightly here. This fuckstick has one character that he does in every movie he's in. It's the same cunty dunce why can't I get laid Jew Fro'd shit face aren't I so funny pole smoker character EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Poetic Warrior... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 06:38:56 PM
Poetic Warrior is a juvenile and jealous fellow. He just wishes he could come up with something that could be one iota as clever or successful as Lucas and Spielberg. Apparently some dumbass in the past named Luke Spielberg rear ended his beat-up VW bug, and Mr. Warrior found out that the guy was uninsured. Now, he is forced to live with a sizeable dent on his rusty car. This has angered him to the point of vicious name-calling. Someone...please help him. For the love of God...DO SOMETHING!!!

with your head stuck up your ass and you sit around in your under wear playing nintendo in your parents basement and drinking Mt. Dew all day, but coming on here and trying to act like you actually have an imagination of some sort by making some lame retarded supposed insult about what car you think I drive because the zit you had on your nose this morning reminded you of Mutt and you've been jacking off to your homemade fan movie where you've pieced together all the Mutt footage you could get your hands on thereby enabling you to jack off unfettered and you've created a giant ball from all the tissue paper you've been using to catch your diseased puss ridden genetic material, is not a good idea. Fuck you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to waste what you try to call a life on typing some stupid dip shit message to me though you incredible cunty.
I agree Solobear... by Alex Trevelyan	May 10th, 2008 06:50:42 PM
Mr. Warrior is an angry man. Maybe has no "lady friend" and is having too much "Sam time"(transformers joke).
Shia... by solobear	May 10th, 2008 06:51:28 PM
I've been reading Poetic Warrior's intense criticism of Shia LeBeouf. But I seem to be missing somethin. Poetic Warrior, you are a drama critic for...?
WOW Alex Trevelyan... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 06:51:32 PM
Next time try to say something worth replying too you fucking cockroach. You just answered your own question as to why there is so much hate you fucking douche bag moron.

You know so little, my mentally challenged friend. I'm actually married. My parent's live over a thousand miles from me, and I do not own a Nintendo, nor a video game system of any kind. I'm sorry to wreck your sick sexual fantasies, young man, but I am unfortunately unable to perform extreme contorionist movements which would allow me to stick my head up my ass. I don't like Mountain Dew, I prefer Diet Lime Coke, personally. And as far as wasting my time, any time I can insult some worthless piece of worm-ridden shit like you is no waste of time at all. It's all strictly for fun, fuckwad. When your daddy and mommy get done changing your diaper. let them know that widdle baby is gwumpy and needs to go beddy-bye before the big talkback monsters eat him alive.

I know I said this before... by Stevie Grant	May 10th, 2008 07:40:57 PM
but I'm really hoping all the negative feedback about this movie is because the Indy-familiar viewers are watching this as an adult and not as a kid. Any Indiana Jones movie would be awesome if you were 12, (and most everyone here first saw them as a kid). Now re-watch any Indy film as an adult and see how they hold up. I'm really hoping the negative feedback is due to first seeing this film as all grown-up, hence not getting the same kick as a child or young teenager would. I hope I "like it a lot" like Derek.

Sorry but the movie was getting lukewarm to bad reviews so far, Paramount decided to send in an agent to get people to see the film. Still, I'm gonna wait for Talkback reaction, in otherwords, I'm gonna wait for peer reviews from people who I have flame wars with before I see the film.

Do you like films? by Mr-J	May 10th, 2008 08:11:34 PM
I have enjoyed films, cinema, the moving image since my parents took me to see Disney films back in the early 70's. I came across this site shortly after joining the internet sometime around Titanic. I find it terribly sad that any real critic or geniune dialogue about film on this site now resides with people who truly have lost site of what film is about. I saw 'Raiders' at the cinema. I was 12 years old. It made a similar impact to Star Wars on my young eyes. So many years later I look forward to number 4. I don't expect, wish or desire anything other than a couple of hours of entertainment. It's not going to change my life. I would truly like to meet the guy who said " George lucas raped my childhood", that sentence sums up all the problems with the present climate of fan obsession. George made my childhood and when Phantom came out I was no longer a kid so I didn't get it the same way kids did. I teach so I have some understanding of current trends and guess what? Kids loved Jar Jar. 30 years ago my father thought Star Wars was complete nonsense, I didn't. What I truly don't understand is the constant bile that some people need to leave on this site. I simply don't believe you truly like films. It's now got to the point that (and this is my first post) I can no longer look at talkbacks. Personally I'd moderate this site and pure nonsense would go in the bin. Sure if you don't like something then tell someone but leave your poor language and diatribe at home. Lucas and Spielberg owe you nothing. You have a choice about film. You don't like something don't go to see it.

Bravo, my friend. I feel exactly the same way. This place could use A LOT more talkbackers like yourself. It's okay to have some fun-check out the Mutt posts-but insulting others to the point of anger and trash talking movies that haven't even been released yet is a travesty to true film fans. Let these hate omngers spend their coinage elsewhere. I'll rest easier knowing that they and their ilk will not be attending the films I will be enjoying this summer, and for many summers to come.

Indy Returns by kenichi tanaka	May 10th, 2008 08:44:55 PM
I think Spielberg said it best ... He's making this movie for the fans. The problem is that everyone is expecting Indy 4 to be one of the best films of all time and placing those kind of expectations is unfair for this movie. I think the important thing to remember is that this movie shouldn't be judged by how much better than the previous entries it's going to be but to judge the movie as another journey with our favourite hero. The important thing to remember is that as long as the dialogue, the story, is decent enough, that fans get another change to join Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, before he gets too much older and that we'll get the chance to get a long-time coming second trilogy, before Harrison Ford retires from the business. I'm just going to be happy to join Indy for another adventure and hope that we get two more sequels to round off the series.
Our Man Flint by DangerMan	May 10th, 2008 09:35:26 PM

I want every film I see to be good by Dark Knight Lite	May 10th, 2008 09:57:26 PM
I cannot fathom why people would actively root for a certain film to be bad. TDK is obviously my most anticipated film of 2008, but that doesn't mean I want Indy to fail. On the contrary, I want all of 2008's genre releases to be good. What would happen to some of you if you actually enjoyed something for once? If that is out of the question, perhaps you should take your anger somewhere it can be channeled appropriately. Say Iraq, for instance. Dark Knight Out.
Derek Flint by malpaso	May 10th, 2008 10:09:18 PM

Why are you fuckers believing all of this shit in the first place? I don't know about you but I don't allow reviews from assholes who review shit here to influence whether I see a movie or not. Personally, I think AICN Reviewers are full of shit trying to spend their fucking time to convince everyone else not to see the movie because it doesn't meet up with their expectations of what a good movie should be. I can you that the only influence AICN reviews have on me is their ability to a story of fiction. It makes for a good laugh.

solobear, you old fuck... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 11:06:08 PM
do you mean to tell me that being on the talkbacks trying to piece together that "wicked" insult you just tossed out there is better than fucking that diseased whore you call a wife???? I don't know exactly how fucking fat that dorito eating bitch is but her ass must look like a bowl of oatmeal when you pull off those specially made panties when you go to fuck that bitch. Tell me, when you take her for a walk do people often tell you after seeing that jiggly ass that it looks like two pigs fighting in a gunny sack? Are you often overwhelmed with wanting to take a spoon to the twats ass with your morning cup of coffee or are you a closet homo that's tired of being married to the pig you used to go shopping with? I know being old your fucking bunions are probably killing you but being an incredible twat on the AICN talkbacks is probably the last thing your rickety ass needs to be doing. In closing, fuck you very much for reading.
kenichi tanaka you and Spielberg can both... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 11:08:55 PM

You're so goddamn stupid that you actually think you need to be 12 to enjoy an IJ movie?? I mean goddamn you're a fucking cocksucking ass wart for even starting that kind of apologist bullshit. You're truly a colossal fucking cunty. By the way when solobear arrives for the ass eating train tell him I said 'sup for me would you big guy?

If there are to be more of these... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 11:39:21 PM
I hope to holy hell that 1. this ridiculous Mutt character is killed off or pulls a disappearing act ala Jar Jar Binks 2. George Lucas is kept clear the hell away from anything even resembling an IJ script 3. Spielberg goes back and watches Raiders so he can understand what the fuck he's trying to do.
There is no reason at all for this to suck... by poeticwarriorII	May 10th, 2008 11:59:27 PM
so when you've seen so much bullshit that gives you pause you would have to have no soul, or at least a very dumb one, not to be concerned that IJ has gone the way of Star Wars. Irrelevant bullshit. You would have to be one incompetent fuck to mess this movie up but it looks like it has been done.

The first reviewer a couple days ago sounded like a young punk, doped up on today's quick cut editing style and Matrix sequel CG effects, completely out of his element and having no clue what a serial is ("isn't that what I had for breakfast this morning?") much less the obvious inspiration they had on these films. It also, I might add, seemed as though he were out to derail the film's success. The second seemed more honest and straightforward than the first, but still not quite "getting it". This review is the first I've read that makes the movie sound pretty much as I've expected it to be all along. This guy is objective (a trait sadly lacking in these here parts) and above all he gets it. I can't wait to see it.
Mr. J. too true, too true. by rbatty024	May 11th, 2008 01:02:01 AM
I think too many people return to their childhood favorites looking to revisit the past. Unfortunately that time and place can never be re-earthed. Childhood was fun but it's over. I'll go into an Indiana Jones film looking for a well crafted film that entertains. I will not go in looking for a transcendent life changing experience. These days that kind of art is relegated to the James Joyces and Gertrude Steins of the world, not the, admittedly, well done Spielberg entertainments. This doesn't mean I won't be wary of the craftsmanship of the art, but I won't be looking for a lifechanging experience.
Jones: "I'm gonna blow up the Ark, Rene!" by Rocco Curioso	May 11th, 2008 01:05:08 AM
Lucas: "I'm gonna blow up the franchise, fanboys!" I watched parts of all three of the other IJ movies today (thanks, USA Channel), having not seen any of them in quite some time. Very impressive. "Raiders" is arguably the greatest action-adventure movie of all time, and the other two certainly weren't lacking for humor, excitement, or entertainment value. Why does Lucas go out of his way to poop on not one but TWO great trilogies by cashing in on their clout nearly two decades later with pale imitations? Greedy bastard. I refuse to see this movie, and line that potzer's pockets with any more green. Well, if the SW OT (non-Special Edition) hits Blu-Ray one fine day..... mebbe then.

If all you expect is a shiny object to "entertain" you for a few minutes go watch speed racer and quit pissing on the rest of us while telling us it's raining because you're full of fucking shit and stupid talking about transcendent life changing experiences you unbelievable emasculated twats.
gotham_night by Rocco Curioso	May 11th, 2008 02:32:46 AM
Lucas was responsible for deep-sixing Frank Darabont's script, which I'm guessing was a whole lot better than what will be unveiled on May 22nd. This is the same Lucas who insisted on scripting all three of the SW Prequels. His powers of judgement in that department are suspect at best. A bad script will send this new Indy movie right off the rails, and frankly, that's probably what you'll get. BTW, don't add any salt to your popcorn when your dumbass is planted in the theatre on May 22nd, gotham_night. Your tears of disappointment will take care of that quite sufficently.
Ipod trailer has even more footage!!! by pokadoo	May 11th, 2008 04:46:05 AM

You're a true warrior-poet, Poeticwarrior... by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 06:10:44 AM
I haven't laughed so much in ages as at your put-downs of Solobear & Co. Your posts have more wit and imagination than Lucas has put into Indy 4, that's for sure. Keep 'em coming... Looks like Solobear's wife sat her fat ass down on him to keep him away from the keyboard.
Let's have more reviews! by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 06:17:17 AM
Bring 'em on! The world has wised-up to Lucas' and Spielberg's latter-day mediocrity. I love the fact that even this one 'positive' review is more like a begging letter asking us not to be too critical of this wheezy old turd of a movie. After the prequels horseshit, people are now fed up with the trash Lucas is feeding us. I think that KOTCS ("Crystal Skull"? WTF?) will probably fail financially AS WELL AS critically. That's ANOTHER prediction from Merriman Lyon. You heard it here first.
Greenhouse effect by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 06:49:40 AM
Yes, this review is clearly a plant. You'd have to be a blind, blinkered, Lucas-loving imbecile not to see that. Luckily, there are none of those around. Oh.
seriously...why so serious? by nefarius1	May 11th, 2008 07:31:21 AM
I really don't understand what people are expecting. I know that I was never expecting a modern update on the franchise with 'Bourne' shaky cameras. I'm not expecting a revamp/reboot or realistic take like the current Batman films. I'm not expecting a deconstruction of our hero like Unforgiven. Hell, I'm hoping to feel the nostalgia, but I'm not expecting Speilberg/Lucas to turn back time to when I was a kid. What I'm looking forward to is another adventure with Indy in the style of last three. These were never high art films with political/social commentary. These were 80's summer blockbusters, some of the first. They're supposed to be fun and entertaining. Besides, if they did any of those things I mentioned and reinvented/updated or deconstructed it people would probably complain anyways. Some people around here are far too invested in these films. I mean to say your childhood was raped is ridiculous. Some people need to get past childhood and fucking grow up.
AICN got talent by nefarius1	May 11th, 2008 07:43:13 AM
Here's an idea kids. Maybe AICN should have a contest and everyone here including the fine people who run this site can submit a spec script or plot summary of what they would have done if they were making another Indy film. Or perhaps a Star Wars film or even maybe something original. Then we can post them and every one can have a shot critiquing our fellow talkbackers work. There might be some really talented people on here. Then again I've read enough fan fiction in my time that it might be good for a laugh. It is so much easier to shit on something then it is to create after all. Alot of people can take an exsisting work and say "well, I would have done this". Can anyone come up with something awe inspiring original? How about it?
Merriman, one thing sadder than - by Laserbrain	May 11th, 2008 07:48:35 AM
- a blind, blinkered Lucas-loving imbecile is the twerp who's spent the last ten years of his life trying to convince said imbeciles of the fact. If this movie sucks I'll certainly be disappointed but I sure as shit won't be here in 2018 still foaming at the mouth about it the way you inevitably will.
Well, it's easy to criticise, Laserbrain... by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 08:10:59 AM
....but what have YOU done in the last ten years to protect the movie-going public from having their childhoods raped and their wallets fleeced by frauds like Lucas? I have learned to THINK FOR MYSELF. I have FREED MY MIND from the blind, facts-ignoring hope and hero-worship direced at lucas and his dead franchises. AND I have pointed out that the emperor has no clothes so that others can free themselves too. I ask again: what have YOU done - except fall into line and become a Lucas apologist? When you have evolved into an independently thinking organism that is able to judge things independently of marketing campaigns, hype and nostalgia - THEN you will have a right to criticise me. But we both know that's never going to happen. So back to the flock with you. You'll need to get sheared if you're going to survive this hot weather.

I love how people like Roccio review films by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 11th, 2008 08:36:12 AM
before seeing them. Asshole, it's Spielberg, Lucas, Ford and Williams. This is what geeks should dream of. If you hate Lucas for the prequels, yes you are an asshole. They were made for kids. Always have been, always will be. The fact is parts 4,5 & 6 had better chemistry with the actors. Parts 1,2& 3 had the better plots. Lucas made his movies, not yours. Any cunt who hates on Indy needs his geek status revoked!

Hey, Dirtyjokes, PLOT DOES MATTER by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 08:48:20 AM
Remember that little slogan from Lucasfilm in 1999. This was before the awfulness of TPM was unleashed on the world. They were so full of themselves that they thought they were making fun of the Godzilla movie - that, bad as it was, was still leagues better than TPM. The prequels had better plots????? Dirtyjokes, I will give you a million dollars if you will have a sticker made with EXACTLY THOSE WORDS, stick it on your forehead, and wear it for the rest of your life. But back here on Planet Earth, teams of archeologists are still trying to unearth even the smallest fragment of a plot in the Star Wars prequels.

I'D BE A HELL OF A LOT MORE EXCITED by BringingSexyBack	May 11th, 2008 09:00:02 AM
if not for Shia. Ryan Reynolds as the son would've been great, or a return of Short Round and Sallah and maybe a love triangle between Indy, Marion and Willie. If you're gonna do nostalgia right and end Indy with a bang, that's how it's done. Not a lesser sequel to Crusade.
I WOULD LOVE FOR SPIELBERG AND FORD by BringingSexyBack	May 11th, 2008 09:02:36 AM
to do a non-Indy movie together. Maybe a present-day political thriller in the vein of Munich.
poeticwarriorII, they ARE making it for the fans.... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 11th, 2008 09:03:59 AM
And, clearly, you are not one. When Indy 4 got greenlit, EVERYONE on these boards was complaining about how if Karen Allen wasn't in it, they'd boycott the film. About how if Marion, Indy's best gal, wasn't in the film, it'd be a complete stinkbomb. So, what'd they do? Ah, gee, nothing -- just cast KAREN ALLEN. I thought everyone here would be pumped about that, because that was CLEARLY done for the fans -- but they weren't. You, and many others, are still complaining about this film. I watched Raiders and Temple of Doom on USA last night, and the action is INCREDIBLY corny, Ford runs like an old man at age 38, the action looks identical to the upcoming film, and the effects looked MISERABLE. That foregoing notwithstanding -- they were still a blast to watch. Indy movies are indy movies. This one looks no different. You just have an incredibly short memory. Most people here do. It's sick.
REWATCHED RAIDERS AND TEMPLE TOO by BringingSexyBack	May 11th, 2008 09:07:05 AM
Temple the far better movie. Raiders had better cinematography. Marion returning is great, just spoiled by Mutt.
ANd about Shia!.....................!!!!!! by jarjarsjockstrap	May 11th, 2008 09:11:05 AM
It's ABUNDANTLY clear why they cast him -- for the kiddies. Look, this is the dude from even stevens, the dude from holes, the dude from transformers. All of the nickelodeon-watching kiddies out there LOVE this guy. Hate him as you may, THEY love him. This move WAS done to get kids to see the movie, and it's going to work. Everyone else knows who indy is, and they're all pumped about it. I havent talked to ONE non-geek who isn't completely jazzed about this film. Indiana Jones is universally loved by almost every film goer on the planet -- seriously. He has no demographic. He appeals to men, women, the young, the old, etc, etc, etc. Rare is a character or a film franchise that has that kind of power. This movie is going to be both ripped apart and praised by critics, and the heavy majority of the film-going public is going to eat it up like candy-coated candy. Like I said before, the short memories of people on this site KILL me. And for the record, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS (can't wait for the 12432342342342342 site reviews on that one) has nothing on Harold and Kumar. Why, you ask? N.P.H.

Jesus Christ, Merri, you're gone, gone, gone. by Laserbrain	May 11th, 2008 09:21:34 AM
I don't belong to any "flock", Merriman. I'm nowhere near a "Lucas apologist" (By Christ I'm sick of the moronic fanboyish hyperbole of that term). I told you directly in one of the previous talkbacks that I thought the prequels "blew goats"; surely you can put this insane fantasy of yours that I actually admire George Lucas to bed by now? I just now explained to you that if this film sucks (and I'm adult enough to concede the possibility; I have from the get-go) I will be disappointed. That disappointment will linger about one day. Then? I will get on with my life. I will probably pop by to register my pique with all of you and to be thoroughly entertained in watching you thrill to the fanboys' lamentations while doing a little jiggy-jig in front of your computer, cackling girlishly in surrogate sexual pleasure, secure in your "superiority" over the Lucas-o-logists. (I'm proud to be called the first, you honour me, Great Sage) What a grand achievement that will be! What a Victory! You know, I think you should take this valiant crusade of yours to the streets, Merri. Print up some flyers, scribble your lunatic, irrelevant manifesto about the evils of Lucasfilm onto a moldy sandwich board and hit the multiplexes on May 22. There's plenty more endangered childhood hymens out there in the urban centres for you to save. So get to it, Mighty Saviour! I double fucking dare you. Let's see how far your deranged sermonizing gets you with the man on the street.
The propeller thing... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 11th, 2008 09:21:51 AM
Was AWFUL editing. So, yes, even the the holiness that is raiders had continuity errors. It's just a frigign' popcorn film, and that's why i dont get the hate around here. i DID get the star wars hate, because star wars is a religion to some, and they had an actual plot they had to fill. this film is a sequel that was done for pure fun.
Thanks Scotsman by AntoniusBloc	May 11th, 2008 09:43:22 AM
Probably the most honest and accurate review we'll see on this site about the film, and most entertaining, lol
Okay, Laserbrain.... by Merriman Lyon	May 11th, 2008 10:37:28 AM
You and I have no quarrel then. Perhaps I will take the campaign to the streets. Good idea. I'll still come here though, to smash through the apologists' delusions. Already doing my jiggy dance, Laserbrain - from the moment the reviews started posting. Is my celebration a little premature? Perhaps. But I'm so confident that I was right - and so encouraged by these initial reports - that I have allowed myself to declare victory a week-or-so earlier than planned. But you can't really blame me, can you? After all, this is the culmination of my campaign for the last six months - against the deafening bleating of the die-hard Lucassheep - who have been declaring that this movie" will rock!" from the second it was announced. But when all the other reviews start pouring in next week, by God will I be shouting 'I TOLD YOU SO!' from the rooftops! So be sure to join me here on AICN for my full-blown victory extrazaganza. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Good review! and pretty spoiler free too. by FILMFUNK	May 11th, 2008 11:05:48 AM
I can't say I agree with you about Raiders not engaging the emotions especially when compared to Superman 2 which is Goofy SHit! But I just watched Lost Ark again about an hour ago and it's bloody perfect and highly emotionally engaging, well written, performed, directed and just about the best action adventure film ever (star wars pips it if SCi-Fi's your bag) Anyway I'm glad to read things like - ''The crystal skulls ET origins are dealt with from an archeological standpoint so, it’s consistent with the previously established Indy mysticism'' ''I viewed it as a second trilogy all rolled into one, they went for broke with nonstop set pieces that remind us Steven Spielberg can easily best any current action director'' ''I’ll look forward to seeing it again with friends and having a good time. Sometimes, that’s what a good movie is for'' Can't wait!

I think I speak for everyone here who visit AICN once in a while to see what's going on when I say - You need to get a FUCKING life. I just don't understand your glee at saying "I told you so" about a movie "sucking" that you haven't even seen. Even if the movie does "suck" it doesn't make you any less of an idiot. The "I said it sucked first" rationalle that you have regarding Indiana Jones just means that you were the first person to be an annoying pimple of the ass of fandom. So enjoy it while you can. Some of us enjoy these movies for what they are - MOVIES. BTW I would love to know what your favorite movie is of the last 10 years. And don't go safe with Iron Man, or The Matrix... You know you have some favorites that are all yours. Let us in on what makes Merriman Lyon tick. Obviously you don't enjoy Indiana Jones, in fact you seem to have it out for the man in the hat. Or better yet, inform us of the amazing films that you have been involved in creating... We'd all love to hear about those.

RAIDERS cannot be topped. by Mr. Nice Gaius	May 11th, 2008 11:48:28 AM
I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's the best out of the three. The tone, the look, and the fact that it contains more iconic moments then the other two combined make it one of the most perfect movies of all time. For me, TOD is what took the character into pulp territory. (RAIDERS never had that feel.) And while there are some great set pieces and laugh-out-loud moments (the guy getting knocked out by the sledge-hammer is a personal fave), it's tarnished by a silly badguy, the ever annoying Willie, decidedly rougher violence, and some garish lighting, editing and special effects. I think it's the most uneven of the trilogy and the one responsible for the seeming "turnaround" brought by THE LAST CRUSADE. And with all this early, bad pre-pub for CRYSTAL SKULL, I really don't want to have to wish that CRUSADE's final image would have been Indy's last.

Im tired of people telling me Im not a kid anymore by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 12:00:41 PM
A good movie is a good movie, and it isn't about being a kid or a nostalgia thing. How come we were all adults and enjoyed LOTR's trilogy? How come people enjoyed The Matrix? The same people that loved Star Wars and Indy loved those movies cause they were good. I know a bad or average movie when I see one. I saw Superman IV in the mid 80's and it sucked then and sucks now, and being a kid and an adult now has not changed my opinion for 20 years. I knew in the late 80's that Raiders was the best of the Indy Trilogy, I knew that Star Wars & Empire were the best, and I knew that the PT was not that great, and was living off the Star Wars name. I am not going to give my opinion on Indy IV til I see it, but please stop telling people they can't judge a movie cause were not kids anymore. There was a reason Star Wars & Raiders were loved by kids in '77 and '81 and still loved now by the 30 somethings: THEY ARE GREAT MOVIES FOR THEIR GENRE!!!!
You are absolutely correct, Mr. Nice Gaius by Rando Calrisian	May 11th, 2008 12:02:16 PM
Raiders can never be topped because it was original. The sequels have poked a lot of fun at the characters, and while they are still fun movies, they don't take themselves as seriously - but lets face it even Raiders did not take itself too seriously. When Spielberg made Raiders, he was, in my opinion, at the absolute top of his game as an original film maker. To that point, he hadn't made any sequels, or been a part of any sequels. That said, I still love the Indy sequels because of the fun they have with the character. They still deliver fun set pieces, and excitement. The new one looks to be more of the same... and I mean that in a good way.

romanocc by Rando Calrisian	May 11th, 2008 12:20:16 PM
You are right - a good movie is a good movie. However, there were a lot of people older than we were when Star Wars came out that just didn't get it - didn't see what the big deal was - to them it was just a movie. There is an ability to accept things in movies when you aren't quite as jaded as we become as adults. If we had been our age now when Star Wars first came out - who knows what we would have thought of them. Back when I saw Star Wars and Raiders in the theater, I didn't know about film-making techniques, didn't know about the things I sometimes think about when watching movies today. Because of these films, I studied the art of film, and now have different views as to what makes a great film. They seem fewer and farther between now-a-days, don't you think? But your comparison to LOTR and The Matrix is good, because those were good films that took us beyond the ordinary. I hate the idea that getting older has changed my views abut movies, but it obviously has a bit. Once in a while something comes along and blows your mind - usually something that was slipped under the radar. I'm totally looking forward to Indy, but I accept that I know too much about it already for it to take me by surprise. AICN is great to talk to other fans about film, but it also kind of ruins some of the excitement of going into a film blindly. A tradeoff, I guess.
I love the Lucas hatred, it makes people seem really shallow... by Coughlins Laws	May 11th, 2008 12:34:02 PM
Calling Star Wars a "dead" franchise is hilarious. The last one made over $400 million domestically. If everyone hate the first 2 as much as you say they did, why did they make the last one a top 10 grosser of all time? People have to remember that their personal opinions are not "facts". Because you were disappointed in a movie or hated a movie, doesn't mean everyone did. A lot of people here hated Titanic. But you know what, you're in the vast minority. There's no way a movie could make that kind of money without repeat business of people who loved it. So why is you opinion more valubale than anyone else's, especially when millions more disagree with you than agree with you. More people liked the prequels, LOVED the prequels, than you small-minded, perfectionist, losers. It's fine you didn't like them. I get it. But to go on and on about and bring your irrational hatred for a man who has made movies that millions of people enjoyed makes you just sound like bags of douche.
Also, why do people not like Shia? I've never seen him by Coughlins Laws	May 11th, 2008 12:37:05 PM

Rando Calrisian by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 12:45:14 PM
I understand what your saying about older people not getting alot of movies we grew up with, but I have to disagree with you about Star Wars in 1977, EVERY age group loved that movie. Heck, my mom and my older brothers loved it and they HATE Scifi/Fantasy movies, but for some reason Star Wars, and its good vs evil story really touched a nerve. Now as for getting older, are we more cynical in our older age about sequels/prequels then we would be when we were kids? Yes, alot cause of the interent, alot cause of DVD's, and alot cause we are not naive anymore, as times have just changed. But after I got a DVD, I pretty much bought all the movies I loved as a kid, and I realized the originals of all these series really hold up: Back to the Future, Raiders, Superman:The Movie, and Star Wars, and the rare exception was Empire. So, in a sense you're right that as a kid, I probably didn't go in with predosposed notions that these sequels would be inferior, but I look back, I felt that way back then, but I guess we didn't have them on DVD/Video sitting on a shelf next to each other and compare. I just watched them on HBO a zillion times, and kinda took them for what they were worth, and realized Return of the Jedi just wasn't as great as Star Wars.
Rando Calrisian (part 2) by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 12:50:21 PM
As for what is a great film, Star Wars/Indy/Superman/BTTF are all from a genre where they are not going to be considered 'artsy' in a sense of that great filmaking, but that doesn't mean their bad movies, or not great movies, they are entertaining in a different style. Is Schindlers List a better movie then Star Wars? Yes and No, it has better acting, a more deeper story that resonates, but Star Wars is not trying to be that type of drama, so you can't compare the two. Is Schindlers List a great movie, most definitely! If I had a choice on a Sunday afternoon, would what I watch: Star Wars in a second, cause it is a fun AND a well crafted movie with a touch of drama, comedy, and mythology. Movies like Independence Day are the movies that are pure crap and all eye candy, and those are the problem with this genre, not Star Wars.
Romanocc, I agree completely that a film can cross... by rbatty024	May 11th, 2008 12:57:52 PM
generational boundaries. I think the "you're not a kid anymore" criticism is aimed at people who want the same experience watching these films that they had when they were seven years old. They're chasing the dragon. Looking for that first hit. As the get older and it never arrives they become jaded and cynical. To them everything sucks because it does not pass the nostalgia test. I agree that a surprising number of my favorites from my childhood hold up, but I enjoy them differently today. I can recognize the craftsmanship and talent involved in these films. However, I no longer go into them looking for the same experience I had when I was younger. When I go see Indy 4 I'll be looking at how well the film entertains and the talent of the filmmakers. I will not go in looking for the same experience as watching Raiders for the first time as a child. If it's a good movie then that's great, and if it sucks then too bad. I always have the original. What I'm not going to do is make a claim it absolutely sucks long before I've see the film.
I love Spielberg movies but for some reason, by Orbots Commander	May 11th, 2008 01:12:21 PM

Could be.
Rando Calrisian by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 01:21:32 PM
See I don't think we changed, I think movies have changed, unfortunately alot for the worst. Every time period of movies has one great genre: The 40's had the romatic movies like Casablanca, African Queen, the 50's/early 60's had epics like Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, the early 70's had gritty movies like Serpice, French Connection, Dirty Harry, and the late 70's/early 80's had Fantasy without CGI like StarWars, Raiders, and Superman, and post Jurassic Park it is the age of CGI and those movies just aren't made for our generation like Raiders wasn't made for the older generation that loved Casablanca. I still contend that Star Wars/Raiders/Bladerunner/BTTF/ Aliens/Wraith of Khan is the best time period of those types of movies where the directors had to have good characters and a good story, cause they didn't have CGI to fall back on. Of course there are still great movies from this genre as I hope Dark Knight could be one of them, but again, there are more CGI-fest movies that are a series of quick edits, stupid humor, and one dimensional characters, and that is what this generation of kids are going to stand by when they are our age.
On what level? by kolchak	May 11th, 2008 01:24:40 PM
I think that people who hate Hook just don't have an affinity for the story. They don't like the idea. It's certainly not bad on the level of cinematography. It's not poorly written. It had a great score. It gave a fresh spin to a familiar story. The performances weren't particularly bad.
Also, Romanocc, what you just wrote reminded me... by rbatty024	May 11th, 2008 01:25:23 PM
of a statement made by the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss. He was talking about old myths compared to modern art and compared them to stone age and bronze age tools. He said that both tools have the same amount of complexity but are merely made out of different material. Therefore, you should judge the complexity of their craft, instead of what they're made out of. I think this applies to entertainments like Star Wars and dramas like Schindler's List. They're just made out of different material, but the craftsmanship can be just as complex in either.
Rando Calrisian by codymr	May 11th, 2008 01:31:10 PM
I'm not sure I agree that Spielberg was "...at the absolute top of his game" when he made ROTLA... Although Raiders is one of my top 5 films of all time and I would have to say that the years from JAWS to IJATTOD was the golden era of Spielberg... the film he made before Raiders, 1942, was a stinker - even Spielberg admits it. It was a real risk for Lucas to hire him for Raiders after the financial and critical mess 1942 was. Many studio execs thought his directing career was done. Raiders was a "comeback" after a career ending stumble.
OK... by codymr	May 11th, 2008 01:35:13 PM

have certainly been "breaking in" Shia in more than one way during this movie. I'll agree with you that his involvement here smells like an anchovies cunt. They've got plans for the Jew Fro, and those plans are going to be bullshit. And while you can feel free to felate Lucas if you wish, his recent tinkerings have ruined everything he worked so hard to establish. He's negated himself and his work by the abominations he's created over the last 15 years. But yeah, thank god for Lucas.
I'll tell you what Coughlins Laws... by poeticwarriorII	May 11th, 2008 02:06:03 PM
You're full of shit when you say more people like the prequels than hated the prequels. You must live life up your ass to spout shit like that fuck nut. If those movies didn't have Star Wars attached to them Lucas never would've had the money to do the other two. If TPM had been done first, Star Wars wouldn't even be a blip on the radar because that goddamn movie was fucking rancid sloppy bullshit that needed a shitload of excuses to support it.

Coughlin Laws, I have to disagree by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 02:22:28 PM
I think the internet brings out the real hate and love of the Prequels that I don't see in everyday people I talk to. Most people I know don't hate them, nor love em, they have just kinda moved on, and if they were diehard SW fans, they either tried to like them, or thought they were OK. Most people I know think SW & ESB are the best of the bunch, then kinda like ROTJ cause it still has all the characters, probably think ROTS is the best of the PT, only because it has 60% of the backstory(quoted from Lucas) and TPM & AOTC have their moments, but are too cluttered with Jar Jar, Jake Lloyd and that awful romance, and really don't hold replay value. My friends kids don't hate the Prequels, but they dont hate anything at that age! They look at them as 6 movies, but I know for a fact they enjoy the OT more, and the only PT movie they get juiced about is ROTS. SW-fandom is the only one that dissected and second guessed, as most people agree that Godfather III is the worst of the trilogy, Superman III & IV suck, why do people have to defend the PT by saying, "The OT had shitty dialogue and bad acting, etc. If it had that, why would have anyone loved em?

Everything's a fucking offense to these cunts but they all sit around waiting on someone else to do something for them. But I am glad you can get a chuckle at their expense, somebody needs to.

romanocc & codymr by Rando Calrisian	May 11th, 2008 02:47:21 PM
You both make great points. And I agree that all of the films you mentioned still hold up, and I love all of them too. Maybe the problem lies more with the amount of product that has been coming out since the boom in the 80's. A lot less originality, it seems. Or at least you have to sort through a large amount of un-original bad content to get to the good stuff. If that makes any sense, I don't know. As for 1941 - I actually enjoy that movie for the giant mess it is. There are some pure classic scenes in that movie. Then there is all the other stuff. Maybe not "top of his game," But Jaws, CE3K, Raiders, ET - That is the Wholy Quadfecta - within 6 years, Spielberg created 4 of the greatest theater experience movies in cinema history. But that was when going to the theater meant something more. I'm just as guilty - I love my home theater, and I have every Spielberg and Lucas film in the library along with classics from every era of film. I'm a film fan to the bone becasue of Spielberg and Lucas's work, and I probably do give them more of a benifit of the doubt - even through the prequels. I gotta admit, though Iron Man was a great start to the summer. Even with all the glowing reviews here, I still managed to love it. Saw it twice, and would see it again if it werent for there being a new movie out every freakin' week. Remember when Raiders played for MONTHS. Star Wars actually played for over a full year at the theater that had it where I lived. A full year. Now you get a week. Maybe two. OK, gotta go for a while. Good FILM discussion, BTW. Thanks for not calling my Mama a Ho or something... it is Mother's Day and all.

1941 had some funny fucking moments in it despite its flaws. My favorite is when Wild Bill falls trying to get into his Warhawk. Now that was freakin' funny. And while Spielberg and Lucas have done some great things they have done some equally bad if not worse mistakes. Especially with their recent work. It's just gotten so sloppy and I can guarantee you that they surround themselves with people that tell them yes and brown-nose them.

Dude, enough. You seem to want this to fail, and I don't get it. yes, I get it that you don't like shia. OH, WELL. The majority of the movie-going public adores him. that's right, hombre -- ADORES him. The nerds on here hate him, but most people genuinely, truly like him. Sorry. Also, stop comparing this to TPM. It's NOT a Star Wars film, first of all. Second, it's being directed by arguably the greatest commercial director -- if not, the greatest director -- of all time. It's in good hands. Thirdly, tres, tre, this is an INDY film. I watched the triology on USA this weekend, and they are incredibly corny, silly, off-the-wall flicks. Yes, even raiders. The bad guys DO pause with confused looks before indy hits 'em with his grandpa punch, and indy runs like he has to take a crap. Dude, these films are pure fun -- nothing more. Raiders was simply groundbreaking, so it gets a lot more love than the rest. In conclusion, the spaghetti monster makes a cameo.

Just a word of warning to everyone on here. Don't waste your valuable time trying to talk/argue with the so-called Poetic Warrior. He either can't or doesn't want to try to hold a decent, halfway intelligent conversation about film, or anything else, for that matter. His sole purpose in being here is to incite bad feelings by trying to insult not only films but the people who make them and those who enjoy them. He has no intelligence whatsoever. And the worst part of it all is that if you get caught up in arguing with this fool, it's not hard to get one up on him, but all that does is fuel his particular form of diseased communication skill. If you don't agree with him, then you are his enemy, and he wills top at nothing to attempt to belittle and/or insult you, your family and the things you enjoy. If this sick freak turns up here again, ignore him. Don't give him the satisfaction of falling into his septic trap. He's just not worth it. INDIANA JONES LIVES!!!

I mean if you're going to make shit up on the spot there's really no point in talking to you, but then again having a brain pan full of ass chili will sometimes lead to that. This dork is a loathsome annoying prick that has virtually no talent save for being a fellow Jew to Spielberg and having an afro the size of Solobears wife's ass. He plays the same fucking thing in every movie he's in. He's a one note POS that you alone seem to ADORE. So, I'll leave you to ADORE him by your lonesome with nothing but your moms fur coat and jergens. You then say that Indy is no TPM. Right, but if that is your sole claim that this can't be just as fucked up and bad then hombre, your argument is fucked. GL has been fondling and petting this franchise just as long as he has SW and considering both of these guys, and yes that includes your beloved greatest commercial director of all time, have lost what little mind they had left I think you're giving this franchise a little too much credit of being dumb ass proof.

You're so full of poor me I can only imagine the disdain your wife feels for you every time you slither into bed and beg for some ass while clutching at her with that casper milquetoast clammy paw. You point fingers at me like you're some bastion of talkback sainthood when I've got news for you shit head, I believe you used the term "word ridden shit" toward me. That's fair enough, go ahead, I'm more than capable of taking up for myself and replying to you in kind. But then when I do your vagina starts hurting and you come in here whining and pissing and moaning like the cunty you are. I can only hope your wife doesn't allow you to pass on the DNA you've been cursed with because the world doesn't need more people devoid of the ability to take care of themselves. We don't need more "men" who have to have their ass wiped by someone else and their twats douched so they don't get cranky and cry like a little bitch. If you can't take it you "divorce waiting to happen" then shut that cum catcher you try to call a mouth and continue crying yourself to sleep.

The general public DOES adore Shia. I'm sorry, but it's true. Suburbia, Holes, Transformers, etc. were all hits, and that's the bottom line. Look, I think Julia Roberts is god awful, but the general public doesn't seem to feel the same way. Alls I'm sayin' is that the people who frequent this site are hardcore film geeks comprising .0001% of the film-going public. It's cool that you don't dig shia, but the reason he was cast in this IJ film was his marketability to kid folk and the general public. He's riding a pretty high wave right now -- I'm sorry.
Rando Calrisian by romanocc	May 11th, 2008 06:52:26 PM
Randy, nice to have a back and forth argument on the net without the name calling and the insults. I do agree that the theater experience has truly changed. The last film I actually had to wait a couple of days to see because we couldn't get tickets was Batman '89, the luster of waiting is gone, as most movies have a huge opening weekend, an OK second week, and then the next blockbuster is the hit of the week. As much as I love DVD and my home theater system, the fun of waiting for a movie to come on TV is over, and that was really cool growing up. Man, I waited 6 years for Star Wars to come to HBO in 1983, and THEN you would watch them everyday after school. There was something special when you would tune into HBO and you would see see the Lucasfilm logo and then hear the 20th Century Fox Music, now the movie is out on DVD in 4-5 months, and the anticipation is gone. Times have changed, and that's just the way it is I guess.

ShogunMaster is a bigger idiot than George W. Bush by Mako	May 11th, 2008 07:18:42 PM
QUOTE FROM NY TIMES: "The man who posted as ShogunMaster, reached via the Web site, said he is a theater executive who saw the film at an exhibitors’ screening this week. He spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid reprisal from the studio. Paramount had shown the film to a handful of theater company executives at its Los Angeles lot and elsewhere." What a moron!! I mean this guy is promoting negative feedback over a movie that his theater hopes to generate a butt load of cash from - and he pans it. I wonder if ShogunMaster has a chip on his shoulder. Maybe he wasn't invited to the screening and was so pissed - he decided to take revenge.

Since Derek Flint wrote a qualified positive review, saying he's not the biggest fan of the series, and just had a good time, people are calling him a plant that's being "defensive?" Sounded like a reasoned, well written review to me. ShogunMaster's review was crude and seemed to come from a low IQ.

"That'll be the day.", I know you've never seen that movie because you're an illiterate bastard but hey, you're the tough guy mongoloid here. I also just figured you out Rocky, you're the poor dumb bastard with the shitty fucktard father that used to call him a pussy everyday because you'd come home with some big bull queers nut sack sweat all over your chin from being "forcibly" sodomized. I say "forcibly" because apparently there was an extra added measure of guilt because way down deep inside in places you don't talk about at parties you relished being taken by the back of the head and skull fucked. I know, don't cry big guy, it's not often someone looks deeply into another's soul and sees their gut wrenching pain and guilt so clearly, but I could tell by the way you were flirting with me and giving me your location you really did miss those days. Sadly for you I don't swing that way but you can't have everything. Now, down to brass tacks. Since you enjoy name dropping so much tell us all just what project you worked on with TheQueef? I'm interested and so are all of the talkback readers in seeing your work. If not, I understand a twat like you has to make himself feel special somehow. And since you're so free with personal info, drop your name and address in here so the next time I'm in Cali I can come by and knock out your old ladies front teeth with my cacker. It'll be more dick than the sweaty pigs had in a while I'm sure. And in case you were wondering your empty douche bag threats are cracking me up. In the history of twats on AICN you are certainly the twatiest. You're toolness is EPIC... EPIC shit bag. And for those of you who live in Cali, feel free to pay this shit heel a visit and have a laugh on him. He'll be the one out front shitting in his hand and throwing it at people.

Alex Trevelyan, did you wake up this morning... by poeticwarriorII	May 11th, 2008 10:58:34 PM
hunting the cat that shit in your mouth? I'm sure you did because of the ass eating contest you and solobear had with each other last night. I know you're a colossal cunty that enjoys being gagged with huge black dildo's and all, but you should really keep your self-loathing pent up a little more instead of coming on here and yammering on with lame ass "insults". You're nearly as bad at it as I am the Terminator. And he's making a concerted effort at being bad. And I don't know what kind of fucking snuff porn your pathetic ass is jerking off to but godddamn you should really go to a different store if that's what your getting shit bag. You're going to make your mother cry when she finds the tapes you've got stuffed under your mattress and really that's not fair to the whore.

if I get caught with a group that wants to go see it, I probably won't be the loan dissenting twat. But it won't be something I call people up to get them to go see. My anticipation bottomed out as soon as I saw that TheQueef was in it. Maybe if I was 10 again his smarmy "oh look at me I'm the quintessential American teenager" bit wouldn't wear me the way it does. But this motherfucker does one thing and one thing only and the only reason he's in this is because Spielberg has a fascination with untalented Jewish people.

The point I meant to get across in my comment wasn't that adults can't enjoy Indy films, just that they can't get the same kick from seeing them for the first time as they did as a kid. It's not that I don't still enjoy Indiana Jones, I'm just saying I don't think I'm going to get the same kick from this new one that I got from the original Indy films I first watched when I was in grade school.

EXT.THEATRE DAY - A morbidly obese 40+ chainsmoking derelict glances nervously at a slightly built, heavily acned teenager in an INDIANA JONES SUX t-shirt. They sidle up to each other. "Hey, are you, um, er, poetic ...." "Yeah. Warm isn't it." "Anyway man, seeya." They walk rapidly away in different directions.
Bravo to the review by Chaiworks	May 11th, 2008 11:49:35 PM
Finally, someone who has a great attitude about the movie and who has posted a sensible review. Too many "armchair quarterbacks" as reviewers... -slamming a film, as if they themselves were PROFESSIONAL SCREENWRITERS and DIRECTORS. Anyone can sit back and take pot shots at any film and start pointing out why it wasn't good, or "why didn't they do THIS!?" --the "This" being what the reviewer wanted to happen. My answer to that is, WRITE YOUR OWN SCREENPLAY, get it made, and then sit back and smile when someone takes pot shots at your screenplay. Sure, nothing will ever compare to what we imagine the ultimate Indy (or any) film will be. My point is that these reviewers shouldn't slam films in such an arrogant fashion until they themselves have written their own stories. They should realize that a blank sheet of paper (or blank computer screen) is an intimidating thing. Writers are pulling this stuff from their imaginations; it simply didn't exist beforehand. I challenge anyone to write a good Indy screenplay --anyone who is slamming the film for "this" or "that." Write your own instead of wasting words criticizing the exciting work of others. Armchair quarterbacks... please step back. Imaginative writers/directors, I applaud you.

I realize you had a busy day of ass fisting your mother during your deliverance like holiday, but butting that brown stained lump you call a nose in where it doesn't belong is pretty fucking retarded at this point. Not only that but holy shit couldn't your dumb ass possibly think of something a little more original than the same shit sniffing stuff that's been said on here a thousand times, are you that goddamn dumb to regurgitate shit for the umpteenth time and expect people to laugh at it?

Stevie Grant, I would've agreed with you... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 12:17:41 AM
especially after having been disappointed with those god awful prequels, had I not been so thoroughly pleased with Iron Man. Maybe those guys have gotten so old and so lazy that they just don't give a shit anymore. Whatever it is, their latest work has been less than stellar. Fuck, I hope I'm wrong. I hope I don't know what the hell I'm talking about but from watching those trailers and seeing TheQueef in full on Wild One, I'm not holding out any such hope. I have a bad feeling this is TPM all over again. Maybe it's just my intense hatred for TheQueef causing it, but I just can't help the dread of knowing he's horribly miscast in this as some bastard child of Indy. It's a forced ploy trying to capitalize on his "notoriety" and based solely on that. It's got nothing to do with his talent. And quite honestly I get the feeling that this entire movie is forced and pathetic from square one.

Strangely, I watched Iron Man earlier tonight. I'm not a fan of the comic book movies, but the cast kept me interested (Downey and The Dude were a lot of fun to watch, and Gwen was very pretty). And, yeah, Shia just pisses me off (despite the fact I can't think of one thing I have against him). More to the point, however, Harrison Ford is in his sixties: it's not the best time to bring up a son character/subplot angle into the franchise. But I'm not disagreeing about the forced aspect, I'm just hoping most of the negativity stems from people first seeing an Indy film as an adult, and not a 4th grader. Not like any of this matters, I'm still going to watch the flick within the first couple weeks.

Stevie Grant, the one thing I know... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 12:41:28 AM
I dislike is the fact that he's done the same thing in every movie he's ever been in. He always plays this douche that feels out of place in the world and responds by stammering and yammering some silly shit supposedly meant to be funny. That's it, that's all he does. I've never seen him do ANYTHING else. He's going to do the same thing in IJ and quite frankly watching how Spielberg tries to force that kind of character into this movie is going to be painful. A shoe horned son plot coupled with gee I'm so old my prostate hurts comments throughout is just not what an Indy movie should be. It could've been more but it's not because GL still thinks he's smart.
No seriously DocPazuzu... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 12:42:36 AM

I don't know by Stevie Grant	May 12th, 2008 12:57:22 AM
I grudgingly give Shia some respect for that golf movie of his, cause I don't really have anything against the movie all in all. On the other hand, I just felt ashamed for typing that first sentence. And, yeah, Shia will be painful to watch in this movie, and so will Indy's interactions with him, and so on and so on. I just hope I can get past all that bullshit and enjoy a new Indiana Jones movie. DO NOT RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS (I don't want to debate it, and I know it will anger most of this site's regulars): but, I've never felt any loyalty to Lucas or Spielberg. Yeah, they've made some really cool films, but they aren't the end all be all of coolness... they just have certain (fanboy-dedicated) corners of that room.

i really do too. I love Raiders and this is another IJ dammit. But I know if this is more TPM than Raiders enjoying it is going to be really hard to do. I feel the same way about Spielberg and Lucas. They've done some great things but damn have they turned around and screwed it all up! These franchises would've been better had these guys had someone who wasn't afraid of telling them they just had a really bad idea when revisiting them.

DocPazuzu, what I'm saying cunt... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:09:30 AM
is that your two ass buddies were on here earlier trying to pull the same stupid shit as you, you fucking twat. We've been through this already although you're like a bitch I used to date that would sit around with her thumb in her twat trying to figure out what was going on and then she'd pop in and say some bitchy useless twatty thing and then she'd get pissed when nobody would pay attention to her. But it's a nice try, perhaps when your vagina quits hurting you and you learn how to google you won't be such a little whining bitch.
and by the way DocPazuzu you ignorant fuck... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:12:57 AM
just because I won't be baited into naming names so I have to listen to you and your slutty sisters pissing and moaning about racism and Jew Fros for the next 10 goddamn days does not mean there is only one, you get it shit for brains, or do I need to spell it out for you a little more?

And by the way you fucking redneck hillbilly I'm still waiting on your address so I can fuck your fat ass old lady while you're blowing your way to the top Hollywood. What a retard.

I don't have to qualify a fucking thing to your cunty ass, nothing. I don't have to dignify one goddamn thing to you, nothing.

I wasn't going to go there, but since you insist. Ben Kingsley is pretty god damn shitty most of the time, Christ his line-up of work reads like a what's what of schizophrenic decisions. Harrison Ford, while good as Han or Indy is pretty fucking terrible in everything else. Perhaps stevie brings out the best in him. And how about that Richard Dreyfuss? With the exception of Matt Hooper he's pretty much been a what exactly? Best actor for being a Jew in a shitty movie and a coke head? I'm pretty sure he's gotten batshit crazy in the last few years as well but that was probably from all the drugs. David Paymer, hey he's a real wiz bang right? I mean shit he's AWESOME!!! That dude is on everyone's A list. Jeff Goldblum as BSB stated, hasn't exactly been burning up any theater screens lately. Adam Goldberg, hey now, he's waiting to bust out right Pazuzu?

Good morning pillow by Abominable Snowcone	May 12th, 2008 07:20:23 AM
and fellow warciples. How was your baseball game on Friday? Rained out? Ours was good--the pitching matchup between Sabbathia and Halladay was a good one. Sadly, we left in the 7th because our kids were restless, and that's when the Indians bats decided to wake up. Yesterday's game was rained out. They could have gotten it in, and should have, because it's raining worse today
morning Abom... by just pillow talk	May 12th, 2008 07:25:34 AM
Nah, it was rained out, so they double dipped it on Saturday (didn't go). I saw that you went to a hell of a pitching match-up before the tribe slugged them. I'm very jazzed to see this...
Yeah it was a fun time by Abominable Snowcone	May 12th, 2008 07:34:40 AM
It was my daughter's birthday. She had a good time. Turns out Rick Manning (ex-Indians, and now broadcaster for Sportstime Ohio) sent out birthday wishes to her, so that was cool. But my son is only four, and he was more interested in Slider (the Indians mascot) and Cracker Jack. He caught on after a while and whenever a vendor would come into our section and yell, my kid's hand would shoot up. Beer, peanuts, hot dogs--didn't matter. His hand would go up and he'd be smiling. We had some Blue Jays fans in our section. A couple were drunk, but some were cool. One of them gave my kid a ball from batting practice, so that was nice of him. I'll probably check out another game this week, and again the 23rd
that's cool..... by just pillow talk	May 12th, 2008 07:40:14 AM
I've found that the drunks generally aren't as bad at baseball games as at football games, so you can bring kids to the game. Except Saturday afternoon games.
I think Arc was better, but I rewatch Crusade more than any by Coughlins Laws	May 12th, 2008 07:46:51 AM
of them. I never rewatch Doom. Crusade is definitely the most fun and I appreciate the dyanmic between Ford and Connery more and more evey time I see it. It's rare to see to icons like that be able to share screen time that doesn't seem forced, i.e.-Pacino and DeNiro in Heat. The scene with the plane chasing them with Connery saying, "I think they're trying to kill us!" and Ford screams, "I KNOW!" is comedy gold. It's amazing, in retrospect that Connery was able to be believable because he's spent a career playing in control tough guys and just won an Oscar being a bad ass cop, that he was convincing as an old man that is feeble and not used to violence. I just wish they could have done one more during the 90's and then this. 4 seems like an odd number but I would have like 5. I think it's conceivable they may do one more if this is as huge as they expect. I hope we're not wrong and that everyone really has been looking forward to another Indy movie. Guess we'll see in about a month...

I'm a lot like the reviewer. I like the Indy films, but I'm not a die hard fan. It's probably been 7 - 10 years since I've watched any of them. I liked Raiders, didn't really care much for Doom, and really liked Crusade (probably because it was the first of the films that I saw in a theater).

The "for the kids" argument is bogus. by Luscious.868	May 12th, 2008 08:23:54 AM
When it comes to the Star Wars prequels and Indy 4 the "it's for the kids" argument is complete and utter shit. The "kids" of today weren't even an itch in their daddies pants when the original movies were released. The "kids" who saw those movies then are adults today and their kids, if they have seen the originals, probably think their lame because of the crappy FX as compared to modern movies for "the kids" today.
Mini Review by jones1899	May 12th, 2008 08:51:05 AM
So a ...um....friend of a friend (sounds like BS already doesn't it?) saw Indy 4. I've kown this person for over 10 years. Older person. Loved Raiders and liked the other two somewhat as well. This person's review is basically that the movie is really good. The time flies by. Can't wait to see it again (hardly ever sees movies more than once). Would have changed a thing or two here and there. Blanchet is very good. Shia is very good. Its just really fun and "better than the last ones" not sure if that means TOD and LC or not. Other person who saw it also said the same thing, but this one know it all person said he didn't really like it, but LOVED Speed Racer.... SO there you go. Can't wait!
Nah, not a war. by DocPazuzu	May 12th, 2008 08:54:20 AM
pooethic is a troll who's been here forever. I normally don't engage him but got bored and decided to poke him with a spoon. The guy is really a non-entity. Google his username and in virtually every talkback he partakes in, he'll jump in and say something vaguely obnoxious and toothless and be met with a wall of silence. Considering that this is AICN, where even a mild provocation will mostly result in a torrent of verbal abuse and sometimes threats of sexual violence, that's really saying something about how much of a failure this guy is. He's like a wannabe panterarocks, which is sad on so many levels.
Whether it's good or not, Indy 4 has an uphill battle... by sapno_krei	May 12th, 2008 09:02:14 AM
The audience for the movie doesn't exist anymore. The 7 - 13 year old kids who loved it in the 80s are a bunch of cynical adults now, and the kids of today are used to Michael Bay-action and CG animated cartoons. (Seriously, I sat and watched ROTLA with some 12 year olds recently and they were annoyed by the fact that Indy's punches don't seem to connect with the bad guys' faces.)

Yes, I know what you mean. Most of the time i just 'walk away' but sometomes the level of stupidity is so great that one can not help but to respond. I found myself doing so - half-heartedly, with Morbid and his justifying of the Iraq war. He does not have the brain power to be really offensive, or back it up - and I say that without rancor, but still I was bored that day and so I took the bait. It is pointless with people like him though, because they really do not have the capacity to see beyond a narrow minded point of view.

I may be a cynical adult, but I'm still an Indy fan and I've already bought a couple tix for the show. And my kids are comin' with me to one of those showings. They love the Raiders' series.

I think kids of today will appreciate any well made, entertaining movie. Just like we did when we were kids. Yes, times change, tastes change, but the reason some movies made almost 80 years ago are still enjoyable today, is becuase they where well made.

Guys that look like they've been around the block and would beat the snot out of you if you tried to bullshit them. Harrison Ford, as much as I've enjoyed his performances over the years, doesn't to me, seem to fit that description. Of course, Ford never really played the "tough guy" role, more of the everyman forced to action. Maybe someone like Tommy Lee Jones..

Maybe I should quantify that by saying that the CoC enriches everyone's lives (even non-members), and the number of things that the CoC provides to the world, nay, life itself, can never have a number associated with it.

For example, single-handily I have declared pencil jihad on many of my fellow employees and our auditing firm. To date, I have impaled 17 employees and 3 auditors with my #2 pencil. That's keeping the unemployment rate down, increasing pencil production, and keeping funeral homes busy. Good for the overall economy.

You are correct about the lack of a 'Man's Man' in film today. Nothing to really compare with the action starts of the early sixties through mid 70's. Arnold, Willis, Stallone, Ford, never really took on that mantle -even when their respective movies kicked ass. Some of that may be simply due to the previous generation having fought in and survived WWII -this added a hardened lustre to their performances. But before we lament that no more such stars exist,look at McQueen. In his early work, he was not what you would call a Man's man, he was a teen rebel -of a sort. He grew into the role, and there very well may be actors now, who will fit that mold.

I'm not sure who would fit that mold toad.. by just pillow talk	May 12th, 2008 12:13:17 PM
out of today's actors. I mean, who qualifies as a young actor who fits the "action" star category? Statham? I don't think of him as a bad ass though, and I really think it's because of the type of action movies that are typically made now. Don't get me wrong, I like him, but I just don't get that "bad-ass" feeling with him. Damon? No way, and I love the Bourne movies. Affleck? Um, next... Daniel Craig? Nah, no proven track record, though I love his take on Bond. Who could possibly take up the mantle?
Ryan Philippe will assume the mantle by Abominable Snowcone	May 12th, 2008 12:23:02 PM
Shit, no--I'm just kidding. Downey was good in Iron Man. I could see Matthew Fox doing some action shit. Heck, if they'd give me a call, I'm in as well. As a card-carrying member of the CoC, I am administering pencilpocalypse at any given moment anyways.

The first thing I would do is look at the current crop of movie villains - always a source of bad assness. I need to rack the brainpan for some though. As for the current crop of good guys who can 'make the leap', in no particular order: Damon Pitt (once his looks fade) Gyllenhall Craig

The mantle - in a few years. Just like all of the ones I mentioned on my list. As for Damon - I realize that will be a stretch - but consider -he totally kicked ass as Bourne, and no one saw that coming. The older he got, the more believable he seemed. Give him a few more roles - and years, and he may very well assume the mantle. But my real money is on a the dark horse Gyllenhal.

Action films just aren't like they used to be. by rbatty024	May 12th, 2008 12:56:08 PM
Which is good and bad. For every enjoyably cheesy Arnold film of the eighties there were plenty of terrible knockoffs. These days most actors can't sustain a career on only action vehicles. I also don't think most want to. They want to do the big blockbuster in between their artistic projects. Stratham is the closest we've got to an action star and most of those films are pretty bad. I also agree with whoever mentioned that too many actors these days are pretty boys. If I'm not mistaken Clint Eastwood made Spaghetti Westerns because no one in Hollywood would hire because of his looks. It would have been a shame to lose Eastwood as an actor.
I too just watched Temple of Doom a few days ago... by rbatty024	May 12th, 2008 12:59:47 PM
and I was struck by how well they handled the relationship between Indy and Short Round. I loved the scene when they're talking to the village elder and Short Round is mimicking Indy's mannerisms. I also love how Indy doesn't leave the temple trap because he realizes he would have to leave Short Round in the trap alone. There are a bunch of little moments throughout the film that make the relationship between the two touching without being sappy. It's a wonderful example of show don't tell.

Flynn was the very first 'bad boy' of cinema. His real life adventures -before during and sadly after, his career, made him the kind of man that men of his generation wanted to be. ' In like Flynn' was coined because of his sexual prowess. Wayne may have been the Manly man of the 40's, but Flynn carved out his own niche.

This is the fuckin review im gonna believe. Can't believe all the geeks ragging on this movie. From day 1 of this film being announced i knew there would be negative reviews from previews..sure as egss are eggs.. that was gonna happen. Im just pissed so many are jumping on the bandwagon..ok..so i havent seen it myself yet but ive seen enough from the trailers and tv spots and stuff ive read that this will be a fun adventure. People have missed the point with the trailers completely..think moriarty or someone else on here was dissing the trailers coz of the pace issues and so on..what people forget is that spielberg has treated this film differently from any other film put out there as he doesnt want to give anything away about the plot/story,so the trailers dont have a linear structure like most others do. Secondly..for all those Lucas haters out there..THIS IS A STEVEN SPIELBERG MOVIE ! ..lucas did not direct this or write the script and apart from the brief story outline originally conceived by said beard, had NO CREATIVE INPUT in this thing whatsoever!!!. If Lucas was directing this from his own script..then sure id be worried too but i have total faith that we are going to see one last fun adventure for indy. Im in my mid 30's,so i can remember when last crusade came out in 89 and was originally disappointed with it amongst other friends of mine who felt the same way too..of course over the yrs ive grown to love it more and more and i suspect it will be the same with this new one. Just give this movie a chance..Lucas got one thing spot on when he said peoples anticipations about KOTCS was way over the top..if you'd have waited say 20 yrs for LOTR "ROTK" to have come out after the first two,people would have knocked that as well. I JUST CANT BELIEVE SOME OF THE JERK OFF REVIEWS OF IT SO FAR ON HERE..AND FOR ONE PEOPLE TAKE FILMS SOMETIMES WAY WAY TOO SERIOUSLY..ROLL ON MAY 22ND

But he seems more intent on expanding his acting chops, and not doing straight up actioners. Owen - Great tough guy actor, he could make the leap but will he get the opportunity? Maybe. Farrell? - Nope. Viggo - Yes. He could do it, but he is getting old. It will have to be very soon, or it will be too late. Brolin - late bloomer. But I have not seen enough if him to have a true opinion. Intrigung though. Bardem - I think he is more interested in character than action. Urban - No clue. Lucas - I do not see it.

No B.S.Review (Some Spoilers!!!!!!!) by jones1899	May 12th, 2008 02:51:04 PM
Here's my Indy review. I'll make this quick maybe. First of all, after reading some of the other reviews, I found myself wondering if they were legit or not. I am a huge fan of Raiders, really enjoyed Last Crusade, but don't enjoy TOD like I did when I was younger (though the scene where Indy knocks the baddie out and sends him sliding in the gravel get me everytime) Anyway, I was pretty good about avoiding spoilers, figuring I'd have a chance to see the film early anyway. So, as far as verifying the other reviews, well I just couldn't be sure. Come to think of it, even after seeing it, I still can't be sure, but all I can say I have strong doubts as I'm sure some will have about my own review. What I won't do I post spoilers here to convince you. I went in spoiler free and I think they may have a lot to do with my opinion of the film: What is that opinion? Well, I left the theater excited at the thought that I just watched the best Indy movie since Raiders. Yes, it is that good. In fact it is very good. Is it perfect? No, but then I don't think Raiders is a perfect film either (though its flaws are quite minor). TOD and LC have bigger problems here and there, but remain great regardless and more than worthy follow ups to Raiders. So, yes, considering all of this KOTCS fits nice and snug after Raiders. Let's start with the bad news. There are some one liners that don't quite work like they should. Second, the links to the other movies (besides Marion) could have been handled better. I'm glad that they're there, but I didn't get the same smile on my face as I did with the Ark in LC. Suffice to say there are similar thinks at work here (very similar in fact). Also, the climax of the film will split fans and viewers right down the middle. It happened to work for me, but may piss off others. Those afraid that the alien angle would diminish the magic of the other films - don't worry. It's actually referenced somewhat and handled quite well. Okay, now the good stuff. Ford has en energy on screen that I haven't seen in a decade or more. The trailers are edited quite poorly especially with the dialog, but in the film it works for the most part (minus the few one-liners mentioned above). Also, I read one review saying there was a major death and that is not true. It's not a minor death either, but it does have a nice impact considering how well the character worked in this universe. Shia is not the character you think he is in the trailers. He does a great job in this and those who disagree even after seeing the film will at least love the trick in the end. I won't spoil it, but suffice to say there will be sighs of relief and big smiles in the audience. Let's just say it invlves "torches". Spalko is really odd here and though it took a few minutes to get used her, I ended up enjoying this villain more than any other (minus Belloq of course). What else. The action has a nice weight to it. The stunts are amazing. The set pieces (there are many) are clever and well thought out. The critter scene (big ants and another surprise!) is creepy and, yet again, second only to Raiders. Blows the socks of the rats in LC. The campus chase was very fun and even gives a nod to Marcus along the way. Most of all, the reunion of Indy and Marion was perfect. This is the scene I had been waiting for and it just hits the damn mark dead on. As does the relationship between Indy and Mutt. It reminded of LC for obvious reasons, but takes a different angle that adds to the whole package - even the action. The last review I read said it better than I could and was spot on. Also, let me say that Hurt and Broadbent get the job done well also. I was worried Hurt's character would try to be to eccentric and goofy, but I was pleasently surprised. Broadbent does pretty much play Marcus, but fits in as well as he could. Wow I am really rambling here. In the end I expect this will make a decent dollar (to say the least) and the reviews will be around 85% positive, which is better than the other two sequels. Again, I can't say that the other reviews weren't legit. Hell, maybe the positive ones are fake and the bad ones are real. What I can say is do yourselves a favor and don't read too many spoilers before hand. You have less than 12 days left to wait and I know first hand that going in with barely a clue as to what I would see paid off big. Oh and I forgot about the score - great as well, but you can go to amazon and see that for yourselves. So Raiders remains the king (a 10). Skull is second (a solid 9). Then LC (8.5) and TOD (8) pulling up the rear. Tonally I'd say a mix of them all. Ok here's one spoiler to get you excited: There is a wedding, but there are no dumb cameos. Whew.

t40stunt, yes I know your hooked cunt... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:23:36 PM
so are your ass eating train partners here. You can't get enough and you also make shit up that makes no sense and then you sit around patting yourselves on the back like the useless cunts you are when you've done absolutely nothing. You twats are like a microcosm of Congress. A collection of old worn out, easily manipulated diseased old assholes who stand around and clap at the slightest accomplishment. But I digress, you've gone and worn yourself out earlier trying to think of something to type. Way to go Hollywood, way to go! MY FANS!!!
a few words... by STLost	May 12th, 2008 03:25:21 PM
I don't post much. I've lurked on here for years. Trying to read the posts for this particular talk back, I'm amazed at some of the writings of a few posters, most noteably, PoeticWarriorII. It just makes me wonder if we met him in RL, on the street, and started a conversation with him, would be be littering the discussion with cuss words and digusting references to body parts. Or would he be the shy type that barely speaks, and only gets to come out of his shell through the anonymity of Talkback. Makes you wonder. I digress. On topic. I'm looking forward to the new Indy movie. The trailers have gotten me excited. I rank the originals like this: 1)Raiders 2)Temple of Doom 3) Last Crusade
kolchak, I'm not quite sure what this guy was... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:26:38 PM
looking for. Nor do I understand his apparent lack of humor. Most people think it's pretty damn classic IJ. I don't think I've EVER heard anyone complain about that before. Very Strange.
STLost, ALL ABOARD... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:30:03 PM
don't let the twat train leave you behind you shit eating testicle wart. You're so fucking dumb I'm surprised your mother didn't smother you as a child with one of her fat droopy tits. It's called literacy asshole, try reading a few posts before you open your shit hole next time fucktard. I'm glad I've got a new fan though. They just keep piling up. MY FANS!!!
STLost, come on buddy, don't crawl back into... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:37:58 PM
your shell, it's ok. We'll get t40 to rub out your sore hurting twat! Everything was going so well to. :(
fuck yeah i clap myself on the back by t40stunt	May 12th, 2008 03:43:51 PM
cause your shit is weak pwank . really it is, no imagination other than some of the bad words you find on the cover of daddy's porn tapes . let me know where i can send my fan mail money so i can show up and plant my size 10 boot in your ass . i'm sure you won't feel much as your used to inserting random objects up there .ain't you late for that 10 man cum slam you were talking about earlier ...powarrior gotta eat . enjoy making your cash the hard way ho .
sigh. by STLost	May 12th, 2008 03:44:13 PM
You're making my case for me. I don't even have to respond. I bet if we met you in RL, you'd be at a loss of words and could only mumble "yes" or "no". I'm sure dating for you is a lot of fun. You sound good to the ladies online, but when they meet you, all you do is nod and say "do you like star trek or star wars better?"
Apparently it's not too weak Hollywood... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 03:50:15 PM
you keep feeling your pride and self-esteem fall every time you read something hence your impulse to type a reply. You can sit and say it's weak or whatever. I really don't care because in the end, your actions speak louder than your words ever could. I'm still waiting on you to post your shit Hollywood. You're the one that's so big and bad, so post it up cunt. You're old lady was telling me how she wanted the corn on the cob through a tennis racket treatment the next time I was out tere anyway. Poor Holllywood, his dreams were always bigger than his reality.

Cunts who can't think of anything but yet believe reposting the same tepid shit they've posted before somehow makes it more relevant really piss me off. Fuck you ST you useless shit eating cunt. Come back when you've got something more creative shit for brains. Either that or get back to your guidance counselor job and molest some more children.

what...? by t40stunt	May 12th, 2008 03:59:49 PM
oh shit , your hurting my self esteem pwank ...please stop ...no ! all i want to know is if you like Indy or not. if so can i count you in on buying it on dvd to help with that nice residual check i'll be getting next year . then i can laugh all the way to the bank and worry about my big dreams and how you crushed them cause you think i'm lying . you in ..good . by the way my old lady could kick your scrawny little ass so i'd get to save myself from getting your teeth embeded in my knuckles . your right though i am bad .
Temple of Doom line... by STLost	May 12th, 2008 04:00:24 PM
"We are going to die" - great line from Temple of Doom. Poetic: I'm spouting the same stuff over and over? Have you looked back at any of your posts? All you do is pull out your MadLibs and create new comebacks that say the same thing. We have to wade through your crap to actually read any of the on-topic discussions. Trying to impress the board by cussing and acting ignorant isn't cool. That type of stuff got old in 1995. Were you even born then?
to everyone else by t40stunt	May 12th, 2008 04:02:44 PM

Typical Hollywood... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 04:08:14 PM
it's called pride, and it's fucking with you. Pride never helps, it only hurts!! BWahahaahhaahahah, poor Hollywood, he thinks he was in IJ. Unless... TheQueef, is that you? Or have your meds worn off and you just think you're TheQueefer? By the way, point proved. I knew you wouldn't let me down Hollywood. I knew it!
STLost you and the rest of these cunts... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 04:10:50 PM

Oh yes Hollywood... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 04:13:47 PM
play the poor tortured soul now. Oh you're so sorry for not being able to control yourself to the point you impulsively continue to look like a fool. Poor you, you're such an abused little cunt. Is you're fat ass old lady repulsed by how much of a pussy you are or do you keep her coked up so she doesn't notice how much of a loser you are?
Poetic... by STLost	May 12th, 2008 04:15:05 PM
Since you are on here morning, noon, and night, you must feel some affection towards the people of Talkback? You must want to feel loved in some capacity.

what point did you prove boss ? and its not a matter of thinking ,its about knowing ...you just can't except that . i know its tough to think that only dorks like you come on here but its just not true . most of the folks come here to see how some people feel about a project . so keep living in that little box and denying what you really know is true . but i do like the name hollywood so thanks for that . you are a funny little shit if it makes you feel better though .
STLost, while I know your job as a guidance counselor... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 04:21:59 PM
is boring and leaves you with little inner satisfaction, save for all the children you molest, but coming on here trying to "analyze" me is probably not the way you wanna go champ. Nice try though cunt. However, since you can't help but continue typing responses I can safely say you certainly are enjoying the attention Ace. This is real easy for you dumb asses, ignore me and I'll go away. But you can't, your simple minds won't allow it. You just can't quit me. This has turned into an interesting experiment. Next...
Hollywood if your IQ could break 80... by poeticwarriorII	May 12th, 2008 04:28:21 PM
you would know exactly what you just stepped into. But since you're the Forrest Gump type I didn't expect you to "get it". You are threatening physical violence over the internet, you're a fucking fool. A cunt and a fool. That's a great combo to be dumb ass. You just can't stop can you? You have absolutely no control over what you do, do you?
Poetic: by STLost	May 12th, 2008 04:28:51 PM
Since I've been lurking at AICN since it's inception, and have now only recently registered to join in on discussions, I certainly do not need any attention. I'm afraid that honor is all yours. Who will get more attention, a post talking about the actual topic on hand, or someone like you, posting insults, off-topic digressions and just general immaturity. Anyway, if you are getting joy out of us flocking to respond to you, then I hope we are making your life worthwhile.

Hated movies DO NOT continue to make money. And if you are one of those who hated TPM and AOTC and then crossed your fingers in hopes of the third being "good" then fuck off and die. Seriously, only an abusive girlfriend/wife is dumber than you. That logic makes about as much sense as going to "Speed Racer" by choice or watching that Moriarty episode of "Masters of Horror."

Speed Racer was badass. Sorry, it was. Some reviews(just picking titles out of my head): Raiders was a masterpiece. Iron Man was near great. Spider-Man 2 was near great. The Indy sequels were badass. I, Robot was shit. Batman Begins was near great. Any other movies you'd like a review for? Heh.

So let me get one thing clear, a friend of a friend saw it? Then you decide to some time later casually inform us you've seen it yourself? You advise us to avoid spoilers, yet load your review to the rafters with spoilers? Finally there's a duplicate posting on Indy fansite forum The Raven of exactly the same initial review you posted here. I'm sorry Jones1899, but I really have a very hard time believing any of this.

Prossor by STLost	May 13th, 2008 08:52:09 AM
Prossor: Great comparisons between TOD and TLC. Really shows why TOD is a lot better than TLC. Also, TOD is a not the average "search for the relic" film. While TLC retreads RAIDERS, TOD fleshes out a competely different adventure. And Indy going from "fortune and glory" to helping the village is awesome.
This film will be awesome by SKULL1138	May 13th, 2008 08:55:47 AM
Just because it is Harrison Ford playing Indy, with the Indy soundtrack and a whip and shit, thats it. The concept of an adventuring archeologist is genius, and thats what makes these films so good. My fvaourites change order all the time, except Raider, it's alwasy no 1, I go on or off Temple and Crusade. I loved the humour between Connery and Ford in Crusade, but the action was a little more boring I thought. Temple had best action scenes and best bugs, but the humour was not all that funny (at points) and the overall story arc was a little weaker. Even this being the worst of them all would still be shit hot IMO. It will still be bettre than any action film except Batman Begins in last few years, or even longer in some cases. I am a huge Indy fan, and I wnat to love this, I dont care about neg reviews, I am still going to see it, if I dotn like it I will be surprised and dissapointed, but I wont cry about it. Lucas has the right as does Spielberg to fuck this up, its their thing they invented from scratch, all they can do is make what they feel works best, as they did with all other ones, and hope the audience agrees. Why even read a review for soemthing as big as a new Indy film, you are all going to see it anyway, so review it for yourself, if its soemthing new or obscure, then read reviews and decide to spend money on it or not, you dont do that for Indy, SW, Batman, Superman or LOTR, you just go and see it anyway, then judge from there
the pathetic warrior isn't racist by g-ride9000	May 13th, 2008 08:57:19 AM

My bad, sorry to get you all worked up like that big boy. I've got something that might work though...You need to get down to hollywood....right now pathetic warrior! Scotsman 75 is waiting and you two get a meeting will Speilburg and Lucas(via webcast). They want to know all you shit opinions right away! This could be the moment that turns your life out of the gutter! Oh yea! I forgot there's a passphase, It's "pathetic warrior's ducky cunt"just keep saying that. Something craptacular will happen.
Why all the fighting? by SKULL1138	May 13th, 2008 09:12:10 AM
Why do people who want to be really abusive to each other, (you all know who you are, I dont have to say)on a movie news forum. Isnt a regular chat forum more the place for that kind of thing. Does this site not have any moderators at all, like almost every other site I have ever been on? There dont seem to be any rules or behaviour codes in here, that is why this place ends up being a vacuum for all the people who want to type bad words into the computer for a laugh. Perhaps they should make some no swearing, or abuse rules or you get banned Just a thought I just think its annoying that 2 thirds of this room is people abusing each other. Why P.S. Dont start with me, I wont respond
SKULL1138 by DocPazuzu	May 13th, 2008 09:33:08 AM
Yeah, I remember my first day on AICN too...
Gods bless you, SKULL1138 by Franklin T Marmoset	May 13th, 2008 09:40:43 AM
It is written in the Ain't It Cool charter that two thirds of any talkback MUST be abusing each other at all times. Non compliance if penalised by a severe juggfuckling. Either that or TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION. That, sir, is the AICN way! I don't even like insulting people, but I do it from time to time just to keep the numbers up. Got a quota and all that. Cunt.
"Perhaps they should make some no swearing, or abuse rules or yo by Lost Jarv	May 13th, 2008 09:54:47 AM
Good Lord! What a horrible suggestion- that would truly rip the heart out of AICN. What Noob's like you don't understand is that vitriol and hatred are part and parcel of the Talkback- and better than that, are frequently highly amusing. What is astounding, though, is that despite 2/3 of each talkback being given over to abuse, underneath it all there is some great film chat. Unless memories-of-cock is involved. He has no chat, filmic or otherwise.
Too true, Jarv by Franklin T Marmoset	May 13th, 2008 10:10:18 AM
Talking crap about films amidst a barrage of juvenile poo flinging is the heart of the AICN experience. That's why I keep coming back. That and all the opportunities for sarcasm, of course.
Okay fair enough by SKULL1138	May 13th, 2008 10:10:57 AM
I am not a Noob by the way, been coming here for ages and I do post, but only on the films/TV projects I am interested in, and only while at work normally, so dont get much time. I was just bored trying to pick out all the actual discussions on Indiana Jones from all the butt fucking and what not. Just not my thing, perhaps I should find another site where they just discuss the story...any suggestions? Not trying to put anyone down, its obvious I am alone in my argument Thats cool
DocPaz, Franklin, & Jarv by Mr. Nice Gaius	May 13th, 2008 10:12:50 AM
Agreed and well said. Although, I admit that I wouldn't mind a little more board moderation...or at least a Mod bitch-slap every once in awhile.
It's the nature of the internets, unfortunately by Franklin T Marmoset	May 13th, 2008 10:21:01 AM
Slap up a site where anyone and everyone can express an opinion and the inevitable result is a certain amount of shit to wade through. Teenagers, deviants, angry assholes, people with mental health issues, Transformers fans (redundant, I know) - all can and will rush to vent a little venom. Nothing wrong with it, you just learn to either filter it out or make fun of them. There may well be another site with heavier moderation, but those are usually pretty anodyne and, well, boring. Try calling a few people cunts, SKULL1138, you might like it.

But that is what makes these talkbacks unique. Are you going to run across drippy little whores from time to time? Absolutely. But you take the good with the bad, and there are those whose opinions I always like to hear on various subjects (non-movie related as well). Ah, fuck CHUD too.

See, abusing adolescent languange is fun for all the family! Also, DocP is right. When the talkbacks are on form, there is nothing quite like it and very little so funny. Vern Vs Chaos, for example, or Vern Vs Horsefucking. In fact, Vern has some kind of magical talkback improvement power. The man even summoned Bruce motherfucking Willis. Where else in the world might you accidently exchange words with Bruce motherfucking Willis?

Now then, I agree/disagree with you on your TOD post above. While I generally prefer TOD over TLC, I can't say that TLC doesn't 'feel' like an Indy movie. It's still part of the Indy mythos, there's just parts that I don't like. But I still really enjoy TLC, just prefer TOD. Probably because it is different than Raiders. Now, I'm not sure how you can say the latest Indy film doesn't seem like a "genuine" Indy film. We haven't seen it yet, though from the latest trailers, I got the Indy vibe. And you feel skeptical, I do not. Perhaps it's the hope of seeing another quality Indy adventure, but I'm going to go into the next Indy looking forward to it. If it disappoints, I won't sugar-coat it and say it was a great, fun movie when it was not. You should do the same. Can you do that? You say another solid Indy adventure would make you happy, so then throw out the skepticism for now, and wait to see the movie before making a judgment about it.
TLC by STLost	May 13th, 2008 12:36:44 PM
I think what bothers me the most about TLC is how they portray Brody and Sallah. Brody for the first half of the movie was pretty much on target, then his character sort of derails and becomes a bumbling sidekick. Sallah just seems like he's added for a throwback to Raiders and mainly and cheaply, for laughs. Granted he was a little dopey in a few scenes in Raiders, but here he is just played for schtick.
Same old crap by rogueleader66	May 13th, 2008 12:37:11 PM
I have said it before and I will say it again, so many people on here claim to be movie fanatics, but they are anything but, I have never seen a group of people who say they love movies so much but hate so many movies. This nonsense of judging a movie based on trailers and word of mouth is ridiculous. Do you people (the haters) have your own minds? Obviously not because you make judgements on movies that you have not even seen, you are just going by word of mouth or trailers or supposedly legit "reviews" from people who claim to have seen the movie. Here's a radical idea, go see the fucking movie, then if you hate it your argument and criticisms will have some basis in fact. Until you have the brains to do that, do us a favor and shut the fuck up with your stupid hateful nonsensical rantings about movies you have not even seen.
rogueleader66 by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 12:41:23 PM
Amen brother. Though it does seem like the number of people who actually already hate the new Indy movie isn't that many, it's just a few who are VERY vocal and pointy headed, and refuse to listen to any valid and reasonable points. STLost, I completely agree, and I think that's a valid criticism of TLC. I've always been sort of torn with Connery's part in it. A little too much comic relief, but for me, these are minor gripes as I would never, ever, shut off TLC if I come across it on cable.
M-O-M by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 12:52:26 PM
Okay, now we are getting somewhere... First Iron Man. I too never really got into IM when I used to read Marvel, he was always a 'fringe' hero for me, but again, it has all to do with the casting decision of RDJ. I enjoyed the hell out of it, and while I need to see it a second time to properly put it into perspective, off off the first viewing it was my favorite Marvel origin movie. And you're on a roll, cause I also enjoyed M&C, Perfume, and BB. Perfume was recommended to me by Frankie T. Marmoset, and that was a good movie. Probably my favorite Dustin role in a long time. And the other two, well I thought M&C was a solid movie, and I love BB. And I can completely see your view (and others) on Crusade. It rubs people the wrong way in a number of aspects. Again, I can still enjoy the movie for what it is.

M-O-M by rogueleader66	May 13th, 2008 12:53:20 PM
I appreciate your honesty, it's nice to see someone on here who thinks a movie looks bad yet actually wants to be proven wrong, as most of the haters are pig headed assholes who pre-judge a movie and will maintain their hatred, even if they actually liked the film, just so they don't look like even bigger assholes. They will come and say "See i was right (movie title) sucked like i said it would", meanwhile they love it and have seen it 5 times. I'm willing to bet a lot of haters are like that but we won't ever know it because they are too busy trying to make the world think they are so smart when in fact they are as stupid as they come.

M-O-M, rogue is talking about those who by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 01:02:01 PM
hate just for the sake of hating, who immediately have made up their mind about a move before seeing it. They let someone else's opinion totally guide them into making a pre-determined judgment on a particular movie. And it's their mission to tell everyone that they are wrong, that the movie will suck, and that they are right. The "I told you so" gets kind of old when no one has seen the movie yet.

yeah, my theater too found that part quite amusing by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 01:33:19 PM
And yes, Transformers still sucks, as I just caught it for the second time a couple of nights ago. That movie should have been trimmed down 30 - 40 minutes, and that's just dealing with the time issue, not the horrendous characters. And I really like everything Nolan has done, probably insomnia being my least favorite. I am extremely excited to see TDK, as I think that will probably top every other previous comic book adaption. From my perspective, I cannot for the life of me understand the hate that Nolan receives in general, or the hate Batman Begins receives specifically.

Because there are times where I'll grow to like a movie after seeing it a second time. Transformers is not one of them. I never saw The Island, though I would watch it to see Scarlet run...and run...and run. And I certainly get the feeling that TDK will surpass BB in every regard, cause I just love everything I've seen so far.

The Godfather part 2 is a truly excellent movie and along with The Godfather, they are 1a and 1 (at least this week, next week they may reverse yet again). My point is that part 2 does not put Godfather 'out of the water' as you say. They swim side by side. Otherwise, I enjoyed reading your passionate defense of films.

Memories-Of-Murder, Rickey understood that by Rickey Henderson	May 13th, 2008 02:06:47 PM
And it was neither subtle nor funny. But hey, this is a film that uses dying Afghanistan villagers as a plot device to enable Robert Downey Jr's heroic awakening, so why should be expect any less? Here's the thing: politically, IRON MAN is a complete mess of a film. It's all over the place, going from treating Afghanis as helpless people in need of paternalistic U.S. intervention, or flat out vilifying them as mindless terrorist savages. Sure the movie was fun, but it was also pretty mindless and silly too. Not too far removed from Transformers.
Rickey by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 02:15:28 PM
I have to disagree. I did not have a problem with them using Afghanistan as the place where Stark gets wounded. It makes sense using a current real world "hot-spot". Now, as Stark didn't really care about the nitty-gritty of how his weapons were used before, I'm not sure why you have a problem with his "awakening". He realized that his own weapons were being used against American soldiers, and that innocent Afghani's were being harmed by those who took his weapons. Now just like any other action movie, it's easy to vilify a group to make them the movie's main bad guys. So what's the problem?
Xi, no problem dude by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 02:16:38 PM

M-O-M... by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 02:18:31 PM
Nathan was great in that role, though I would not want any further adventures of Indy without Harrison. In this case, for me anyways, this is not like Bond where different actors can step into the role. Indy is Harrison, and the character goes the way of the dodo bird once Harrison is done with him.
JPT/Brunomac... by Rickey Henderson	May 13th, 2008 02:27:33 PM
It's not a huge deal--overall, the movie was pretty entertaining. The whole real world angle just rubbed Rickey the wrong way, that's all. Rickey aint to keen on the idea of a 10 year old sitting down in the movie theater and being convinced that deploying Iron Man in the Middle East is the answer to all our problems. Fuck NATO, Iron Man's on the job! See what Rickey's getting at? The movie is fun and whatnot, but in it's own way, it's just as unabashedly patriotic as a Michael Bay movies. It's a parable about snazzy military technology being deployed to solve out problems in the Middle East. Yes, they villify Stark's company for selling arms illegally, but that's a very shallow and facile characterization of the situation. If it only WERE that simple, we would've busted a company like Halliburton years ago. In reality, the situation is more complex. Rickey's point is that you can't toss issues like this into a big budget comic book movie and expect em to work or be even remotely effective. And yes, the original Iron Man origin had Stark in Vietnam, Rickey understands that. They should've left out the subtext--just Rickey's two cents.
I didn't get that at all...IM being the solution by just pillow talk	May 13th, 2008 02:40:38 PM
to the Middle East problems. Nor did I take it as overly patriotic. Stark decided enough was enough, and had to just act on his feelings of what he, and his company, had done to American soldiers and innocent Afghani's. Where do you think the movie was overly patriotic Rickey?
JPT by Rickey Henderson	May 13th, 2008 02:50:01 PM

Memories by Rickey Henderson	May 13th, 2008 02:56:16 PM
Heh, alright, maybe Rickey took it too far by comparing it to Transformers (let's not say things we can't take back here, right?). Rickey's point is that the pro-America message is subtle, but it's definitely there. Superheros going out to battle the Taliban just seems like very a dangerous thing to show a kid, that's Rickey's take on it. Yes, they're part of the 12 Rings, but for all intensive purposes (as as far as a kid is concerned) they're the Taliban.
Fair enough, MOM by Rickey Henderson	May 13th, 2008 03:16:45 PM
Rickey just enjoys being occasionally contrarian, that's all. When a movie like Iron Man comes along and gets a bazillion glowing reviews here on AICN, Rickey'g gotta go out and find SOME issues with it, you know? Otherwise, what's the point of coming here anyway? The internet is for complaining about stuff, isn't it?. In sumnation, Iron Man was great, but Rickey's a bit more psyched for TDK and Indy. As the key villian in Iron Man said in another flick, "well... that's just like your opinion... man." Speaking of Indy, this is what Rickey does in his spare time when he's not on AICN. He writes articles about Indiana Jones filing his tax return: http://tiny.cc/FcFY1

What a heap of garbage. I remembered it being a bit mediocre but I actually thought I might enjoy it as a piece of escapism. I was wrong. It's truly awful. The kids are annoying, Willie Scott is incredibly annoying (what a let-down after the brilliant Karen Allen character) and the plot is mind-numbingly unengaging. Add to that the childish jokes and pranks - and I can't believe this was made by professional filmmakers. Having said that, I saw Raiders a few weeks ago - and it was brilliant: It's one of the best adventure movies - along with The Man Who Would Be King and Last Of The Mohicans (Michael Mann version). With Raiders they got the 'magic' just right. And where does this magic come from? Not even the creators of ROTLA seem to know - as they never managed to bottle it again.

JAWS CONNECTION TO RAIDERS by Ethan Big Nuts McKinley	May 13th, 2008 06:59:18 PM
At the end of the movie RAIDER OF THE LOST ARK when Indy and Marcus are being told the Ark is being worked on by "Top Men". Look In the Background of the Room they are in. The old man In glasses overseeing the meeting is the very same man that is at the autopsy of the sharks first victim conducted by Richard Dreyfuss!!! Is this a movie In-joke?? is is spielbergs dad ore something??
You guys didn't think Indy 4 would be GOOD, did ya? by jawsfan	May 13th, 2008 06:59:36 PM
I mean come on! For years Harrison Ford and Spielberg have talked about how progress on the fourth installment was stalled because no one could come up with a script that Lucas would approve of. Lucas, whose taste in stories has been questionable at best over the past 20+ years but especially the past 10, was insistent upon a storyline or theme like the one that ended up as the one for KOTCS, but Ford and Spielberg pooh-poohed on it because it wasn't "Indy material". Well George got his way and now we will all reap the disastrous results.

LEAVE TEMPLE OF DOOM ALONE!!!!!!!!! by Ethan Big Nuts McKinley	May 13th, 2008 08:39:50 PM
Thank God someone finally took a stand For Temple of Doom. You Guys are sooo WRONG!!!!. "Temple", In many ways Is an even purer version of the serials its homaging and an even purer version of Raiders. Its a non-stop ride, from James Bond style Indy at the start, It's episodic structure, fast pace all those iconic moments "No one's flying the plane!!", Diner Time, Spike room, Heart rip scene,, Its so 1940's style EC comics Horror Pulp, You could Argue IIt's even closer to the Serials and paperback fiction that inspired it existance in the 1st place! Also Indiana Jones Is "INDIANA JONES" In this. from his totally badass trade off of the diamond, to his total 24 carrot male chauvinism when he is about to seduce Willy..."years of field work"...He is in the tradition of those 30's/40's film stars - Clarke Gable, Charlton Heston, John Wayne, he'll save the world and probably try and shag your sister (and succeed). But also Temple has great heart to (Indy and Shorty Exchanging Hats, when shorty stops "evil" Indy) and the end, Oh my god!! How beep bad-ass Is Indiana Jones???!! He risks the lives of A woman and child just so He can beep Kill Mola Ram!!! THAT FOLKS, IS THE INDIANA JONES FROM THE CONCEPT PAINTINGS. A total mercenary grave robber alfa male whip cracking superhero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yeah Willy IS annoying but she is a one dimensional High society spoiled bitch ( a art deco Paris Hilton if you will....) So deal with it, she was meant to be that way!!! in total opposition to Marion's two fisted tomboy Character from the first.

when GEORGE LUCAS, of all people, apologizes for it, which is exactly what he did with Temple of Doom. I mean, this guy "gave" us the Star Wars prequels, and what does he feel the need to apologize for? Temple of Doom. I kid, I actually like all the Indy movies (and yeah, I do like The Last Crusade more than Temple of Doom.), but I did think that was ironic.

You may be getting an inexplicable pass from everyone here, but you are still the basest hypocrite ever to post. "makes the people who didn't get it not look the best to wear, i'm affraid." You are talking about the matrix sequels- 2 eternal sacks of crap. And no this had nothing at all to do with me missing classes or being an idiot. These are woeful, pretentious, poorly executed efforts that paste phoney intelligence over deeply flawed narratives. They have wooden acting, massive holes in the plots and are utterly, utterly dismal. Now dickhead, tell me again how "good" AvP:R is. I remember you exploding in an orgasmic spray of random letters at the prospect of this cinematic gold. And you think Indy 4 will be shit. How on earth is it more of a cash grab, with worse constituent parts, than AvP:R which you were excited about?

Everyone responsible for that cynical, miserable piece of offal should go to prison for crimes against pop culture. Oooooooh, I can't wait for Meg to open so that shithole Shane Salerno can come back here and defend his "work". Speaking of which, remember all those talkbackers defending AvP:R? Has anyone seen them since? Didn't think so. Didn't mean to go off on a tangent here, but any mention of AvP:R sends me over the fucking edge.

That's fanaticism, of the unreasonable kind." Nope, no double standards at work here. Not at all.

Doc Pazuzu, I noticed one more thing about THE HAT !!!! by NoDiggity	May 14th, 2008 05:00:08 AM
At the very end of Raiders, after the obnoxious military intelligence guy insists "Top Men", we cut to the outside of the building where a HATLESS Indy is being stopped by someone who has followed him out and is handing him his HAT, that he FORGOT, presumably because he was so angry he left without it. Another example of Indy being cavalier and careless with his Hats!
Actually, NoDiggity... by DocPazuzu	May 14th, 2008 05:02:20 AM
...it's proof that his hat catches up with him no matter what. Thank you for giving substance to my speculation that Katanga sent his gear to him after his adventure. You rock!
Memories of Murder, you missed the Hat debate. by NoDiggity	May 14th, 2008 05:47:03 AM
In which I merely pointed out that in RAIDERS Indy apparently goes through several hats. He replaces the one we see him wearing in the beginning (and soaking into shapelessness in the river) replaces it with a new one that we see him wearing on the plane (and which becomes filthy by the time he reaches Marion's bar), loses one Katanga's boat (along with the jacket and arguably the whip, neither of which are on him when he climbs on board the submarine), and is finally seen with another brand new hat at the very end of the film. So, by the end of the film, he is on his third hat, and almost loses that one! This seemed to upset the devotees of the Magic One Hat faith.

It is a great movie. But I cringe every time that damn monkey shows up. Worst moment in the movie, the monkey saying "uh oh". Okay, I'll give the monkey this .. he was effective in the scene where Indy thinks Marion is dead, and is getting drunk, and the monkey is all sad too.

if you cringe simply at the Raiders monkey going, Uh-Oh, then Temple of Doom must send you into convulsions. Which isn't to say I don't like Temple of Doom. But that movie has more of those slapstick moments, like when the big thuggee guard (Pat Roach) yanks the sledgehammer from Indy and throws it, and it lands on another guard's head with a DANG! Or when Willie is trying to get on her elephant, and the village women are gawking at her. Or when Willie is sprayed off the elephant. Or when Indy pushes on the boobs of the fresco to open the secret door. Or...there's just too many.

Raiders only had the monkey. The monkey going "uh oh", the implication that the monkey actually conversed with Eye-Patch, the monkey telling on Marion. But the monkey had good moments, as when he Sieg-Heiled the Nazis and they stupidly Seig-Heiled back. But Doom? Groaners from beginning to end.
At the very end of "Crystal Skull" by Abominable Snowcone	May 14th, 2008 08:56:58 AM

Diggity by Abominable Snowcone	May 14th, 2008 09:00:38 AM
the monkey Sieg-Heil was a nice touch. That's one thing my kid doesn't understand about Raiders that I have to explain repeatedly. She thought the monkey belonged to Sallah's family. I always have to explain that no, the monkey is a "bad guy" and belongs to the eye-patch guy. And she'll ask, well what's THAT guy's name? And I'll say, I dunno, he's just eye-patch guy. He's a spy for the bad guys, and his monkey helps him be bad. You know it's not Sallah's monkey, because his wife asks Marion and the group of kids where it came from. And sadly, the Seig-Heil simian pays the ultimate penalty for running with the Nazis. He expires from "bad dates."

This news story is fucking hilarious by strosmer	May 14th, 2008 09:54:48 AM
HOLYHEAD, Wales - A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones — aka Master Jonba Hehol — with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates' Court. He also whacked Jones' 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones — known as Master Mormi Hehol — bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said. The two cousins and Barney Jones' brother, Daniel, set up the Church of Jediism, Anglesey order, last year. Jedi is the faith followed by some of the central characters in the "Star Wars" films. The group, which claims about 30 members, says on its Web site that it uses "insight and knowledge" from the films as "a guide to living a better and more worthwhile life." "We all love the films and what they stand for. Obviously some people are going to laugh about it," the Wales on Sunday newspaper quoted Barney Jones as saying last month. "But a lot of people do take it seriously." Unfortunately for Hughes, his March attack was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle. "Darth Vader! Jedis!" Hughes shouted as he approached. Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand. "He knows his behavior was wrong and didn't want it to happen but he has no recollection of it," said Hughes' lawyer, Frances Jones. District Judge Andrew Shaw sentenced Hughes to two months in jail but suspended the sentence for one year. He also ordered Hughes to pay $195 to each of his victims and $117 in court costs. In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 — 0.7 percent of the population — listed Jedi as their religion.

M-O-M by Abominable Snowcone	May 14th, 2008 12:49:38 PM
Naw, that was a lame Die Hard 3 joke. The way I interpret Indy's relationship with Henry Jones Sr. is that he doesn't have issues anymore, he's gotten past his dad's obsession with the grail and gone on with his own life. However, he is forced to confront his father, and his father's issues, in Crusade because his father goes missing while in search of the grail. The issue comes to head, I think, during that scene on the motorcycle where Indy tells his dad, "I never understood it. Neither did mom." They patch things up nicely with Henry Sr. showing he's willing to let his obsession go, and he likewise tells Indy at the end to "Let it go," meaning BOTH the grail and whatever lingering resentment he may have had toward ol' pops. And they ride off into the sunset with a newfound respect and fondness for each other. What was it Henry Sr. told Indy? "Following you on your adventures has been...illuminating?" Or was it enlightening? Something like that.

Now, I don't profess that the guy makes movies of substance and great cinematic art, but I seem to be in the minority of people who have enjoyed most of his movies. Maybe it's because I take his movies for what I see them as, mindless popcorn entertainment. Characters that are nothing special (for the most part, Sean Connery as John Mason in THE ROCK was an awesome character IMO), just about the same music in each of his movies, and loud busy action sequences that try to distract from the shallowness of the movie. Like i said, I guess i'm in the minority by saying, so what? However flawed his movies are, and trust me I know they are, they entertain. Now some may call me shallow, or someone who has no true love of cinema, or simple minded with low expectations, but that is simply not true. There are some directors that I expect great things from, others i have low expectations for, same with actors. I guess what i'm saying is that I have never really seen anyone take the time to explain WHY Bay is such a "hack" or whatever you think he is. Don't get me wrong, we are all entitled to our opinions, and i'm not flaming anyone for hating Bay, i'm just curious to know exactly why you hate him.

Orcus, I just joined this party (damn I missed alot on here this week while I was on business travel!), but I think Abom was joking about the "original" KOTCS script. All par of the Die Hard 3 parody from a few posts before.

Why I dislike Michael PH Bay by finky089	May 14th, 2008 01:48:57 PM
two-fold: Whenever I read or see an interview with him, he comes off like a popmpous guy who thinks he's the raddest thing in Hollywood (next to Brett Ratner, of course), and that he knows better than anyone else hwo to make a movie, so we should all be kissing his ass and thanking him for his films. That kind of attitutde doesn't earn any respect from me. 2) I just do't really enjoy his films. And this is where 75% of my dislike for Bay comes from. Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Rock (which I actually did enjoy when I saw it in the theater as a teenager) - these movies are cut from a fabric specifically made to cater to the mass moron theater audiences. Hollyood studios and producers love it b/c it helps mitigate the risk of them not making a windfall on the movie (easier to market, potentially wider "target" demographic). But that rarely makes it a good quality film. The characters typically come off shallow or underwritten, the films are all about BANG and BOOM without much regard to story or character development, and they often include the "latest" hip rock songs, which certainly makes sense from a cross-promotional standpoint, but is fucking ridiculuous for movies which don't pertain to rock music. It's like he wants to make a rock nroll action flick everytime. But is only concerned with the "action" part and nothing else. That kind of film isn't satifying to me as a viewer. I know it obviously works for many theater-going boobs because they apparently eat it up, which just encourages the cycle and annoys me even more. I do't begrudge his success at all, just the insulting quality of his movies.
Last Crusade vs. Temple of Doom by NoDiggity	May 14th, 2008 01:49:05 PM
Granted, I only saw Last Crusade twice, once in the theater, and once a month ago on VHS. But the thing is, even as a pastiche, it was, of the two sequels, the one that seemed to care about honoring RAIDERS most. The goofy moments were higher than RAIDERS, but less than DOOM. There was a genuine sense of history and awe and reverence towards the past (and the unceremonious dumping of Richard the Lionheart's bones into the water, when his coffin is needed for protection, is a very Indyish moment). And I felt all the things you do now about the forced Father Son bonding crud, back then, but this time I didn't mind. Indy see
