Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the City of Gods (love this one)
* Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds (dumb)
* Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth (retarded)
* Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (more retarded)
* Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold (I like it but wasn't their a stupid King Solomons mines sequel named this)
* Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant (meh maybe)

[Redwoods Wolf]

i think that "city of gods" title is FAKE! i mean, think about it: Indy has been after the Ark of the Covenant AND the Holy Grail (4 the record, Temple of Doom was a PREQUEL! therfore, the "Indian sacred stones" don't nessisairly count). WHY would HE, a GOD-BELIEVING GUY would go after a place that worships MORE THAN ONE GOD?! I'll just wait until the trailer comes out in November 2 see what this title REALLY is...

...que?

That's a good point. The Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant are Christian artefacts. And they both work, so in the Indy universe, Christianity appears to be the true religion.

However, the bad guys in The Temple of Doom worship the Hindu Godess Kali, and the stones they use certainly have some kind of magical powers. So......hhmmmmmm.

[Advanced Dark]

He's an Archeologist not a Priest. He'll go after historic items wherever the opportunites present themselves. Why would he limit himself to just Christian artifacts? If it's real and it exists his beliefs can't discount them as being historic.

Well, we don't even know what Indy's beliefs are anyway, but we know Spielberg is Jewish, and Lucas descibes himself as 'Buddhist Methodist'.

Surely he wouldn't think that. He's an intelligent fellow!

[The Green Goblin]

He's an archaeologist, not an evangelist.

[The Chairman]

Harrison Ford is not even a Christian in real life.

[Mr. Socko]

If they're really after the ark in this one again, Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant would be fine.

Well, we don't even know what Indy's beliefs are anyway, but we know Spielberg is Jewish, and Lucas descibes himself as 'Buddhist Methodist'.

Lucas is a Buddhist? You've got to be joking. I thought they ate healty and kept their weight down.

Just kidding, but what exactly is that?

[Warhammer]

Haha, a "Buddhist Methodist."
If you fuse two different religions together, keep that kind of shyit to yourself.

:D

What's next?

"Muslim Catholic"...?

Clever stuff, this.

They've deliberately registered completely different titles to confuse fans as to what the plot will be about.

I'm still betting it's City of Gods though. Ancient astronauts, Chariots of the Gods, that stuff.

[Advanced Dark]

Yeah. That 2nd title would have been better for Fantastic Four 2.

so i take it all the titles are relevant to the movie?

theres a search for a covenant and crystal skull...
in a city of gods...thats made of gold..which is located in the fourth corner of the world...

[Advanced Dark]

It's all related.

[xwolverine2]

thats a huge heap of crap :eek:

[Kevin Roegele]

so i take it all the titles are relevant to the movie?


No. Atleast, I don't think so. Otherwise, they would have given away a lot of the plot already by letting us know all these elements are involved.

I think it's a decoy, and City of Gods is the real deal.

[Punch]

There's no Indiana Jones Forum?? anyway

Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
and
Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds

are the only ones that hold any interest for me as far as titles, the rest sound clunky. My bet is City Of Gods, though I think I'd rather the other. I also think that the "Quest for the covenant" will be the opening segment,

[Kevin Roegele]

There's no Indiana Jones Forum?? anyway

Why would there be? It's not based on a comic, and Indy is not a superhero, he's an old fashioned adventurer.

Comics by Marvel too.

Ahem, sorry to chime on this, but I consider the Ark of the Covenant a Jewish artifact. it is part of the "Old Testament," after all. It belongs to us.

Also, here's my theory:

So far, the Indy movies have covered 3 big religions: Judaism, Hinduism, and Christianity. I think we should take a step back and look at what big religions are left.

Buddhism
Islam
Taoism
And assorted other Eastern religions. I'm thinking that Indy 4 will somehow involve one of these religions.

[Advanced Dark]

Indiana Jones & Dora's Lost City of Mixed up Letters!

LOL!:woot:

No they did Indy comics in the '80s.

[xwolverine2]

woops for a sec there i thought you were trying to say indy shouldnt have its own forum

[Punch]

If James Bond has a forum, Indy deserves one too.

[bunk]

I think hunter already said it's not happening unfortunately.

[xwolverine2]

we DO sorta have enough

theres like 30

[Kevin Roegele]

james bond

So by that logic Indy IV is a comicbook adaption, and a superhero?

There were comics based on Jurassic Park as well, but surely you do not want them included?

Comingsoon.net has forums for those. A line must be drawn somewhere.

If you read the book "The Films of Steven Spielberg," they talk about the origin of the Indy films. One of those origins is Spielberg's desire to do his own version of the Bond series when he was turned down as a director of a Bond film. The other is Lucas' desire to do a series of movies touching on the three largest world religions at the time.

So yes, you are correct. They did a Judaism movie, a Hindu movie and then a Christianity movie.

However, since that time, Islam has charged up and become the second largest religion in the world! It would be great to see an Islam-based Indy, but I get the feeling that it would be too controversial for America to handle right now. From the sounds of all the spoilers so far, it looks like they're going to a counterpoint instead, and use "science" as the new version of religion in the film.

Yes, I agree completely. Though Islam is filled with plenty of it's own interesting myths and customs, it still is viewed as the "Anti-American" religion.

I like the idea of science. Could be very interesting for a man who has found the Ark, the Holy Grail, and those stones.

Don't say that...you're only feeding Tom Cruise. If he read that he'd be jumping up for joy on someone's sofa right now.

[Darkly Dexter]

After a long time, I just saw The Temple of Doom . What a disastrous movie. Terrible.

Raiders and The last crusade are still great though.

[Geo7877]

bond isnt a superhero....

Bond is a phenomenon that has lasted 21 movies, going on 22. He has been in virtually every media. The Bond franchise is huge, bigger then Indiana Jones. And it's just going to keep going. No one is going to want an Indy 5 with Shia leannoying taking the lead.

Deal with it, Bond is a close to being a superhero as you can get without powers.

[Bishop2]

Temple of Doom is amazing, what are you talking about?

Seriously, it's a fantastic flick. Easily better than Last Crusade, which I always felt turned Indy into too much of a "joke" by having him always cowtowing to his dad and being called "Junior" all the time. Too much humor, not as much genuine threat as in the first two.

i hope the cheese factor is taken away.... especially for a 2008 crowd...
WAAY to much cheese... cheese...cheese:woot:

the last movie is my favorite... although i might be only saying that because it looked crisp with a shiny new camera

CGI is added after filming, so he still has time. He'll probably break into the editing room, use the Force to distract the guards, and steal the footage for his own ILM boys to add thousands of zulu warriors and zombie pteradactyls.

I just CAN'T get too excited for this movie. I want to, but I can't :csad:

[DarknessOfDeath]

Give me a break. It's so stupid that I wanted to slap the kid and the woman.

lol. Its not stupid. I thouight the Woman was hilariously funny when she was screaming. "Ohhhhh Indy!" lol

The kid didn't bother me. He's the kid from the Goonies.

[The Amazing Lee]

I hope they don't use too much CGI, as Indiana Jones has always been about traditional ways of film making and using a very rough and edgy approach like the 1930s serials.

I don't mind a little CGI, but try and stick to the original formula. :up:

[DarknessOfDeath]

With Steven back at the helm in the forefront, I think he'll have no trouble sticking to the original formula that made the other films so great. Besides, he is in charge. Right?


and I think he knows whats best that us fans would look forward to seeing in this other great adventure with our fave hero, Indiana Jones. :) So Im glad to hear that this film is in good hands of Steven himself.

[Bishop2]

He is in charge, yes, but he also hasn't made a simple, fun adventure film in like a decade. And even when he tries to do a fun action sequence these days, like the alley fight or factory showdown in Minority Report, he fills it with loads of shakycam and washed-out grey tones, just like every movie he's made since Saving Private Ryan...

...so I'm a little concerned that the Spielberg of the Indy era might be dead forever.

Thank you! :up:

All the movies he has made in the last 10 years have been very serious (even more comedic ones like The Terminal and Catch Me If You Can were serious).

Can he be the Spielberg that once did Indy? I don't think so. He has changed, and we can see it in his movies that he does now :csad:

[DarknessOfDeath]

^^...oh... well Im glad I'm not too hyped about this film. I mean, I never had expectations wihen I went to see Pirates3 ( I stayed away from spoilers - I learned my lesson after being so spoiled for Star Wars Episode 2 and 3) and when I walked out of the theatre, I was impressed and I enjoyed it. So im doing the same again for Indy4. I don't wanna know anything except the part of who's in it for I am happy that Karen Allen is back.

The only two films I can't wait to see are Silk and Atonement (Keira is in both). I've heard great things about Atonement... and the other movie I can't wait to see is the Edge of Love with Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller.

So it should be an interesting year next...year. I hope. :)

That Calypso plotline was abolutely USELESS! All that build up, and she does what, TURNS INTO A STORM! WHAT! Lame :down The movie's corny humor just made some dumb plotholes at times, and the whole heart curse was way too confusing with how it worked.

And, here's the big thing, the cinematographer is Berg's favourite Janusz 'Murky' Kamiński, who worked on Schindler's List, The Lost World, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, AI, Minority Report Catch Me if You Can, The Terminal, and War of the Worlds.

The previous three movies were done by the veteran Douglas Slocombe

As much as I liked DMC, I agree with you.

I hated Calpyso. She was of no use. I found it hard to understand what she was saying most of the time. Her growing into a tall giant was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooooooooooooo ... cheesy and over the top and might I add, out of place? hmm hmm. I liked the Humor - well some of it but only the parts concerning the main characters when bridging the other two films to this one. lol "Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you tried to kill me and one of you succeeded." Will turns to face Liz lol. ha... I didn't like how James Norrington was shoved to the sidelines. I was hoping he'd be more of who he became in DMC hense why I liked him so much in the second one. He shouldn't have died. As for the main battle at the end, I wished all the pirate ships fired at the EITC Fleet. that would have been sweet to see but the malestrom was alright.

K I do admit, DMC is better than AWE, but its just I love the characterization of Elizabeth throughout the trilogy... hehe... :hyper:

Yeah, I wished we had more Norrington. His turn back to good seemed a tad forced.

A lot of the humor was good, but some of it wasn't. Example: I think Jones on the island in a bucket of water was stupid. I mean, his land curse is THAT easy to best?

... He wasn;t meant to set foot on the island until every ten years, but I guess during the Parlay scene, he had to hense him standing in the bucket of water.

[Spider-Fan]

... He wasn;t meant to set foot on the island until every ten years, but I guess during the Parlay scene, he had to hense him standing in the bucket of water.

It was a weak way to beat his curse. I mean, by that logic, Will could every now and then just let Elizabeth wheel him around. It opened up a plot hole.

[DarknessOfDeath]

... aren't we supposed to be talking about Indy's whip?

[Bishop2]

It was a weak way to beat his curse. I mean, by that logic, Will could every now and then just let Elizabeth wheel him around. It opened up a plot hole.

I got the impression that abandoning his job in the realm of the dead was what turned him into a freaky fish-man. So yeah, Will could come back to the real world, and maybe Elizabeth could just live on his boat with him for a while, or he could stand in a bucket while she goes down on him or something, but he'd probably be covered with tentacles and crab arms by the end of the week.

That is true about the mutation, but no less, the possibility of going on land in a bucket of water is stupid. I mean, you are still on land. I don't care what you are standing on.

[DarknessOfDeath]

Uh not sure if you guys saw the ending after the credits, but as for Will, the curse was broken because Keira er Elizabeth waited for him by staying faithful to her promise to him and once the curse was broken, she and he can live happily ever after.

[Bishop2]

That's not in the actual film though. In the film itself, he can only come back every 10 years. The idea that the curse would be broken by her faithfulness was only in the script, and was deleted somewhere along the line. :(

[DarknessOfDeath]

hmph...but did you see it?

Okay lets talk about Indy Jones for now...

Which Lady from the films did you enjoy most?


Karen Allen (raiders)

Screaming blonde Lady (Temple)

other blonde lady (Crusades)

[Bishop2]

hmph...but did you see it?

I did, yes. I wish it had the additional info in the film itself. As it is, it's kind of a sad scene because it's like, he's coming back for one day... just one.

Okay lets talk about Indy Jones for now...

Which Lady from the films did you enjoy most?


Karen Allen (raiders)

other blonde lady (Crusades)

I liked Karen Allen/Marion Ravenwood the most. Followed by Kate Capshaw/Willie Scott. And third, dead-ass-last place would easily be Alison Doody/Elisa Schneider/Nazi Whore, who doesn't have much to recommend her. I basically liked the first two.

I am gonna leave off Pirates 3 now...I end by saying I was disappointed, and expected much better than the bad movie they made.

[DarknessOfDeath]

whew.



I liked Karen and Kate...

I thought Kate was hilarious because she was screaming throughout the entire movie. lol Some women are so histerical (sp?)

[Bishop2]

The great thing about the girls in this series is that they all conform to stereotypes of 1930s & 40s films.

The tiny tomboy adventurer, the "gold-digger" girly-girl and the sinister seductress.

In fact, that might be ALL the women there were in films back then, or at least it seems that way looking back now. :oldrazz:

And the back-stabbing was effective. Not only was it a surprise, the audience and Indy had grown to care for her somewhat, so it hurt more to find she was a bad guy. Plus, in the babe stakes, it's really no contest.

You mean Kate. And, no, she's not!

Considering that she's married to Spielberg though, I suppose she could show up in the movie without anybody knowing it.

No she didn't. The idiot crossed the seal despite Indy telling her not to.

She had more brains than Willie Scott. She was a doctor. Willie was the dictionary definition of a ditsy air-head.

I'll reiterate. She turned into a horse-face.

[Golgo-13]

Of all the 3 Indy babes i think Kate's face has remained the closest to what it used to look like, so i say she's the most attractive, physical wise.

If Allison Doody walked by me in the street, i wouldn't even know who she was.

Seriously? She doesn't really look like she did in Temple of Doom. Karen Allen looks like an aged Karen Allen. The only reason you wouldn't recognize Allison Doody on the street is because she hasn't really done anything since The Last Crusade, so it's been almost 20 years since you've seen her in any context.

whilst i was joking (its a sexist joke I heard on telly) I think ...I think..its scientifically true that women are more susceptible to the signs of aging...something to do with a biological difference in the sexes. I could be wrong, but Im sure ive heard that somewhere....not that it matters.

I cant believe we live in a society that is prejudice against age...I mean WTF? thats like being prejudice against having two eyes! god I hate advertising/media. its kind of ironic im studying to be a graphic designer....actually, it isnt...ive grown to hate it:) but it seems to be the only way an artistic person who is crap at maths can make any money. what a world.

[Backdrifter]

kate has aged pretty gracefully if you ask me. i bet none of your wives will look half as good as she does when they are in their early 50's. i am amazed at how people can be so shallow. kate is gorgeous.

Doody hasn't done alot sicne TLC but neither as Kate since TOD. Everyone would recognise Doody if she actually still looked like Doody. As much as i love Allen, she looks the worst, aged. Kate still looks like Willie, just older.

Is is true. Sometime about us having more testosterone than woman.

[Penismightier]

If that picture is accurate, maybe she just had a horrible, horrible day when they did the interviews for the Indy DVDs.

[Mr. Socko]

None of the Indy girls have done much since Indy.

[Noir]

Did anyone notice in the set Vid Lucas was wearing a Han Shot First shirt?

[Mr. Socko]

Yep, good to see he does at least acknowledge the stupid decisions he's made.

[mclay18]

And, here's the big thing, the cinematographer is Berg's favourite Janusz 'Murky' Kamiński, who worked on Schindler's List, The Lost World, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, AI, Minority Report Catch Me if You Can, The Terminal, and War of the Worlds.

The previous three movies were done by the veteran Douglas Slocombe

Douglas Slocombe is around 90 years old, and I hear he is going blind -- I think Spielberg would've used him to maintain continuity had his health had been better. Then again, he probably kept Janusz on as to not destabilize their friendship. ;)

And not all of the Janusz-Spielberg collaborations use shakycam and desaturated footage -- "The Lost World" was pretty similar to Dean Cundey's work on "Jurassic Park" and "Amistad" looked pretty standard in terms of lighting and composition. Even "Munich" (which you forgot) looked pretty good at times, although it also suffered from the shakycam and desaturated approach Spielberg loves. I hope Spielberg doesn't alienate his fans by going the realistic and desaturated approach to Indy 4 -- we want the colorful, burnish red tone like the other three movies had!

I think it's high time Spielberg switch to a new cinematographer -- if he wants another Polish cinematographer, then either Dariusz Wolski or Slawomir Idziak would be a perfect replacement. Wolski in particular would be able to get the colorful Scope look down pat for Indy 4.

[Golgo-13]

If that picture is accurate, maybe she just had a horrible, horrible day when they did the interviews for the Indy DVDs.

She looks 'that' bad in the dvd interviews?

[Dr. Watson]

Is is true. Sometime about us having more testosterone than woman.

Or a little something...we call it menopause. In which the menstrual cycle stops and estrogen levels go down, causing (in some women) more signs of aging.

All of those ladies (cept maybe doody) are likely close or have gone through menopause. Hence the aging. Although IMO they still look pretty damn good. All hail the mighty Botox!

Indeed, that was kinda funny in its own way though. He's advertising something he obviously does not believe in - even when he revamped the scene in the 2004 version, Greedo still shoots first. :oldrazz:

Lots of word... crystal skulls, extraterrestrials, a scene at Area 51, a scene at a nuclear test site... and of course, the six potential titles that Lucasfilm registered as trademarks the other week.

It's debatable if he'll really be FIGHTING any aliens. They might not even show-up on-screen - or maybe they'll only show up for the climax. It's more that the crystal skulls some to be some kind of legacy they've left on our world and that's the focus. We don't even know if these aliens are possibly friendly.

Even though these are the most popular and most heavily supported leaks all over the web, I suppose it's also possible that maybe none of this will wind up being accurate. But I'd be surprised.

[Mr. Socko]

If they're going with anything Aliens, the ETs should only show up in the climax. Like the powers of the ark in Raiders.

The aliens idea sounds a little....strange. I've never heard of it. Does anyone have any links to any further information regarding this or any other Indy IV spoilers, you know, from an actual site? I'd like to see it in context.

It was created in one of script drafts. I guess you can download it from Daily Script website, though I'm not sure it's the one, which has aliens.

[GoldGoblin]

You mean Kate. And, no, she's not!

^
No,I meant her daughter Jessica Capshaw.I figured now that she is an adult she could get a part in this movie.

[Mr. Socko]

I bet Spielberg was bangin' all the Indy girls, none of them are real good actresses.

There's also no wonder why they haven't gotten work in the past 2 decades. Once Berg married Kate he flushed the others down the drain. They now have no director to screw thus eliminating all acting gig opportunities. Then that brings back the question; why is Karen Allen back in this one lol

[Catman]

I bet Spielberg was bangin' all the Indy girls

lol. No. Before Kate Capshaw, Spielberg, was married to Amy Irving. His first kid, Max, was with Irving.

I never really got into the Young Indiana Jones series.

[Spider-Vader]

I've never seen it. I might get it. I heard Lucas is really doing this for like schools. So they cans learn & have fun or whatever.

[Mr. Socko]

The show wasn't that good. I've only seen a few episodes. It's nothing like the movies, no searching for artifacts, no whip, no fedora, etc. It was just a lame show made to cash in on the real Indiana Jones name and the show flopped anyway.

[Bishop2]

It's nothing like the movies, no searching for artifacts, no whip, no fedora, etc.

Depends on which episodes you watch. Treasure of the Peacock's Eye was probably as close as the series came to emulating the movies - racing across the world in pursuit of a treasure, battling Germanic bad guys. He even swung from the whip in that one.

Most times, however, the show was more like watching a history lesson with minimal action of any kind. Admittedly. Your mileage on that may vary.

[Mr. Socko]

Sad thing is that I know I will shell out the cash to buy it too.

[Tempest19]

Truth be told I only saw TOTPE from the show. I thought it was pretty good, more of a good story really. Not much action though.

[sithgoblin]

I thought the series was pretty lame. The teenage Indy was such a wet blanket, he had none of the charisma and charm that Harrison and River had.

At least he had balls, unlike nancy boy Sean Patrick Flanery.

The guy playing Young Indy at age 16 was actually in his 30s. Now that was strange.

^
No searching for artifacts,then what was this show about?

It was basically about Indy encountering historical figures and going through important events. It's like the show a middle school History teacher plays when she hasn't prepared any lesson plans.

[Secret_Riddle]

Ive heard nothing but bad things about young indy actually...i think ill just watch the grand trilogy over and over instead :)

[Mr. Socko]

For anyone interested, you can watch an episode or two on youtube, but it's in quite a few parts. I have the link to a profile that has one is decent quality.

[Tempest19]

Talking about young characters, anybody ever catch the film Young Sherlock Holmes (pretty sure Spielberg produced it)?

[scifiwolf]

Most of the "Movie Brats" from the 70s have lost it. Coppola went off the deep end, Lucas lost it, and no one know what went wrong with DePalma. Must be old age. Scorsese and Spielberg are the only ones left who have any talent.

I've lost interest in Spielberg as a filmmaker. His obsession with washed-out imagery and shakycam sequences has bored the piss out of me ever since he FAILED to let go of it after making Saving Private Ryan. It worked for that movie. But it sure as hell didn't work for Catch Me If You Can or Minority Report. I can only pray that he's going to go back to what he once was, a truly entertaining filmmaker with a steady hand, now that he's returning to a franchise he made when he was really doing fun things.

[Spider-Fan]

I think Spielberg is still one of the best directors, and though The Terminal and War of the Worlds were lousy, his other films since SPR were good to great (unless The Lost World was post SPR).

My problem is that he has changed filmmaking style, and Indy was more like the Spielberg of old, not the one doing films today. I just am not convinced he can get that old groove back, and make Indy great again.

As people in this thread know, I am not very optimistic about Indy 4.

[sithgoblin]

War of the Worlds was brilliant in parts. That sequence where the Tripod first appears was amazing. It did lose its focus once Tim Robbins was introduced though, and the ending was the biggest cop out ever (I mean the son being alive, not how the aliens were defeated).

How the aliens are defeated IS one of the biggest copouts ever, though. It's just that it happens to be a classic copout dating back over a century to the original novel. Doesn't change the fact that historically speaking, it's one of the largest, most impressive copouts in literature!

How is it a copout? It makes perfect sense and has actually happened in human history, with the Spanish conquest of South America. A big part of the reason the native South Americans were defeated is because of the diseases the Spaniards brought with them.

Pretty good is somehow a failure in most people's eyes when it comes to someone who has the filmography Spielberg has. Of course, that's usually from the people who have no idea how hard it is to make a movie, let alone a good movie.

Well, Scorsese isn't nearly what he use to be. Now he's obsessed with putting DiCaprio in all his movies. DiCaprio is a fine actor, but in certain roles. He isn't the badass Scorsese things he is. He was one of the bad parts about Gangs of New York, which BTW should have been a much better film. The Aviator was good, but DiCaprio was NO Howard Hughes...not even close. That movie could have been better too, plus having someone that actually resembled Hughes would have been even better.

But I agree about Coppolla, Lucas, and DePalma. Hell, what was Copolla's last good movie? Hard to look at his current resume and imagine this was the same guy who brought up all the brilliant films like Godfather I and II, The Conversation, and Apocalypse now.

As far as Spielberg, whoever said he's obsessed with the washed out shaky-cam look is way overexaggerating. Catch Me If You Can was hardly washed out as was War of the Worlds. The man is still a genius, albeit not as great as he was. We'll never see him operate at the same level as he did when he made Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, and Raiders. That was the golden age of Spielberg.

Not a single person in Aviator looked like their counterpart. There are few actors who look pretty close to Hughes but the movie would've suffered for it.

Can't believe what Rob has become...

[Bishop2]

As far as Spielberg, whoever said he's obsessed with the washed out shaky-cam look is way overexaggerating. Catch Me If You Can was hardly washed out as was War of the Worlds.

They both were incredibly washed-out to me, especially compared to how vibrant his older films looked pre-SPR. Even The Lost World and Amistad, both done using the same cinematrography, are just thriving with color in comparison. But I will concede that those two (CMIYC and WotW) do not use as much ill-advised shakycam.

The great thing about Spielberg is that he does so much that there's ALWAYS a certain aspect of his career that's doing awesome. Let us not forget that he IS the owner of DreamWorks. That studio has released some great movies these past few years. And Spielberg is STILL a top producer. He produced this summer's Transformers for crying out loud.

[sithgoblin]

Don't write off Coppola yet. Youth Without Youth is looking like an interesting comeback.

[Carmine Falcone]

Well, Scorsese isn't nearly what he use to be.

The Departed.

[Bishop2]

The Departed.

Speaking personally, I thought it was fairly weak when compared to his earlier "gangster" films.

[Fried Gold]

Speaking personally, I thought it was fairly weak when compared to his earlier "gangster" films.Not to mention the fact that Infernal Affairs was infinitely better.

[AndThePickles]

I'm so apprehensive about this movie.

[Mr. Socko]

Dracula in 1992.



What was Lucas's last great movie he directed? Star Wars in 1977:oldrazz:

Episode III was good IMO, he's a good producer besides a few misses like Howard The Duck

[Carmine Falcone]

Speaking personally, I thought it was fairly weak when compared to his earlier "gangster" films.

I personally think that it's his second best movie, and by FAR the best gangstermovie that has been released in the past 10 years. They almost don't make 'em as good as this anymore... nobody does it better than Marty.

Which would you say is his #1?

[Advanced Dark]

I loved Goodfella's and After Hours. Two of my favorite films from Martin.

[Carmine Falcone]

Which would you say is his #1?

Goodfellas, I never get tired of it.

[Advanced Dark]

^ I think After Hours is the film of his I've seen the most. I must have watched it 50 times or more. It's probably the best "dark comedy" ever made. It's just unrelenting.

[Penismightier]

The Departed is easily in his top 5, which is saying something with Marty. I still think Taxi Driver is the best thing he's ever done.

[GhostPoet]

War of the Worlds is one of my favorite films...I liked how it centered around a family during the attack.

[Mr. Socko]

I never really did like Taxi Driver much. My three favorite Scorsese movies are Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and the Departed in that order.


As for Spielberg, War of the Worlds is alright, but I think Close Encounters is better. It's so underrated. But his best film is...you guessed it, Raiders of the Lost Ark :D

[Catman]

What was Lucas's last great movie he directed? Star Wars in 1977:oldrazz:

On paper...yes. In reality it was Return of the Jedi in `83 :o

After Hours.

His most underrated movie.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

The Departed.

Granted it was good, but that's one movie, and it isn't nowhere near as good as Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, or Raging Bull IMO. I just think he should have knocked Gangs of New York out of the park, but he didn't. I almost think his younger self could have. And as Fried Gold put it, Infernal Affairs was a much better movie. They both were incredibly washed-out to me, especially compared to how vibrant his older films looked pre-SPR. Even The Lost World and Amistad, both done using the same cinematrography, are just thriving with color in comparison. But I will concede that those two (CMIYC and WotW) do not use as much ill-advised shakycam.I don't remember it being washed out. Maybe it was muted, which we see in a lot of movies of recent. All part of this gritty realism streak we are seeing post 20th Century. It's been a little while since I've seen it though. The great thing about Spielberg is that he does so much that there's ALWAYS a certain aspect of his career that's doing awesome. Let us not forget that he IS the owner of DreamWorks. That studio has released some great movies these past few years. And Spielberg is STILL a top producer. He produced this summer's Transformers for crying out loud.Although I haven't seen TF, I agree with you. Just when we think he's out of the game, he bounces back with something. He's grown and matured, and definitely making different types of movies than he use to. I admit I love the Golden Age of Spielberg a lot more than the current age, but I still think he's a top tier filmmaker. Hopefully Indy 4 will be a return to the childlike wonder of his 70s and 80s movies.

I wonder why it's not considered a classic?
Raiders<Crusade

[Mr. Socko]

You wonder what isn't considered a classic? Raiders? Because it sure as hell is.

[Spider-Vader]

No Close Encounters.

[Bishop2]

Raiders<Crusade

Raiders > Temple > Crusade

Crusade is the weakest for me because of how it takes the ultimate badass Indiana Jones and makes him the butt of an endless series of jokes. He's "Junior" now, he's named after the dog, he bickets like a 10-year-old with his father. We get scenes like the one where they're tied up in front of the fireplace in the castle, yelling "DAD!WHAT!DAD!WHAT!" for "comedic" purposes. It's sad. Even his new costume worn in half the movie - an illogical combination of leather jacket and black tie - belies the fact that he's now a figure to be mocked instead of one that inspires awe.

Despite all of that, it's still a damn good adventure. But Indy is no longer treated as the iconic figure he once was, it has the weakest of the female leads, and it's not like there's anything in the action sequences that compares to the truck chase in the first or even the mine car sequence in the second.

[chaseter]

Temple>Crusade>Raiders (God I hate that little Asian kid)

[DieSmiling]

1. Temple of Doom
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark

3. Last Crusade (easily the weakest in my opinion)

[Speedball]

Crusade is my Favorite.:cmad: :cmad:

[Noir]

Raiders
Temple = Crusade.

I like em both equally.

Temple has a man getting his heart riped out.
Crusade has Connery.

[Speedball]

For me it's Crusade, Raiders, then Temple.
I find the woman in Crusade more attractive and intriguing, and it has Connery killing a guy with birds.
I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I LOVE The Last Crusade.

[Carmine Falcone]

Agreed.

[Jimothy]

I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I LOVE The Last Crusade.Same here.

[FaT_tONle]

Crusade is one of my favorites too... true it took some of the badass element away from Indy... but it still had some elements... noticing the camera on the doors when they went in to pick up Jones Sr... the motor cycle chase. Taking on the tanks on horseback... not as gritty as its predecesors but certainly not campy either

[Advanced Dark]

Just got this bulletin on myspace:

It takes so little to make me happy really. Write the words "Indiana Jones Returns!" for instance on a press kit that reveals absolutely nothing new and I'm still as giddy as Mola Ram after he's pulled a heart out of a Thuggee follower.
This morning we did in fact receive a new press kit hyping the return of Indiana Jones next summer. Nope, there's no title that's been revealed. No new photos of Shia or Cate Blanchett in character. Really, not much of anything besides some a spiffy illustration of Dr. Jones on horseback, the aforementioned "Indiana Jones Returns!" announcement on the backcover, and a few puzzles and trivia questions. What do you want anyway? The movie is still eight months away!

[Mr. Socko]

I think this movie is going to be big. Everyone is saying no one cares about it because Indy is old but you'll see :D

[Advanced Dark]

^ I agree. Indy is one of the best characters ever to hit the screen. He's not a superhero. At his age he can easily play the character and he still looks damn good to me.

[aaron]

i think it'll make about $800 mil worldwide

[Advanced Dark]

i think it'll make about $800 mil worldwide

I'd say 300-350 domestic. International 500+

[aaron]

hmm it's gonna make more than 150 mil everywhere cept for the us

i could imagine this having healthy box office for a few months

[Kevin Roegele]

i think it'll make about $800 mil worldwide

$600m maybe.

[Mr. Socko]

I'm gonna say at least $600 WW.

Is that Dave Dorman or Drew Struzan's work? I don't see a signature.

[GoldGoblin]

I can't believe this movie is finally gonna come out soon.

[dark_b]

the funny thing about this movie is that it will not bomb.

come on its spielberg.

spielberg will maybe make a bomb in 30 years. but not this year.

nah, not that much.
my bet is over 500 million...worldwide.

[The Kid]

Crusade is my Favorite.:cmad: :cmad:

crusade's only good for the young indy parts and some good bits during the end. Otherwise spielberg was in 1941 mode for the rest. Pretty but hollow.
