Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[sithgoblin]

I didn't think they were terrible. They just focused on the history part more then the adventure part. It was really just a history lesson featuring Indiana Jones. It was an educational tv show. i give it props for that.

But they didn't feature Indiana Jones. I can't remember the little kid, but Indy as a tennager was the biggest wet blanket ever! He always looked like he was on the verge of tears, and he looked REALLY stupid in that hat. He was a sooky little b**ch. :cmad:

[Gallagher]

Actually Indy appears in one episode :up: :woot:

[sithgoblin]

Actually Indy appears in one episode :up: :woot:

Even that was lame. :csad: It was the high point of the series... but it just goes to show, Jones without Spielberg isn't Jones.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcwEIs5_z7E <--- cringe!

[Gallagher]

Very true.

[Mladen]

Please. The movie needs to open somewhere where this a mountain of some sort that resembles the Paramount logo. I can't see that being in the warehouse.

a mountain of crates then, jeez.

Indiana Jones stays old school


Is your local theater still doing things the old-fashioned way, and hasn't converted to digital projection yet? Don't sweat it, you'll still be able to catch INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL when it hits in a few months.
In fact, that's the only way you'll be able to see the whip-smart relic collector, per orders of The Beard himself.

Indy's cousin 'Ohio Munson' tells us Paramount is informing theaters that per Steven Spieberg, INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL will NOT be available in digital format. The studio is requesting that complexes who can't project 35mm format let them know.

There you have it. Our favorite scrappy part-time professor (who, sadly, is named after the dog) prefers to remain firmly in the 20th century for now.

I wonder if Lucas lost an arm wrestling match or something. Or maybe Speilberg's demon level class of Hollywood influence is higher than Lucas'.

[Gallagher]

This has potential to be very bad news :dry:

[DoctorJones]

We all know Spielberg still edits on actual film.

[Watson]

This has potential to be very bad news :dry:

Why would it matter if it was in digital or not? Most of the theatres in my area are primarily film still, so it's no real difference.

[Ghostrider87]

I saw the teaser for it. It looks excellent. There was a person actually saying stinker. I guess they can say they want but then will be shut up when it debuts.

[DocHoliday]

I think Mac might be a very badass character.

[CorpusBlack]

I didn't think they were terrible. They just focused on the history part more then the adventure part. It was really just a history lesson featuring Indiana Jones. It was an educational tv show. i give it props for that.

Agreed. :up:

[cerealkiller182]

Ray Wisntone is always badass

[DocHoliday]

Ray Wisntone is always badass

True enough.

[FaT_tONle]

i dont remember a dracula either

I was referring to this one:



Evil of a more enduring kind awaits him in Transylvania where he engages in mortal combat with bloodthirsty Vlad the Impaler and his horrific army of the living dead. With his very life at stake, Indy must garner all his strength and wits in order to defeat the fiend and save mankind.

[Kevin Roegele]

Ray Wisntone is always badass

Except in King Arthur. :o

[DoctorJones]

I like Winstone in everything, and I'd like Mac to not be a baddie, I mean, a bit greedy being his flaw, but not make him be a traitor or anything.

I guess Lucas was right: I have my own movie in my head!

[cerealkiller182]

Except in King Arthur. :o

Just cause the movie sucked doesnt mean he wasnt badass

Here's my attempt at translating some of the text.

2nd pic, with Marion: Basically just explaining the last time we saw Indy, In Holy Grail.

3rd pic: The main quote from speilberg roughly translates to "I didn't want to make Indy too old or it would be past costumes, make up, etc" There are some words I don't understnad. The suronding text discusses I think what they will encounter in the jungle (skeletons, home of a conquistador).

4th pic: In Indiana Jones KotCS (2008): She works for the soviets during the Cold War, is the first female Indy villian, She does not like Americans (mainly a certain archaelogist), she likes her square style haircut and military clothes, and she is clearly an Ice queen.

'Indiana Jones' to debut at Cannes?

Wednesday, February 27 2008, 22:56 GMT
By Simon Reynolds (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a90358/indiana-jones-to-debut-at-cannes.html#)
http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/07/37/160x120_new_indiana_jones_logo.jpg
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may have its world premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival, reports Fox News.

Director Steven Spielberg is negotiating with organisers to bring his eagerly awaited sequel to the prestigious French festival.

Spielberg, along with producer George Lucas and actors Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf and Karen Allen may walk the red carpet should the film play at the festival.

The event would be similar to last year's Cannes debut of Ocean's Thirteen when George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon met fans and posed for pictures on the red carpet.

The Cannes premiere would take place prior to the film's theatrical release on May 22. This year's festival runs from May 14-25.

The Doom Dispatch: Indiana Jones And The Broken Hip

Posted by Dr. Royce Clemens | February 27th, 2008 at 6:48 am | Trackback

*The opinions expressed by Dr. Royce Clemens in his Doom Dispatch column do not necessarily reflect the views of Geeks of Doom.

This is the first piece in my series of op-ed columns*, and I was supposed to cover Sunday night’s Oscars. But watching it, attempting to take notes and watching deserving nominee after deserving nominee actually win free of politics or social pressure, something occurred to me.

It’s no fun recapping a fair fight. So I figure I’ll write about what I was gonna write about next week.


I don’t think there’s anyone who goes to a site called “Geeks of Doom” who hasn’t already seen the much hyped and awaited trailer for Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (which is just one word and three syllables away from The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford). Already this two minutes of celluloid is about as analyzed in these innarweb circles as the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination. “Why are there sounds of guns cocking when there aren’t any on screen?”

It feels great, don’t it? That warm February kernel of summer hype? Just knowing that in a few months it’s going to be hot outside, there will be no snow, the sun will be out, the kids will be out of school, and it’ll be acceptable to blow **** up and waste hundreds of millions of dollars in a theater again, without shameless Oscar mugging.

And how does this usually end, boys and girls?

Yup. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull … is probably gonna suck.

Oh, stop. Don’t look at me like I just shot your dog. It will. This happens every year. We’re cool through the spring and how do we come out at the end of the summer? “THAT MOVIE RAPED MY CHILDHOOD!”

Well here is your self-defense guide. First off, yell “Fire!” Not “Rape!” ‘Cause no one comes when you yell “Rape!”

And second, take these things into account. A stitch on Hollywood will save nine on you.

Commies Don’t Make Good Villains: It’s been twenty years since The Last Crusade, and director Steven Spielberg has decided to allow for the passage of time. This means Indy is fighting the Soviets as opposed to the Nazis. Now if Indy were fighting Stalin? Maybe that would work. He did, after all, kill forty million of his own people. But what did Kruschev do, besides bang his shoe on a table? And which of these sentences sounds scarier?

“We’re going to steal the Ark of the Covenant to take to our Fuhrer, so he can set up the Aryan Nation as the true master race of Earth.”

Or…

“We’re going to steal the Ark of the Covenant… And share it with everyone. You got any toilet paper?”

The Cate Blanchett Equation: Now I’m not going to be a dick and say Cate Blanchett is a bad actress. She’s not. She’s amazing. But this is her first big-budget crowd pleaser. Is she gonna know how to handle this? Or is she gonna go down the Julianne Moore road and emote herself into the ground? Meryl Streep JUST figured out how to handle this with The Devil Wears Prada after a long and illustrious career. I don’t need to bring up the spectre of She-Devil, do I? DO I?

Shia Leboeuf: Did I spell that right? Do I really care? Ain’t no one ever shelled out a nickel to see that little **** on screen. They all paid to see the hot chicks and the big talking cars standing NEXT to him.

A Chance Of Relapse: Steven Spielberg has been on the biggest tear of his entire life. Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, and The Terminal were all great movies, and Munich, in my opinion, is his best work ever. He showed a maturity and a lack of sentimentality with that one I haven’t seen before. He worked without a net. He was a Spielberg possessed. So for the sake of all the great movies that the man has ahead of him, do we REALLY want to see him take a step backwards? Give this one to Joe Johnston. No one gives a **** about HIM! Like recovering alcoholics, it only takes one drink to fall off the wagon. I just can’t stand to think that this will lead to other movies that were as crummy as The Lost World or War Of The Worlds. Which, oddly enough, were written by…

David Koepp: David Koepp can work wonders when he’s writing for himself. Just watch Carlito’s Way and Stir Of Echoes if you don’t believe me. But when he’s in hired gun mode, you get movies like, well, The Lost World and War Of The Worlds … And Panic Room … and Death Becomes Her and The Shadow and that Godawful Snake Eyes… Need I say more?

High On Money, Short On Charm: When Raiders Of The Lost Ark came out in 1981, it was a playful riff on those old Saturday morning serials that came out in the thirties and forties. It was charming in addition to thrilling because all the special effects had rough edges around them. It wasn’t Star Wars, for Christ’s sake. It relied on charisma and actual honest-to-God storytelling.

So does a CGI-ridden Indiana Jones picture really sound like a good idea? It’s gonna be like that new ECW: It’s alright… But it’s just not the SAME.

The State Of Indiana Is Old And Gray: Did you see the Barbara Walters special before the Oscars when she interviewed Harrison Ford? She said “Oh he hasn’t aged a day!” That’s because Barbara Walters is a professional kiss-ass. Harrison Ford has aged a day. He’s aged a ****-load of days. I’m sure anyone who has seen Firewall (yes, all four of you) knows full-well the extent to which Harrison Ford has gone from “GET OFF MY PLANE!” to “GET OFF MY LAWN!” in the span of ten years. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not decomposing like Scott Glenn is, but it’s high time he sat on the “Ancient Character Actor” shelf right next to Peter Falk.

Obey The Beard!: George Lucas is the executive producer.

Did you perhaps go into a fit after reading that? Didn’t get the full blow of what this means? Well allow me to repeat…

GEORGE LUCAS IS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER!

And… And we’re expecting this to be good? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR ****ING MINDS?

Have two-and-a-half of the last three Star Wars movies taught us nothing? George Lucas hates you. He hates you, and he wants your money. And he’s gonna use that money to do one thing.

Purchase mainland China.

He and M. Night Shyamalan and Michael Bay are gonna use their ill-gotten cash to purchase mainland China. They are going to use that to form the headquarters for their Axis of Evil and make their bid for world domination. Are you happy with the fact that Casablanca is in black and white? That City Lights is silent? That No Country For Old Men doesn’t have a score? Well, NOT ANYMORE, ****-STICK! Everything will be in digital color, with dewback lizards wandering in the background for no apparent reason. THX will change the expressions on the actors’ faces JUST BECAUSE! And all films will be hooked up to the John Williams-Bot, and have scores that will tell us how to feel and react. History is written by the winners, and we have voted with our wallets to give George Lucas a huge bucket of White-Out.

And only one man will be able to stop him. And that man is Martin Scorsese. He and his trusty sidekick Spike Jonze will venture into China and stab at the heart of this corruption in its dangerous lair. And thus life shall imitate art in the bloodiest and, frankly, the most retarded way possible.

I’m not here to rain on anyone’s parade. And I’d like to believe that I will be proven wrong come this May. But I’m keeping my expectations low and tempered, as should we all. Remember two things:

-Blind faith is what made Jonestown happen.

-And geeks used to bite the heads off of chickens.

No digital Indy 4? (http://joblo.com/no-digital-indy-4)

Is your local theater still doing things the old-fashioned way, and hasn't converted to digital projection yet? Don't sweat it, you'll still be able to catch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when it hits in a few months.

In fact, that's the only way you'll be able to see the whip-smart relic collector, per orders of The Beard himself.

Indy's cousin 'Ohio Munson' tells us Paramount is informing theaters that per Steven Spieberg, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will NOT be available in digital format. The studio is requesting that complexes who can't project 35mm format let them know.

There you have it. Our favorite scrappy part-time professor (who, sadly, is named after the dog) prefers to remain firmly in the 20th century for now.

UPDATE: This has since been supported by another source, with the caveat of "unless Spielberg has a last minute change of heart"... likely meaning if sticking with analog has a significant impact on potential business (which seems improbable, since many theaters still have standard projectors on hand, and people will go wherever necessary to see the flick anyway).

[theShape]

Well, he does make a few good points until the extremely unfunny ending...

[Jack Napier]

I...cannot comprehend how anyone is pessimistic about this movie. It's Indiana f***ing JONES. They make how many sequels to "Saw", and where's this guy when that happens? Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford are 3/3 with these movies, and if anyone even doubts they'll have a fun time at the movies, to hell with 'em.

[turtlefocker]

Well, he does make a few good points until the extremely unfunny ending...


yea if he had of left out that 'purchase china' thing it would have had much more impact. The last few paragraphs are pure bull****.

I don't go to a digital cinema so I'm still all set.

[cerealkiller182]

Big deal about digital! I love film imperfections especially in movies like these.

[DoctorJones]

I guess you agree with Spielberg then. I mean there was only going to be one more movie, there wasn't going to be a point in establishing a new style for a new trilogy like Star Wars did.

[Cagefighterkip]

Ray Wisntone is always badass

the guy from "Gay-o-wulf"? Really? Huh.

well they need to make the footage digital so that they can import it on the computers at ILM. how else would you add the effects?

not gay as in *** or anything, but more gay as in silly. honestly beowulf sucked...

[DoctorJones]

And I thought Beowulf was awesome, but that's not what this thread is about.

Back on topic, for now, Indy not appearing in digital theatres is a JoBlo rumour. But again, it won't matter as most theatres do use film projectors.

[KALEL114]

It's not that big of a surprise. Spielberg always uses 35mm. It's the only way any Indy movie should be made. IMO.

I haven't really been too impressed with the digital projectors in my theater anyway. I think they make the movies too dark at times.

Yeah, that's my problem with it. I remember I seen Superman Returns at a theater with a digital projector and during the night flying scenes you just seen the little lights from the city and sometimes his cape, other than that it was pitch dark.

[Spider-Vader]

Went to see Spiderwick last night and the trailer was shown. Some of the more little ones were asking their parents, "who's that, Dad/Mom? That looks COOL!" Haha.
Excellent. Their minds are already being controlled. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

prolly just a couple; i could get behind a "im too old for this s#!t" kind of joke I.E. lethal weapon
Watch Indy say that & then for absolutely no reason Glover walks out of nowhere & b*itch slaps Indy.
I saw the teaser for it. It looks excellent. There was a person actually saying stinker. I guess they can say they want but then will be shut up when it debuts.

Whoever said it'll be a 'stinker' is either a:
A. A f**got
B. Someone who does not know quality film
C. An angry Batman fanboy (Not bashing Batman, I look forward to TDK)
or
D. A n00b

[DoctorJones]

Excellent. Their minds are already being controlled. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!


I know, it's cute isn't it? But I always felt like Indy had never been away. If you liked Star Wars, then you knew about Lucas' other 1930s serial pastiche. Not to mention all the comics and video games, although those had stopped by 2003.

Hopefully, 2008 will revive the franchise forever!

That's how it looked in all theaters. Singer tinted the entire print darker.

Sony released their original FX shots and the color was amazing. They are somewhere in the Superman forums and maybe still at the Sony Imageworks site. It's a mystery why he darkened the film.

I loved Sex & the City, so I can't wait for the movie.

Coming Soon Main Page Poll

If "Indiana Jones 4" is successful, would you want an "Indiana Jones 5"?
Yes. 34.0%
Not sure yet. 24.0%
No. 19.8%
Have Shia LaBeouf continue the franchise 11.8%
Ford should have hung up the whip years ago. 5.4%
Why not make even more? 5.0%

Total votes: 6082


I voted Yes. Only if they can get it filmed within the next two years. There was supposed to be 5 Indy films originally so it would nice if that could actually work out. A Beowulf type film shot with motion capture would be cool to see set in the 40s when Indy was younger but visually would be such a departure from the other four but it would be a way to have Ford play a younger character.

[DoctorJones]

I think a fifth Indy film will go the way of the seventh, eighth and ninth Star Wars films: it ain't gonna happen.

I'm happy with Kingdom as Ford's swansong. He made 2008 the ultimatum for the project.

True but if the film is a huge success, beyond what they're expecting there are deals in place to bring Ford and Shia back. Wouldn't surprise me, its Hollywood.

[DoctorJones]

LaBeouf indicated a Mutt spin-off is only a rumour. Spielberg, Marshall and Kennedy have also indicated this is a swansong. The franchise will continue with video games, toys, comics and novels, like Star Wars. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to have a cartoon too.

Maybe someone will announce a reboot in twenty years time. Watching the fan blood boil will be fun.

There's going to a box set with Kingdom, so I might wait for the Blu-ray release. Also, these special features sound fluffy compared to the 2003 documentaries.

These appear to be the new features. The cover is attractive but unless you wear it around your neck no one is going to see it tucked away with your DVDs. Plus its the content that is worth buying.

I will wait until Crystal Skull is on DVD and Lucas releases all four parts in a huge uber multiple disc edition and a shiny case. I know how he works, I won't be fooled by his douple and tripling dipping again.

My comment on an Indy 5...HELL TO THE NO!!!

I already hate the idea of Indy 4. This movie will no doubt be a huge BO smash (though I heavily question how much I will really enjoy this). Even if I am blown away by this, please stop! Is it too much to ask to have the series end on a high note, not a dilluted note (like 4 I think will be or a 5)?

I never liked Indy's face on the Raiders poster, he looks like John Travolta.

Here's a tidbit from Yahoo! about the popularity of the trailer...


New 'Indiana Jones' trailer is smash hit
By REGINA R. ROBERTSON, For The Associated Press
Sun Mar 2, 5:11 PM ET


LOS ANGELES - Times sure have changed in the 19 years since Harrison Ford last donned the signature fedora of thrill-seeking archaeologist Indiana Jones. The viral spread of the trailer for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is proof of that.

The trailer for the May 22 release has drawn highly enthusiastic responses in theaters. But it may have had its biggest impact online, on a younger audience that may not think of Ford, 65, as equal to today's spry action heroes.

After premiering Feb. 14 on "Good Morning America," Lucasfilm and Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures sent the trailer to the Web, plus movie theaters and TV stations around the world. Paramount estimates the trailer was seen more than 200 million times worldwide in the first week alone.

Harry Knowles, who runs the movie fan site AintItCool.com (his official title is Head Geek), says he first saw a bootleg version of the trailer online, then the official version online, and then saw it twice in theaters.

There were cheers in the theater when the familiar theme song kicked in, Knowles said, and comments on his Web site have been positive. "People generally really, really loved the trailer," he said. "Some people think it's a little more cartoonish-looking compared to the prior (films), with him whipping the lights and swinging on them and stuff. But at the same time, it seems that everyone is extremely excited that there's a new 'Indiana Jones' film. The excitement for it is palpable. It's much more aggressively anticipated than anything else that's coming out right now."

"The trailer caught on like wildfire, around the world, in all mediums," said Gerry Rich, Paramount's president of worldwide marketing, who's targeting moviegoers "from 8 to 80. The response has been sensational and it shows what technology can do when you have material that is so appealing to audiences."

Older audiences certainly remember Indy, but that's not the prime ticket-buying demographic. Thus the aggressive online campaign, which included what Paramount says is a record 4.1 million views on the Yahoo movie site in the first week and 2.6 million on the official IndianaJones.com site, the most ever for the studio.

"It looks to be THE highly anticipated movie of the summer," said Mark Mazrimas, marketing manager for independent theater chain Classic Cinemas. However, "this hasn't been on the screen for so long, (the challenge) is capturing the youth."

The brainchild of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, the franchise kicked off with "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981, followed by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" three summers later. "The Last Crusade" was released in 1989, boosting the worldwide box office total to $1.2 billion.

Now, with the buzz sparked, Rich — who declined to make opening weekend predictions — just wants to keep fans' attention: "The (only) negative comment from people was that they have to wait until May to see the movie."

[Jack Napier]

Spider-Fan, I know you're going to say that your love for "Spider-Man 3" has nothing to do with this, but in a way it does. I consider every film Spielberg has done better than "Spider-Man 3", so I don't know what you're talking about when you say he's in a slump. Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford did not have to make Indy 4, but everyone wants to see it. If you're saying they are doing it for money, you're right, but not exactly. Every movie is made to make money, so is that not an added bonus that they'll enjoy making something that will make money? To finalize, I'll just say this...


Indy 4 trailer > Spider-Man 3

Indy 4 > Spider-Man 3 x 10

I haven't seen the film yet, of course, but I buy Ford as more of an ass kicker at 66 than I do Tobey Maguire at any age, that's for damn sure.

Better look at the crystal skull here. It's such a beautifully creepy design.

[Nirvana]

I have to admit that Spielberg's movies post 1997 haven't been as great as his other efforts (with the exception of Munich and Minority Report), but all his films are extremely damn good and all his films are pretty high quality. I expect Indy 4 to blow us all away.

Boo to all you Indy/Ford haters :down

The action figures look cool, too

oh ok --
me: i aint worried. its spielberg, lucas came up w/the story YEARS AGO and his hands are no where near writing the script. the great david Koep (jurrasic park 1 and 2, M:I, spidey) is behind it... i dig shi but i can respect that you dont.

the only thing i 100% disagree w/is sequels taking so long. ROCKY BALBOA pwnd. RAMBO pwnd. LForDIE HARD pwnd. And if you wanna get technical, SUPERMAN RETURNS pwnd. Just sayin...

I hate to repeat myself but it seems he lost that sense of wonder after Jurassic Park. Now everything is personal for him. It's like Zemeckis and going overboard with the animation

[cerealkiller182]

He didnt lose his sense of wonder, hes just been doing different films. I see no reason why he cant go back.

[terry78]

The Spielberg of E.T. and the Spielberg of Munich are the same, yet they aren't. Tim Burton occasionally goes off the beaten path, but his style hasn't changed since Pee-Wee.

I have to agree here, that is not to say that these films are bad at all, far from it (Minority Report was genius!) it's just you can see the difference. He seems more grounded. Again, I love Spielberg, but you can see the difference.

My ultimate outlook, however, is that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will bring him back to his old feel.

Nothing will ever top Indy being turned into a thugee for me. But yeah, Kingdom will have some good scares, I really want this atmosphere of Indy realising he doesn't know everything about human history.

War of the Worlds, The Terminal, The Lost World: Jurassic Park

All 3 came out during/post 1997...all sucked...I rest my case :o

War of the Worlds and The Terminal were both critically acclaimed movies.

The Lost Worlds also had its merits, but didn't come together due to circumstances that Spielberg is very open with.

He has said many times that Indy 4 is a labour of love.

I love Terminal. It's one of my favorite "feel good" movies

The Lost World is fun to watch, even if it can't hold jurassic park's jock

War of the Worlds is my favorite aliens try to kill us movie, because a lot of the destruction felt so real, and the cynical nature of it (in terms of people doing some ****ed up things, like steal their car) made me like it even more.

I think we also need to remember that Speilberg has been involved in projects that have been fantastic over the last 10 years, just not as a director. He was producer for Transformers, Band of Brothers, Letters from Iwo Jiwa, Legends of Zorro, and lots more.

Plus some great ones he directed in the last 10 years aren't even being mentioned. Catch me if you can was an immensely fun movie, and I really loved AI despite some ill feelings toward it.

Wow, you are so unique! :wow: :oldrazz:

[The Chris]

Wow, you are so unique! :wow: :oldrazz:

I'm not trying to sound cocky or an a-hole or anything, but in my school it seems that every student wants to just do abstract film and not want to try audience friendly narrative work, with out even realizing that the narrative stuff is HARDER, because it gives people more to expect. In school, someone can shoot a staircase, put a color on it, and then say it's abstract, and everyone will kiss their ass, but narrative is much harder to accomplish and not all my fellow peeps get that. They love David Lynch (which is not a bad thing, I do too) because of his abstract artist nature, but critique Spielberg for "not having a unique enough style" It's pretty annoying.

[Carmine Falcone]

I think we also need to remember that Speilberg has been involved in projects that have been fantastic over the last 10 years, just not as a director. He was producer for Transformers, Band of Brothers, Letters from Iwo Jiwa, Legends of Zorro, and lots more.

Very true, Spielberg has more fingers in more pies than a leper at a cookery course.

Sorry, finally got the chance to use that quote.

I'm taking it they've never seen Jaws? Or Duel, for that matter. :whatever:

What's crazy about that was when I was taking film classes, it was the early 90s and everyone I went to school with had grown up with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and ET and everyone wanted to be like Lucas or Spielberg.

Sure, we loved the abstract stuff too...but their stuff was just why we started taking film classes in the first place.

Uwe Boll Takes on Indiana Jones
Posted by Patrick on 03/04 at 07:00 PM

There are two things that you have to give notorious video game movie director Uwe Boll and those are that he’s got balls and that he’s a marketing genius. He’s always stepped up to be interviewed by his critics; last year he challenged several online opponents to a boxing match that he won. And now he’s pulling out the big guns (scratch that, make it a big whip) by announcing that his latest video game movie, Postal, is going to be the only challenger opening up against Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indy 4 opens worldwide on Thursday, May 22; Postal opens on Friday, May 23.

“On the Indiana Jones weekend - May 23 - we will go out and destroy Indiana Jones in the box office!” the German director of House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark and In the Name of the King told the MovieSet website. “We all know that Harrison Ford is older then my grandpa and his time is up – as Michael Moore would say!”


The dude didn’t stop there. “It’s also a duel of two directors,” Boll added. “Spielberg gets sloppy. We saw that with War of the Worlds and also in parts of Jaws, E.T. and Munich. My cameo in as a Nazi Theme Park Owner easily outdoes Ben Kingsley performance in Schindler’s List!”
The crazy thing is that Boll’s Postal actually got an positive early review (http://twitchfilm.net/archives/009894.html) last July. Is this going to be the movie that breaks the Boll’s losing track record?


Seriously ...wtf

[cerealkiller182]

Seeing as theres plenty of people who wont see Postal for the sole purpose that Uwe Bolls name is on it and there is an equal if not bigger amount ofpeople who will see Indiana Jones just because Spielberg and Ford's names are on it, I dont see Postal beating Indy.

Even though Postal might not be so bad.

[The Chris]

Postal doesn't have a chance in hell

[Gallagher]

Uwe Boll needs to be shot dead.

I'm serious, he's a cinema Nazi, someone needs to go up to him and yell into his ear "YOUR DOIN IT WRONG!"

No, that really does sound like something he'd say unfortunately :csad:

It pisses me off that people like Heath Ledger die, but people like Paris Hilton and Uwe Boll continue to breathe our air.

[Spider-Fan]

dude you are in no position to knock Spielberg..

from the guy who thinks Spider-man 3 was a great film.

Again, what does that have to do with anything :whatever:

I love Speilberg. But to say he has made no bad movies or a movie of his would turn out bad is nonsense.

Oh, and BTW, you liked SR, so you are in no position to talk sir.

[Spider-Fan]

Spider-Fan, I know you're going to say that your love for "Spider-Man 3" has nothing to do with this, but in a way it does. I consider every film Spielberg has done better than "Spider-Man 3", so I don't know what you're talking about when you say he's in a slump. Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford did not have to make Indy 4, but everyone wants to see it. If you're saying they are doing it for money, you're right, but not exactly. Every movie is made to make money, so is that not an added bonus that they'll enjoy making something that will make money? To finalize, I'll just say this...

That is your opinion. It has nothing to do with anything. Anyone attacking my opinion on this movie based on me liking SM3 loses all credibility in my book. Liking SM3 is an OPINION!!! Just like my OPINION on this movie. To say that my OPINION means nothing based on another one of my OPINIONS is stupid, and only applies in the realm of OPINION!!!

Indy 4 trailer > Spider-Man 3

Opinion

Indy 4 > Spider-Man 3 x 10

Opinion

I haven't seen the film yet, of course, but I buy Ford as more of an ass kicker at 66 than I do Tobey Maguire at any age, that's for damn sure.

Again, show me one ounce of this post containing any bit of fact.

[Spider-Fan]

Alright, who provoked spider fan again? :oldrazz:

ROBO.

Bringing someone's opinion of a film in to a discussion in order to discredit him/her is borderline childish.

People have the right to be skeptical.

THANK YOU!!!

I absolutely loved War of the Worlds AND The Terminal.

It's your opinion :yay:

agreed

but if we dont discuss/debate what the hell are we doing here in the first place

At least we have some reasonable people in this thread.

I am all for debate, but attacking me for loving another movie is stupid. People can debate my opinions on this movie based on comments I made about it. That's fair game. But debating me on this based on SM3 is childish.

[TLH]

Spider-Man 3 sucking out loud (or being enjoyed) is purely subjective/relative to the person who watched it. I personally hated it. Anyway...go Indy. :D

[Cagefighterkip]

[hame4479]

You guys do know that he is joking right. Aside from that fact he still sucks so bad that he should not be allowed to live. How does he actually get financing to make not 1 but 2 movies this year. Can someone explain this to me.

[hame4479]

I like superman returns too, a good film just caught superman in a bad stage in his life that is all. I mean wouldn't you be a bit of a pacifist if you just spent 5 or 6 years in a space ship thinking about your life. That along with the depression of losing your love, it went a long way to humanizing his character.

[cerealkiller182]

AndI dont think hes joking, Uwe Boll has the utmost confidence in all his endeavors

[Jack Napier]

Again, show me one ounce of this post containing any bit of fact.

You're right, there aren't a lot of facts on message boards. It's all opinions. However, some opinions are better than others. Some people have legitimacy in their opinions, especially on a film board. Sad, but true. For instance, if message board member #1's favorite movie is Twelve Angry Men, and his least favorite movie is Kangaroo Jack, and message board member #2's favorite movie is Kangaroo Jack, yet he cannot stand Twelve Angry Men, you cannot help but decide one person's opinion is, in fact, more legitimate. Now, the fact that you were entertained by Spider-Man 3 and others weren't, means this: we are all anticipating Indy 4, and to be honest, if you were impressed by Spidey 3, you are more likely to be entertained than anyone else here.

Here are some facts. On rotten tomatoes, the Indy trilogy is rated as follows:
Raiders of the Lost Ark: 95%
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: 91%
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: 93%

And the Spidey series...
Spider-Man: 90%
Spider-Man 2: 93%
Spider-Man 3: 62%

Indiana Jones is 3 for 3, they've earned their right to make a fourth installment. Spidey, not so much.

'Indiana Jones 4' Exclusive: A New Photo!
See Harrison Ford in action in this photo from ''The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20182648,00.html?xid=rss-todayslatest-20080306-%27Indiana+Jones+4%27+exclusive%21)

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are keeping a typically tight leash on details surrounding the fourth Indy installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (due May 22). Their team helped squelch renegade plot and image leaks online, shut down the attempted sale of some stolen production materials, and stands ready to bring legal action against anybody violating confidentiality agreements. But don't worry — taking a good, long gander at the exclusive photo at here won't get you thrown in the slammer. Seen here for the first time, it features Indy (Harrison Ford), a new character named ''Mutt'' (Shia LaBeouf), and an old favorite named Marion Ravenwood (Raiders' Karen Allen, with her back to the camera). For reasons best left unsaid (okay, we have no idea), the trio are careening through the Peruvian rain forest in an amphibious vehicle — yes, there's a river chase involved in the plot somehow — racing a group of nefarious Russians to find a temple that holds the mysterious treasure of the title. — Steve Daly

Dude, get off your high horse. Rotten Tomatoes means NOTHING to me. I don't need a website or critics opinions to tell me what I like or don't like, like it seems you do. My opinion is just as legitimate as anyone else's. IMO, Spidey is 3 for 3. Maybe not to you, but that is the beauty of the world. If everyone agreed, life would be boring. That doesn't make me inferior in aynway. If this movie was made like 10 years ago, I would have been fine with it. As it stands, it is far too late to do another Indy movie. At least Spider-Man will get a 4th movie before nearly 20 years goes by :whatever:

You want to debate this movie with me, go on ahead. That is fair game and I would enjoy it. You want to play politics by negatively campaigning my taste in movies, then I suggest you just ignore me and stop wasting our times. Cause I will just ignore you if you keep it up.

This is correct, Spider Fan's love of SM3 has no bearing on his feelings towards this movie, we all have favourites that have gotten critically panned, if he didn't have the avvy i am sure most would not try to use that to leverage their arguments.

This is the Indy 4 thread, discuss that movie and it's merits/issues here, not a posters view of a totally separate movie, I don't understand Spider Fan's problem with this film either but he has the right to his view and for that view to be debated on it's points, not his love of a separate film.

Gotta half agree, half disagree. Among my favorite movies are The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, 12 Angry Men, The Departed, and Top Gun. In actual fact, Top Gun is my absolute favorite. However, I've never confused considering it my fav because I liked it with thinking that it's the best movie ever made.

Spider-Fan, I think were you choose to denounce RT for not being the end-all, be-all of critiques is fine, but you also have to look at the general audience perception. While SM3 made a ton of money, audiences weren't as taken with it as the first two. RT still remains a pretty good gauge of a movie's quality, with a few exceptions. I wouldn't consider their SM ratings exceptions.

[Jack Napier]

Gene Shalit is a movie critic. He has been renouned for many years. He also has a thick moustache, that makes him look like Montana Max from "Rescue Rangers" when he smells cheese. Now, when I see this critic praise or slam a film, it doesn't matter to me. The type of movie this guy would like, I probably wouldn't like anyway, because Shalit and I would have nothing in common.
Same goes with you. You like "Spider-Man 3", which to me, was one of the most laughingly awful films made in the past 5 years. So when you say you like it, have an avvy of it, like Shalit, your criticism of "Indiana Jones 4" means dick to me, kid.

I was reminded of Spider-Fan's issues with the movie and how Indy should have been recast when I got the new issue of Entertainment Weekly in the mail today: it has a great photo of Indy (from Temple of Doom) on the cover with the headline: "Why He's Still Hot: Inside a Legend That's Thrived for 27 Years."

So I'm guessing general opinion is that Harrison Ford is still the only person who can play Indy right now.

(not trying to start an argument, just wanted to get off the SM3 bashing :yay: )

Anyway, excellent point. If a person has nothing in common with someone like a film critic, I wouldn't expect them to exactly agree on movies either.

Anyway, excellent point. If a person has nothing in common with someone like a film critic, I wouldn't expect them to exactly agree on movies either.

Yeah, that would have been an excellent point... but it's not the point he's using.
What he's saying is, is they (he and Spider-Fan) have one thing not in common (their opinion on Spider-Man 3). Thus, he can assume they have nothing in common. It's like... the most horrible case of induction I've ever seen. :o

Plus, he thinks Spider-Man 3 is the worst movie in 5 years. He either doesn't watch many movies at all, or he's insane (I don't care how bad you think the movie was, if you haven't seen a worse one in the past 5 years, those are the options).
Now those two possible factors, by the way, are some excellent reasons not to care about his opinion on movies.

Oh, and it's Monterey Jack, not Montana Max.

Though onto my recast point again. Recasting was not the solution I wanted most. No Indy 4 was my primary solution, and I still feel it was the best option.

I don't go by any of these imdb's, RT's, etc. in determining whether or not a movie was good. All that is opinion, and I have my own opinions I really don't give much stock in what other people think. Especially if they didn't like something as much as me. Just like I don't care if a movie made $$$ (unless I want a sequel made), it has no bearing on my enjoyment of it.

As the saying goes...different strokes for different folks.

Hey all, here's the special edition version of the above pic. I must say the changes actually seem to be an improvement and aren't too obvious.

Very tasteful. Will the extended edition include the scene where Mutt helps to establish the rebel alliance...against the communists?

[TLH]

Heh, oh the hype is never boring is it.

[FaT_tONle]

No more pictures like that guys... you are ruining all the action sequences for everyone... I don't want to have to leave this thread permanently...

Folks can still post them. When EW has them up (which is where it is from) it isn't very spoiler-y.

Maybe people can just put them in tags?

No, he dies, see 'ACK'... but I can reveal that it will have all guns removed and replaced with wobbly magic pants because it was always meant to be that way; the berg just didn't have the technology at the time yadda yadda...

[That'ssuper!]

If the main aritfacts had not been the crystal skulls, what would you have wanted for the story to revolve around. I thought the Fountain of Youth would have been a fine addition if it were a father-son story once again with Sr. and Jr.

[Jack Napier]

Yeah, that would have been an excellent point... but it's not the point he's using.
What he's saying is, is they (he and Spider-Fan) have one thing not in common (their opinion on Spider-Man 3). Thus, he can assume they have nothing in common. It's like... the most horrible case of induction I've ever seen. :o

Plus, he thinks Spider-Man 3 is the worst movie in 5 years. He either doesn't watch many movies at all, or he's insane (I don't care how bad you think the movie was, if you haven't seen a worse one in the past 5 years, those are the options).
Now those two possible factors, by the way, are some excellent reasons not to care about his opinion on movies.

Oh, and it's Monterey Jack, not Montana Max.


Re: my induction-
The most horrible case of induction? I'm honored. Look, I'm sure he and I have more in common than we'll ever meet up and have a cup of tea over, and I'm sure we both love woolly socks at Christmastime and we don't know it unless we put our differences in opinion aside. Point is, I don't comprehend how anyone can be skeptical about a new Indiana Jones film. That's all.

Re: Spider-Man 3-
I have seen many films, probably more than you. Not comparing, I'm just saying. I also know that to butcher Uncle Ben's line, with the power to make films comes the responsibility to make them good. The worst movie I think I have ever seen is "Hanging Up" with Diane Keaton, but I'm sure there are "Step Up 2 The Streets" and "Meet the Spartans" just aching to take the throne. I just don't bother to see them. With "Spider-Man 3" though, the movie didn't have to be good. People would go anyway. And it wasn't good. So it's more of an offense than any other movie sucking for its lack of aesthetics in my book.

Re: Monterey Jack-
Thanks for the correction.

That would've been really cool.

I was thinking it was gonna be something like Spear of Destiny or Excaliber, something with Christian background which seemed to be a trend. But i like the direction of the skulls

Final One-sheet. Good but not spectacular. Not what I was expecting, it seems a little crowded. I prefer the teaser.

I like how there sticking with the classic look instead of the "new age" look

[Webhead2006]

Yea would have been cool if short round had a cameo, but if he was in the film we would have heard about it long time ago. Also if any one cares here is a larger version of the poster:

[Watson]

[Rezzo]

Apparently the new trailer will premiere in mid-to-late April.

It was also announced that the filmmakers are currently working on a second trailer for the film, Paramount has touted that the first was one of the most watched trailers ever. It should premiere mid-to-late April.

[Rocker22]

I'm loving the final poster.

[Cory]

Some spoilers care of Entertainment Weekly (look for Indy on the cover this week!)

The latest Entertainment Weekly adds more weight to the rumors that it's about aliens. There's more than one crystal skull, and EW repeats (but doesn't confirm) the speculation that they're extraterrestrial. Also, the skulls may give you psychic powers. Meanwhile, Shia may or may not be Indy's son, and Cate interrogates Indy, who gets Stockholm Syndrome. And there may be giant ants. Go to the latest issue for much more! Entertainment Weekly

[Rezzo]

The new (and possibly last) theatrical movie poster for 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' is in the news here (http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/forums/1625/new-and-possibly-last-movie-poster-for-indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull).

Or you could just look at the poster here on the board. :huh:
