Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[danoyse]

Same here. He seemed a bit...neurotic. Of course they barely talked about Indy 4.

That's the way he always is in interviews. He's a wreck. That was the first time I saw the clip of him getting slimed, that was funny. :oldrazz:

He did seem excited about the movie though. :up:

[Spider-Vader]

Blockbuster has some exclusive merchandise T-shirts, some cool DVD case & a Fedora! I need to go there before May 22.

[Gotham]

Looks like marketing is about to be in full swing.

TV spots are starting to play frequently on my TV. Yeah, I think we're about to see a whole lot more of Indy. :up:

[FoxTrot]

I haven't been to the movies in like 2 years. I think I'm going to go see this on opening day. No kids will be there, so that's a plus. Anyone think it will be as crowded as 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' was?

[Symbiotic]

I haven't been to the movies in like 2 years. I think I'm going to go see this on opening day. No kids will be there, so that's a plus. Anyone think it will be as crowded as 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' was?Probably not quite that packed.

[FoxTrot]

Probably not quite that packed.

So I'll have extra seats on each side? One for my bucket of popcorn and one for my vat of pop.

[Symbiotic]

So I'll have extra seats on each side? One for my bucket of popcorn and one for my vat of pop.Eh, on second thought, you might wanna hold those while you watch the movie.

[FoxTrot]

Eh, on second thought, you might wanna hold those while you watch the movie.

Why?

[Symbiotic]

Why?'Cause I suddenly have a feeling it'll be packed.

[FoxTrot]

'Cause I suddenly have a feeling it'll be packed.

I'm not getting popcorn anyways, just a boatload of drink. What's the biggest size they got anyway? 32 oz?

[Symbiotic]

I'm not getting popcorn anyways, just a boatload of drink.Heh. I usually go for the large myself.

[FoxTrot]

Heh. I usually go for the large myself.

Me too, but it's been awhile. I think the jumbo might be 48 oz.

NO! I just cant do it, I'll get too excited and won't be able to watch it. Unless.... I get drunk first. But then I won't be able to drink my jumbo sized pop. Hmmmmm, this won't be easy. They really should start selling alcohol at the theatre.

[Golgo-13]

I just noticed Hurt/Abner in the new trailer. I wonder if he's been living in the Amazon all this time?

[Drizzle]

I just noticed Hurt/Abner in the new trailer. I wonder if he's been living in the Amazon all this time?

Hurt's not playing Abner Ravenwood. He's playing a professor named Oxley, who's an old colleague of Indy's.

[Golgo-13]

Hurt's not playing Abner Ravenwood. He's playing a professor named Oxley, who's an old colleague of Indy's.


Ah. So is Abner even in the movie, or was that fan speculation?

[Cagefighterkip]

NO! I just cant do it, I'll get too excited and won't be able to watch it. Unless.... I get drunk first. But then I won't be able to drink my jumbo sized pop. Hmmmmm, this won't be easy. They really should start selling alcohol at the theatre.

go to amsterdam, they have beers in theaters... and i dont mean no paper cup i mean a GLASS of beer

[FoxTrot]

go to amsterdam, they have beers in theaters... and i dont mean no paper cup i mean a GLASS of beer

I've bought beer in theatres before, it's great. They do it in Puerto Rico, I can't see why they don't in the continental U.S.. My guess is that they will do that after they legalize marijuana.

[Symbiotic]

go to amsterdam, they have beers in theaters... and i dont mean no paper cup i mean a GLASS of beerStop by McDonald's first and pick up a Royale with cheese.

[Rocker22]

The movie marathon has started on USA.

[Spider-Vader]

Yup I'm watching it. Recording TOD because my DVD is scratched. I'll pick up the new version soon.

[FoxTrot]

Yup I'm watching it. Recording TOD because my DVD is scratched. I'll pick up the new version soon.

Should just wait for the new boxset when it comes out around X-Mas.

[Gotham]

Ah. So is Abner even in the movie, or was that fan speculation?

Fan speculation, I believe. He could be -- just not played by Hurt.

[Dr. Watson]

Is there any word about there being previews the day before at 8pm (Paramount does that a lot with thier films) or midnight showings?

[Symbiotic]

Is there any word about there being previews the day before at 8pm (Paramount does that a lot with thier films) or midnight showings?If they do an 8 pm showing at my theater, I'll certainly try to be there.

[The_Vision]

Is Ian McDiarmid in this or was that just a rumour?

[CJWilkie]

Looks like marketing is about to be in full swing.

in London, the majority of buses have Indy banners on the side. Also, in the Underground there are lots of TV screens playing adverts for it on a loop. There are posters everywhere, it's exciting!

[Cagefighterkip]

Is Ian McDiarmid in this or was that just a rumour?

he could be, it was rumored for a brief period on the indianajones.com official site

[Bim]

I was at the mall today and saw the huge Indy poster... i'm sooo getting excited for this as may 22 gets closer! :woot:

[Rocker22]

They have been showing them all afternoon. It has been fun to see them all in a row.

[cerealkiller182]

but they're out of order

[Golgo-13]

Yeah, i'm not really watching them per say. Have 'em on dvd. They're obviously on to add to the hype of Indy 4.

[Iron Fist]

Raiders is on on USA right now! :up:

I'm watching it aswell. :up:

[Rocker22]

Don't forget to watch SNL tonight with Shia. Who knows maybe Indy himself will show up. :cwink:

[Iron Fist]

Yes, can't wait for that. :up:

[Tempest19]

Just switched it on- this very minute. Thanks. :up:

[Rocker22]

That was really funny. Good plug for the movie.

[Iron Fist]

Yeah it was. :lmao: It's really good so far.

[Tempest19]

This episode is GREAT! The McGrubber sequences have been hilarious.

So just out of curiosity Indiana is immortal correct?

Didn't u hear Shia on SNL? Indiana Jones dies in this one.



Note: Mods this really isn't a spoiler, since I'm pretty sure they were kidding around.

And got to go to BLOCKBUSTER now. I'm an avid cup collector.

[BatJeff7786]

So just out of curiosity Indiana is immortal correct?

What? No, why? I assume you're talking about the Holy Grail and how he took a drink of it in Last Crusade. The Knight stated that if you wish to remain immortal then you have to stay and guard the Grail. The Price of Immortality.

[Trainwreck2100]

So just out of curiosity Indiana is immortal correct?


Nope he had to stay in the temple to be immortal, remember the knight tells him that's the "price for immortality"

[BatJeff7786]

Can't believe I wasted time on this. :huh:

Aw. I thought it was funny. Pretty cleverly written too. It's not easy to write parody songs like that.

I just don't know if this film will have that same magic as the other Indiana Jones movies...

[The Chris]

Those are nice. They also show how well crystal skull's poster goes with the other three.

I don't know I mean Henry Jones drank from the cup out side that Grails little room and what not but he still was healed and the bullet wound was taken care of. Then again I guess it doesnt really matter if Bond has had 21 movies Indy can have 4, lol.

Just curious but what is the correct order of the films, i like to think of The Last Crusade as the third but i have heard of Temple of Doom being the 3rd as well. What is the official Timeline?

[Rezzo]

Just curious but what is the correct order of the films, i like to think of The Last Crusade as the third but i have heard of Temple of Doom being the 3rd as well. What is the official Timeline?

The Last Crusade 1938
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 1957

Am I the only one who thinks that Shia is totally out of place in this movie?

Pretty good deal for all four glasses.

[Starbird]

I think Shia will do pretty damn well his role.

Do you guys enjoy the rest of the cast?

[The Chris]

Heck yeah. I'm suprised that not more people mention that cate Blanchett is the villain, Ray Winstone is his sidekick, Karen Allen is back and John Hurt is her father. Great cast.

[Rezzo]

Do you guys enjoy the rest of the cast?

I love the cast and absolutely can't wait to see Cate's performance.

[Starbird]

I agree. I absoultely love how they are bringing back Karen Allen:D. She was one hell of a doll back in the day.

I just can't say enough about this film and how excited I am for it.


Heck yeah. I'm suprised that not more people mention that cate Blanchett is the villain, Ray Winstone is his sidekick, Karen Allen is back and John Hurt is her father. Great cast.

[Tempest19]

This shows how far we've come, watching a Frank Barubont (spelling?) documentary on 'The Directors' and they stated Indiana Jones was coming out in 2005.

[The Kid]

I wonder if at the end of the movie mutt goes home after their long adventure, but then Indy suddenly shows up and tells him, "Mutty, you've got of come back with me. It's about your future!" And Mutt asks, "Why, Doc. Do I become an ******* or something?"

[Tempest19]

with a special cameo by Michael J. Fox.

[Giovanni Zatara]

John Hurt is her father.

:huh:, I thought her father was dead.

Frank Barubont (spelling?)

Frank Darabont.

with a special cameo by Michael J. Fox.

Since the movie takes place in the 1950s it would be funny to see a cross-over between Indy and Back to the Future. lol. :oldrazz:

[Spider-Vader]

Heck yeah. I'm suprised that not more people mention that cate Blanchett is the villain, Ray Winstone is his sidekick, Karen Allen is back and John Hurt is her father. Great cast.

Ray is his sidekick only at the beginning & near the end though he's in for most of the movie, but that's far as I'm spoiling. I know this because of the cards.

Well Imdb has John Hurt as Professor Oxley so I guess he's not ravenwood, but it's still John Hurt.

[Sam Fisher]

Why the heck is USA showing the movies backwards??

[Giovanni Zatara]

Why the heck is USA showing the movies backwards??

Why, whenever a station in the UK or Ireland shows a Bond season, do they hardly ever show them in chronological order? Some stations suck.

[Sam Fisher]

Yeah, but Bond has 21{too many} movies and Indy has 3:cwink:

[Giovanni Zatara]

Yeah, but Bond has 21{too many} movies and Indy has 3:cwink:

Beats me then.

[Triligors]

Blasphemy!!! :cmad:

There can NEVER be too many Bond movies. I hope when in fifteen years and I have a family, I'll be able to introduce my son to James Bond.

The character should stay around till the end of days!:woot:

[raybia]

Watched Raiders and Temple of Doom yesterday. One word: Wow!

[Starbird]

I absolutely love 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark'. I can't get enough of it:D

[The Kid]

Yeah Raiders is a beast. It's just so polished, perhaps too good. That's why the other movies seem like watered down versions of it. Temple was meant to be the "anything goes" one so that's fine. Last Crusade coming up short though... tsk tsk...

[The Chris]

Man they're all great. Raiders happens to be the greatest of the great.

[Golgo-13]

The days of Raiders, Close Encounters and SW are over. They will never make movies like those ever again. I'm glad i grew up in the era when these movies were out. I pity the generation that didn't cause i doubt the movies that are coming out today, will go down in cinema history like movies of the the ones i mentioned.

[Giovanni Zatara]

There can NEVER be too many Bond movies.

Uh, yes there can. Octopussy, A View to a Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day.

[Mutt]

pity the generation that didn't cause i doubt the movies that are coming out today, will go down in cinema history like movies of the the ones i mentioned.

Unfortunately. But, at least we get to see somewhat of a second coming with these films returning. Can't say I'm not jealous though, it would be sweet if I was born earlier.

[Conebone69]

That is pretty stupid to show the series backwards

Too true. It's like John Williams and his scores. Will we ever see the likes of his genius ever again??? Scary thought... It's now the age of the predictable sequel and adaptation, and I think people are getting tired of them...

I do think however that we're gearing up for a movie to come along and completely re-energize cinema again like a jaws, star wars, or titanic...

Could it be Avatar???? :huh:

"Octopussy" does not deserve to be on this list. The others I can agree with, though.

[X-Maniac]

Uh, yes there can. Octopussy, A View to a Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day.

Shoot me at dawn but I quite liked A View to A Kill and even Die Another Day. But I also loved Casino Royale too. The Bond movies tend to fit the era in which they are made; they're fantasy espionage films at the end of the day and given that there have been 22 movies in the past 46 years, then they are never going to be totally consistent. Die Another Day fitted its period, taking fantasy elements (invisible car, ice-palace) and popculture elements (Halle, Madonna) to a peak. Today people want dark and gritty and hence Casino Royale came along with Bond getting his nuts smashed to bits.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Got my tickets last night for the 7:30 P.M. showing on opening night (i.e. May 22).

I'm taking my old man (who originally got me into the Indiana Jones film) with me. I remember when I told him we were going to see it a few weeks back. He said, "They're making another one? I wonder what kind of trouble Indy will get himself into this time..."

To be honest, I'm more looking forward to seeing it with him than the film itself at this point. Don't get me wrong, I hope it's solid as Hell. But those reviews that leaked last week mixed with Lucas' overall down-playing of expectations doesn't paint Indy IV in the best light.

That said, if it turns out great; that's...great! If it sucks, that's fine too. It won't be the end of the world and we'll always have the other Indy films to enjoy!

[BloodyWolverine]

George Lucas never praised his films and at very best is his worst critic actually and it normal for him to down play a film for he does it all the time. In some cases if lUcas didn't like it for real it could mean its amazing.
And pay no attention to critics for they don't like alot of summer movies.

[Figs]

yknow he downplays this flick, downplays the original star wars movies... but praises the NEW star wars flicks... lucas is a retard w/no real taste it appears


Or maybe because he knew the originals and possible KOTCS are going to be good, so he doesn't want people's hype or expectations to get too high cause it might ruin the experience.

With the prequels, maybe he knew they were **** so he decided to hype them up to get people to go.

[FilmNerdJamie]

This is why Lucas downplays Indy 4: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-03-24-lucas_N.htm


"When you do a movie like this, a sequel that's very, very anticipated, people anticipate ultimately that it's going to be the Second Coming," Lucas says. "And it's not. It's just a movie. Just like the other movies. You probably have fond memories of the other movies. But if you went back and looked at them, they might not hold up the same way your memory holds up."

The remarks appear to be part of a larger strategy to build interest yet temper expectations for the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise. Only one trailer is playing, and when director Steven Spielberg shows up for talk shows, he doesn't bring footage.

Lucas says he learned his lesson about unrealistic expectations when he revived the Star Wars franchise in 1999. "When people approach the new ('Indiana Jones'), much like they did with 'Phantom Menace,' they have a tendency to be a little harder on it," he says. "You're not going to get a lot of accolades doing a movie like this. All you can do is lose."

I think he's just trying to make the point that it's just a fun Indy movie. When people have high expectations with movies, and specially franchises that we have cherished since little, they do tend to come out dissapointed.:hehe:

[Gamma Ray]

Why can't Lucas just play it safe and not keep adding on to long stagnant franchises?

[deathshead2]

Why can't Lucas just play it safe and not keep adding on to long stagnant franchises?Because he loves the smell of money when he lites his cigars.

Actually, in this case Spielberg and Harrison were the ones naggin him for another one :oldrazz:

[The Kid]

I get the funny feeling this movie's going to flop. :csad: Regardless of quality, this, the new batman, whatever else, I think people are tired of big explosion movies. Iron Man's doing decent business but not spider-man numbers... there's definitely a box office slow down occurring. This may be a rocky unpredictable summer...

I WILL be there on the 22, but I doubt others will.

[Mr. Socko]

I hope this movie does huge, but I too also sense a funny feeling that it may only do mediocre Superman Returns like numbers in the BO. Hope that is wrong.

FLOP? Rediculous. People are going to see it. Even if it sucks they will see it. Movies with high expectations like this one are almost guaranteed a huge opening weekend, and a few after that. And of course Iron Man isn't doing Spider-Man numbers. He's far less popular in the public eye. The sequel will be just as big, if not bigger. And there's a box office slowdown right now (if you can call it that, these past two weeks have been the biggest of the year)only because there are maybe 2 or 3 good movies that people want to actually see. After this week, things will start to kick in. Kids are still in school.

[Bim]

I dont think it will flop at all, i do think critics will bash it though.

Most everyone i talk to really want to see Indy actually, heck, even my mom wants to go to the movies and see it, and that's saying a lot :woot:

indy 4's budget is 180million, not the almost 300million SR had... this will have good numbers, REALLY GOOD... my prediction is dark knight first but indy4 coming in second...

and critics will give it a 2 to 3 star average i bet, there wont be much bashing methinks...

exactly what i was about to say, if sr was made for 180million the sequel would be out next summer for sure, w/a teaser sometime soon, not summer 2010 MAYBE if they get to it...

And there's a box office slowdown right now (if you can call it that, these past two weeks have been the biggest of the year)only because there are maybe 2 or 3 good movies that people want to actually see. After this week, things will start to kick in. Kids are still in school.

I wouldn't say he's far less popular. He's right up there next to the hulk, slightly below x-men, but he's no iron fist or some other obscure character... Anyway I hope the sequel's less generic than the first.

heh, I think my point is that things were supposed to have kicked in already but obviously aren't. The last few years have become saturated with big fx movies. All I'm saying is maybe that's had an impact on today's film's potential for success. The only movie that I can see pulling through as this years break out hit, is Wall-e at this point and that movie looks really lame to me. Still, it's original, and I think audiences are going to gravitate more to original stuff more than the same old thing.

[Gotham]

exactly what i was about to say, if sr was made for 180million the sequel would be out next summer for sure, w/a teaser sometime soon, not summer 2010 MAYBE if they get to it...

but yeah, indy4 is gonna be awesome back on topic

There was no way they were ever going to save money on making Superman Returns. That film had been through so many developments..

Because "Octopussy" is a great Bond film.

Indiana Jones is as popular as a darth vader or a jack sparrow. Trust me it will draw an audience and there are millions who remember the first 3 movies.

Of course, and I shall be buying the DVD. I judge movies based on what they are supposed to be, rather than holding them against some mythical standard.
Do you judge all music against Mozart, making no allowances for pop or rock music? Surely most hip-hop or metal or Madonna or whoever wouldn't stand a chance if someone was trying to force it to be Beethoven or Tchaikovsky. It's called pop-culture, in case you didn't realise. :oldrazz:

Your argument is 'I liked it, because I didn't expect it to be good, and, thus, it met my expectation?'

[Nirvana]

I don't see how any of you can say the movie will flop. A lot of older people and elderly people I know who rarely ever go the movies say they'll be there. Its the type of movie that even if you rarely go to the theater you'll still go see it. I think it'll be huge.

So I just got done watch the Last Crusade and I'm even more excited now! I can't help but think of a small logical flaw in the film...correct me if I'm wrong, but if my memory serves me correctly Italy was on the side of the Nazis yes? So wouldn't it be hard for a couple American Citizens to get into Italy?

[Alex The Great]

in a strange turn of events uwe bolls postal will dominate the weekend box office :eek:
The Day that happens is when i eat my pants....and vomit them out....and eat them again...

[danoyse]

I get the funny feeling this movie's going to flop. :csad: Regardless of quality, this, the new batman, whatever else, I think people are tired of big explosion movies. Iron Man's doing decent business but not spider-man numbers... there's definitely a box office slow down occurring. This may be a rocky unpredictable summer...

I WILL be there on the 22, but I doubt others will.

Iron Man is doing great business. It's already made its money back when you look at the domestic and international grosses and it's only in it's 2nd weekend. People are loving it, even if they weren't that familiar with the character before. The only superhero movie doing Spiderman-business is, well...Spiderman. That series is in a whole other league, you can't expect every superhero movie to do the same.

And people are psyched for Indy IV. My sister hasn't been to a movie since my nephew was born, but they're getting a babysitter so they can see it. My dad and I are driving cross-country next week and we're making a stop at the first decent movie theater we can find it to see it.

I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't want to see the new Indy movie. It's going to do very well.

Here's a link to an new Indy tv spot. emded is disabled so couldn't post it myself.
I think it's the best edited one so far. Cate Blanchett is gonna be fun to watch, oh and the lighting is really nice looking, both for looking like the other Indy movies even though the director of photography is different, and for just looking darn nice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPdcDHiRl7w&feature=user

[Gamma Ray]

All of these TV spots are the same.

[X-Maniac]

Right, and movies (popcorn movies especially) are supposed to be entertaining. 10,000 BC was not. There's no mythical standard there. But thanks for the effort, anyway. :up:

But you can't spew out 'it was not entertaining' when entertainment is a personal taste matter not an objective standard.

[X-Maniac]

Your argument is 'I liked it, because I didn't expect it to be good, and, thus, it met my expectation?'

No, that's not my argument. I can understand criticisms of it, to some extent (some of the dialogue and plot points), but I think you are looking/thinking too hard about everything and stressing out over things.

I expected 10,000BC, based on the name and the trailers, to be a prehistoric adventure movie. Since we don't know the language of that era, then the film had to either have grunts with subtitles or modern language. We all know how subtitled movies perform - America often needs subtitles on films with British accents (The Full Monty), let alone primeval grunting. All aspects of the movie can be roughly linked to that timeframe. Yes, it took liberties, but then One Million Years BC had Raquel Welch screaming at dinosaurs (and is still a great movie) and '300' had a goat-headed musician and a giant rhinoceros. The 'art' of the concepts is greater than the detail.

Indiana Jones tv spots have some simular parts but i saw the one twice last night where it Indy says Its Just a Story to Shia Lebeoufs character i hadn't seen that tv spot. But Lucas will not do an Iron Man and show you thw whole movie ina trailer. Lucas and Speilberg like surprises and are those people who like to keep secrets of films.

I saw that too during wrestling. I like that. They don't need to show the whole movie, It's Indiana Jones. It may make these trailers and commercials awkwards, but it'd all right for me.

[Cagefighterkip]

All of these TV spots are the same.

id rather them be all the same, instead of lots of different clips and seeing the entire movie in like 3mins (IE Iron man)

[Fanticon]

Why would Lucas say "fans are going to hate me after this one"...if he isn't trying to kill Indy off? Or is he?:csad:

[Fanticon]

there was plenty in Iron Man that was definitely not shown in any of the commercials...and the movie isn't ruined just because you see quite a few action moments...it all pretty much revolves around RDJr's performance.

[danoyse]

I've never seen subtitles on British films in the US. The Full Monty didn't have them when I saw it. I didn't even know a subtitled version existed. :huh:

[Fanticon]

^^^
I think he was saying there should be subtitles for films like the Full Monty...not that there actually was a version that already has them. (unless for the hearing impaired of course:cwink:)

[Captain Planet!]

Why is this coming out on a Thursday? :huh:

[The Chris]

Good question. Revenge of the Sith came out thursday too.

[Shifty]

An extra day to make money. All the Star Wars prequels came out on a Thursday and they made money, Episode III made $50 million on opening day Thursday. They've got 5 days with the Memorial Day Long Weekend to maximize revenue. And with an older fanbase and no real big blockbuster the next weekend it probably won't drop over 50% in the second weekend.

[X-Maniac]

I did an analysis of the points raised about this movie in my blog here:

http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2008/05/will-the-new-indiana-jones-mov.html

Danoyse let me use the photo she took in New York, so thanks for that! I'm getting such mixed views on this movie, from a woman at work who is raving on about it, to someone else at work saying 'word on the street' is that it will be a failure. I shall have to go to see it, for work purposes; but I don't know if I'd rush to see it otherwise. It's like something from another age of film-making. And I'm not struck on Shia or on Cate's look that much.

Comments on my blog are welcome of course, as always. If you think I've got it all wrong, and want to encourage people to see the movie, then say so on my blog, which has thousands of mainstream readers.

Lucas said we were going hate him after this one?

That's....a strange thing to say...

[X-Maniac]

[X-Maniac]

I've never seen subtitles on British films in the US. The Full Monty didn't have them when I saw it. I didn't even know a subtitled version existed. :huh:

My bad. I heard at one point that it was subtitled in the US because the British accents in it (which weren't stereotypically English educated accents or Cockney London accents) were too hard to understand.

But the point was that subtitled movies get a much smaller release. And also that a prehistoric movie with made-up caveman language and subtitles would be a bit silly.

What did you think of my Indy article?

[Gotham]

Maybe Indy gives up/dies....

If this is as big they're hoping for, I highly doubt they would massacre a beloved character such as Indiana Jones.

[Star]

Perhaps he retires from exploring? Or continues but in a much less physical way? Who knows... guess we'll find out next week.

Doubtful. And I don't mean to be rude whatsoever. They would never let this franchise go.. again.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Maybe he finally settles down?

I dunno...to say we're gonna hate him sounds like they do something...drastic.

[GhostPoet]

I don't take anything Lucas says serious anymore.

[Kanon]

Lucas said we were going hate him after this one?
What? we don't hate him already? :p

Maybe Mariann (sp?) dies...
Damn... I would hate that...

[GhostPoet]

Marion dying would add a huge emotional impact to the film...I could really see it happening....anyway, that's my bet.

No offense, but this is a crock of *****ake mushrooms, if I may. You've been saying the same thing since that movie came out.

You expected it to be a prehistoric adventure movie, and it obviously was. Since it met your genre expectations, does that make it a good film. No, and you seem to be one of the select few that enjoyed it. I also don't understand why you feel the need to bringup the matter of subtitles and historical liberties. No one was even commenting on those, and they don't matter so much in a fictional adventure film like this. With that said, the film still blew.

You may want to comment on this:

[danoyse]

My bad. I heard at one point that it was subtitled in the US because the British accents in it (which weren't stereotypically English educated accents or Cockney London accents) were too hard to understand.

I don't remember anyone having a problem with The Full Monty. Wouldn't be surprised if they did though. All it takes is one person to complain about it. :whatever:

The only movie I remember having a hard time understanding the British accents was Billy Elliot, but I adjusted to it after the first half-hour and it's currently one of my all-time favorite movies.

Loads of people on here commented on 'historical liberties' - even though there weren't that many. Mammoths and sabretooths were round then, the giant birds were once thought to exist then, the Atlantis legend referenced and the new age theory on pyramid building all refer to 10,000BC.

Those things aside, I really didn't think it 'blew.' And neither did the public in general if we look at box office - $265m box office (budget was $105m). That's reasonable but not spectacular.

What we can prove here is that you didn't like it and I did.

It's not 'lame', it can walk properly and has full use of its legs, thank you. It's a blog, an opinion piece. I don't accept that 'the general public and critics' thought this film was crap because i haven't spoken to each and every one of them.

From what I've heard it's basically new featurettes with the cast & crew (from the set of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) that is a complete re-hash from those fantastic documentaries from the previous set.

I'd recommend buying The Adventures of Indiana Jones DVD collection (i.e. the set from a few years back). It's still available on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Indiana-Raiders-Temple-Crusade/dp/B00003CXC5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1210768104&sr=1-1

As a matter of fact, I bought that yesterday afternoon after work for some good friends of mine's little boys (i.e. aged 2 and 3). They're going to eat those movies up. Can't wait to see their reaction to Raiders.

[SuperBatman]

Yeah I actually have already bought the 2003 series that's why I was wondering if it was any different. So I think I'll just stick with the series I have. I'm going to do a Indiana Jones Marathon before I go see IJ 4 at Midnight on Wednesday.

shia was hilarious on letterman but Ford was like totally out of his mind or like definitely something up with him... either he hit the bar too hard or was as high as a kite on Leno... funny but really sorta silly

Harrison Ford is always like that on talk shows. He's a nervous wreck.

[LostSon88]

Anyone see him on Leno...it was like he was in a whole other world.

His response to Leno's question about the slime at the Nickelodeon awards had me goin, "WTF is wrong with him?"...he really seemed out of it.

Ford has never really done well in interviews...like someone else said, he's nervous. some actors can do great things on camera...but in front of a live camera where it's one on one and they have to be themselves...it can be difficult. Much easier to pretend to be someone else. :)

u want. Just relaying some info. Anyone who gets angry should seek help.
I know people in Pixar, Dreamworks, LucasArts etc. The games effects community is fairly small in Cali.
:)

So long as it isn't as cheesy in it's cheesiness as the humor in TLC. I love all 3 of the Indy movies, but TLC boarder lined going over the top with the humor.

15 Minutes of Behind the Scenes Footage from Indiana Jones! And a Featurette! (http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4872&Itemid=99)

See director Steven Spielberg in action…(Mr. Lucas, walk away)…Harrison Ford practicing with his whip, Shia and his switchblade, Cate and her sword, stunts and much more in the 15 minutes of behind the scenes footage we have from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Plus a new featurette entitled "Bringing Back a Classic!"

His exploits are the stuff of legend and his name has become the very definition of adventure.

Indiana Jones.

The whip-toting, punch-packing, snake-hating, globe-trotting archaeologist with a fedora is back on screen in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” debuting worldwide Thursday, May 22, 2008.

This newest adventure begins in the desert Southwest in 1957 – the height of the Cold War. Indy and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have barely escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a remote airfield.

Now, Professor Jones has returned home to Marshall College – only to find things have gone from bad to worse. His close friend and dean of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains that Indy’s recent activities have made him the object of suspicion, and that the government has put pressure on the university to fire him. On his way out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who carries both a grudge and a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist: If he’ll help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history – the Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.

But as Indy and Mutt set out for the most remote corners of Peru – a land of ancient tombs, forgotten explorers and a rumored city of gold – they quickly realize they are not alone in their search. The Soviet agents are also hot on the trail of the Crystal Skull. Chief among them is icy cold, devastatingly beautiful Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), whose elite military unit is scouring the globe for the eerie Crystal Skull, which they believe can help the Soviets dominate the world ... if they can unlock its secrets.

Indy and Mutt must find a way to evade the ruthless Soviets, follow an impenetrable trail of mystery, grapple with enemies and friends of questionable motives, and, above all, stop the powerful Crystal Skull from falling into the deadliest of hands.

May 22nd can't get here fast enough. :woot:

I only have the gall to hear the Indy theme. Man, I already know I'll like this movie. That music just does that to me.

[Secret_Riddle]

Interesting fact guys, the crystal skull theme plays like an inverted ark theme.

The ark theme starts at a middle note then goes high low, the crystal skull starts in the middle and goes low high

Interesting, does it perhaps suggest connections? Also I can personally confirm the Ark theme does occur in the track "spell of the skull" interesting indeed...

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh very nice

Do I want to know why he was giving people the finger on tv ?

He wasn't giving them the finger for a specific reason, it's just he was doing hand motions and his finger ended up like that lol.

Call of the Crystal is very eerie. These tracks are awesome, not really in the same vain as the other Indy soundtracks but still totally John Williams.

Mummy 3 trailer ste to be wide released with Indy 4 according to director Rob Cohen but my guess is like most theators it just depends. On if they decide to show differant trailers.
