Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[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.

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

 

[scifiwolf]

Doesn't Young Sherlock have the honor of having the first totally CG character in film?

 

[Mr. Socko]

I recall some kind of "Young Sherlock" movie but I can't remember it exactly...*searches wiki*

I'm not sure, but I think so.

Yeah, it was shown and discussed in the "Making of Jurassic Park" documentary.

ERRONEOUS

Look at him! He's always on the verge of tears. Is little Indy gonna cry?

 

[Mr. Socko]

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.

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.

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!

But, but, but...yea you're right!

Don't diss Minority Report. And Terminal was a cute movie. And War of the Worlds was good.

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.

That thing gave me nightmares.

Ditto that, those three movies were pretty good in my opinion, especially Minority Report...

Harrison Ford Web has posted quite a few new photos of the Indiana Jones 4 sets currently being used in Los Angeles, as well as past ones like Hawaii, on the Universal lot and at Downey.

If you're interested in taking a peek this early at some of the work the production is doing, then click the link above. The fourth installment hits theaters on May 22, 2008.

me too, i remember a cult led by Sherlock's fencing teacher, it has been a long time since i saw it.

I think Spielberg's latest films have been pretty good but I definitely think he can do better. I'm hoping Indy 4 brings him back to his old school type of filmmaking.

 

[strikezone89]

haha little indy looks like a wussy boy
lol

Well said

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.

Everybody hated The Terminal, but I really liked it. I don't know why though.

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.
