Oh god no... Indiana Jones 5 a possibility

[aakibar]

im sorry i'll still watch it it just won't be as good as the orginal series.

Alright they could also just completely fuck with the next movie and have Indy travel into the future only to find that an army of Adolf Hitlers have taken over the world and he has to steal the Arc of the Covenant to blast the Nazis back to hell and take on the super Hitler which is powered by the Holy Grail. And then he and Hitler get into a swordfight at the end as other Hitler clones surround him, and hitler opens the arc and the nazis die. Tell me you wouldn't see that movie just for the WTF factor.

I'd watch that...
I'd also watch the Gladiator sequel written by Nick Cave for the same reason...
Once you forget about releaism and go completely off the wall, things can be really fun...

Perhaps thats why the old Indiana Jones films were so good. They might have been really mad for the time,(wouldn't know, wasn't around) but this one was just kinda normal in terms of film madness... I mean, we see aliens everyday in films nowadays...

It's George Lucas. The udders of the Star Wars cow have finally turned black and fallen off, so he's moving onto the Indiana Jones cow. She doesn't have quite the output as the Star Wars cow, but milk is milk in George Lucas's mind.

We're probably going to see an entire new trilogy, probably with Shia LeButtfuck leading the charge in Indy 6, because by then Ford will hopefully be "OH FUCK THIS!" and storm off, probably grabbing the fedora with a final huff of "AND I'M TAKING MY HAT TOO!!" If not, he's going to have a cane or something, so he's going to go the way of Connery's character and die, making way for the "new generation."

Guilty Spark. I have a mission!

OT: I don't care. I love Indie.

sorry you lose a ton of credibility and objectivity when trying to complain about the series. the reason is you think about and watch the original ones with the glasses of nostalgia and they taint the image of what the movies were

in other words you actually think the movies are something different than what they actually are and when you see the newer ones you expect to be a kid again. here's some news for you, it's not going to happen, you aren't a kid and you probly weren't even born when they first came out either

OK, your logic here is incredibly flawed. I went into the new Indy film completely cold, only having seen snippets of Temple of Doom in passing (and that's it), and I still didn't feel like KotCS was all that enjoyable... It just felt awkward to me, and very George Lucas-y. I had that same lost feeling that I had when I went into Star Wars 3 (before watching the Tartakovsky Clone Wars) Like I was plunked into this setting with no context, no connection, and no direction.

Plus, the whole movie reeked of fan-wank. Like I later found out that warehouse in the beginning was the same one from Raiders. It's like saying "OH LOOKIT! IT'S A LOCATION FROM THE FIRST MOVIE! REMEMBER THIS!?!" Completely unsubtle.

lol I brought this up like 2 months ago... its terrible

 

[Mad World]

I just don't want any aliens.

 

[Undercover]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

After the-sequel-that-shall-not-be-named tragedy, you'd think the franchise would be dead, but come on people this is HOLLYWOOD we're talking about here. Do you really think they give a shit whether or not people WANT a new Indy movie? Somehow the last seq- ugh, I just threw up again.

As I was saying, somehow the last sequel managed to make a profit, which is pretty much the only qualification a movie needs in order for another one to be green-lit. This is not rocket science, this is the way the industry works and when they can't think of anything NEW to churn out to the drooling masses, they just cop out and do a remake.

What possible new plot could they come up with for another Indy movie? Indiana Jones and the child-proof Geritol lid? Indiana Jones and those goddamn teenagers? Indiana Jones and the House of Pancakes Lunch Special? Indiana Jones and the Chest-High Pants? Indiana Jones and the Quest for Viagra? Indiana Jones and the GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN?

Let it die, Hollywood. Just let it die...

Hopefully the movie will not contain anything that would destroy our opinion of the series in a whole.

Seriously this milking of old franchises should be curbed, heavily.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I posted earlier, but I had a thought. What would be the reaction of Escapists if the 5th movie was an adaptation of Fate of Atlantis?

 

[Ocelot GT]

Lucas started out a genius, a revolutionary. But for the past 11 years he's only illustrated the correct way to kill a franchise.

The Indy I fell in love with as a child is the one I will remember, not this latest pun filled garbage.

 

[Undercover]

Im still waiting for them to butcher Back to the future.

Don't even joke about that.
I will kill somebody if that happens.

You think thats bad remember when i went to see TREMINATOR 5: Now it's just getting sad

Salvation was an improvement on Rise of the Machines, at least.

I agree, but not by much. I actually walked out of the theatre when I saw T3. I was really excited because I'm a massive Terminator fan, but within the first 15 minutes I could already feel the bile begin to rise.

I mean fer chrisssakes I was expecting Arnie to crack a fucking PEPSI at any moment. The kicker for me was when they threw the Terminatrix off a building or whatever and Arnie leans over the edge, I said out loud "If he says 'She'll be back' I'm going home!" And sure enough, he said it and I did it, to the applause of more than one person.

Fuck you, Hollywood. Fuck you right in the EAR.

 

[jpakaferrari]

I don't even know why Harrison Ford is needed for the next movie. Isn't Shia LaBeouf going to take his place? I only kid because of how much I despise Shia and hope that I never have to see him in another film.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

Haha, Marion was a ballsy outspoken nightmare in this one? She had one argument, and swooned over Indy the entire time, not the case. There certainly was no swooning, in the originals.

I couldn't care less if they are gophers, prairie dogs or ferrets to be honest with you. You knew what i was talking about, no need to be a pedant.

If you would like to be a bit more condescending about the snake business please try. Or at least have the good grace to actually watch the scene. Lets face it, it's verging on borderline retarded to use a snake as a rope, and then it becomes very obvious it's a prop as it actually stretches about a foot. Crap joke, badly done.

ummm Marion was ballsy and outspoken? maybe in the first 5 minutes, not sure about when she gets captured by the Nazis both times and other times when she swoons over him in Raiders. really she's playing the same character and frankly in the latest one she's still in love with the guy and it wasn't as bad as the last time. however she's not much different in either movie, she's still the helpless damsel most of the time yelling "INDY HELP" cause she's in trouble.

as for the snake, it is a bit hard to get a real one to do that you know.

ummmm you're applying my logic to you, which in your case is different and wouldn't apply having never seen the originals, so you trying to apply logic is flawed. as for it being a Lucas film, yes it was and was very much in the style of the other films.

as for your Star Wars thing, maybe you should have watched the first couple parts instead of going in to seeing part 3 without seeing the first 2. the cartoon had little or nothing to do with the movies.

as for them showing that warehouse, no not a fan wank, no where near that. it actually fit into the story pretty well for them to be there. they did other things like that in the other movies as well, if you bothered to pay attention

 

[GameGoddess101]

OK, I did see the other two movies first. Right before seeing the third one, actually, and I was STILL lost. That cartoon had EVERYTHING to do with the movies, because without it, the viewer is lost. It makes the connection and introduces characters like Grievous. (I'm also talking about Gennedy Tartakofsky's Clone Wars made in '03, not the god awful newer CGI stuff that has just recently come out.)

 

[ShadeFox]

meh... I didn't care much for the forth one, I was fine with the aliens and communists, but my problem was I watched the whole movie and it just didn't feel like Indiana Jones, it felt like someone was TRYING to be him but something was just off, whether it was the acting or the writing, it just didn't seem right almost like a fan fiction of the original trilogy.

really i wasn't lost at all, i read the scrolling text at the beginning. i didn't see the majority of the cartoons before hand and i was still able to figure it out. it wasn't hard, just took some reading.

i think you also grossly misunderstand his actual style of movie and Star Wars is supposed to be. it's something most "fans" don't really get at all, which is pretty darn funny.

i've said this before that most fans don't actually pay attention or understand what Lucas is saying in an interview. i just watched his interview on the Something Something Darkside dvd and funnily enough he said exactly the same thing that i've been saying for years about the movies

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

Did you hear about the possibility of a fourth Spider-man movie? I don't know if I'm willing to watch either.

i was so heart broken with spidey 3, it had so much potential in my eyes.
any ideas if the original cast and crew will be onboard?

From what I've read, their scrapping Toby Maguire..
Smart move? I cannot say...
I say they should've just ended the whole series after three, no need for a new one.

or maybe after the 2nd.
have you seen the road to Avengers movies that are due to come out? shame spidey couldn't be a part of them

Allow me to explain why the 4th film was bad.

You see, I am a WoW player, and we WoW players are very fimiliar with one term in particular, thanks to the folks at Blizz:

RetCon.


And thats what the 4th Indiana Jones movie was. A RetCon. It took everything about the story and trampled it underneath its big stompy boots. The plot wasn't good, and it took the whole "Slightly Realistic" part of Indiana Jones and placed a big "ALIENS R 4 REALZ" poster over it.

I understand some people liked it, but to many, it was the butchering of a story we all loved as children.

a retcon? did they change much of the history with the 4th film?

i see what you mean with 'the whole "Slightly Realistic" part of Indiana Jones and placed a big "ALIENS R 4 REALZ" poster over it.'
the films already had a set level of suspension of disbelief, and the 4th one passed that line.

i personally have just seen the whole franchise as fun, and not to be taken too serious. thats what the 4th was for me, a bit of fun.
i dont think its anywhere as good as the original trilogy, but it's by no means a Phantom Meanace.
more Terminator4 than Terminator3
