Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?!?? We can do better than THAT!

all the stuff about going back to the old style and not modernizing it sounds promising.

got damn

yeah, that's kinda awesome.

that's kinda Rosa Klebb.

I'd like to have seen it in black-and-white with lots of rearscreen projection.

just like the first 3!

Indiana Jones, because of the wang.

george lucas insisting on something for years that everyone at first blush thought was crap... not filling me with confidence

v v interested in how marxism will be handled in this tho! u kno cate will have at least one line about the people or history or a better world etc. or not!

I heard a Lucas via Shia LaB quote about this being more of a '50s sci-fi hommage?

'50s sci-fi hommage...that's up my alley

Blanchett in hot commie getup also up my alley

i'm looking forward to this!

ah, hes just all butthurt over no one liking his precious prequels.

he's not writing or directing this so that's good.

ya but he has creative control and apparently deepsixed earlier versions of hte script everyone else liked. he'll find a way to ruin it.

I will see a terrible movie with Cate Blanchett as a hottie commie dommie. But I would rather see a good movie with etc. The interview makes the former possibility seem more likely.

Tuesdays With Indy

great scene in the Star Wars Episode II DVD extra feature on the sound effects, shot of George Lucas watching rushes of the traffic chase scene with two assistants. he singles out a brief reaction shot of a tentacle-eyed alien scrambling his ship out of the way of oncoming traffic, and says 'wow! funny shot! hey I have an idea, could we get someone to dub in a goofy voice so that the alien is going "WHAT THUH..." as he dives out of the way?' & the two assistants laugh politely, write down his suggestion on a notepad and then they all keep watching

trailer's out...

Okay, I'll give 'em points for The Warehouse.

Really CGIed up by the looks of it, which is unsurprising but still a pity.

I know! I thought the whole idea was they were going to keep clear of that and I watch and all, "Uh."

There's a "lol old indy" joke in the trailer! I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad one.

Indiana Jones and the Very Happy Puppy

it looks like a computer game.

awful trailer

not excited.

there's better jokes + more exciting shit in a random 90 seconds of raisers or last crusade than in that whole trailer

lol raisers

RAIDERS

which is probably why half the trailer is clips of the old movies.

stupid 'put lots of action shit in it' trailer, like people are going to see 'indy iv' on that basis.

also i had been repressing how much i really dont want to see shia labeef in an indiana jones movie

old man indy jokes make sense, since the character has basically always had a crabby old man attitude, but hopefully they won't be super lame like these.

e-mailing with my ex just now:

I hate that smarmy chinless Shia LeBoeuf kid. I think he's underwhelming as a performer and tough to look at. Must Lucas add kids to everything?!

stupid 'put lots of action shit in it' trailer, like people are going to see 'indy iv' on that basis.

you mad. have you seen the numbers those piece of shit National Treasure movies do?

national treasure is like 80% jokes/20% action!!

the proper indy ratio!!

yah i know but this is 'indiana jones' rite.

"it practically sells itself." -- butthead

xpoist

im sort of wondering if my negative reaction to shia lebeouf is based on the fact that i wish i was cast as indy's son

the same reason my girlfriend got all pissed at the girl who played lyra in the golden compass b/c she wished she was lyra

the same reason dr morbius was mad at the producers of the 'grumpy old men' series

i thought harrison seemed awesome...

i basically like shia, he was the only halfway decent thing abt transformers what a piece of shit.

i didn't think the CG seem obtrusive, i liked the basic look of things.

that girl that played lyra was one of the only decen things about that abortion! she was great, too bad the butchered the book

nah i thought she was great, my chick was in a huff about it and it eventually became clear that she was just jealous

The oddest thing about the trailer was seeing it with the 2000-era fonts/title graphics, otherwise I dug it. CG wasn't in the way, but it was noticeable. Maybe they're still working on that.

Shia was OK in Disturbia too.

Roffles at seeing the Roswell reference in the trailer. Maybe they should have titled this Indiana Jones and the Close Encounter Of The Third Kind
