New Indiana Jones Will Be an "Old Fashioned" Film

[Casual Shinji]

Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko was no Bellog.

There I said it.

***

Here's my argument against the "campy B-movie" alabi:

Argument 1:
(circa 2008) Hey guys it's Steven Spielburg and George Lucas here. For almost thirty years we've been trying to create an Indiana Jones that resembles a campy B-movie and have had no such luck. Well we discovered what we've been doing wrong all this time, and now we're going to remove any moment where characters have conflicting feelings! Remember when Indiana Jones was about to destroy the arc to prevent the Nazis from gaining its power, only to hold back? Nothing like that will be happening in this story. Remember the scene where Short Round had to burn his mentor and father figure Indiana in order to wake him from the "Black Sleep of Kali Ma"? We won't be having any of that. Remember when Indiana tried to grab the holy grail until his father told him to "let it go"? Those naughty moments won't be happening.

We know that you will enjoy this much closer rendition of a campy B-movie as we have gotten rid of anything that would have made it better.

Well said.

People that say Indy 4 was good because it was suppose to be a crappy B-movie need to realize that while the idea for the first movies started out as an homage to the campy pulp stories of the 20's, it became so much more. It became a movie with it's own heart and soul.

And Indy 4 just crapped all over it.

Being an odd numbered film and not using too much CGI might not be enough. They need Nazis to fight.

True. Indie fights Nazi's, that's what he does best. The second film vanished into obscurity because, among other things, there weren't Nazis.

The first one, Nazis got their faces melted off. The third one, Hitler signed his dad's diary and they got their heads cut off. Other than monkey brains and a short Chinese kid, I can't recall a whole lot about Temple of Doom.

The Crystal Skull is even more of a blur and again... no Nazis!

Thank god. Looks like there still might be hope for this franchi-

"Shia LaBeouf has a central role again as Indy's son"

Whoops, silly me. Never mind, then.

 

[AxelxGabriel]

I honestly didn't think 4 was as bad as people said it was. I mean, if the last 3 dealt with GODS, was Aliens really that far fetched?

In any case, If they say they are doing old style filming then Ill definitely give it a watch.

Man, I hate that guy. He's always getting in my movies with his "NoNoNoNoNo" and his stupid face.

Why is he even in movies? His only plus point is his real world comments.

 

[Falseprophet]

I enjoyed Crystal Skull. It's a good film. It's not as good as Last Crusade or Raiders of course, but it's MUCH better than Temple of Doom.

As a matter of fact, I found Shia's greaser self at least mildly amusing in Crystal Skull, even if it wasn't all that necessary. On the other hand, Temple of Doom gave us Willie.

Oh dear god every ounce of my unending hatred upon that worthless whore.

I was disappointed by Crystal Skull. But I didn't hate LaBeouf in it--I thought the writing and directing failed epically despite the often noble attempts by the actors to salvage it. Of course, that was before LaBeouf's face was friggin' everywhere.

You know what? I've got an idea. Train the hell out of Mr. LaBeouf. Seriously, give him the kind of break-your-back training the stars of The Matrix got. Set aside ten minutes for plot. Then give us Indy and his son brutalizing Nazis for 90 minutes. Throw in two fights on a train, one in a zepplin, and one on a burning boat. No, it won't be a masterpiece, but it'll be damn fun to watch, and a safer bet than simply trying to 'fix' the mistakes of number 4 by removing CG.

Flame Bait, Flame Bait, Flame Bait went the siren as the vehicle sped blisteringly fast past an 8 year old boy whose favourite adventure movies were now being milked like an old cow ready to be treated well in her retirement until a childish boy said "i want moar nuking of fridges...
that was my favorite part on the entire quadrilogy." The 8 year old boy died, the cow died and the metaphor died

*snip*

Pretty much my feelings on it.

Aliens are dumb but melting faces, voodoo dolls and 2000 year old knights are just fine and dandy. Yeah...

It's certainly not the best indy movie, but neither is it as bad as Temple of Doom, which I just found annoying.

 

[GrinningManiac]

In my eyes, all Shiea did wrong was three things

1) have a silly name
2) be associated with Transformers
3) that DAMN monkey-swinging scene

Other than that, it was a perfectly enjoyable film, and I look forward to more (especially knowing that it's impossible to have swinging monkeys WITHOUT 3D)

I did it all by myself and teacher was so proud she gave me a smiley sticker and i got extra mash for tea for being so good

condescending prick

 

[theSovietConnection]

I mean, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It wasn't nearly as bad as folk made it out to be.

Why is this so hard to believe?

Because people either can't see past nostalgia, or never truly 'got' what Indiana Jones was about: A tribute to the campy, over-the-top 1920s adventure comics with the all-American rugged hero. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fits perfectly into that mold. People love the Ark causing heads to explode, but decry the nuked fridge. People love the guy ripping out a man's heart (and the man still being alive) and voodoo dolls, but scream about inter-dimensional beings.

I'll admit that Indy 4 wasn't as good number 1 or 3, but I'd put it on par with number 2.
And I can't wait for number 5!

I have to agree. People just need to get over the fact that their opinions evidently don't match that of the majority, whether they like it or not.

OT I can't wait. Looking forward to some more Indy.

 

[Calvar Draveir]

The fourth one was NOT as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It just wasn't good enough.

 

[Dr. Awesome Face]

spielberg. lucas. please please please PLEASE come up with NEW ideas rather than expanding on great trilogies. The prequels gave us a tonne of angst and midiclorians and the pathetically aweful Jar Jar Binks. [NERDRAGE] Kingdom gives us Shia FUCKING LaBeouf, Indiana Jones in a fridge and a whole bunch of out of place aliens. I still count Kingdom among shitty movies I want nothing to do with like Twilight.

For the love of great Atheismo think of soomething new you tired old fools![/NERDRAGE]

At least they've given up on the CGI

 

[Kuchinawa212]

If it's old indy again or Mutt plays a even larger role...I dunno. I may not see this one then

 

[matthewemz]

Oh jesus not again! They're making another one! More franchise slaughter!
