It'll be on digital earlier, Guardians 3 is out this Friday.
As I recall when this was announced we had a field day in this thread suggesting titles in the vein of Indiana Jones And I've Fallen And Can't Get Up. It rivaled the BoBF thread for a while there lol.
I think my favorite back then was Indiana Jones And The Search For….What Am I Looking For This Time Again?Good times.
Dude it has an 88% audience rating on rottentomatoes. 88%! That means that...*checks box office*...there's about 88 of us that enjoyed it, lol.
Okay Mr. Serious thank you for pointing that out even though I was literally acknowledging those exact same details with my joke, lol.As I said, (even if RT is real - we all saw what happened with TLJ), the simple fact is, not enough people are giving a **** about it, hence why it's going to be the greatest loss in Hollywood history.
So if you, and many others here like it, that's cool. But you're in a very small boat. The majority of the general public seem to be ambivalent about it's existence.
Super Mario Bros!The Flash bombed, The Little Mermaid bombed, now Indy bombs... what's done well?
Yes he does!In the meantime, Mads Mikkelsen rocks!
You too!Happy 4th!
It's a somewhat dated (and culturally fraught in the era of museums as demeaning culture prisons) franchise with, bizarrely, an 80 year old actor as an action-adventure lead. Who looks great, but also looks at least early 70s.As I said, (even if RT is real - we all saw what happened with TLJ), the simple fact is, not enough people are giving a **** about it, hence why it's going to be the greatest loss in Hollywood history.

Indy is a bygone era's take on another bygone era. Raiders appeared in a period where even the hottest, edgiest music videos often had retro 30s/40s/50s imagery and fashion - romance and cool. Those decades today are, obviously with some justification, mostly viewed today by young people simply as dark periods of intolerance (toward women, black people, non-western cultures, etc.) best ridiculed or simply forgotten.
DoD was always going to be undetectable on the radar of Gen TikTok and even Gen MySpace, and even if it was detectable, it wouldn't appeal. They have no nostalgia for Indy's eras, and the 1960s has long been perhaps the most overused setting decade in all of film/TV (nearly always - often falsely - shown simply as a rose-colored glasses period of righteous rebellion and freedom), so it's a mile from fresh.
This film is part of the end of the several decades-long wave of nostalgia for the products of the "neo-golden" age of cinema, where film, pop culture and merchandising collided and deeply impacted a generation and a half, from the early 70s to the mid-late 80s.
Social media has introduced a kind of deep social fracture era that Indy - a symbol of American good/righteousness/tenaciousness in the world - could never appeal in, even if recast. This is the era that would sympathize with Mola Ram (asking that we not judge his opaque cultural practices with Western eyes) and the Hovitos tribesman defending their stolen sacred object, and that - most importantly - sees Nazis as uneducated Americans, not sneering Germans from 80 years ago.
So time to pack up Indy and his world into a crate and send it into that massive warehouse filled with powerful but misunderstood cultural objects. Its value perhaps only to be apparent again in centuries to come.
In the meantime, Mads Mikkelsen rocks!
Happy 4th!

Umm, hey Marty - in that same year you're strummin that guitar and showing the black folk how to rock n'roll, Rosa Parks is refusing to move to the back of the bus - the civil rights and voting rights acts still a decade away.
Okay Mr. Serious thank you for pointing that out even though I was literally acknowledging those exact same details with my joke, lol.
Working with the Nazis and those damn British colonizers will defo age you strangely.Man Alison Doody the Irish actress who played Elsa from TLC looks horrible in RRR with all of that nasty face work, yuck.
She’s only 56 and already had a ton of work done sheesh.
