Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30th, 2023)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

They were only wrong once.

EDIT: Twice... I just double-checked.

Not bad.

My guess, License to Kill and The Spy Who Loved Me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The two were:

At the end of Spy, it said: James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only... and of course it was Moonraker.

And at the end of Octopussy it said: From A View To A Kill... and the "From" was incorrect.

On AVTAK and after, it always said simply James Bond will return

I was surprised to learn that at the end of Thunderball they didn't tease the next movie.

They always say there's "a sequel in the making" when a film is released, especially if there's resistance to it. It's a little lie to 'prove' the movie must be good if its getting a sequel.


Indy 6 - Indiana Jones and the Hunt for his Grave

Cruela 2 was announced while Cruela 1 was bombing at the box office lol

Maybe they weren't sure Sean Connery was coming back. Which is strange, because I believe Thunderball was one of the biggest hits in the franchise.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I had the same thought. He was certainly complaining by Thunderball.

They were only wrong once.

Sounds like a good title for a Bond flick, lol.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I thought They Were Only Wrong Twice was better, but when you think about it, "Once" makes more sense than "Twice". Although, Bond gets captured a lot, so...

 

[Wor-Gar]

"You're only wrong twice, Mr. Bond."

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I read that with an Asian accent for some reason.

 

[jye4ever]

“They were only wrong once” should be a term used for any sky diver whose parachute didn’t open.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is that supposed to be a little "tee-hee" Asian emogi?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Is that supposed to be a little "tee-hee" Asian emogi?

No.

That would be racist.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Just having some fun with the new emojis

 

[Wor-Gar]

Speaking of racist...

I just got my 4K Indy Quadrilogy set.... RAIDERS is awesome! So crisp and clean. From the first shot, you can see the grain cleaned-up, the sky is bluer, the colors deeper and shadows darker. Really looks great!

The original bluray was brightened... but now Marion's bar doesn't look so much like a movie set because its much darker. I do see some green tint in the original bluray now that I have something to compare -- the opening shot again makes it clear -- but its gone now, though I didn't notice it throughout. The "warmth" has been cooled off too it seems but that might just have been that the old one's brightness being jacked up was making things seem 'hot'.

I can't wait to watch Temple now because of all the movies its colors really pop.

 

[Khev]

Supposedly TOD looks the best of the bunch.

 

[jye4ever]

Nope KOTCS lol

 

[jye4ever]

I hope everyone took advantage of the LOTR 4K $60 price on those 2 Amazon Prime Days.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope everyone took advantage of the LOTR 4K $60 price on those 2 Amazon Prime Days.

Was there a trilogy for $60?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Nope KOTCS lol

If only I was going to watch it.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Three 4K films and a nice Indiana Jones drink coaster isn't a bad deal.
