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

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Did Ford ever return to filming?

He's more CGI now than man. Twisted and rubbery.

He faked the injury when he read the full script and left quietly hopping no one would notice he's gone. I forgot he was gone too until you blew his escape plan.

Lucasfilm hijacking their own franchise?

There is almost zero commonality between the Lucasfilm that produced the OT and the Lucasfilm of the past near-decade. People, structure, outlook, approach: everything is 100% different.

There are a lot of brands/companies today that have zero relation to the same named brand as it existed in the past or distant past - they simply share a name and legal rights to products that derive from the historical products. In some cases the brand even ceased to exist for a long time before being ressurected. But in many cases to say it is the same company that created the iconic product/s, even if they share the same logo (as most do - it's a brand after all,) is false.

Well said TaliBane. You'd think that blacks represented 70-80% of the US population based on current television advertising, lol.

That scene still works because he's technically a robot. It's like the CGI in the Matrix, it can look a little rubbery and unnatural because they're technically in a virtual world. Not dated at all!

I guess so...

Ford could be a robot underneath for all we know...

It's not the years, it's the lack of puncture repair kits.

Bringing up politics is a no-no. Keep that BS off the board.

Thread cleaned and closed until further notice.

Edit:

Keep the political BS out of here.

Thread reopened.

Oh dear. Don't watch if you don't want spoilers.

[Otomofan]

Oh, that plastic-helmeted ******* again?

Hasn't he lost all credibility since every one of his Star Wars "INSIDE SOURCES" proved to be 100% ice cream?

I have no doubt this movie will suck, but there's no need to pretend to know about it beforehand for youtube clicks.

Temple of doom is still enjoyable film

 

[Mondragon]

Don't know who he'll play, (friend or foe?)
https://variety.com/2021/film/news/antonio-banderas-indiana-jones-5-harrison-ford-1235021085/This headline reminded me of your terrific image and pairing of figures...

(obviously not Zorro),, yet ...hopefully Banderas is some similarly inclined time worn adventurer, maybe a rival for the prize (whatever that may be this time)
For who they can work in a rival whip standoff scene;

disarming

Or precarious swing and getaway.

And a good horse chase scene...

Much of Indiana Jones was straight homage to some of the Zorro cliffhanger serials, some even thematically contemporaries of Indiana Jones (see Zorro Rides again), which were a huge influence on Lucas and Spielberg.
Although I hope Banderas' character is an ally, or a friendly rival, or even if he's the villain, hope he can somewhat homage that.

Apparently Banderas let slide the answer to this (and more). When pressed if he was the villain, he said no he plays a good guy, ....won't spoil the rest but its out there.

He is WAY TO OLD to be wearing that costume……

Holy crap basket!

 

[jye4ever]

Even with looking like an old man about to be admitted into a nursing home he still looks better than all of those dorks lol

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The guy in the Henry Jones costume is not bad tho.

Almost like he's been forced to wear it. I imagine the paycheck helps.

Perhaps Indy should be dressings more like his father used to dress at this point. Keep the hat, skip the rest and just wear a suit or something. It might be more age appropriate.
