The INDIANA JONES Thread

[DarkArtist81]

Have to agree with you on that, been a member there for a long time, it's a great resource for the Indy fanatic and to chat with other Indy fans. Found alot of stuff on there that I wouldn't have anywhere else as well.

Same here... just joined the Raven message board over there too... Great site and an awesome community.

And thanks as well, HigHurtenflurst for the distressing info! I was just wondering how in the Hell to distress the leather. I don't want to overdo it, seeing as though I spent a lot of cash on that jacket and it is so very nice.

 

[Trevolver]

Glad you dig it Josh! And that's nice of your mom to say too! I've definitely taken on the challenge with a great deal of care. I look forward to improving it further and getting you guys the best Indy likeness I can.

Yeah, Trev.... that sculpt is damn nice.. I can't wait to stand the SSC figure right next to mine on the shelf and I also can't wait to repaint it either!

I dig it a lot! It's a real masterpiece IMO.

 

[HigHurtenflurst]

Thank you HigHurtenFlurst! I appreciate it!

I'd like to kill the sheen of my jacket, and get the seams a bit distressed like you mentioned. I hadn't counted on acetone, but that's a cool tip. I'd be loath to do too much to it. I love the thing! thanks again!
Trev

No, thank you, Mr. Trevolver, for that awesome Ford sculpt! Been waiting forever for someone to do justice to my favorite character of all time!

I too am trying to round up an Indy outfit. I already have the hat, gun belt, holster and whip holder on the way, but I just can't find the Alden boots at a decent price. I'm sort of on a budget. Here are some at the Magnoli Clothiers: https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28_32&products_id=54&osCsid=3df347704d963b34cec2417df1b30045

I even have the perfect Last Crusade Webely Mark VI in mind: https://www.westernstageprops.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WSP&Product_Code=IJG1

I'm going to get the bag from Magnoli. The jacket there is too much, so are the shirt and pants. I need to look into this Indyjacket site some more.

If you guys know of anyplace I can get some imitation boots or something, please let me know.

the jackets are top notch all the way. i have another jacket that wested has produced and i cant describe how awesome they are with custom tailoring. and as far as screen accurate goes: he's the guy who made the ones for ALL the movies including the new one.

 

[Mr. Fusion]

Thanks, Hairlesswookiee. I can't wait to get that Wested jacket. I hope I can afford it soon... as if I haven't gone over my budget as it is.

By the way, that's an interesting screename. I like interesting.

Oh, back to the IndyGear forum, what does it mean by "FREE EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE"? I have Netscape (AOL) mail. It's free, I think... is that unacceptable? I'm a little confused.

yeah they have some weird protocol for registering emails. its got to be for preventing spamming, i think if you just email the admin they'll accept whatever you use.

Slashfilm reports that Lucasfilm has filed for six different titles for the fourth "Indiana Jones" feature with the Motion Pictures Association of America. The six that are apparently being officially considered as titles for the fourth film are:

"Indiana Jones and the City of Gods"
"Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds"
"Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth"
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
"Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold"
"Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant"

The first, "Indiana Jones and the City of Gods," has long been the rumoured working title for the production (and arguably the best of the batch, though like 'Destroyer' and 'Quest' as well myself). Should no other objections be raised, the studio will be clear to use any of these titles in two weeks.

 

[galactiboy]

So are all these titles filed to throw people off, or are these all components of the story?

One thing thats funny about Lucas sequel titles is they always seem really cheesey and terrible when you first hear them, but they really grow on you and become great after awhile. I remember groaning when I first heard "The Phantom Menace" but damned if it didn't turn out to be a great title

 

[IrishJedi]

I still don't care for "The Phantom Menace", though it is a better title than "Attack of The Clones".

At least he got "Revenge of The Sith" right. Nailed that one.

 

[tomandshell]

I think that if they announced "Temple of Doom" as the title today, then we would all be moaning and groaning about it.

Even if I don't initially like some of those proposed titles, they do have the feel of old serial adventures and they all seem like something that Lucas would choose for the series.

 

[Wor-Gar]

"Destroyer of Worlds" addresses the A-bomb story line.

Strange that the "covenant" is back in title...

Does anyone think that, in the movie, the government secretly studied the ark that they hid in 1936 and as a result we have the A-bomb? Is that a possible story line here?

Not really. The MacGuffin has more to do with the "City of Gods" and "Cyrstal Skull" mentions than the A-Bomb itself.

Ever read "Chariots of The Gods"? Well, if so then you can pretty much piece it together.

I saw the movie Chariots of the Gods, but that was a long time ago.

What do you think it's about based on Crystal Skull and City of Gods?

You know, Central American pyramids and artifacts that deal with ancient astronauts that may or may not be "gods" and responsible for technology and events throughout human history.

Let's put it this way... it's not exactly "The Saucermen From Mars" but Harrison Ford's age and the Cold War element aren't the only reasons why Lucas set this film in the late '50s.

I can't say anymore than that without giving away THE MacGuffin and huge parts of the plot, but you should get the idea now.

Sounds a bit X-File-y. I'm curious how they'll resolve this one... no ancient Knight or haunting spirits... could Indy "make contact"?

I do remember that crystal skull now.

Hey, IrishJedi....how can I get one of those cool John Rambo posters from you? I had asked you earlier, but you didn't reply to me. Please send me a PM about it. I appreciate it. I'm a big fan of Indy, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Rocky...and Rambo. I have tried finding the John Rambo poster like that on eBay...but no one has it yet. Get back to me ASAP! I appreciate it!

Hey! I didn't see your other post about it (sorry, must have missed it) but I'll answer here...

The answer is that it's not a real JOHN RAMBO poster and it doesn't exist. I needed something to represent the flick in my signature so I just did up a teaser "poster" myself in Photoshop. I had no idea it worked that well. Sorry for the confusion, though!
