I was a bit bummed out that Sallah went through all the trouble of taking his passport, but then Indy convinced him to stay in the States.
Bugger! So close!

Enjoy!
I'm looking forward to my second showing also.
Not sure when that will be, but can't imagine I'll wait too long.
And I'm very interested in the 4D version!

It’s 10:15 AM, I’m seeing my second viewing in 15 minutes!  Hope to wrap my mind around it and appreciate more of it this time. 

Oh thanks! 
 
Staff of kings had gout outof my radar, im glad it was released but sadly no in physical form 

Why not?
 
They must be rare.
A bit like real life Freak Waves at sea.
It took a LONG time before science managed to confirm the existence of those.
Before that they were just the stuff of legend; that occasionally killed a ship.
 
I also assume they must occur at ground level too.
Otherwise how could Archimedes have tested the Dial before?
 
So it wouldn't be found too quickly.
Help needed to come from FAR into the future.
 
I'm REALLY hoping for a good Novelization too.
This story could use more breathing space.
On the Dial, the villains and the finale.
 
I seem to recall they took the Dial back to the future.
Because Archimedes was needed to make his own version.
 
I was miffed at Mutt's death too.
Really didn't think that was called for.
 
Have to agree. We should've had more.
Thankfully we still have all the Novels.

No i never read the german novels, i would be interested in reading the english translations 😉😉

And now it will be a perfect time to release the unpublished rob mcgregor novel from Staff of kings…
 
Did anyone noticed that one of the body doubles for indy in 1944 was anthony ingruber? I was pleasantly surprised. Im glad for him though his performance is not noticeable… he should have been the protagonist in SOLO…

I went at 3:00 pm opening day. Theater was 30% full, mostly people over 50.

Agreed. It doesn't get more weighty than The Devil.

Yes! Impossible Planet/Satan Pit wrestles with some fairly weighty stuff. 

I know! The Pirate Planet!
 
(It's the first episode I remember seeing. Worked for me.)
 
But seriously (kinda): What shows does the "hard sci fi" person watch? Because honestly there's not a lot out there.
 
I generally tell people to start with The Eleventh Hour. But that might not work for your friend. The Pilot (Capaldi) would be my second choice.

Another show? (The Expanse is quite good.)

Agreed, it’s closer to fantasy than sci-fi most of the time IMO

I literally can’t think of a single hard sci-fi episode of new Doctor Who, it’s just not that kind of show

I don't think I've been aware of Sea of Thieves until now. Apparently it's some pirate-themed action-adventure MMO. In any case, they've just announced a Monkey Island themed expansion:

The title design from this is much better than the one on the official posters

Not my design, but that of the artist Tony Stella. 
 

The likes of this is exactly why I'm going to a 10:00 am screening tomorrow morning. For me nowadays when it comes to seeing 'big' movies, the smaller the amount of fellow patrons the better.  

Finaly I have a little time to write about the film and music. (I watched it on opening night...)

First of all, i have mixed feelings about both. When I got out of the cinema, i was somehow depressed. There is nothing wrong per se with the film and score... but although i have thought previously about it, seeing this film it truly dawned on me the fact that they could have been doing by the least an indiana Jones film a decade post- last crusade, and this film would be a great 6, 7 or 8 film. Ot ar least should have made another old indy film in the 2010s. The series is now so disjointed. We are missing so many adventures and years in between. In the end they made a film without spielberg and Lucas...which they could have started doing in the 90s. In this case its a shame it was not sold to disney then. We would have good and bad films, but at least we would have seen our hero age gradually.
 
About the score... I like everything, but the 1944 prologue left me saddened. I dont mind temp track love in the rest of the film, more times than not its reworked enough and this has happened several times before in williams works. In the prologue it seems a William Ross job. Like they said to him to compose the music using previously indy material. At least the pieces are masterfully intertwined and does not sound jarring. but sounds a little like a Lucascarts 90s videogame edits using williams music. i think Mcneely Phantom train of doom is better at reworking Williams pieces... I was expecting new music composed in the vein of the old indy scores, and it is a crime the last crusade nazi theme is not used at all. shame :(.
 
About the film... really they open the film in the damned Alps, and disney could not concede to Paramount the mountain logo fadeout? They did it the lucasfilm logo.... but it ruined the continuity of the other 4 films. I thought the young indy was perfect in some shots..but some were very weird and looked fake. I would have thought that with an extra year they could have been improving that.

The rest of the film is nice overall, I dont remember any jarring or unnecessary scenes. I liked williams finally recorded the short version of the indiana jones theme, without the marion theme interlude between two renditions of the theme. I loved the final scene with marion, it was so sad and lovely at the same time, you could feel these characters loss. If only Labeowuf had not been such a dick to spare them such grief (because they would not have killed his character, i mean :p)

The OST flows nicelly but i'm in KM's team. We need the rest of the music.
I wonder if Mandgold had been a Williams fan like us if he could have suggested to use Hitler's motif when Voller tells indy his objective in 1939 .. I would had. or used the last crusade nazi theme in the prologue... and so.
 
I expected indy to lose an eye here... to match young indy appearance... which makes me think... why dont they ask ford to shoot those old indy scenes in his actual self... and make the series alive again....

Would anyone here punch their 80 year old father/grandfather in the face?

They should’ve had Indy sit down on the battlefield and tell Helena, “Somewhere your Godgrandpa and Godbrother are laughing.”

I don’t agree that Indy should “as a man of science” realize on his own that he has to go back to the future. With the position the character is in, staying in the past is all he’d want to do. That said, I do agree that the punch is too much. If it were my script, I’d never send the characters to the past, but I’d also rather see Helena as the conflicted character at the climax. Then Indy can take his father’s place as the one who tells her to let the grail dial go.
