Henry B 50 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If it was Spielberg (I haven't read the article) he was probably referring to ToD as only a half-solid entry into the franchise.He's gone on record saying he didn't like ToD much before. In fact, on the 2003 DVD set, he says something to the effect of the only good lasting thing coming out of that film was meeting his wife.I've heard he even made Last Crusade as an apology for Doom. It was accused of being racist against Indians around the time of its release. Funny if you ask me, since it's pretty well received now.I don't see any disingenuity in the portrayal of the village Indians, but the palace dwellers are pretty dubious. Chilled monkey brains? Jeez.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Whoever it was that said the Raiders March felt awkward in the trailers couldn't be more wrong. It sounds even better in this tv spot now that they have updated it with the theme's reprisal statement and the goosebumps it just gave me couldn't be any more appreciated.

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 ToD remains to this day a superior summer blockbuster of the quality the likes of Transformers and The Mummy can only ever dream to be.Yes it is. It's one of the more pleasant and fun movie going experiences I've had. I went opeing weekend and I remember the whole audience was into the film the entire way thru.

Delorean90 42 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Holy crap! I freakin' love that new bit! "Come on, genius." Classic! Those shots, along with some of the warehouse scene, have my favorite shots in the look and feel so far. That shot of Indy pulling the rope literally looks like a cleaner shot from TOD or Raiders.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 If it survives Lucas last minute editing tinkering and Ben Burtt secretly sneaking into the mixing studio at night to turn up the volume of the sound effects,were in for a good time I think.

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Why should Lucas do any editing, he's not the director. I think we should be more afraid of Burtt wanting to leave the Indy saga with a bang.I never got the impression from anywhere that it was Indy's son - just some kid who gets caught up in it.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 If the sound effects need turning up then so be it. The purpose of Indy IV is to serve the audience in the best, most optimised way possible and not just to please the handful of die-hard Williams fans sitting in the corner of the theatre.In fact the effect of the sfx in the sole hands of a film music fan in a film like this would be disastrous.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 In the Star Wars OT and original Indy films the music is loud enough that you can hear every note and FEEL the music yet the SFX and dialogue and SFX are loud enough. Then you have the Potter films and SW prequels where JW's music is barely audible.I am not sure why Williams is targetted in this bad mixing in recent years (since Seven Years in Tibet),all MV/Zimmer scored films have music loud to the point of giving you a headache.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 EDIT: My bad, you guys are talking about the films themselves and not the score albums.With that said, I still trust the professionals to mix the sound and score correctly over the bigoted views of a few JW fanatics.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Shore's music was mixed as loud in the films as going to a film music concert .THAT is why it became so popular and won 2 Oscars. In PoA even in a music only scene (Buckbeak's Flight) ,you got very timid volume of Williams cue (like you had to strain to hear it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
