Found this on my feed.  I like the satisfied feeling of it.  (although his jacket is wrong)

 

 

There's @Yavar Moradi's Short Round cameo.

I feel like the possibility of it being shitty has always been a part of anticipating this.

I guess I meant all the baggage (ie fans always bringing up their shit opinions on the shit movies) when a franchise has a bad outing. It's just so hard to avoid. The same ole boring takes. Even if they are correct.

 

It's like I have my problems with crystal skull but they left my mouth the car ride home in 2008...ya know what I mean?

Especially now people just keep repeating same arguments (like how the TLJ discourse is still going even though everything that can be said about it has been)

Yeah exactly. It's 2023 and I still see Twitter reply guys saying "aliens shouldn't exist in Indiana Jones" or whatever 

 

Like whoaaaa!!! What a hot take!!!

I wouldn’t keep trashing TLJ if people would stop inexplicably singing its praises. It’s a terrible Star Wars story and a complete wet fart of a movie on its own merits.

I’m not a fan of Crystal Skull, but I never understood this complaint. Ark of the Covenant wraiths and the existence of Kali are believable, but aliens are too hard to accept? Ok.

you're acting like the prequels don't exist

 

star wars seems to have so many 'wet farts' that it might as well be pants filled with shit at this point. Either change the pants or just sit in the shit. (Pinterest quote or something)

 

Star wars was never going to have more than 1 or 2 "critically acclaimed" movies. Ever.  I mean just look at the movie title: star. wars. Its the same with Indy.

Good advice. I could be giving myself hemorrhoids while trying to express the depths of my disenchantment.

It's not a question of verisimilitude, it's a question of tone and aesthetic.  You had three movies that were rooted in religious mysticism, and it gave the films a certain tone, with a mix of Haggard, Kipling, Victorian Exploration, Humphrey Bogart cool, with 1930's serials thrown in the mix, with villains that mostly fit with this sort of quest for mystical artifacts. And then you have a McGuffin that's tied to a very different era, Roswell and sci-fi b-movies and so on. It just doesn't feel part of the same series. Everything starts to clash and not mix very well. Even Indiana's attire doesn't seem to fit.

 

And when I saw that flying saucer, with a design straight out of an Ed Wood movie, I knew this wasn't working.

 

It's far from being the movies only problem. But it is part of it

[Bellosh 3,403]

I'm just glad that when the saucer took it off they had Indy be the ONLY one in the shot to watch it take off.

 

Indy seeing a UFO take off is just another "notch" in his belt of things he's experiencied.

 

The saucer was the best part tbh. Wish we never saw the 'interdimensional beings" and just the saucer. Might have been more powerful.

When I first started to lurk here, I was so amazed about other people asking the same questions about cues. It was like finding this magical place you never knew existed.

 

I didn't have a smartphone at the time. So at my first job out of college I'd print out multiple threads at my works printer and would go take a shit while reading the forum on printed pages.

 

Amazing times.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read on this forum😂😂😂😂😂

[Jay 37,336]

That is hilarious and amazing!

[Jurassic Shark 12,051]

The funny thing is he still does it!

[Andy 4,117]

His workplace had to order reams and reams of replacement paper so he could get caught up on "Who's the Sexiest Celebrity These Days?" and "The Star Wars Disenchantment Thread?"

 

I do believe he had an unfair mindset advantage on "Describe Your Latest Bowel Movement With a Song Title"

I have no problem with the aliens. I have a problem with it not being a good movie. If they had been able to make a movie about Indy finding 1950s style flying saucers that was as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark? How awesome would that have been?

The idea of that Star Wars thread existing in hard copy gives me the shakes.

[Bellosh 3,403]

i would legit roll them up and stuff them in my back pocket....so it looked like it was 'work-related' but if anyone ever saw me, they would have known my position at the job did NOT require anything of that sort! 

 

i'll never forget reading the indy concord set threads!!  it was surreal to see OTHER people worrying about if we get the british relief cue.

Considering this happened before smartphones were popular and the SW Disenchantment thread began in 2018 in the aftermath of The Last Jedi, I think it was more likely he was reading endless discussions about The Hobbit trilogy.

Are you sure you're not John Williams? Because I'm pretty sure his assistant prints out JWFan threads for him to read too.

Well, even John Williams needs some entertainment while taking a dump, and what can be more entertaining than reading the SW Disenchantment thread?

New poster

 

[Andy 4,117]

I like the Austrian poster better. 

[Bellosh 3,403]

its a great poster.  although indy's facial expression and eyes....i'm not digging

[Jay 37,336]

Yea everything on the poster is good except his face

[Luke Skywalker 1,794]

Shame we will never have a struzan poster

 

i dont like the title font and color either.

They’re hiding his face on all the posters.

[Jurassic Shark 12,051]

You guys just need to accept that Indy has an old face now.

[Brónach 1,302]

this movie is going nowhere

[Edmilson 7,426]

I think the poster is okay, kinda like a cross between your average MCU poster and the old Indy arts from Struzan.

[Romão 2,274]

I really do not like that poster. Even the games had way better poster art than that

[Andy 4,117]

Computers killed the nuances of illustration, and marketing trends killed creative compositions. 
 

it’s a poster. 

[Alex 2,835]

Wow, I wouldn’t read the cast list on that poster if you want to avoid spoilers. How strange that they included it there.

International poster, maybe for China?

 

 

Why is Indy's face being obscured in almost every poster?

It's kind of a Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible thing. He's so distinctive you don't need to see his face.

I feel like they've missed a huge opportunity for a poster with both young/deaged Indy alongside his older self, like a mirrored reflection or something stylised. I dunno.

But his cgi face ridding a horse can be seen in the trailer…

I swear, some people just need everything spelled out to them.

 

Who watches The Last Crusade and not realize its...not a conclusion, but a farewell. I'm not even talking about the closing shot, but also the fact it starts with a flashback to Indy's childhood, that it deals with his father (whose James Bond), its called THE LAST Crusade: anything and everything about it screams "final entry."

 

But some people really needed that "The End" title there.

Yes, it is.  Don't you remember at the conclusion of the end credits, Indy is in a bathrobe telling everyone its over and to go home?

yeah, plus Harrison was pushing his age in Temple and is too old in this one. if anything, the only thing that doesn't work in that sense is that it feels like you're missing some adventures. instead you get the pilot, the weird episode, and suddenly it's over.
