Popular Post saulocf 79 Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 The 10-15 minutes that starts with the waterfalls scene until the alien ship takeoff might be some of the most uninspired and boring final act that I’ve ever seen. That whole pyramid set is so nice visually and yet, completely wasted. artguy360, Edmilson, crumbs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chen G. 3,949 Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 3 hours ago, Nick1Ø66 said: The biggest problem with Crystal Skull however is Spielberg's utter disinterest and lack of passion for a project that he really didn't really want to do anyway, and it shows on the screen. But it was either George's dopey idea or nothing, and he & Ford finally relented. I didn't necessarily feel the direction was dispassionate: I actually enjoyed quite a few of the setpieces. My issues with the film with lay elsewhere and are probably more on the page than on the screen: sure, I have issues with the setpieces, with the peculiar choice of having aliens in it, with how long the bloody thing actually takes to really get going, and with the odd look of the film (and you'll recall that I'm not one to complain about films looking "too clean"). But my main issues with the film are probably more conceptual. To me, conceptually, the idea of not letting Indy ride into the sunset and stay there - which is about as perfect a farewell to a character as one could have ever asked for - was a flawed one, and was made all the more lamentable due to Ford's age. I really dislike this tendency to drag our dashing action heroes in their old age back into the fray: there's something miserable about it to me. Having setpieces that conclude with Indy surviving a nuclear explosion or a fall from a ridge in an SUV unscathed is bad enough (although Temple of Doom, which I'm not a huge fan of either, did those things too) but combined with Ford's age I spend much of the movie thinking "nevermind how you survived, Indy: how did you not throw your back out?!" There are just a few too many moments like that in the film for my liking. Then there's the general soapiness of the whole thing: Marion turning up as the estranged wife who becomes remarried with Indy, Mutt turning out to be her and Indy's son. If I felt more privvy to the inner workings of the screenwriting process, I would be more than willing to hang this on Lucas who ever since 1980 had increasingly hinged his stories on familial ties, a tendency I found to be unbearably cheesy ever since. There are probably other flaws that slip from my mind: I only watched the wretched thing once.

I don't want to be that guy, but I hope KK didn't meddle too much with the story/characters.

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,287 Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2022 The only comparison I can make is that instead of dying at 75 in 2004, Jerry Goldsmith is still going, slows down to a movie every couple years, lives to do the Mulan remake or whatever in his 90s. And on one hand it's a cynical assignment, the movie is pointless, but still he does it, he'd done worse. It's kind of cool that they brought him back, and even though maybe it's not the most earth-shattering score, it's a solid Goldsmith at worst, 7/10 by his standards, 10/10 compared to everything else. New Goldsmiths are fewer and farther between, it's some light in 2020 and actually a mostly new score even though it references the original frequently. There's a big JWFan thread, some are "meh" on it, "he should have told them to fuck off." All I can say is the most rote Mulan 2020 by Jerry Goldsmith would make my listening life extra fun, and what if it was great? What if he announced it was probably the last one? Even the sheer mundanity of this scenario makes me wistful considering the Goldsmith-less reality I'm in. Hardly life-changing, but I would consider myself marginally lucky as a fan to be a couple years removed now from Jerry Goldsmith doing Mulan again for Di$ney and be able to just take that kind of bullshit for granted while he's around.

I have to say, in all honesty, yes. And i say this without any bitterness, it's more a broadview of popular cultural as such, where so called IP's and franchises are ridden to death because they sell, not because they are good, interesting or the creative personnel really wants to make them. I get everyone involved is getting a hefty paycheck to do this, and varying amounts of ego-stroking and, of course, marketing attention. And while i find it great that Williams now finds personal satisfaction in appearing all over the world for his final farewell tour, why he's wasting precious afternoons prepping stuff like this is really beyond my understanding. 4 hours ago, mrbellamy said: Hardly life-changing, but I would consider myself marginally lucky as a fan to be a couple years removed now from Jerry Goldsmith doing Mulan again for Di$ney and be able to just take that kind of bullshit for granted while he's around. Ad nauseam...James Horner did some respectable stuff in the last 5 years of his life, but i don't feel denied any great masterpieces by untimely loss of his (only talking about film work, of course, which he lamented himself). Same for Jerry (whose demonic hunger for work gave us more than could be expected even of someone double his lifespan), and we shouldn't forget that the marginalization of film music in recent years plays a big factor in sentimentalizing the better days, but every thing has its time and i don't find it particularly instructive to remain so tied to it. Let me put it this way, for some people, the ABBA arena in London is the best thing to happen in culture in recent years, while others just shake their head.

Popular Post blondheim 1,157 Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 I read an article about this. If I find it I will link it because I loved the points he raised and I don’t want to claim credit for them. The TLDR of the whole thing is that Spielberg had to deal with the fallout of the Twilight Zone incident since he was producing the movie. Apparently he had to step in and actually direct a segment to fill time after the section Landis directed had to be shortened. According to this article, he was involved in the trial and it weighed very heavily on him. That and Lucas’ divorce both happened around that time. The article theorized that the stress of having to be involved in the Landis trial, the death of the two Vietnamese children who should not have been on set that night, legally speaking, and the fallout from that is maybe what led him and Lucas (with his own dark period, this divorce) to lean into a much darker second installment all about the abuse and misuse of children. I like this theory a lot and I think it might explain why it feels so different from so many other Spielberg films from that time, more dangerous is how I put it before, because he clearly took a step back after 1941 and made sure he was editorializing and making his art accessible and most of all, commercial Andy, Brando and WampaRat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accident happened July 1982 (and around that time Lucas learned that his wife was going to leave him). By that time, however, the plot for Temple of Doom was firmly in place: the story conferences and story treatment happened in April 1982. And by July, the first draft was almost finished. All the elements of the final movie were there from the beginning. The accident (and Lucas' divorce) may have had an effect on the final result of the movie, with both Lucas and Spielberg being in a dark place, but it definitely didn't originate any story elements.

Forcing Morrow to run through waist-deep water carrying two children, at nearly 3am with pyrotechnics exploding and a helicopter circling, was complete insanity. Either way, Spielberg went through production on Doom with that incident lingering in his mind.

I always find attempts to read biographical anecdotes into an artist's work rather strenous, and this case is no exception. I actually think when it comes to Lucas, he would like us to read biographical details into his works, because he does suscribe to this idea that the artist writes about himself, and he believes this gives his pulpy films an added artistic pedigree. It serves the same function for him as all that talk about Joseph Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still my least favorite among the three Indy films, but I've really come to appreciate it, and judge it on its own terms rather than as a sequel to Raiders. The opening musical number, and the entire opening scene in fact leading up to the plane escape in particular, is fantastic. I've also come to like Willie Scott more, and now actually find her less annoying than Marion.
