mstrox 6,651 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Found the thread:http://raven.theraider.net/showthread.php?t=23127Why do certain people keep referring to the Indiana Jones theatrical film series as "the franchise"? The misuse of this term has been noticeable since c.2007 and grown at an exponential rate ever since. Not only is the definition wrong, it's pretentious.Franchise is all about rights, permission and privilege. The 'franchise to vote' is a right to vote. Sports team franchises pay money to be allowed entry into their respective leagues. The James Bond film franchise has the license to use Ian Fleming's character and stories. Don't get me started with McDonald's and other fast food chains...The "Indy franchise" is NOT THE MOVIES (nor the TV show). The Bantam books are a franchise. The Marvel & Dark Horse comics are a franchise. The Mattel & Hasbro toys are a franchise, etc. because the character & branding were licensed by those 2nd party entities. This is not the case with the films. LUCASFILM OWNS INDIANA JONES (even if Disney now owns Lucasfilm) and do not need anyone's authorization to use the property. This is the distinction that many people fail to recognize when describing the 'Indy film series' as a franchise.Bunch of pedants over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The concept of spoiler consideration in this thread seems like a bit of an oxymoron by now. What few secrets and unknowns are left are bound to be harvested and debated here long before anyone has actually seen what is now more of an assignment for you people than a theatrical treat.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah....Most of us will go see it regardless. We will see it because its new Star Wars.

The entire picture actually feels cold. You can relate to it very easily. The prequels in many instances were beautiful to look at but they didn't have spark a feeling that could easily be related to.

Balahkay 627 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hmm, okay. Not even a little teaser poster? So, we'll probably see the trailer in late September or some time in October. November seems rather late. It seems obvious that we won't hear any music (aside from trailer music) until the soundtrack the released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,289 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah, November would be too late. I think we can probably assume that it'll be around the release of one of the next IMAX movies.

Giftheck 917 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 That walker looks... funny.Landers are no longer three-winged craft it seems.
