Looks like de-aged Indy is going to save amerikkka from a 9/11 style attack on NYC during V-E day that the ancient greeks predicted with the Antikythera mechanism or something

    i know the last one wasn't good but its a bit of a fumble to have not followed through on a younger lead like they were setting up. the two young people barely had lines in this you need young blood to support the dinosaurs

      Idk how true this is but I’ve heard that’s largely Harrison Ford’s fault. Dude refuses to pass on the Indy title and during Crystal Skull tried to kill any possible setup for a younger replacement

      Tarantino got in hot water for talking about how Hollywood is moving away from having movie stars, and towards having brands. The only reason Ford is in this at all is because he's somehow clinging to life, but when he dies you better believe we're going to get an Indiana Jones film every two years with a rotating stable of ex-Marvel actors who get paid a fraction of what a single actor with star power would have gotten paid.

        movie-star vs. franchise is such a false conflict oh yeah lemme defend the multimillionaire from the multimillion company. just engagement-driving Discourse to keep people talking about capeshit 24/7

        Do Not under any circumstances talk about intellectual property law or labor rights---its movie stars & "autuer directors" vs. the Studios, got it?

          That's part of what also makes every CGI debate so obnoxious, it's discussed as an personal artistic issue when it's entirely rooted in the lack of labor rights.

    "I don't believe in Magic."

    :doubt:

    Jokes aside it looks pretty good...although I thought the same thing about Crystal Skull also. I am really glad James Mangold is doing this over Spielberg.

        Right? Reminds me of a moment from Batman Beyond.

        There's a "ghost" haunting Terry's highschool and causing a ruckus and Bruce immediately jumps the assumption its most likely someone pretending to be a ghost (they find out it is) and this exchange happens:

        Terry: I Should have known you wouldn't believe in ghosts.

        Batman: What? Of course I do. Not just ghosts. I've seen everything kid. Demons, Angels, Sorcerers, witches, magical creatures, you name it. This...just...feels too highschool to be legit.

    Why does every shot in this look like it was taken from a video game cut scene?

    It's not what you believe. It's how hard you believe it.

    I think what you believe is actually kind of important, but it certainly looks like this movie will capture the spirit of our times in the worst possible way.

    Harrison ran out of planes to crash so he has to go back to work.

      You know he needs the money when they've got him in a costume instead of the Blade Runner 2049 t shirt.

      looks kinda bad. the music was the worst part imo, Hollywood needs to stop doing that "slowed down nostalgic tune" bullshit, it fucking sucks.

    turning a big dial that says "Destiny" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

    Why do movies not look like movies anymore. I can't explain it, but even non-capeshit nowadays looks like it was filmed on an iPhone.
