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.
