Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

That's almost exactly the same name as the Indiana Jones ride at Tokyo DisneySea which has existed for years. Only different is that's called Temple of the Crystal Skull instead of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull... http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tds/english/7port/lostriver/atrc_indiana.html

Didn't we have a discussion about the 4 different possible names?

Or was that in the general movie anticipation thread?

[Reply #42 on:]

> Trailers thread.

Looks like FishyJoe won.

[Reply #43 on:]

With that title, they'd better give Michael Shanks a cameo, at the very least.

[Reply #44 on:]

Yay! Great title. I bet internet nerds hate it, though. Am I right? I haven't been following any of the popular entertainment message boards/blogs.

...and since it's set in the 1950s and numerous Nazis went there, we might get to see Indy dealing with them again.

Let's hope so.  Indy movies without Nazis tend to be notably inferior to those with Nazis.

[Reply #46 on:]

I agree. lets hope so!

I wish you guys could come over and argue with my roommate.  He intensely believes that Temple of Doom was the greatest Indiana Jones film and will vehemently argue with anyone who believes otherwise.

[Reply #48 on:]

Was he dropped as a child?

[Reply #49 on:]

Then repeatedly knocked about the head as an adolescent?

If not he should be!

Crusade.

Doom.

Raiders is a superior film because it has the guy who jumps out of nowhere swinging his swords about - then gets shot in the face. On these grounds alone, it deserves first place.

Seriously?  You know what happens when I see a 50s-esque science fiction movie.  I have to heckle it.  I can't help myself.  I try to keep my sanity with the help of my robot friends.

Cate Blanchett as Soviet agent. ROFL!

It makes you think that they are trying to divert the audience's attention away from old Indy.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull trailer!!

[Reply #55 on:]

That... looked awful. I'm very disappointed.

edit- I retract this statement.

[Reply #56 on:]

your face looks awful

[Reply #57 on:]

im glad harrison ford hasnt shattered his whole body yet. i love that guy! 

[Reply #58 on:]

How the fuck does that look awful? It looks exactly like the first three movies. They were never exactly works of art, just really, really entertaining.

I don't see how, "You're a teacher?"
"Part time."
Is all that much cheesier than, "No ticket." Or Hitler signing Dr. Jones' journal.

I didn't have a problem with that, it was mostly the scene with the trucks that rubbed me the wrong way. Too much gratuitous whipping and a poor joke, I thought. Watching it again a few times, though, it doesn't look nearly as bad, so I retract my previous statement.

[Reply #63 on:]

Damn right you retract. *shakes fist*

Looks great, seems that Indy can still take whats dished out, maybe not as much but still.

[Reply #64 on:]

Wohoo!

However, Cate Blanchett still looks silly. 
She is simply no Toth material.

More like "relating to a generation that only likes pussies like Shia LeBoof."

Did anyone else see Karen Allen?

[Reply #66 on:]

Poor Indy. Marketers think he needs to have a greatest hits trailer in order to get yahoos in the seats come movie time. :single tear:

"Remember this guy?
"Remember that time with burning books? Well He SAVED all those MF books, ya'll. You don't see Rambo doin' shit like that, no sir. You gotta get this dude to do that, yo. Okay, you still don't get it? Um, remember that time he went to the Goblet store? He didn't have a lot of money, so he had to buy the cheap clay one. Seriously, Harrison Ford really needs you to come see this little movie of his. Calista needs to eat! He's only a part time teacher. Do you understand what kind of salary a part time teacher makes?  Okay okay, look here's a modern-day-River Phoenix for ya. Maybe he'll take off his shirt, ladies. It gets pretty hot in the desert, am I right?"

[Reply #67 on:]

I guess Lucas should have handed the advertising stuff to you, VF.

Yeah, looks like she has a real role in this one.
 

[Reply #68 on:]

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

[Reply #69 on:]

HAHAHAHA, the US trailer is edited...
weapons pointed at indy are edited out and the US flag in the beginning (after showing the old movies) is edited in
as a result from the 1st you can see soldiers appearing from thin air and even the pants of Mac look weird if you pay attention

left: international | right: US

[Reply #70 on:]

*faints*

Good trailer. No complaints. Shia is like soooo hot!

Just to show how much of an obsessed dork I am, I will point out that I've actually had several dreams about seeing Indy 4 over the past 15 years or so. What a thrill to finally see it happen in real life.

He's always been in a lush green environment in my dreams, as opposed to the dusty/desert-ey type look featured in his two best movies. Usually the movie ends up being boring and forgettable, and I forget what it was about minutes after seeing it. Hopefully that part won't come true.

[Reply #71 on:]

thanks for leaving out the part where you have hot steamy sex with Harrison Ford

[Reply #72 on:]

Spoiler tags, VF!  You've given away the best part!

[Reply #73 on:]

Less than a month to go, people! This is crazy!

I love all of the marketing tie-ins. I haven't checked any toy aisles lately so I'm not sure if they have any action figures yet. But the cereal and soft drinks and stuff are great.

Right now I am drinking a can of Diet Dr. Pepper with Harrison Ford's sexy silhouette on it. Earlier this morning I had a bowl of Indian Jones-branded Corn Pops, with a archaelogical light-up spoon(with a spider design!) that came free inside it.



Even if this movie ends up being bad, at least I can say that I had the priveledge of making my son wear a baseball cap like Short Round and pose next to an Indiana Jones/cheez-it display.

[Reply #74 on:]

Fishy, you are the best dad ever!  Let no psychotherapist ever tell your children otherwise.

I agree about the moichandising.  It's like being a kid, only this time no one can stop you from making goofy decisions.  Like when Burger King had those Pokemon toys when I was in high school.  I've still got about 50 of those bad decisions in a box somewhere.

[Reply #75 on:]

I CANNOT wait for this next sequel...

Ha, what the?!
So us International people enjoy gun violence more than US citizens? Stats say otherwise.

[Reply #77 on:]

It's gun nonviolence American audiences are not accustomed to.  Also, it might just mean foreigners are more comfortable with their authorities pointing guns at them than Americans.

[Reply #78 on:]

Either that or they're not taken from the same exact shot.

[Reply #79 on:]

I am looking forward to the new film and Harrison Ford still looks hot
