Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[HickMan]

I just got back from this movie. It was a disgusting shitpile. I'm so disgusted I'll talk to you all today about a movie I really enjoy.

Teen Wolf was a comedy filmed in 1985 featuring Michael J Fox, James Hampton, Susan Ursitti, and Jerry Levine. It's one of those movies that gets played on AMC rather frequently and no matter what part is on, I can sit down and enjoy the rest of the film.

Jerry Levine's character, Styles, won Maxim Magazine's 100 funniest movie t-shirts. He wore a simple black t-shirt with the writing "What are you looking at Dicknose". Followed closely by Revenge of the Nerd's Booger character wearing a shirt with "Gimme Head til I'm Dead" on it.

Michal J Fox's character, Scott Howard, is your typical awkward teenager who has typical teenager thoughts. Win over his crush, the lovely Pamela Wells, score big for his school's basketball team, and learn the fine art of acting. This all is very hard for a self proclaimed nobody until he finds out he comes from a long line of werewolves. At first, Scott takes this very hard and thought of it as a curse. But given some time he used his new found abilities to his advantage!

I don't want to spoil any more for you. So, go out and rent Teen Wolf today!

[Shrubfest]

THAT

is truly disgusting.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Meh. The whole thing regarding ALIENS!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! was pretty weak and stupid.

The pace of the movie was good, but the little things here and there ticked me off (the scene with Shia and the monkeys, that stupid refrigerator bullshit). At least Ford still kicks all kinds of ass.

Anyone else besides me sick of Shia LeBeouf? In this movie he was like a Poor-Man's-Fonzi-Meets-the-Mac-Guy-in-Live-Free-or-Die-Hard, and in the trailers I saw his ugly mug in two more films.

[Nick]

Shia LeBeouf's head doesn't match his body at all. It's like he has a little kid's head.

[Phoenix Gamma]

They'll make another movie starring Shia as the new Indy, and his sidekick will be a CGI dog. Or maybe a silly monkey descended from Jar-Jar Binks. You know, for the kids.

[Nick]

Say no to Indiana Jones sequels without Indiana Jones.

[Geggy]

BANNED

[MarioRPG]

My god hickman, this is the last time I read one of your threads. </lie>

However, I will be seeing this tonight!

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I still hate the Even Stevens kid.

[Zomboid]

It wasn't the worst ever, but it was pretty stupid in a lot of parts. It definitely didn't add anything (good) to the series and it was obvious what was gonna happen way before it happened. Also, there was a guy behind my friend and I who kept laughing obnoxiously at EVERYTHING. Every stupid little joke was hilarious to this guy. Even things that weren't meant to be funny had him laughing. It reminded me of why I hate going to the theater.

[HickMan]

My expectations were too high. At least that's what all my friends at the end told me. I guess I was dumb enough to have at least enough faith in George Lucas to not screw this up as well.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, that was dumb of you. George Lucas really doesn't have any sensibility anymore. I wish he had died whenever Willow was finished.

[nothing4buddha]

yeah i thought it was going to be okay right until the shia la crap character was fucking SWINGING IN TREES WITH FUCKING MONKEYS and that's where i regretted my decision in seeing the sequel :<

[Emu]

Yeah, that was dumb of you. George Lucas really doesn't have any sensibility anymore. I wish he had died whenever Willow was finished.

Does that mean you liked Willow or you didn't like Willow?

[Zomboid]

I loved Willow. That's why it's a shame that he didn't fall dead immediately after it's completion.

[MarioRPG]

SWINGING IN TREES WITH FUCKING MONKEYS
That was the only part I thought was extremely, for a lack of a better word, goofy. :rolleyes

I liked the movie overall though, there was a lot of throwbacks that were a tad cheesy, but I did like it.

[Nick]

I just saw the movie, and I absolutely loved it. Indiana Jones just seems more kickass with age.







PS: The tree swinging scene sucked. >:

[HickMan]

Teen Wolf was better

[Softix]

I think this will be a shit film! He is too old for this type of thing now and it just isn't right seeing Harrison Ford in these films after he was in the original Star Wars years ago!

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Wrong movie franchise.

[pac-man]

...take George Lucas' pen and paper away. Not a horrible movie, but it's obvious that the bastard isn't fit to be involved in the creative process of movie making anymore.

[GADZOOKS]

I would of enjoyed this movie if I hated Indiana Jones.

[MarioRPG]

Yeah, Lucas sort of has notable contributions. (opening credits, which I actually thought looked neat).

[pac-man]

Get any and all sharp objects out of the room before you read this excerpt from an article by "The Tipster" Kimberly Potts:

"With $311 million worldwide, it sets Indy 4 well on the way to becoming the most profitable film of the franchise and was the best opening for Ford of his career. And co-star Shia LaBeouf might want to get his head sized for a fedora, as those rumors of Indy 5 might be a bit more realistic now."

[Kybo Ren]

Temple may not be the best film, but it's my favorite.

so I had to see Kingdom- I'm still torn. John Hurt really was underused.
this old guy (60+) was there and said "what the fuck" when I was thinking it while the ******, and then he gets up puts on his hat (almost a fedora-gray) and storms out pissed when the *****.

as annoyed as I was, I'd still watch it in the theatre again. It's better than no new Indy
and on the bright side, Temple of Doom won't be the worst Indiana Jones anymore!

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Ya, I'm partial to Doom as well. I really didn't like the new one. It was alright, but just way too dumbed down and over the top action.

The thing that sort of pissed me off the most was that it was a lazy write. All the other movies are stand alone, this one however was all nostalgia, big stunts and hat tips.

The whole formula was different. I get what they were trying to do, with the updating themes to suit the 50's, but it was just too much mindless action and no calm moments of Indy charm - like 'no ticket'. There was no substance, just a throw away action movie.

I can't fault the plot, as it's no less believable than face melting ghosts and heart snatching gurus.

[Dr. Boogie]

I admit that the difference between killer ghosts and aliens isn't that tremendous in terms of realism, but it just seemed like something that didn't fit in the Indy-verse. Like he was dealing more with supernatural threats than extraterrestrial ones.

[HickMan]

The part that pissed me off was the CGIrific alien and UFO. All the Indi-myths had mystery around them even after you were done watching the movie. This just showed everything they possibly could with the magic of cgi.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I admit that the difference between killer ghosts and aliens isn't that tremendous in terms of realism, but it just seemed like something that didn't fit in the Indy-verse. Like he was dealing more with supernatural threats than extraterrestrial ones.

I believe they were updating feel to represent the decade, as they did in the previous installments. The serial feel of Temple and Arc, the go USA and anti-nazi feel in the third...the 50's were all about commies and ufo's.

I may just be giving them too much credit though...

[Fat_Hippo]

I've seen it now too, and yep, some things truly sucked. Sucked hard. I wouldn't say it was all bad, in fact, if it wasn't an Indiana Jones movie, and if it had just a few small script rewrites, I think it wouldn't be judged as harshly.
But as it is, aliens wtf!? Monkeys wtf!? Shia Lasomething wtf!? Zomboid, you are absolutely right, Lucas should have kicked the bucket a long time ago.

[Softix]

I've never been a fan of the series..but was going to go watch it soon.. Having second thoughts now! :)

[pac-man]

If you've want to go to the theater with a date or some friends one night, go see it. I mean, it's entertaining enough to see. I'd strongly recommend sitting at the house, watching one of the originals, and having the option to fast-forward, stop, or drink till it's good.

[Sacks]

What exactly is everyone's problem with Shia LeBouf?

[executioneer]

he's a great big goof

[Sacks]

So was Tom Hanks!

[pac-man]

Do you think it's just a little soon to be comparing Shia LaBeouf to Tom Hanks? Besides, it's one thing to be a likable, leading-man goof in comedies Joe Versus The Volcano, Bachelor Party, The 'Burbs, and Big; it's quite another to be a grating, sidekick goof in action/sci-fi movies like Constantine, I-Robot, Transformers, and Indiana Jones. I don't mind LaBeouf, but he's not in the same ballpark as Hanks, not even at a comparable time in Hanks' career. And he's certainly not the guy that should carry on the Indiana Jones franchise should they decide to keep it going.

[executioneer]

i was just rhyming i dont actually think i've ever seen him in anything

except maybe i, robot but who was he in that again? the swearing dude?

[Sacks]

I was only stating that Tom Hanks was a goof as well. I don't see how Shia is 'grating'.

[Fathom Zero]

Yea, but imagine Shia LeBooof as Josh in Big.

[Sacks]

Which Josh? Old Josh or little Josh?

[Fathom Zero]

Old Josh. What if Tom Hanks played little Josh, and the movie was really called Jack?

[Sacks]

Shia LeBouf isn't old enough to play old Josh so your question is moot!


P.S. You have Dexactly Disease.

[pac-man]

I was only stating that Tom Hanks was a goof as well. I don't see how Shia is 'grating'.

I gotcha, Sacks. Shia wasn't grating in Crystal Skull or Transformers, although Mutt was on the verge many times. He does annoy me at times, but that's just me. Tom's goofiness is tempered by his ability to do the serious stuff and his leading man credentials. LeBeouf isn't there yet. I understand your original point, now. I thought you were comparing them as performers and that isn't fair to Shia.

He hates SHIA!

More Shia!!

[MartinSargent]

The more I think about it, the more I don't like the movie. Left a bad taste.

It was the prequels all over again. Lucas has lost his mind.

[Ant10708]

I enjoyed it. Temple of Doom for some reason is my favorite of the originals. I remember there was a discussion on that.

[badboy7]

Is this a human or animal..???
