Harrison Ford on Indiana Jones: "Indy IV is mine."

I think this is awesome. Yeah, he's 62 years old--whatever. Harrison Ford is still a badass, and he can still pull it off.

Oh, come on SIM. It's at least worth a shot to see what they'll do with it. At the very least it'll be better than National Treasure.

I'll throw out the thought the my preference is for a DVD release of "Young Indiana Jones". Which, btw, showed that Indy could be capably portrayed by others.
It's the character and writing that make the viewing worthwhile and not, necessarily, the actor portraying the role.

Hey I actually have a couple of ancient Fu Manchu books around here somewhere that my grandma gave me many years ago. They're actually pretty good!CSL wrote:Its obvious Indiana Jones needs to combat the insidious villian known only as Fu Manchu!

Actually, Star Wars SCRIPTS aren't half bad. The direction is what sucks balls.

That's what is called "setting the bar low".Oh, come on SIM. It's at least worth a shot to see what they'll do with it. At the very least it'll be better than National Treasure.
Though every word spoken by Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman in the last one refutes that claim. (need we go into the whole "I like you because you're smooth as opposed to sand" speech?). I'll bet NP thought she would be helping her career by doing Star Wars, whereas it wasn't until I watched her in Garden State and Closer that I started to believe that she's a good actress.Actually, Star Wars SCRIPTS aren't half bad.

Hey, it could always have been worse, and that is an extreme example. I defy you to show me a movie where all of the dialogue is good. Yes, that is howlingly horrible dialogue, but Star Wars dialogue has never been good.

Shows how much YOU know. I'll have you know that George Lucas is a certified genius. He has his own card and EVERYTHING. He embossed it with a screwdriver.

I absolutely HATED the second Indy movie, solely because of that woman with the amazing knockers who SCREAMED obnoxiously every five minutes. God that got to me. Even watching those knockers couldn't make up for that god-awful racket.
Loved the other two movies however.

I agree, while I would miss Ford I thought Flanery did a great job with the role. Flanery would be too old to play Indy again IMO. If they were to do a movie with a different person I think they would have to put Indy closer to 30, a time in his life we really haven't seen yet. Just don't let Lucas cast the part.Jolor wrote:I'll throw out the thought the my preference is for a DVD release of "Young Indiana Jones".

Flanery is only 39, and played a young indiana jones when he was 27-28. I'm thinking he can still pull it off nicely, even if he has to play it like he's 30ish.

I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

I think it only worked if you stayed within the temple the grail was in. Once you left you wouldn't be immortal.tgb wrote:Tapping into my Inner Nerd, wasn't drinking from the Holy Grail (which he did in Last Crusade) supposed to grant immortality?CeeKay wrote:They could do 'Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth'Two Sheds wrote:Good call, Jeff.

Yeah thats why the Crusader Knight could not leave the area, else his immortality would be gone.Ramoz wrote:I think it only worked if you stayed within the temple the grail was in.

But the constantly screaming dingbat of a love interest was completely countered by the loveable Short Round! It completely redeems the movie!Giles Habibula wrote:I absolutely HATED the second Indy movie, solely because of that woman with the amazing knockers who SCREAMED obnoxiously every five minutes.

Oh, and the guy who could pull your heart of your chest...how cool was that?
And chilled monkey brains!
I would agree though with the sentiment...RotLA was easily the best of the series, with TLC coming a close second and ToD a distant third.
