Indiana Jones

[jynni]

Didn't see a thread for any of the Indy movies.

Anywhooo...

First shot of Harrison Ford in his Indy costume in over a decade. Looks promising.

I'm such an Indy freak. I don't really know how I feel about adding a 4th movie yet, especially 18 years later. We'll see....

I saw that picture and got ridiculously excited (and yeah, I can't believe it's been 18 years!)

I want to see pictures of Cate Blanchett - mostly because I love the fashion of that era and I'll bet her costumes will be fantastic (and she'll wear the hell out of them).

On one hand, Another Indiana Jones Movie!

On the other hand, I've already had one treasured series of my childhood crapped on (I'm looking at you, Lucas!) so I'm guarded.

Still, the cast looks amazing; Cate Blanchett, John Freakin' Hurt, Jim Broadbent... I'm feeling hopeful.

This might seem to be an odd thing to like about an action hero, but one thing I found appealing about Indy was the fact that when he got hit in a fight, it looked like it really hurt; the 1980s was full of other guys who'd shrug off hits that would make the biggest NFL linebacker curl up on the ground coughing up blood, so the sight of a guy acting more realistically made the character seem more human. That, and he wasn't above fighting dirty when facing a guy twice his size; the Indy vs. Hulking Nazi Mechanic fight in Raiders is one of my favorite fight scenes. He bites, he throws dirt in the other guy's face; and when HNM pastes him in the face, he gets knocked right on his ass. It's awesome!


ETA: I must be getting old; I had to look up Shia LaBeouf's age on the IMDb, and was actually surprised that he was alive when Last Crusade came out. He was all of three at the time.

I lurrrrve Indy. I still sit glued to the TV whenever Temple of Doom/Last Crusade is on. (Sorry, I think Raiders CG effects are way too fake.)

I think it will be good. It HAS to be good. Well, it better be good.

Does anyone know what the plotline is?

[Atreides]

Indy must globetrot to exotic locales on a dangerous journey to find ___________. Colourful allies and enemies surround him, aiding and hindering his quest.

Aren't they all like this?

[ramonaq]

Funny, atreides! I looked it up on imdb, but no synopsis is abvailable yet. Yours is probably more accurate, anyway.

Ooh, Jim Broadbent is going to be in this. I love him.

I hope this is good. You know, I think I may rent the other ones.

[Deleted]

Well, it has a strong supporting cast I just hope the script is solid and not over the top. I can't believe it has been 18 yrs since the last movie. Babies born in that year are now graduating from high school, where did the time go?

[Shanmac]

I can't wait for this. I love Indy. I think I need to dig out my Indiana Jones DVDs, because Harrison is just yummy in those flicks.

Oooh, Jim Broadbent is in it? Yay!
