Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny - Using time travel to literally retcon the series

[mindlessobserver]

I thought so too until I saw Hail, Caesar! There he plays an actor who strongly resembles but is legally distinct from Roy Rogers, and he's one of the best parts of the movie. I don't know what went wrong with Solo, but I'm guessing that the change in directors has something to do with it.

Lots of things. Change of director, yes. A Kathleen Kennedy self insert as the love interest. A back story for a mysterious rogue that needed to stay mysterious and could never equal the head Canon of the fans, coming out right after "the ladt jedi, a convoluted plot with so many God damn mcguffins and mystery boxes that it was the avatistic example of Current Year Franchise Film...

I KNOW THE RIGHT MAN FOR THIS JOB!

Wait a minute, that's not Anthony Ingruber!

 

[Uranus Pink]

Given the complete shitshow Lucasfilm is why would Anthony Ingruber want to get his name and image tarnished by association with Disney?

The "Would that it were so simple" scene and its payoff is one of the funniest things I've seen in film.

I'm already there.

I can at least see the thought processes and understand how someone could think that Crystal Skull would've been great when they were making it. 50s B movie stuff is fun, aliens aren't the huuuugest stretch when you think about stuff like the Wheels of Ezekiel or other ancient ayy shit. With Dial of Destiny, the only thing that really has any sort of a nugget of an interesting idea is "Indy getting butthurt that Nazis in the space program are getting off scott free." But instead it's some dumb time travel thing instead of Indy fighting moon nazis. The object he's looking for isn't even a "real" object, so that alone makes it stand out.

 

[Adamska]

Indy fighting nazis on their moon base, trying to stop them from taking control over the galaxy, because their space ships are powered by vril given by the Lance of Longinus is a less stupid plot than the horseshit we're going to get. Keep that in mind.

There were 3 Indy movies.
Really 2 1/2.
No more. You can't convince me otherwise.

which of the original 3 do you dislike

Temple of Doom is a mess with the worst Indy girl

 

[thegooddoctor]

The original 3 Indiana jones films are all time classics that stand the test of time, KOTKS is at least a fun mess that has that one good fridge scene. This one looks dead on arrival and lacks any charisma and reason to exist. Disney please stop.

Indiana Jones and the jesus christ please kill me

 

[ChampFantana]

My question is, after so many years working under Lucas and Spielberg on the original series, what the HELL did they do to KK to make her hate them to point that she is hell-bent on destroying their greatest creation?!

 

[DankSmoker]

Indiana Jones and the jesus christ please kill me

Now that would make a great time travel story.

She is a Narcissist whose entire "success story" boils down to two old dudes "liked" (you can take this however way you want) her as an assistant and basically handed her a successful career path where she did nothing and was rewarded for it by getting ever greater positions.

The thing Narcissist's hate most is having to admit, be it to others or themselves, is that any success was not 100% their own. Narcissists are kinder to their "enemies" than the "friends" who helped them get to where they are due to projecting this crippling insecurity.

Temple of Doom is a mess with the worst Indy girl

I'm convinced if it hadn't been for the grossout scenes, and the absolute banger of a villain ripping hearts out of people, Temple of Doom would have been considered mediocre by most of the kids who gushed over it later as adults.

It would be a far far better movie if Willie got slapped, several times. Like dropping Indy's gun during the car chase, that deserved a backhanded slap. All the shouting and screaming about stuff when they are getting crushed. She needed another backhand.

That would have fixed like 90% that's wrong with the movie, that she is really fucking annoying.

I don't expect much of a horsefucking faggot, but could you please help me find Kursk on the map of Britain? Thanks!

Many German tankers fought on both fronts. And meeting a fellow tanker who survived the largest tank battle in history is a big fucking deal.

 

[ShiftyBoi]

I know it won't but I hope this upcoming movie has more history related stuff in it. That's what made the first three movies fun for my family growing up, Indie meeting Hitler and finding Coronado's cross on a boat called the Coronado, spelling Jehova with an I. That shit is fun and clever and shows these movies aren't just for meatheads.

If this movie is just full of nonsensical pandering bullshit, then it shows to me that all the people with their heads screwed on straight have been out of the picture since '89.

I just dunno about this. The last shot looks real nice. Just not seeing much buzz anywhere either.
