Which of the Indiana Jones sequels is the best?

try reading books inshtead of buhrning them

I thought Last Crusade was good when it came out and haven't bothered to watch it since.

this thread turned into a kevin smith script

you'll love our movie polls.

snooch to the booch

like the back of a volkswagen?

so Sir Sean's last film looks to be The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Maybe he deserves it for slapping all those women.

one time i noticed that Last Crusade and Dogma were on different TV channels at the same time, and so i ended up watching both "no ticket" scenes about 10 minutes apart

can we just post more pictures from step up 2 the streets?

Were there any stickers made up for Temple of Doom?

have never seen The Spiel dissing ToD.

He was "ambivalent" about how far he went w.r.t the violence in the interviews included on the DVD, iirc.

Also the part where Kate Capshaw thinks she's picking up a shirt but picks up a giant bat instead. So cool.

how bout when she thinks she's picking up Indy's cock but accidentally pushes a lever

I like the part where she pushes the statues tittays and thinks she's pushing a real-life midget gidget's boobies.

and her grimace!

The one nod to Raiders seems very obligatory. Doom wins the #1 slot for the very thing Alfred likes most about it (I think). Takeaway: modern audiences need to get over themselves, because Crystal Skull is not so clearly worse than the other two sequels.

SHIA LA BOEUF AS MARLON BRANDO IS THE WORST THING EVER SO HELP ME I WILL FITE ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT

also

ALIUMS.

GODDAMN ALIUMS

It was the part where Indy jokes about Cat Blanchett's horrible accent that I realized all hope was lost.

Why is it so difficult for people to process the idea that a movie series that recalled the in vogue movie styles of the eras the movies were set in would switch to sci-fi when it leapt into the '50s?

i have no problem w the sci-fi aspects. only object to the shitmovie aspects.

Shia swinging from trees like an idiot monkey.

RIght, which go ahead and say as much shit against Shea O'Beouf as you want. I was right alongside every last single person in my theater screaming with horror at the suggestion that he was going to pick up Indy's fedora at the end.

I slept through the last half of Crystal Skull at 8pm on a Saturday night.

it was months before I saw how it ended

why because I didn't care

the end

Prequel: I've only seen Last Crusade once and haven't ever watched it a second time.

Because I thought it pretty much blew then.

The end ... ?

well that explains your boring challops about Crystal Skull being better than Last Crusade

Not shallops if it's true.

Celtics steal one!!!!! YES!!!!

Which I only saw Crystal Skull once too, so they're basically equal.

xpost lol

Not shallops if it's true.

challops is often true. still challops.

wrong thread! Sorry.

I want to rail against the kind of mindset that can go:

Raiders: Classic
Crusade: Awesome
Doom & Crystal Skull: Dumbness

But I figure I lack credibility.

i mean there's not a HUGE gulf of quality (certainly not of intelligence) between Crusade and Doom, their respective best moments are probably comparable, but one has a lot more dragging it down than the other imo. and of course Crystal Skull is worthless, c'mon man.

agree. while i love raiders, like temple of doom, and think the last crusade is just okay, it seems to me that they're all well-made adventure movies. what causes me to pick one over another has more to do with the vagaries of my particular taste than with any sense of progressive deterioration in real quality.

the crystal skull is another matter entirely. that one's like watching used toilet paper.

24 sheets per second.

Fair or not, I def see preference between either Doom or Crusade as a telling character trait and don't much trust anyone who picks the latter's sense of humor.

what are the odds you even remember any of the jokes from Crusade after 20 years or whatever since the one time you saw it? Doom has some laughs but the Capshaw comic relief stuff is so painfully weak.

Indy was named after the dog. Ha.

i've flipped past Crystal Skull on USA or some similar station twice and it's always been the same nondescript scene. should watch it eventually just to be more informed. though nothing bothered me as much as the face-melting in raiders, temple just felt too gross on the whole when i was a kid, and even watching it recently it just felt kind of shrill and ugly.

eric likes making fun of asians and women

i remember being in the toy aisle of a walmart when Crystal Skulls came out and seeing the Laboof toys and learning his characters name, and ever since that day, before even seeing the movie, we'd forever yell "Mutt Williamss was the dog'sh name!" in a Connery voice

xpost No, I like movies to do it for me.

seriously, i'm saying you'll love it but you might as well take the pepsi challenge and watch Crusade again, if only to be less Morbsy in your attacks on it

though nothing bothered me as much as the face-melting in raiders, temple just felt too gross on the whole when i was a kid, and even watching it recently it just felt kind of shrill and ugly.

funny you should say that. i was 14 when i saw raiders and was a bit shocked by the face-melting. what's funny is that it wasn't so much that the scene disturbed me (i thought the effects was pretty cool), but rather that i thought such content might be "inappropriate" in a PG movie. i remember having a discussion w my mom about it afterwards. lol me, earnestly wringing my hands from an early age...

the heart-ripping in temple of doom was even more intense, imo. not so much the gore, which was pretty heavy duty, but the amped-up sadism of the whole scene, what with all the shrieking and cackling and flames and so on. that did get under my skin a little. it is a "shrill and ugly" movie. i can't deny that, but the manic nastiness gives it a real edge. it's like a carnival after dark: a little seedy and off kilter, but all the more thrilling for that.

Let's discuss this in terms of torture porn how about

I had to look away when they're eating the snakes in Temple.

Crystal Skull gets alot of shit, and it deserves it, but the aliens are like 10% of the problem. It really isn't a new Indiana Jones movie so much as a greatest hits album where all the songs have been re-recorded and the one new shitty track they added is longer than the rest of the album.

i wonder if pg-13 would have ever happened if not for spielberg

i don't think it would have. that's the CW, anyway. i remember the stir that poltergeist, gremlins and the temple of doom caused. not only were they pushing hard at the moment's boundaries with regard to violent, gory content, they were doing so in movies aimed explicitly at a grade-school audience. compared to raiders of the lost ark, temple of doom comes on like a kid's flick, with gaudy colors, cartoonish action and pacing, grossout gags and a preteen co-star. i remember reading speculation about the academy's apparent unwillingness to really challenge spielberg on these movies, and arguments in favor of the creation of a new rating suddenly sprang up everywhere.

it's just funny that this rating that pretty much every blockbuster has now was created just to deal with one guy's work

And now there are, like, three PG movies released every year.

Temple. Duh.

Give Spielberg this: in two movies more than 25 years apart he finds time to treat Karen Allen like shit twice. Remarkable consistency.

it is happening again
