While we're all talking about movies, didn't that last Indiana Jones movie really, really, REALLY

[Bicoastal]

SUCK OUT LOUD?

Spielberg owes me a new sequel with better sidekicks, a comprehensible backstory, and dialogue NOT written by George Lucas.

1. Who are the people thinking...

"what we need is more Spielberg and Lucas movies?"

[CreekDog]

2. i liked it

a friend complained that it was totally unrealistic. :rofl:

oh, like the first one was!!! :spank: :rofl:

the reason the first one seemed more realistic was because I was 10 when it came out. :rofl:

4. I think the complaint is more about the genre twisting.

I don't want Captain Kirk suffering from a Mummy's curse, and I don't want Indiana Jones messing around with space aliens.

5. This would have been better--"Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth."

Indiana Jones is washed up, a relic of the past--no one at his college will take him seriously anymore. On a much-need vacation to Florida, however, he gets wind of some former-Nazi scientists working for NASA--and when he infiltrates the base, he discovers intelligence that a colony of exiled Nazis in South America have found a lost map belonging to Ponce de Leon's rivals in the hunt for the legendary fountain. If they find it, they can bring the remains of Hitler back to life, and turn themselves young as well.

Now wanted by several different governments, Indy sets off to Argentina, then Revolutionary Cuba, then finally somewhere mysterious inside the Bermuda Triangle. I'm guessing in the end, the fountain turns the Nazis into babies or something, while Indiana Jones decides being old isn't so bad after all.

Tell me that isn't a better idea than "Aliens who know waaaaay too much."

6. The quality of Indiana Jones storylines seem to parallel the number of nazis involved.

Hence why the first and third were the better ones.

8. Exactly--the commies aren't nearly so scary...and "Boys from Brazil" proved that

older Nazis are just as creepy as young ones.

7. Bingo.

Even James Bond twisted genres with "Moonraker" and then "Die Another Day" (which had potential until it did the sci-fi shtick)...

9. Ditto bingo

(but what was the sci-fi in Die Another Day? The villain that didn't have dreams?)

3. You mean this one out now?

Haven't seen it yet.

But the "last" one was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" which I liked.

Temple of Doom however, was suckitude writ large.

10. Yes. I posted about that yesterday, and got no replies.
