Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (James Mangold, June 30th 2023) Movie • Page 29

that dude is retired as shit

since like 2012

they make him take little day trips some times to glance at puppets and dailies and he'll say something unintelligible and then go back to his ranches

 

which theater

edit: lmao Look dine-in in Glendale. saw many saints of newark there. not a good experience from basically all angles

 

It’s interesting that one of the themes of this movie is Indy/history are still relevant and loved and needed in a world moving more toward technology/science and the box office basically said “No”.

 

I guess this is a box office bomb but that is a lot more due to the outrageous budget. Who thought that was a good idea? The best movie in the series is 40 years old, the last one was over fifteen years ago and is considered the worst one, and pretty much everyone under 30 doesn't know what it is. The numbers are actually good for what it should have been budgeted at.

 

Yeah, my son is dying to see this in the theater but we definitely can't go until after Friday morning when I get paid.

 

Last august/Labor Day week was a wasteland for new releases, I went to see Jaws, ET & Avatar. No idea why so many big movies got bunched into a 2 month span.

 

Unfortunately Haunted Mansion is going to have the same issue being between Barbie/Oppenheimer the week before and Ninja Turtles 4 days later.

 

Whats crazy about harrison ford is he hasn’t had a hit since crystal skull, and if you set that one aside, since like what lies beneath, but he keeps leading $150M movies cuz he’s han solo or something

 

It is part of that prevailing wisdom that the blockbusters should be in the summer because kids are out of school and people aren't snowed in. Meanwhile, three of the four biggest films of all time (Titanic and Avatar 1 and 2) came out in the winter.

 

Yeah crazy that a guy who played some of the most iconic characters of the last 50 years has a lifetime pass

 

Apparently one of those icons isnt much of an icon

 

Lifetime pass, Tom

 

As in, pass this man to the Lifetime channel

 

Grow up

 

Post of the week

 

Indiana Jones is still an iconic character. Shame the character has to end on a box office bomb when all the other films were hits at the box office.

 

temple is the worst one though.

 

Force Awakens wasn’t a hit? Id say he had a big enough role in that to consider it. Also, he’s like 800 years old, give him a break

 

My kids really wanted to watch Temple of Doom the other day. They are 8 & 7. Originally I had them skip that one purposely when they started watching them, but they figured out that they missed one and asked if they could watch it. My wife thought about it and said it was fine seeing as how we had both seen it a bunch of times by that age when we were younger.

I did end up grabbing the remote though and fast-forwarding a few minutes when they first drag that poor dude out for the heart removal / lava dip ceremony. Too fucked up and cruel. Spielberg is just too good. Someone else doing the exact same scene and it's just silly nonsense, but with him that scene is intense and it feels like it goes on so damn long.

Temple of Doom was the one I watched most as a kid and was always my favorite one until I watched them all again later in life as an adult.

 

I am watching ToD right now. Binging all of them and decided to do it chronologically.

• This is racist as hell
• This way too long minecart chase scene almost feels like it was made just so it can become a theme park ride

 

Apparently there is a Young Indiana Jones episode where Indy befriends a young Ho Chi Minh in post-WW1 1918 Paris and helps him further the anti-colonial Vietnamese cause. I cannot wait to get to that one.

 

When you say "all of them" do you mean all of the movies plus the Young Indiana Jones show...???

 

I did all of the "little kid Indy traveling with his parents around the world" 1909/1910 Young Indiana episodes. Now I am doing the movies. Since Crusades has a Young Indy flashback scene that takes place in 1912, after that I was go into the "Teen Indy adventures during/after WW1" era episodes of Young Indiana which start in 1916 I believe.
