PICTURE OF SKULL

FatalT · « **Reply #1 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:41:29 AM »

Is that where the aliens come in?

Ichirou · « **Reply #2 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:42:20 AM »

Alien skull from Close Encounters of the Third Kind....whoaaaaaa. Close Encounters takes place in the Indy universe!!!!!!!!

TVC15 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:42:25 AM »

We knew they were alien skulls from the very beginning. More doom and gloomery from the haters.

Not really. We knew there'd be aliens, but the rumor mill speculated that the skulls were similar to those crystal ones that people debate whether or not are forgeries. Those ones look like regular skulls.

I was willing to deal with like a subtle alien subplot, but this is blatant and lame.

i'll watch it, but if indy says i'm too old for this shit i will yell at the screen

The real twist is that the skull belongs to this man:

Yet you were willing to be cool with EBAY playing a plot point in the Transformers movie?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:48:33 AM »

It's an adaptation of a dumb toy commercial to begin with. I could care less what the plot is.

This is a sequel to the Indiana Jones series. There are established rules within this series. This is just hokey and lame. And confirms my fears that after years of protesting the lame Lucas-inspired plot, Ford and Spielberg rolled over so they could churn out one more Indy film before they're old and dead.

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:50:48 AM »

George Lucas should stick to running his companies and leave filmmaking for the creative types.

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:51:14 AM »

Honestly, we don't even know if there are aliens. I am sure it will be ambiguous. It could all be a ruse.n You are too quick to write this off: this is the last chance we get. As long as we get something as good as Last Crusade I will be happy.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:53:08 AM »

i hope they tone down the slapstick dumbness that was in crusade

I'm too quick to write this off and you're too quick to defend this. With almost every image leaked, this looks worse and worse. This skull picture is fucking insulting. If the aliens are indeed ambiguous, I'll eat my words, but this does not look like the case.

Ichirou · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:58:01 AM »

The conclusion will be like Raiders of the Lost Ark except Indy will look up and see the source of the light that melts the commies is a spaceship lazer.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #20 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:59:49 AM »

i am a huge raiders fan, and have seen every movie during the original theatrical runs, but everything sort of gives off that made-for-tv "reunion movie" vibe

i hope it's good

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2008, 01:00:31 AM »

I am pretty sure that you'll find out that the skulls were left by Megatron and Shia travels into the future to warn his future self via eBay PMs.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2008, 01:00:47 AM »

All the shots released have looked fine, aside from possibly this one.

I don't see what there is to hate on just yet. I will gladly admit if the movie turns out shit, but I've seen nothing hateworthy so far.

Synbios got back in using a proxy, causing the admission protocol to be changed. Cheebs has admitted to showing flipper how to use proxies in the past. DO THE MATH.

Ichirou · « **Reply #35 on:** February 05, 2008, 02:13:44 AM »

The fact that he's being groomed to take over for Harrison Ford in future sequels gives me a bad feeling in my gut. I don't want to see Mutt Ravenwood and The Hunt for the Family Jewels on the silver screen ten years from now.

Except this is going to be Indiana Jones and...introducing MUTT RAVENWOOD. This character was added into the script just for the possibilities of future spin-offs. Frank Darabont wrote a version of the very same story that is now being filmed. The big difference? No Mutt Ravenwood. The character is being shoehorned in for Shia The Beef to star in the spin-off.

I still see no immediate reason to write this movie off before there's ample evidence to do so. This is a franchise, of course there's going to be milking, but I see nothing to indicate that we should worry about this entry. Spielberg may not be the Spielberg of years past, but I doubt he'll let Lucas cornhole this movie.

drozmight · « **Reply #42 on:** February 05, 2008, 04:14:11 AM »

Everyone here is still going to end up watching it regardless of the plot.

Spielberg does aliens well so I'm optimistic it'll be good.

I dont have an opinion on the skull - and the movie could very well try to be dipped in raging comedy (Temple of doom dinner scene anyone? That was as silly as watching Naked Gun for a movie franchise with such serious established rules)

But I am amazed that you dont think posting that skull is a bit of a spoiler.

I would rather know less and go into this with no web fanboi expectations.

abrader · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2008, 06:36:28 AM »

Fo real indiana jones is as far out as monty pythons holy grail movie.

If you cant spot the flaming homo comedy in all three of the movies out today you need to re-think your foothold on mastery of movie expertise.
