Author Topic: Get yr pitchfork! Lucas set for Star Wars-style raping of Indy, Indy Jr. is CAST (Read 2759 times)

Quote from: Moriarty, AICN

Normally, I would stay out of this.

I’m not excited about the prospect of INDIANA JONES AND THE FOURTH ADVENTURE or whatever ridiculous awkward temporary title Paramount is using for the film at the moment. To be honest, I never saw the point in continuing to make Indy movies. Sure, I know... it’s all about the money. But even though I’m not a huge LAST CRUSADE fan, I do love the last shot, and I thought it was a fitting end to the series.

In the years since, we’ve heard so many rumors about this movie that it’s become easier just to tune them out. One of the more persistent kinds of rumor is “Guess who will be playing Indy’s brother/sister/son/daughter/random family member,” something that’s always made me nervous. It’s such a desperate move to start inventing family members for Indy, something that smacks of “Cousin Oliver” syndrome. When you’re in trouble and trying to reinvigorate something, just add some cute kids to the family!

Or don’t. Please.

I’ve read one of the recent version of INDY 4, and there were no new family members added. That pleased me greatly. However, they’ve thrown that version out now, and whatever David Koepp’s done, he’s made the people over at Dreamworks very, very happy. And now that they’re getting close to production, I’ve heard a persistent rumor, a new version of that old familiar. The thing is, I’m hearing this from some pretty reliable places.

So here we go again.

Shia La Beouf will play the son of Indiana Jones.

The thing is, we know Spielberg loves La Beouf right now. DISTURBIA became a pet project for The Beard, and it evidently came out well. TRANSFORMERS is a big deal for the company, and a lot of the weight of that falls squarely on the shoulders of Shia. So as much as I pray that there’s no Indy Jr., I’m starting to think that this may in fact be true.

I know adventure has a name. But does it really have to have a son? Really?

Only time will tell.

Again, he made the original cut available, so no, it's not the same. Barring E.T., which had the original available on the same print, there's really nothing revisionist about Spielberg. That's just crazy talk.

This is potentially lamer than the Superboy concept in Superman Returns, which was pretty lame.

Lucas never made the original version available on DVD whatsoever, until very recently and it was shitty, Laserdisc transfer. Spielberg made it available, in rather large quantities. And he said he won't get rid of the cut either, whereas Lucas says the original cuts don't even exist in his mind. Sorry you didn't buy the original cut on day one, but that's not Spielberg's fault. He made it available. I'm sure it'll show up again in Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.

Because two things... it's not relevant to the discussion and it's not the same thing. Why are you blaming Spielberg because you want to buy the original cut on DVD years after it came out? His new cut is no different than a Director's Cut, and he even released the original theatrical cut. It's not his fault you waited 'till now to buy it!

You set yourself up for a major bruising, then.

Willco: Yeah, but the problem is that his "director's cut" RAPES the original film, in the same ways that Lucas' do. And they were BOTH released for a limited time to consumers while the shittier revisions are being touted as the REAL versions. What's not to get?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #21 on:** February 18, 2007, 06:29:46 PM »

Walkie talkies replace guns. It's hardly on the same level as the Star Wars changes. There's no comparison. And no, unlike E.T., Star Wars was not available to consumers. And when it was made available, it was made available in an awful format - almost forcing you to accept the new revisionist Star Wars. E.T. wasn't anything like that. Spielberg has his cut, and the original cut. He recognizes the original cut and will continue to release it in future formats, and will not pretend it doesn't exist.

If you can't recognize the difference from that and Lucas, then I can't help you.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2007, 06:42:42 PM »

Quote from: Wikipedia

Other changes had a different genesis. In the scene near the movie's end where the kids are fleeing on their bicycles, all the police officers' guns have been digitally removed and replaced with walkie-talkies, because Spielberg now finds himself uncomfortable with scenes of policemen preparing to use guns around children.[14] A second prominent change is the replacing of the word "terrorist" with the word "hippie" in one scene where Mary forbids Michael to dress up as a terrorist for Halloween; the wording change was reportedly made to fit with a "post-9/11 environment".[15] The entire line had previously simply been omitted from the VHS and television versions.[citation needed]

So, in retrospect, no the changes are not for the better, and yes, do rape the film with a Lucas-sized strap-on.

For a short time. That disk is long out of print. The only version currently out is the DC of E.T. Spielberg is NOT continuing releasing the old version of ET. It was part of the anniversary limited edition disk set, not in any of the re-releases after that.

The only verisions of Close Encounters and 1941 on DVD is the DC as well I believe.

Spielberg has a tendency of not releasing his theatrical cuts on DVD.

Also, labelling me a Spielberg fanboy is pretty laughable. I've probably been the most critical of anyone on his recent films.

No, you said Spielberg had raped E.T. similar to Lucas had raped Star Wars. Now you're throwing in his DC of 1941, arguably the only WATCHABLE CUT OF THE FILM and Close Encounters to the mix (what fucking edits are even in the DC?).

You're wrong. You can try to add emoticons to think you're right, but you're not.

There's a difference, between drastically altering an entire trilogy and not making the theatrical cuts available and altering one scene and one line of dialgue making the theatrical cut available.

BUT YOU ARE A TEENAGER AND CANNOT COMPREHEND THIS.

Willco, you can bitch and moan as much as you want, but you are wrong. Twisting information and playing the "WELL IT WAS ONLY ONE FILM" card doesn't change the fact that Speilberg not only raped the film, but is now keeping the raped version on the shelves instead of the original.
