I haven't seen it in a while but I always figured he eventually got inside somehow...is there reason to believe otherwise?

"Rumors began in July 2007 that Shia LaBeouf signed a contract to reprise his role of Mutt Williams, in a series of Indiana Jones sequels. MTV quickly got a denial from LucasFilm, although it turns out that IESB.net’s source probably wasn’t far off after all. It has now been revealed that George Lucas has an idea to make more Indy films with Mutt as the lead character."

I like Shia and I like Indy but hesitate to comment until seeing Crystal Skull

The dude is an awful actor. I don't know how he keeps getting work.

5/17/2008 8:07:48 PM

I hear this movie isnt very good

5/17/2008 8:14:01 PM

i got a feeling i'm gonna get a transformers vibe from it

5/17/2008 8:15:46 PM

I will probably never watch another Indy movie again if Lebouff is the new Jones, I hate that kid. He is the complete opposite of the Jones character too.

A review on Fox News said the movie is a hit:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356527,00.html

Quote :

"It's not the best movie of all time but "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is a thrilling, thoroughly enjoyable romp that should please even the most devout fans of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' franchise. ... So get the record books out. "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" lives up to the Spielberg/Lucas tradition particularly in parodying the great action reels of the 50s. Bravo!"

:carlface:

And evidently, there are real crystal skulls according to the Sci-Fi netwo...wait, shit.

5/18/2008 4:29:17 PM

^ CNN said the same thing.

I think it might turn out alright if you go in keeping in mind the campy elements of the first three.

5/18/2008 4:33:01 PM

yahoo has a story on how it survived the cannes critics

5/18/2008 6:02:02 PM

you guys didnt know that there are real crystal skulls? (several actually)....

5/18/2008 6:07:35 PM

^you dont ever post here again

EVER

5/18/2008 6:10:07 PM

I actually have my DVR set to record the crystal skulls special on Sci-Fi tonight.

5/18/2008 6:48:24 PM

haha, I'm watching teh Last Crusade now . . . Sean Connery is great

I don't know why everyone's hating on Shia. Everyone thought Leonardo DiCaprio was a huge douche after Titanic, but now he's badass. And Shia isn't nearly as gay as DiCaprio was back then.

5/18/2008 8:48:35 PM

i never thought dicaprio was "bad" and still don't..

by the way, i think he fell off the big scene b/c i haven't heard about him in a while

5/18/2008 8:50:58 PM

Uh, Blood Diamonds, The Departed? It's only been like a year since his last movie.

5/18/2008 8:53:14 PM

Why don't they get River Phoenix back for more Indy movies?

i dono, ive just never enjoyed the kid's acting. He always annoys me for some reason.

5/19/2008 12:01:04 AM

People hated in Dicaprio because he was the male lead in the biggest chick flick of all time. People hate on LeBouf because he's a bad actor.

Set my DVR to record that too.

I have two Indy specials to watch before I see the movie Wednesday night.

5/19/2008 11:24:23 AM

Damn, are they still doing Indy specials on History channel? I wanna see that.

One of my buddys who's a GM at a theatre in Philly has already seen it. He is a fan of the original trilogy and says its good, but not as great as Raiders or Last Crusade.

5/19/2008 2:05:48 PM

I actually read up on them a bit on wikipedia and the crystal skulls, which were said to be of Ancient Mayan or Aztec origin, were infact dated to be from Europe in the 19th century, with one skull made in Germany around 1880.

5/19/2008 2:49:07 PM

I just saw the trailer again, I can't help but be excited.

5/20/2008 10:37:57 PM

^^I watched the special on them and the impression I got was one crackpot guy made up a story about having one and people started devoting their lives to trying to find them, even though they never actually existed.

5/20/2008 10:41:32 PM

25 hours 15 minutes

5/20/2008 10:42:05 PM

im expecting a phantom menace like failure on this one

5/20/2008 11:55:28 PM

^ i'm expecting John Williams to reverse sample music from those prequels for these new sequels.

5/20/2008 11:57:20 PM

Lucas already did The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which I'm going to count as his shitty Phantom Menaceesque prequels.

5/21/2008 12:14:49 AM

hey, some of those were awesome

and the feeling i got from the trailer before iron man was intense meh, followed by disappointment at not being pumped for it

5/21/2008 7:40:13 AM

got my ticket last night for the midnight showing at crossroads

even got free popcorn too!

5/21/2008 7:55:17 AM

^^ yeah i really enjoyed some of the world war one young indiana jones stuff

wasn't much for the ones with the elementary school age one though

5/21/2008 8:31:23 AM

11 hours 25 minutes

5/21/2008 12:36:09 PM

OK, I'll shoot first...

Thought it was really entertaining... but more in a "The Mummy" way, not so much Indiana Jones way.
If you thought any of the other Indy films were a little too farfetched, this one takes the cake.

But I still thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope to see another one sooner or later.

Me and Moody were pretty surprised at the clip after the credits




*********spoiler**********

Samuel L. Jackson is Indy's grandpa

5/22/2008 2:54:41 AM

well i said that national treasure movie but the mummy is another good example of what i figured this would be

5/22/2008 2:59:07 AM

This movie was a fucking travesty.....

If you are a true Indiana Jones then I don't see how you could like this movie.

What a joke.

5/22/2008 3:03:12 AM

elaborate?

5/22/2008 3:05:16 AM

The movie was too predictable and too far fetched...EVEN for an Indy film. I think they should have just hinted at some of the stuff rather than full on show some of the outlandish things.




*****for reals spoilers this time************************









George of the Jungle = lame
Close Encounters of the Third Kind = Even more lame
Surving Hiroshima....in a fridge.... really?




*******end spoiler************




I think this is easily my least favorite, but I still enjoyed it and hope they make another one. I mean, it could redeem itself

5/22/2008 3:10:19 AM

This movie ruined this series....it was not Indiana Jones. I think George Lucas has lost it and got drunk and mixed Star Wars with Indiana Jones on this one.

It is so bad it should not be sold with the other 3 as a collector's set.

Of course the nerds that looked like they were from Mars at the theater liked it.

[Edited on May 22, 2008 at 3:12 AM. Reason : ^I agree with all of that except I enjoyed it.....I didn't]

5/22/2008 3:11:32 AM

the first half of the film was better than the second half.... Ford and LeBeouf were awesome together. And they did a good job at making Ford not look old. I guess they kinda balanced each other out

5/22/2008 3:12:54 AM

"And they did a good job at making Ford not look old. "

They made fun of him for being old the whole movie....this was another thing that pissed me off.

5/22/2008 3:15:11 AM

^this is true,....which made it more acceptable to me.

at the same time, they had him kick a lot of ass though and take some beatings

5/22/2008 3:16:19 AM

Eagle Eye trailer (with Shia) was pretty badass though!
