I don't disagree with your every post, I just think it's lame to pick nits over a title. And the way Gryphon was treated for calling you on it is even dumber.

The site was started to get the OOT on DVD and yet people were asking him why he's here. What does the title of ROTLA have to do with wanting the OOT on DVD? Nothing. It has nothing to do with it. So he thought you were being a lame ass fanboi for bitching about the way the documentary portrayed the title. I thought you were too and couldn't figure out why you kept saying you didn't remember such a movie.

The point is that not wanting things changed at all seems to have been taken to an extreme. So much so that when some show uses a modified title, instead of your precious original title, that you guys make fun of it. The rest of the world could care less and probably recognizes it either way.

Yeah, poor Gryphon, he sure didn't deserve the awful treatment he got, all he did was point out something in a peaceful and non antagonistic fasion...

Uh, so yeah, I just can't help myself but to quote chainsawash and say "quick question: Why the fuck are you here?" with us "Star Wars elitest dipshite"s on our Star Wars elitest dipshit site?

Uh, your anti-ADM biases are showing. Go back and reread the part about the "Star Wars elitest dipshits" and the Star Wars fanboys who complain far "too fucking much" then come back and explain why it is odd that he was asked why he was here.


So he thought you were being a lame ass fanboi for bitching about the way the documentary portrayed the title. I thought you were too and couldn't figure out why you kept saying you didn't remember such a movie.


Yes, a lame ass Star Wars fanboi (poor English language, I shed tears for thee) dipshite for making a comment on an INDIANA JONES movie. And logic takes a violent blow to the groin. Also, I failed to find the part where ADM "kept saying" he didn't remember such a movie, I counted one time, but then again I suck at math.


The point is that not wanting things changed at all seems to have been taken to an extreme. So much so that when some show uses a modified title, instead of your precious original title, that you guys make fun of it. The rest of the world could care less and probably recognizes it either way.


Right, but even funnier than people complaining about something are people who complain about people complaining about something. If it is even fair to call what we were doing with Raiders as complaining. Sometimes it is fun to jest about silly little things like this, especially when it is about a film maker who complained (or bitched in a fanboy like manner) about people making "minor" alterations to films, such as the colorization of black and whites films, who then goes on to make major and minor alterations to each and every one of his films. Sorry if some of us find things like this amusing to "complain" about.

The interesting thing about this complaint against complaining as you guys are making a real "I am annoyed" sort of complaint, while the "name has changed" complainers really aren't that sore about the situation. You have complaining like as in from a guy who is always pissed off type complaining, then you have the "what's up with that" Jerry Seinfeld just for kicks sort of complaining. I believe if you look at the posts more carefully, we anti- Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark title people fit much better in the later than the former. So I would say you guys are the ones who need to get over it and stop complaining, meanwhile we will continue to have fun pointing silly things like the documentary out to one another and complain about them.

Hey now, what's wrong with bitching about altered movie titles? I'll probably be bitching about "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" for quite a long time.

I'm far more of a fan compared to Indiana Jones. Hell, I have both boxsets sitting side by side due to they're being both Lucasfilm Ltd. Properties. To be honest, we're being overloaded with Star Wars merchandise and Indiana Jones is finally making a comeback the character so rightfully deserves.
Yes, I'm even going to buy the new Indiana Jones video game for XBOX 360 (including the Lego one) when it should be released in 2008 along with the action figures. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I got enthused about action figures. Star Wars just burned out on me. Yes, the Star Wars Trilogy has been double-dipped and triple dipped countless times over various formats. Sure it might be a "hotter" commodity to people but give me the character and the adventures of Indiana Jones any day. After years of domination of Star Wars in the market place, Indy FINALLY gets his turn!
(Hell, I even wish there'll be a 2-Disc set for each of the Indy films by the time Kingdom of the Crystall Skull hits cinemas. I'm talking a text commentary and a fully loaded second disc loaded with extras.)
Sorry about the earlier posts. They were uncalled for and crass. And yes I more believe Spielberg when he says he'll use less CGI unlike some other people who treat Star Wars as gold.
Even I thought Knights of the Old Republic I & II were superior compared to the trite that was TPM and AOTC.
Final fact: I gravitate more towards Indiana Jones media compared to Star Wars. I'll be DVR'ing the live-action TV series when it comes on in 2009...
And does anybody besides me know that Tucker: A Man and His Dream is also a Lucasfilm Ltd. title? WILLOW should also be re-released as a 2-Discer...

It isn't as much of a carefully guarded secret as you might think. I have never seen the film myself, but I new Lucas produced it.

As far as Star Wars overloaded with merchandise, that is an understatment. The market is flooded with Star Wars crap. I think things are easier to enjoy when you are not bombarded by them everytime you leave the house. I like the fact that Indiana Jones is popular, has a fantastic DVD release, and some neat niche merchandise that rather than flooding the toy section of Wal-Mart, remain confined to comic shops and SunCoast stores. With the release of the new film I am affraid marketing is going to go nuts, maybe not as bad as SW, but just the fact that there is a Lego Indy on the way... oh well.

Whoa! Where's the cane? Can Indy walk okay without it? I am starting to feel more and more convinced this whole thing was a really bad idea! This thing should have been made at least ten years ago, there was really no reason for it not to have been made then, and really no reason why it should be made now.

Really? I don't think they look too bad. I mean, he does look pretty old in the first picture, but... I don't know. It doesn't take away my hope just yet. They look kinda cool in a way, although I can't explain why.

I don't think he looks bad at all considering his actual age. I think this may be pretty good (I trying to be optimistic here!), I mean, we cannot expect Indy to be young forever.

Both of those statements are so true!!! And that is my point. Perhaps he doesn't look bad considering his age, but he is damn old for the role. And of course we can't expect him to be young forever, that is why we make sequels while our stars are still young, rather than pointlessly waiting a million years, then finally decided to get around to it. I could understand if the demand for it just wasn't there, but I remember people being thrilled about the idea of an Indy IV way, way back just a short time after Last Crusade came out. This movie would have been a money maker back then too, and it would have had a better chance of being good. Now it just feels like another crappy bookend to finish the Indy franchise off. Now the movies we like will be surrounded by a pretty crappy TV series, and possible a very crappy attempt to get a few more drops out of a fairly old cow. Even if the milk is still good, there is no denying that it would have tasted a lot better ten years ago.

I don't know. I'm still waiting until the movie actually comes out. I mean, everybody complained about Rocky Balboa until it actually came out, and it was received as a much better ending than Rocky V (since I've never seen either, I can't really say). While Last Crusade was certainly no Rocky V, an older Indy doesn't necessarily mean it will be bad. I mean, old people aren't useless. Look at Marcus Brody! He was great! And it's not like Harrison Ford is elderly or even approaching decrepit. While he's looking a bit rougher, he still looks like he can pull it off (based on those pictures HotRod posted).

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

"Look at Marcus Brody! He was great!"

Yeah, Marcus was great, but he was a secondary character and not the star. Though I must say, if they were to make a spin off starring Marcus Brody as the title character, I would be in-line there opening night! I would be so much more excited about that than I am about Crystal Skull. I remember when I first heard the name "The Phantom Menace" I wasn't quite sure what to think, but I decided "Hey, its a Star Wars movie, it'll be great" eight years later we all know how that went down. Now we hear the name "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and we all say, "Hey, its Indy, it'll be great!" Sorry for being pesimistic. Those screen shots (especially Shia with the little stash) just left a bad taste in my mouth. I have really been trying to be positive. Just seems like it is a very rare occasion that we are not disappointed by movies these days, gets really hard to let your hopes up about anything.

You do know that Marcus Brody got lost in his own museum?

I STILL don't know what to think when i hear the title 'the phantom menace'.

Re: Indy, I think he needs to be a little more scruffy looking. I mean if he's dressed like that then he's definitely off questing...

Wow, at first glace I really thought that I was looking at a Temple of Doom poster. Another bad omen, since Temple of Doom was a "failure" even according to Steven and George.

Kind of reminds me of the Disneyland ride a bit too.
