Raiders of the Lost Ark is a true classic, but Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are useless sequels that didn't need to be made, and 18 years later, Indy IV does not need to be made either. This is what is wrong with hollywood, there is nothing original anymore, it is sequel, sequel, sequel, with big budget effects to dazzle every teenage kid.
I rarely go to the movies anymore until November/December, cause that is the only time when the good movies are on the big screen, you know, the dramas, the ones with a good story, good directing, and good acting. Indy IV is just another summer movie that will have 2 hours of pointless action, no story, and the only reason people will see it is because we love the Harrison Ford character.
I won't eat crow, and again it has nothing to do with Lucas, I made this thread cause I am in shock that another director went against the golden rule in Hollywood, talk bad about your fellow colleagues, so there has to be something to this. Cassidy, you made a thread about not respecting SW fans opinions under 30, yet you say this movie will rock? There is no need for this movie, it is another pointless sequel of the other sequels that dominate the summer boxoffice, and you know who the target market is? Under 30 age group!
Also, I object to being maligned by your comment about not respecting the opinions of those under 30.
I am tired of being bashed around here, misquoted, misrepresented, and mistreated. Enough is enough.
On the day I made that thread, all I saw was pissing and moaning around here, and I've had it with negativity. If people have nothing better to do with their lives than sit of the internet and talk about how George Lucas fucked up their dreams, than they should just jump off a bridge and spare all of us.
You know, it's ironic that I get taken to task over something as innocent as "guys, lighten up." What's wrong with being positive? What's wrong with having an optimistic outlook on things?
Your assumption that Indy IV is going to suck because Lucas nixed Darabont's script is just another example of the way people jump to grand conclusions around here because they (and I'm NOT pointing a finger at you, I'm generalizing) take themselves too goddamned seriously to sit back and enjoy a movie that isn't going to alter the universe one way or the other.
If ANYONE here thinks they can do better than Lucas I can't wait to see your movie. Stop complaining and do better.
Why Thank You...
