Indiana Jones? The last action hero? Has the left finished off one of the last real action heroes of the modern age?

Dang, Joe. You just gave the movie away. After your recap of the movies the other night, I started at the first one last night and was gonna watch em all again before the latest stream came out. Now you gave it all away. I tkink anyweay. I stopped reading when it looked like you were gonna throw out spoilers.

I think somebody got permabanned once for giving away the end of a Star Wars movie on here a long time ago. Or maybe it was Star Trek. I forget. lolol....

I didn't get anywhere near giving away the ending. I merely described the characters and their motivations, which I hate to say, isn't complicated. He's Indiana Jones. he punches Nazis. This isn't complicated.

Like Star Wars, I prefer to remember great films at their peak, not geriatric old coots milked back on screen just to tease a few dollars more from fans, so I cut off Indiana at his Crystal Skulls just as I cut off Star Wars with Lucas' original six.

Far better to just see greatness again in 4K UHD than Indiana and Hans Solo in a wheelchair.

Hmmm.

Here's the thing. Harrison Ford is kind of my Generation's John Wayne. My dad loved John Wayne movies, even though by the time I was growing up, Wayne was a fat old man living on past glories, getting a sympathy Oscar for True Grit because they thought he was going to die.

Should he still be doing this at 80? I don't know, I thought he looked pretty cool as Indy. (I don't have quite as high an opinion of him as Han Solo in the SW Sequels, because I think he was phoning that one in, and the sequels are awful for a whole host of reasons that I could fill pages with.)

I like this movie BETTER Than I liked Crystal Skull, because frankly, a Flying Saucer doesn't belong in an Indiana Jones Movie.

And yet Trump embraces the Proud Boys, let's racist websites like VDare post at the RNC.

Come on, man, your side needs to do a full-throated unambiguous denunciation of racists.... no molly-coddling.

Now, do you have anything to say about the movie you haven't seen?

Proud Boys arent racists...their former leader was a
black cuban you moron.

Proud Boys arent racists

Whoops.

Members of the right-wing extremist group, the Proud Boys, have been ordered to pay more than a million dollars as part of a civil suit judgment involving the destruction of property in December 2020 at the predominantly Black campus of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.

DC Superior Court Judge Neal E. Kravitz approved Friday’s default judgment against Proud Boys members Joseph R. Biggs, Enrique Tarrio, Jeremy Bertino and John Turano, as well as the group’s limited liability corporation.

In a blistering order, Kravitz described the “highly orchestrated” and “hateful and overtly racist conduct” from members of the Proud Boys during the “attack” on the Metropolitan AME church, in which a Black Lives Matter sign owned by the church was allegedly destroyed.

Does anyone actually want to discuss the Indiana Jones Movie?

Yeah....again...they had a black cuban guy as their leader....explain again how they are a racist group.......and a left wing judge in D.C....? Really?

 

[surada]

No...they haven't....you guys have lied about them because you can't have the worst mass murdering governments since 1917 being left wing.....so you lie about the national socialists.....

Go back to school .

 

[JoeMoma]

They should do what they have done with Bond and rotate in a new actor.....dittos for Han Solo........

Agreed. That said, the Harrison Ford of yesteryear would be difficult to follow, but could be done.

I guess I'm one of the few that wasn't bothered by aliens being the "supernatural" element to the Crystal Skull. I found that movie entertaining enough, even with nuking the fridge.

With the bad reviews, I probably will not go see this new IJ movie in theaters, but I will probably watch it in a year or two.
