Your thoughts on Jones...Indiana?

Again, one of my favorites of all times.

I guess I've seen 'em 20 times or more each.

I can quote most of the lines before they say 'em.


Like a Star Wars geek, I s'pose.


Your thoughts?

And, IV is on the way.

I am looking forward to the movie. I'm sorry that Sean Connery did not want to reprise his role and stay in retirement.

Flat out cool adventure series.

#2 was the worst.

#3 had "the Name". Yay!

Loved them when I was a kid. I prefer to remember it when it was good, not see another sequel because Hollywood is out of original ideas.

Ford wasn't about to do this film, unless the script was right. There were many times that this film was going to made, but was shelved. I have heard good things so far.

Tom Selleck was supposed to be Indiana Smith, but there was this new series coming out called Magnum P.I. that conflicted.

As long as Kate Capshaw is not playing any part in the movie, will probably watch it.

Loved the others...

Looking forward to it! Bring it on. I love these type of movies. For that matter, they can do some more sequels for Tomb Raider too.

Thanks for the link, checked the pictures, and I guess having grown up on Indiana Jones, something just doesn't look right. Guess I'll wait for cable.

My friend Steve, who is a low-rung production assistant, worked on this film while it was filming at Yale University. He was able to sneak a peek at the script and has very high expectations for the movie; he also says that Speilburg is the most affable director he has yet worked under.

I worked in a movie theater the day after the second star wars movie started. Worked there for several years, could do a lot of stuff from memory from several movies. Mrs Cleaver speakin' jive is pretty much the best, to my mind.

Indy was more of a physical guy than a dialogue guy, like when she drills him in the chin with the mirror after he bested a truckload of nazis and was run over by a truck this happens.


My friend, I am so pleased to see you are not dead.


We have top men working on it.

We watched #'s 1 and 3 last night.
That's what got me thinking.

Indy rocks! I feel it is one of the best action/adventure flicks. Just a great roller coaster ride.

When Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom first came out on VHS, I was in High School, attending a Christian school. My Bible teacher felt that the movie portrayed the Ark of the Covenant so well, he actually showed the movie in class! He was an archaeology buff, and felt that alot of what was portrayed in the film was quite accurate (like the map room, for example)

Looking forward to Part 4!

i really hope they went easy on the CGI
Indiana jones movies rocked in part because the stunts and action had a realistic look to it,
which is something that's just completely missing in most modern day movies " a realistic look to action scenes"
