Yes! I noticed the exact same, and was waiting for somebody to bring it up! A friend of mine asked me how Phoebe Walker-Bridge is in the movie, and I said she's like if Indy went on an adventure with a female Belloq.

The problem with Chapek was he was, exactly as you said, a dry, pencil-pusher running the largest entertainment company in the world. I think what sealed the nail in the coffin for him was the "animation is for children" line, which was 100% antithetical to how Walt ran the company. You couldn't...

I enjoyed this movie immensely. I never played the game, but I enjoy old fashioned 1980s sword and sorcery stuff and this was great! Campy, but with plenty of humor to let you know to relax and have some fun. In the end, the movie was extremely entertaining and it didn't need to be anything but.

^I'd take Porgs over that thing. It looks like a rat.

That would be a real shame. The movie is far from bad. Maybe not the movie I'd wanted, but still a fun adventure, and in the end maybe that's all it needed to be.

I have mixed feelings about this one. All our heroes have gotten old and sad, and it made it kinda depressing to watch. Added to that, there were a few details that felt like deliberate jabs at Crystal Skull, which I just felt did "Old Man Indy" better. At the same time, I can't deny it was fun...

Funny enough, they were only banned outright in NY because of West Side Story. :lol:

Completely agree!

Shhhhh! You're ruining their delusions!

Any day now, I promise! And then they're gonna decanonize the ST, hire ONLY SW fans to make the movies (regardless of whether they know what they're doing, or what makes a good movie), and Kathleen Kennedy will commit seppuku for her destructive transgressions against our beloved franchise...

HJ said they styled this one off a late 1960s cut. While 1930s fedoras were styled in an exaggerated flair, with almost comically oversized crowns (think Mugsy in Looney Tunes), fedora wearing was beginning to disappear in the early 60s. Many blame Kennedy not wearing a hat at his inauguration...

Actually, it's only 2 years to Avatar 3. Disney pushed it back from December 2024 to December 2025 due to the writer's strike. But more to the point about merchandising, let's face it: if we're measuring a movie's cultural impact by merchandising sales, I'd say there's very few movies these...

Didn't Luke's grandson become a drug addict because he couldn't handle the legacy associated with his name?

Ironically enough, the ST is just a slight tweak of the post-RotJ stuff: Kylo = Jacen Solo Imperial Remnant = First Order Palpatine returns with a really flimsy explanation to try to possess a body Eclipse = Xyston-class Star Destroyer Han dies instead of Chewie And I didn't even like it all...

HJ Poet is once again the supplier to Indiana Jones! They revealed their Destiny Poet recently, and actually confirms something I noticed in the leaked production images: Indy's hat uses a brown ribbon this time. Destiny Poet - Nutmeg Rabbit
