Did anyone notice that the Beeb showing Last Crusade in the wrong fucking aspect ratio last night?
I noticed some weird motion blur thing going on too in some scenes, although that might have just been my crappy TV/aerial.

Registered 16 years agoAS Crispy said, it seemed to have been from a copy they first showed on Christmas Day 1991.
It was horrible and Im sure I have seen a 16:9 on the beeb before. -

Registered 18 years agoIn the Last Crusade before he finds "X marks the spot" in the Library, is that fake book shelf behind him a stupid mistake or it's actually part of such places for effect or a secret passageway ? So obvious to me every time.
IGN reviewed the latest movie and said the CGI was too much. Didn't want to hear that. Lucas you cunt! Haven't heard anyone else mention it so maybe it's just the tech savvy looking closer than they should. It would be better than the fake scenes on the raft in Temple of Doom and the fighter scenes in Last Crusade so hopefully it looks real most of the time. -

Really? I read this on the BBC article:
"Spielberg tried to make the film using old-fashioned B-movie techniques, rather than computer graphics, in keeping with the original trilogy."

Registered 18 years agoSeems for some reason (and its been the same for the other 2) last night the BBC showed it in 4:3 on BBC1, but in its proper ratio (or much closer, was wider than 16:9) on BBC HD. Very strange that. Did look marvelous in HD though
Looking forward to the new one! -

Probably a fuss over nothing. I bet he is referring to that cliff edge car barrage that looked seriously dodgy in the first trailer. -

Registered 15 years agoIt's got 73% on rottentomatoes at the moment, which is actually better than I thought. I don't think this film would be bad at all, but if you were going to compare it to Raiders or The Last Crusade, then it will probably be a tad disappointing.
GO INDY. -

Registered 16 years agoYup. I have high hopes for this film (which I'm seeing on thursday). And by high hopes, I mean I expect to enjoy it and for it to sit comfortably with the other 3 films. That's high enough, don't you think?
Of course, it's the little moments that make the films just as much as the big set pieces. I've no doubt that Indy IV will wow us with great big set pieces - but what will really make the film are just those 2 or 3 second exchanges between two characters or visual gags ('Nice try, Lao Che!' from Temple of Doom springs to mind) which set the films apart and really give the characters life. Ford and the other actors are still capable of pulling those moments off, so I hope that they are given plenty of opportunities to! -

Registered 16 years agoJust read the 4 star review in The Times. It mentions a lot of the things people are moaning about, but doesnt really linger on them, so they seem to be accurate, but whether they are game breaking seems to be a matter of opinion. -
Anyone else hear the soundbite from Spielberg suggesting that this one is a litmus test for the general public's response to a new Indiana Jones film as to whether to continue making more new ones...? Disturbing... 
/ -
There were supposedly 5 basic plots worked out but they didn't take into account that there would be such a significant gap between the original 3 and the latest film.
I'm also fearing a Shia spin-off series, as they never managed to make the Young Indiana Jones films with River Phoenix but perhaps it's just post-New Trilogy Lucas fear... -

Registered 20 years agoIf they fuck the series by introducing Le Boef's character as "the new indy" I'll personally go and puke on Spielberg / Lucas' doormats.
My money's on the old cuntbag trying to find more employment for Jake Lloyd just so he can get the little fucker coked up and rim him like a toilet duck during the film's production. -

Registered 16 years agoI wouldn't recommend reading any reviews, by the way.
I'm by no means anal about spoilers, but for some reason for Indy IV, most reviewers seem to forego the usual etiquette of giving a brief rundown of what the story is about, and instead have for some reason decided to go for a synopsis of the whole freakin' plot.
I've accidentally read more than I wanted to already. Not enough to ruin the film for me, but just things I wish I had known about for the first time from seeing them on the big screen. While that might be the risk of reading reviews, I really think the critics gone above and beyond the call of spoilery duty here.
Also, I wish they would stop feeling the need to say 'It could never be as good as Raiders, so it's always going to be disappointing' as a preface to the review because:
a) Why could it never be as good as Raiders? Sure, it's a lofty aim, but why not?
b) Assuming it isn't as good as Raiders, why does that have to be disappointing? Aren't we allowed to just be glad to have some more without having our little hearts sink, seeing as they don't appear to have Matrixed-- uh, I mean mucked it up too badly? -

Registered 20 years agore: spoilers. When I was a lad, and Empire strikes back came out at the cinema, the comics I read at the time had a weekly cartoon strip which summarised the story of the film (basically an advert), so that the last strip co-incided with the film coming out. Consequently, I remember, I was able to tell my dad whilst watching the film that the little funny green guy was yoda
For reasons I won't go into, I've now got an Indiana Jones sticker album, and if you read through it, it gives the whole plot away.
Clearly, George Lucas doesn't give a shit about spoilers, when marketing his films to kids. -

Registered 20 years agoThere've been a number of shows on Discovery about crystal skulls. One of them was a show about archaeology in general but linking it to Indy. The segment near the end about the skulls makes me think I have a fairly good damn idea what the general idea of the plot is. Especially worrying as the show was produced by Lucasfilm.
I hope this turns about to be misdirection. -

I really don't think Lucas will have been allowed to fuck it up. Spielberg is famously opposed to the cinematic techniques Lucas is a fan of (ie, digital) and Indy has always been his baby despite it always being a joint venture. I know the plot idea is Lucas' and it's been around for several years and both Ford and Spielberg opposed it in the past, but in terms of the general feel of the film that's in Spielbergs hands and I can't believe that he would drop the ball.
I'm expecting to have fun, nothing more! -

What a lot of rubbish. Sticker albums have been around for decades, since when did Lucas invent them or have anything to do with them?
By the way, what's so mysterious about how you got an Indy album? Your mate run a corner shop?
