*not watching not watching not watching*

I want to be 100% new to everything in this movie when I camp out and see it.

But kakdetty, that's tempting.

Too many explosions in the trailer.

I won't lie, that looks awesome.

JOKE TIME:

So there was this blond girl who went in for a job interview. At the end of it, the interviewer says "okay just one last thing; we have to ask some really simple questions and time your response just to make sure of your mental aptitude." The blonde says okay and he asks the first question: "how many 'D's in 'Indiana Jones?"

So she sits there for a few minutes, obviously deep in thought, and finally says "fourteen". The interviewer says "I'm sorry, that's not correct, but I really have to know how you came up with that number." She says "well, I just counted. You know, 'dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee, dee dee dee-dee....'"

(this joke works better when you say it out loud and you can actually do the tune of the song)

30% of the film has CGI. Spielberg still wanted to do a majority of it with practical effects though.

2008-02-14, 1:11 PM #24
30% is not that much, to be honest. There are a lot of movies that use effects shots these days that you're not even going to notice unless you watch a "making of" documentary.

It used to be the case that hollywood movies with big celebrities were absolutely guaranteed box office hits, but in recent years this is no longer the case. People are more willing to see unknown actors and independent movies. But people will still always go see a sequel, even if it's utterly utterly awful it is still a guaranteed box office hit.
As a result, we now we have to suffer through Die Hard, Rambo, and Indiana Jones being resurrected. Maybe it's time for a new Beverly Hills Cop movie too!

...Die Hard 4 was awesome. And Rambo's supposed to be really good too.

I'm just happy that action movies are making a comeback. Theres hardly any real actors left in mainstream movies anyway, they're all just prettyboys apart from Steve Buscemi. At least with action movies there isnt a big emphasis on the acting.

:P
nope.
2008-02-15, 1:09 PM #39
what. Die Hard 4 was awful.

The flimsy, predictable and generally fairly silly 'cyber-terrorism' storyline served only as a semi-necessary background for a series of generic action scenes. Yeah, killing a helicopter with a car was pretty damn cool but the scene on the highway with the fighter plane was just absurd.
The thing that made the Die Hard movies a classic franchise was the borderline-believable action scenes. Bruce Willis running barefoot across a floor covered in broken glass ends up being the most exciting and heart pounding scene.

Die Hard is a classic 80s franchise, and it's still great fun to watch and heark back to a time when bad guys were bad guys, good guys were good guys, action ensued and somehow a great movie emerged in the end.
Dragging classics kicking and screaming into the 21st century simply doesn't work. The CGI just made everything a little ridiculous, and the 'computer hacking' scenes just made everything awfully ridiculous (though pretty much every movie ever that involves anyone doing anything on a computer suffers this absurdity, Die Hard is not the worst offender by far).

The only reason Die Hard 4 made money was because the main character was called 'John McLane' and the movie had 'Die Hard' in the title. Yes, I'm as guilty of this as anyone else, I went to see it for precisely this reason too. I wasn't expecting much, and I wasn't dissapointed.
If the same movie was called 'Generic Goodguy saves day from one-dimensional bad guy 4.0!' with Bruce Willis playing 'Johnny McJohnjohn', it would served as a parody of the Die Hard trilogy, much like Die Hard 4 was, and failed miserably.

I expect Indiana Jones to be precisely the same.

Actually a lot of the effects in Live Free or Die Had were done practically. I think the only ones done with CG were those involving that jet fighter towards the end.

But yeah, it still wasn't that great of a movie - fun for what it was though. Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance are the only ones I like those - Die Hard 2 was crap.
