Anyone else catch what appears to be the Millennium Falcon flying? That can't not be intentional. 😀

Really excited for this one.

Good trailer, bloody terrible title. Still, I'm interested.

Yes.  I was trying to make allowances for it being a pulpy throwback, but the alliteration is too much.

I really, really want to keep my expectations in check due to Crystal Skull and how long it's been since we've gotten anything from this franchise, but dammit, we got a glimpse of freaking Sallah of all people and it just brought a big old smile to my face!  And while plenty can be said about his age and how lax he's been in his previous roles lately, I really do get the sense that Indy is important to Harrison Ford and seems to be putting more effort here.  

Plus, Phoebe Waller-Bridge!  And while it totally might be a cliche at this point to have Mads Mikkelsen play your villainous Nazi (I'm guessing?), dammit, you just know good old Mads will deliver!

It would be astounding if it wasn't better than Crystal Skull.  It wouldn't be the first time they've course corrected after an even numbered movie by using the classics (Sallah! Nazis! Indy on horseback!).   Plus Phoebe Waller-Bridge >>> Shia LeBeouf and Indy needs a good sidekick to bounce off of.

Add me to the list … I thought it was way better than Temple of Doom. 

[Fool to cry]

I like both but I think Crystal Skull works better if people were more familiar with 50s sci-fi B movies. 

[greekmom]

Ford is 80 years old. The franchaise should have wrapped it up 30 years ago and with Ford passing the hat to someone else. Or even have Hollywood come up with another idea or even recast. Look at James Bond.

I am passing on this one.

[Fool to cry]

Watching RAIDERS for the first time is like meeting a cool new friend and you have the time of your life going to new places and doing exciting things that you want to always remember.

TOD is like seeing him again but going to scarier and wilder places with a little kid and annoying girl and in the middle he gets drunk and mean. He sobers up and it turns out happy but it still not one you want to do again.

LAST CRUSADE is going on a trip like the first time doing the same thing but now he has his estranged dad along and it's actually fun watching them bicker and sweet when they reconcile.

CRYSTAL SKULL is like he's gotten old and what used to be exciting has become routine and depressing and now it's best he settle down and retire.

What I hope DIAL will be is you meet your friend and you know he doesn't have much time left but instead of being sad you go out one more time having fun doing new things and having a final great memory of him.

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" (June 30, theaters): Harrison Ford is back for the fifth and final time as the world-renowned archaeologist, who teams with his goddaughter Helena (Waller-Bridge) to snag a prized artifact before Nazis do in a 1969-set adventure.

I'm in it for Mads. I mean, Fleabag too, but I don't know if Phoebe alone would get my ass in a seat. Mads always will, even if I'm sick of American directors thinking he can only play a bad guy. But anyway. Otherwise, I don't really care.

In ROGUE ONE he actually played a sympathetic character!

Harrison Ford: “I Know Who the F*** I Am”
BY JAMES HIBBERD     FEBRUARY 8, 2023

“Harrison is not unlike Indy in the sense he’s carrying with him the scars of all the films he’s made — as well as his own private calamities,” Dial of Destiny director James Mangold says. “He is literally this embodiment of all those bruises, broken bones and being bounced off walls and being thrown to the floor over so many years.”
*  *  *
Critics came down pretty hard on the last Indiana Jones movie. Now that some years have passed, what’s your feeling about it?

Where are they now?

Well, they’re still pretty harsh on it.

No. I mean, [the critics] were harsh on it, but what are they doing now? I understand. But those were their rules — not [director Steven Spielberg’s and co-writer George Lucas’] rules. They were imposing their rules on what the movie should be. I don’t feel it’s necessary to address those issues. I think that everyone has a right to their opinion. The film was not as successful as we wanted it to be, perhaps. But it didn’t create an attitude or a behavior that carried over into this film. 

The film had a lot of “old Indy” jokes. It feels like that itself is outdated and that you have settled into who you are now.

Yeah. In [Dial of Destiny] there were a lot of old jokes in the script. We took them all out. There is a moment where he observes himself in this situation and says, “What the fuck am I doing in here?” But I hate what I call “talking about the story.” I want to see circumstances in which the audience gets a chance to experience the story, not to be led through the nose with highlights pointed out to them. I’d rather create behavior that is the joke of age rather than talk about it.

What was it like working with James Mangold instead of Steven Spielberg on this one?

Jim developed the script, so I knew what we were getting when we were going in that direction. But Steven’s still on the picture and has always been on the picture. He’s not the director this time, but he’s intimately involved.

What was your reaction when somebody first mentioned the idea of de-aging you for the film’s opening sequence?
...
I never loved the idea until I saw how it was accomplished in this case — which is very different than the way it’s been done in other films I’ve seen. They’ve got every frame of film, either printed or unprinted, of me during 40 years of working with Lucasfilm on various stuff. I can act the scene and they sort through with AI every fucking foot of film to find me in that same angle and light. It’s bizarre and it works and it is my face.

I know you’re not a nostalgic guy, but how did it feel putting on the hat and the jacket and whip for what is probably the last time?

(As if first learning of the role) I’m playing this archaeologist … who wears a brown fedora … and a leather jacket regardless of the weather … and carries a whip? OK, I’ll do it! Look, it was bizarre to start with, and it’s bizarre again. But that feeling goes away immediately because it’s so grounded in other things.

What’s the tone like? Each film is slightly different.

What I love is that we’re meeting him at a different point in his life to where we’ve seen him in these other films. It’s a logical place for him to be at this stage, considering his behavior and what he spent his time doing. It’s a very interesting script Jim came up with.

Has there been any other actor you’ve seen and thought: “That kid might fit”?

Tom Selleck [who was originally offered Raiders of the Lost Ark but CBS wouldn’t let him out of his Magnum, P.I. contract].

Poor guy. You’ve got to feel for him a little bit.

No. I feel lucky I got it. But I don’t feel that he’s had an unlucky career. He seems like a happy guy.

I'm always in favour of punching nazis! Or straight up killing them. However, I hope they aren't given any dignity beforehand. I want them to go out like chumps.

I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. 

[Simon Boccanegra]

I think Raiders of the Lost Ark deserves its classic status; Temple of Doom is quite good (I appreciate the ways in which it tries to be different, even the terrified girly-girl love interest); Last Crusade is a lazy, safe retread, and Crystal Skull is better than its rep and a satisfying send-off for the main characters. I can't say I've been eagerly anticipating a fifth film in this series with an elderly Indy, and the handoff from Spielberg to James Mangold doesn't make me more excited, because I haven't liked his other films. But if I hear that it's good, sure, why not?

I mean there was a TV show in the 90s! Now re-edited into 22 movies, most I quite liked.

Yes, and it was a pretty good show.  Hard to believe it didn't last longer.  Could be a model for the continuation of the movie franchise.
