Hey, it's only been ... 18 years since the last film! And 26 since the first one! O_o (I feel almost as old as Harrison!) What say you: Must see or must miss?

I can recite Raiders of the Lost Ark, what I love is that Star Wars really helped his career but it was Indy that really solidified it for him.
Raiders, wow, I have no idea how many times I've seen it, but it's a LOT. And I agree, Star Wars launched Harrison but Indy is the reason he's not voicing cartoons right now like Mark Hamill! (And I was so never a Luke girl, heh! It was only ever about Han!)
See, my love of bad boys with a heart goes way back. *smile*
Oh and apparently no Sean Connery in this one either..I'm okay with that but I would have loved to have seen all the generations at one time on screen.
And they are filming over next week in CT. How close am I to jumping on an Amtrak train to go and watch it. of course it's about 3 hours away, but if I can go to NYC for a day trip tomorrow, I should at least go and see them making another movie in one of my favorite all time series, right? *smile*
And at least Jensen has good taste! Dean and Sawyer owe a lot to Indy, I think!
Though, I haven't gotten around to seeing the Star Wars movies yet. Well, I saw the new ones but I've never seen the ones that were actually supposed to be good.
that is all.
but you know, see Raiders and Last Crusade, Temple of Doom can be skipped.
Frankly, I'm glad that Connery won't be in it.
What's the release date on this?
I think it's coming out July 2008 but I could be wrong.
On the movie - meh. I wont hype over it, that's for sure, but I'll probably end up watching it anyway.
And I'm going to have to check the Indy movie out. How could I not?
but i may have to change that - harrison ford is still mighty sexy!
OH MY GOD! *shuns*
How is that possible? Seriously, if you do catch up, do NOT see the second Indiana Jones film. It's truly dreadful. But the first one is one of the best action films ... no, simply one of the best FILMS period. I've seen it so many times, I've lost count! And wow, everyone always compares Sawyer to Han Solo for good reason!
And I still wanna name my dog Indiana (If I'll ever get one, that is)
:)
And heh, I think the original Indiana Jones was a shaggy sheepydog!
I was thinking of doing some kind of post where people vote who's cooler, Indy or Han solo!
Anyway, yeah, it might be too late but we'll see.
Gah, I don't know if I could choose between Han and Indy! Han had better sidekicks and a better run of films (honestly) but Indy is, well, INDY! And he had a whip. I think it might come down to the whip and the hat vs. Chewbacca!
He's aged okay, I guess ... but his movie choices is really the thing that's brought him down, lately. He turned down Michael Douglas' role in Traffic, I hear and the Al Pacino role in Insomnia and both of those would have been perfect for him! Especially the latter one, ooh, I would have loved to see that. But I think he's so used to getting a big paycheck and playing the action hero. He's kind of rivalling Nicolas Cage for shitty movie choices, alas! But everyone wants to see him as Indy again, so .. *fingers crossed*
I've loved Harrison since I was a kid..I think he's my longest and still tried and true crush.
And I'm so with you. I'll always love Harrison.
I'm kinda on the fence about this one, because while I adore the hell out of Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones movies (except for Temple of Doom), I can't help but think back to the last Harrison Ford action-type movie I saw (which was Firewall, which was bad) where, every time the man fell over, or landed on his back, I was afraid he was going to break something.
But I'll probably see it anyway, because it's Indiana Jones, and how can I not? Unless Kate Capshaw is in it. Then I'm out again. ;)
And wow, I didn't even bother to see Firewall. The last Harrison movie I saw was K:19 The Widowmaker, where he had this dreadful Russian accent and the whole thing was just awful and depressing as hell.
I hear you on the Kate Capshaw hatred. All she does is scream her head off for the entire film, just like Kim Basinger in the first Batman film or Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman. What is it with shrieky blondes in action films anyway? And don't get me started on Short Round!
Eh, Shia's waaaay too young for me, heh. I just hope he's a major step up from Short Round! *shudders*
I loved that movie probably even more than Raiders, because it gave me the reasons for a lot of Indy's characteristics, starting from his name, his fear for snakes... Plus, Sean Connery! And River Phoenix too...
Anyway, I loved both Han & Indy, so I'll watch it even if it will suck, but I hope not! Apparently he has lost some weight, and maybe exercised a bit, because he seems better than in his last films. At least, I hope so.
:)
