So I finally saw Indy 4

He has no chin.

 

Are you really trying to compare LaBeouf's performances in Transformers and Indy 4 to Hirsch in Into the Wild and Milk?? I mean, I thought Stallone was much better in Rocky and Cop Land than Clint Eastwood was in The Rookie and Space Cowboys. :

While I tend to agree that Hirsch is the better actor, it's absurd to try to compare what was asked of them in those movies and to exclude Speed Racer.

You never saw Goonies?

 

Hey, hey, hey, lay off my boy Shia.

I grew up watching him on Even Stevens. He's likeable and charismatic in his own quirky way.

I thought he and Ford did the best they could with such a terrible, terrible screenplay.

 

Here's my deal: If I were to list things I've taken away from Indy 4, both good and bad...Shia the Beef would be in the good half. Well into it, in fact. He didn't suck.

The CGI was just...um...really. Wow. The rubber masks and stop-motion stuff of Raiders is still riveting. CGI gophers? CGI ants? Are you expecting me to feel anything at this shit?

The ending reminded me of Mission to Mars. This is not a good thing.

 

I liked Shia in Transformers and I, Robot, but other than that, I don't think he's done anything I can remember. I figure he's a draw cause women like him, but they're not the one's going to see most of these action flicks.

 

The ants thing might have been cool had I not already seen it 45 times in the Mummy movies.

 

You knew it was going to suck when Lucas was mouthing homilies such as "It's just a movie" in pre-release interviews.

They knew it. Grotesque plot, absurd special effects, and a tired Ford.

Godspeed. Lost Ark and Last Crusade were great. I'll settle.

 

Ford had script approval. The movie took so long to make because Mucas, Spielberg and Ford had to agree.

I didn't get why there was so much bad CGI (CGI in space, acceptable and often good. CGI in a jungle, bad and obvious) when Spielberg gave interviews during production talking about how happy he was to be making movies the old way (with stunts and such) again.

But again, both those titans have lost it quite a bit in recent years. Guns into walkie-talkies in the ET re-release? Was he stoned?

 

I thought it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a theater.

 

I saw it on an overseas flight. I would have walked out, but it would have been a hell of a drop.

 

Good god, do you live on the moon or something.

 

Close. Morocco.
