Indiana Jones and the Fortress of Suckitude
By Mr. Atoz in Film
Those of us whose formative childhood memories include snake pits and being chased by giant stone spheres have been awaiting the release of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull with a mixture of anticipation and dread. Would the new movie make us feel like the excited 10-year-olds we were back when we first met Indy? Or would George Lucas exercise his awesome talent for sodomizing his own franchises and give us some earthly version of Jar Jar Binks?
Well, an operative for AICN has seen a sneak preview of the movie, and the news ain’t good. This guy obviously learned his grammar, syntax, and keyboard skills from Courtney Love, but the message is clear: Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull pulses with all the energy and excitement of a Fred Thompson presidential bid. Worse yet, he claims that the special effects are cheesy and inept, and for the last ten years special effects have been the only thing George Lucas was any good at. Well, rats. Guess I’ll be re-seeing Iron Man and trying to ignore the Indy trailer at the beginning.

Mr. Atoz
Spielberg’s direction is certainly grounds for hope, as is the fact that Lucas didn’t write the actual screenplay. But the project’s been in development hell for nearly twenty years, and that’s rarely a good sign.

It could be worse. If they would have cast Calista Flockhart instead of Cate Blanchett. She’s in that flick, right?

I trust Cate Blanchett.

I don’t know. I saw the trailer before Iron Man also, and I thought it looked pretty good. Reaction of the people around me was the same.
Unfortunately the review of the screening gets a whole paragraph before he starts with the spoilers (at least he warned us), so I won’t be reading that.
As of right now, color me skeptical… of the skeptics. I think this movie will be pretty decent. Keep in mind they were going downhill before they stopped making them — I doubt it’ll be as good as the first (how could it be?) but I think it will be enjoyable.
