Indiana Jones and Those Damned Filthy Hippies
Indiana Jones and Those Damned Filthy Hippies
I wonder if they'll return to the Temple of Doom or something in that area.
I think this nails the real problem around the character.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Jones and his neo-colonial baggage only travel in a world that the audience views as culturally and technologically unsophisticated. "The Dark Heart of Africa" shit doesn't appeal when you have spy satellites and GPS.
And what are they gonna do? Ford is so damned old. This shit will embarrass everyone involved, the way the last "Rambo" movie did.
Indiana Jones is a tough character outside of the world where you can punch undeniable Nazis in the face.

Hell, the way the last Indiana Jones did.
Would have to be with a Sean Connery-ish approach.Quoting Irish (view post)
No thank you.
Still down with the refrigerator toss, lol. Good god.
James Mangold to take over?

My opinion of Mangold has improved since Logan and Ford v. Ferrari so I think he'd do a good job. Also happy if this means Spielberg can work on something else instead of repeating himself for a fifth time, considering his age and dwindling time left to make movies.

The last Indy wasn't hot so perhaps new directing blood is the way to go.

Good choice!
Each new Indiana Jones film has been worse than the last (I like the first two!), so this is probably a good thing.
Last 10 Movies Seen
(90+ = canonical, 80-89 = brilliant, 70-79 = strongly recommended, 60-69 = good, 50-59 = mixed, 40-49 = below average with some good points, 30-39 = poor, 20-29 = bad, 10-19 = terrible, 0-9 = soul-crushingly inept in every way)
Run (2020) 64
The Whistlers (2019) 55

I think Spielberg has completely lost any nerve he might have ever had.
I don't think today's Spielberg would even be capable of making the films he made 30 years ago.
He is the poster child for "an old white man who makes movies for old white men"
You're not wrong. That being said, it would be rad as hell if out of nowhere he started making hard R horror and sci-fi shit. Like real hardcore gross out 80s Cronenberg body horror.
I don't need hard R, I just want his imagination back.
Spielberg's best work has always been his genre stuff. It's no surprise everyone stopped caring about his movies when he forgot how to have any kind of fun.
Midnight Run (1988) - 9
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
Sisters (1973) - 6.5
Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
His next movie is a musical.
So from Ford vs. Ferrari to....Ford vs. Something else.

Mangold has basically been attached to every major franchise since Logan.

This will most likely suck, so of course I'll be seeing it in theaters.
