"Indiana Jones 5 is due to begin filming in the UK next week, we have confirmed with sources close to the production" - https://deadline.com/2021/06/indiana...en-1234767764/ I've got a friend who works at Pinewood so I'll see if he knows anything...

Indiana Jones and the Geriatric Therapy Center of Perdition

Christ, Harrison Ford is nearly 20 years older than Sean Connery was when he played his doddery old dad in The Last Crusade, what are they going to do with this one?! I think it's time to accept that all the action stars we liked as kids are way past it now. Also I noticed some photos from the set the other day featured Nazis again, how are they going to explain Indy ageing by about 40 years between 1938 when The Last Crusade was set and whatever point in WW2 the new one is set? Unless it's going to be flashbacks.....

Unless it's going to be flashbacks..... Flashbacks with CGI de-aging? Better work on that posture, too *cough* The Irishman *cough*. Mind you, not all the action stars of our past are out to pasture - I just saw pics of Sly Stallone (74) beasting his workout routine ... man's a fucking machine! However, yeah, in general we need better action stars these days. Too many pretty boys held up by wires and CGI. Not enough tough n gritty icons.

Hollywood is a total joke today. Tough and gritty movies and actors pretty much completely went away years ago.

I had a further look and it does indeed look like that's the way it's going, flashback scenes and there are some photos of a younger guy wearing a very convincing looking "Harrison Ford in his youth" mask for some stunts. Yeah Sly is still in good shape for his age, Arnold as well. I met Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers a couple of years ago at a con and both of them are still strong guys. I thought Carl was going to crush my hand when we did a "Predator" handshake!

OK! That could be interesting. A story of young/old Indy could have some depth to it. Fingers crossed!

OK! That could be interesting. A story of young/old Indy could have some depth to it. Fingers crossed! Indeed. There could be something in there. Hopefully it'll not look weird and the stunt guy being 'young Indy' will have the right physical presence and stature etc, just the way he moves, you know? Maybe it'll be something Indy did in the past that comes back to haunt him, some adventure he went on, or some relic he got his hands on - or possibly hid - that former Nazis now want, or something like that? Despite some of it's wobbly moments (e.g. monkeys), I really quite enjoyed Indy #4 and felt it pretty much carried the same tone over. Some of the flack it got for "unrealistic" action sequences was just silly considering the stuff that goes on in the 2nd and 3rd movies! It's supposed to be that vibe - it's a 30s serial! The second movie has plenty of it's own bullshit going on, to be honest. I never quite got on with the second flick overall - some great bits, but there was something that always put me off it a bit ... it's always been my least favourite of the four. The first and third was masterful, though. ... Also, did you see the latest bit of clickbait bullshit flying around the web lately? Karen Allen getting asked by an interviewer of Indy was a paedo 'cos of a couple of lines of dialogue in the first movie. Clickbait really is a cancerous creation, isn't it?

There's definitely some dumb shit going on in 2 and 3 but 4 goes way overboard. The whole jeep thing over the edge... Don't get me started.

I haven't seen 4 yet. You mean there is something in it worse than surviving a nuke (or whatever) by hiding inside a fridge?!? I even forgot about that. That's dumb too. The whole film is moronic.

Temple of Doom is way better than Crystal Skull. No comparison. I've seen Temple of Doom a bunch of times (I actually saw it at the movie theaters when it was brand new), and don't mind at all seeing it again every now and then. It's a well-crafted action romp with a creepy setting. It has many memorable scenes and sequences. Crystal Skull I saw only once, and that was more than enough already. Never again.

I just don't understand why people get so pissy about the 'nuclear fridge' thing when there's that whole 'jump out of a plane' sequence in Temple of Doom that's just as absurd.
