so Neil would have preferred a 40 minute ,eventless ,quiet leisurely drive down the mountain instead of action? WHADDA****MAN,ITSANINDIEMOVIE!?!?! No... Read my posts - they were perfectly clear. I can give you a hand with some of the bigger words if necessary...

See, I didn't have a problem with the action though. I just had a problem with Karen Allen. See, to me the initial motorcycle chase was decent and had some well placed humor, while the tromp through the jungle was kind of crudely thought out and was not only boring, but contrived. I don't know, maybe I have to see it again, but it just seemed like lazy film making and the tarzan swing and cgi monkeys were horrible. Add to all this the heavy-handedness of how the 'aliens' were dealt with and you get mediocre, unimaginative box office fare.

I know that alot of people weren't too happy about the new Indy film, so I'm not trying to get into one of those "I'm not buying that because it's crap and my opinion is FACT" arguments. Just curious if the people who did like the film have bought the DVD yet. I'm thinking of going to pick it up today, but want to know what the features are like. If the features are no good, I'll wait until they release the better version. Which you know they'll do. It's Lucas...

If they can replace the guns with walkie-talkies in ET, they can wipe that stupid grin off her face!

Which just reinforces the notion that hollywood is bankrupt in terms of fresh ideas. (among other things). Not many movies impresses me anymore. Truthfully speaking, imo the more cgi that's in a movies the worse it usually is. It seems to be used as a substitute for a solid plot, good pacing and commentary.

There was a bit too much grinning, though. I;m definitely going to buy the DVD because although it does have it's flaws, I thought it was a good time. It kept me entertained like it should and I have to have the DVD to complete the series, anyway. I'm looking forward to watching it at home. Especially the special features.

I;m definitely going to buy the DVD For use as a coaster, a frisbee or a gift for someone you harbor a grudge against?

[bassman]

For use as a coaster, a frisbee or a gift for someone you harbor a grudge against? No...I'm getting it to watch it because I'm not overly critical of a film series based on Serials with outlandish action sequences from the 1930's. Thanks for making the exact kind of comment I was trying to avoid, btw. You've contributed alot...

I wasn't popping a boner for it, but nor was I 'doing a South Park' over it either. Although I did find that South Park episode to be absolutely hilarious ... and wrong ... very, very wrong ... in terms of visuals they presented, not opinion ... f*ckin' ewww. Anyway, nope, I haven't bought the DVD...might get the whole lot on DVD at some point - IF they put out a PROPER box set with kick ass extras, not just some lame sh*t where everybody briefly says how lovely everybody else was. Apparently the original box set (now out of print) was better than the current one in terms of extras and such. Missed the boat on that one then eh? I will watch it again though, and the first three had some pretty darn outrageous things in them too ... and yes, while the whole fridge thing was preposterous, it was really entertaining - and obviously fitting with the 1950s setting - which is obviously why it has the ending twist that it does, it's one of the fundamental things about 1950s America.

If you ever see it for sell I would suggest you snatch it up. It's got some good features. Disc four contains making-of's for each film that are an hour long each. Several other little treats, too.

South Park guys just did their take on Indy 4...funny as hell!!! Be sure to try and see this!

South Park guys just did their take on Indy 4...funny as hell!!! Be sure to try and see this! Ah man it was good, disturbingly so. Apparently there's been a bit of a flap about it from some people, decrying 'why is this on national television?!' and such ... but some of the best SP episodes court controversy, so it's all good. Bassman - aye indeed, I wish I'd bought it when it was available. I did get the three original films on VHS a few years back, but now I look back and think "why the f*ck did I do that?" - they're all in bloody pan & scan.
