Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[Celgress]

This does get back to the initial thread title, and something I am sure has been said many times already....Disney ruin Indiana Jones? Didn't Lucas and Spielberg already beat them to the punch with Crystal Skull?

pretty much

Also, in between the Arc of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, we got some stones that glowed. And Indy being in it for fame and glory was just so out of character.

You are aware that Temple takes places chronologically before Raiders right? It's a sequel that's actually a chronological prequel.

Sometimes, when I watch the trilogy, I watch Temple first. Young Indy, Temple, Raiders, Last Crusade.

I'm really due for another Young Indy re-watch I've just realized. Young Indy, besides A.Graffiti, being a great artistic triumph in Lucas's career IMHO.

Yes, I am. I saw it opening night at Mann's Chinese. But even the young Indy at the beginning of Last Crusade is not a glory hound. And his father has instilled in him a sense of history and the importance of these treasures to the world. I'll stick with what I said about it being out of character. . If you watch Young Indy first (which I agree is a triumph) then his character in TOD is all the more jarring.

We'll agree to disagree. I can see your view. I really love that Temple (and even in tandem with Last Crusade) maybe implies or suggests that adulthood and life experiences (like perhaps the influence of Indy's experience with Garth/Fedora, that guy who works for the Panama Hat that young Indy surrenders the Coronado cross to) for a time darkened Indy, made him more cynical, less idealistic ....more capitalistic. That once, Indy really wasn't so far from becoming Belloq. But India changed Indy, brought him back some to his better angels.

Personally on TOD regardless of it's flaws I think it's got the best last half hour of any of the films action-wise (despite some iffy blue screen work in some shots). Also some of John William's best music.

So is there going to be a version of "The Illuminati" with this new story? Will Indiana be facing off against a threat not unlike what happened with the National Treasure plot?

I'm noticing a trend. And the new Indy movie comes out on 2023. Pray, people.

Those are the years the characters died in the movies. Of course it is nothing but coincidence.

It is with much sadness that I regret to inform you that yes, a version did indeed die. I have no words to express my most sincere condolences. See: https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a...mes-bond-dead/

I haven't seen a Bond film since Skyfall. I think I'm behind by two films.

Didn't realize how much catch up I needed. Gotta be ready to know how the death retcon happens. Who knew Bond was actually going to regenerate into Dr. Who?!

I don't think they'll do a retcon, just another reboot and I'm cool with that.
