- jaxzin, on 06/13/2008, -11/+74I liked Crystal Skull, but this article made me sad that I won't ever get to see this better version.
- db0255, on 06/13/2008, -13/+62Indiana Jones: [dressed as the ticket-taker] Tickets please.
Colonel Vogel: [in German] What?
[Indiana punches him, picks him up and throws him out a window into a pile of luggage; the other passengers look at him, bewildered]
Indiana Jones: [pointing out the window at Vogel] No ticket. - EatingPie, on 06/13/2008, -10/+52Shia wasn't bad. Though running out of dog names and calling him Mutt... ugh.
So why didn't they make this version? The "nobody should have that much power" makes a great tie-in, and a great theme... and perfectly fits the time period the movie was set in.
-Pie - JAGUART, on 06/13/2008, -4/+44What was wrong with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Phantom Menace?
George Lucas and his Jar Jar humor and crap writing. You can bet that every stale line, goofy humor and juvenile schtick was his. I was watching Indiana Jones, but I was hearing eight year old Anakin Skywalker dialogue. The guy has fun ideas to be sure, but he really needs grown-ups around him to sophisticate them. George Lucas is now that goober that you made fun of in High School. He used to not be like that. .
On the other hand, the 1950's setting was aces. - Rockmaninoff, on 06/13/2008, -4/+39How can you "briefly" post something on the internet?!?
- TinternAbbot, on 06/13/2008, -1/+34I hated the use of CGI animals. The gophers, the monkeys. Awful.
- FXPooky, on 06/13/2008, -0/+30Anyone have a link to the actual script?
- cadmiumpaint, on 06/13/2008, -2/+31They should have pursued the long rumored Search For Atlantis storyline that was floating around for the past 10 years.
They just forgot what Indiana Jones was all about when they made Crystal Skull....they were trying to make it more like the Mummy Franchise which is just stupid. I mean why would you imitate and immitation?
I'd take 10 more Temple of Dooms over 1 Crystal Skull - inactive, on 06/13/2008, -2/+27Dugg for:
Marion: "What's the matter, Jones? Mileage finally catching up with you?"
Indy: "It ain't the mileage, sweetheart. It's the years!" - Moetownslick, on 06/13/2008, -0/+25http://moedred.livejournal.com/2008/06/12/
its not the best formatting, but at least i found a copy. - inactive, on 06/13/2008, -1/+24i was willing to forgive the movie for all its bad stuff untill the wedding scene, then when mutt starts looking at the hat, get the ***** away from that hat mutt
- mattnyc99, on 06/13/2008, -16/+39screw shia
- nixonismyhero, on 06/13/2008, -3/+25Marion: "Oh yeah, what about that glamour gal you spent time with?"
Indy: "She moved out to Hollywood to be a star. Last I heard, she fell in love and married some big-shot director."
(In real life, Kate Capshaw, who played Willie Scott in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," is married to Steven Spielberg. Indefensible.)
This makes no sense. "Temple" took place before "Raiders", not after. Marion wouldn't have mentioned it 20 years later as if it was.
Still, that script sounds a bit better. - Crosshare, on 06/13/2008, -0/+20Wait, what? MTV wrote this? I'm not used to reading this kind of article from them.
- heir0fisildur, on 06/13/2008, -0/+20That's what Indiana Jones said too.
- Sornos, on 06/13/2008, -0/+18Darabont is an excellent director. It's too bad they didn't go with this one.
- bicyclethief, on 06/13/2008, -2/+20Just about any story would have been better than Crystal Skull.
Instead of adding to the mythos of Indiana Jones, Crystal Skull just felt like one last hurrah to get at my nostalgia money-- which, after all the past adventures, is a sad ending for Dr. Jones. - diggB, on 06/13/2008, -0/+16I'm not entirely sure why, but somehow introducing aliens seemed a lot more corny and less believable than the Holy Grail or the Ark. (Yeah, I know, arguing how a box filled with remains of Ten Commandments can melt the face off of Nazi's as being more realistic than aliens is pretty ***** up.) Maybe religious artifacts seemed more appropriate for an Indy movie than a spaceship. Am I alone on this?
- dnields, on 06/13/2008, -1/+16"we named the dog Indiana", Dr. Henry Jones, Sr.
- Kev585, on 06/13/2008, -0/+15That would have been a perfect inclusion. I'm angered now more than ever over Crystal Skull after having read that line. It more Indy than anything he uttered in Crystal Skull and conveyed his age better than anything they did.
- LeRenard, on 06/13/2008, -0/+14I'm so pissed I'll never get to see this version.. just the few small parts they posted are 10 times more "Indy" than we got in the movie.
- mikethejohnson, on 06/13/2008, -3/+16DVD....Digg me up!!!
- derble, on 06/13/2008, -1/+14PDF download:

- shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -0/+11says Scrappy1850.
- EmperorAwesome, on 06/13/2008, -0/+10But Indy had known Marion long before either movies took place.
- addysonclark, on 06/13/2008, -1/+10Like some people briefly post child porn.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 06/13/2008, -2/+10Now we know why Sean Connery said no to doing Indiana Jones.
If there is a fifth movie, I'd recommend that a big part of it be the son filling Indie's shoes, and all the while, the old man tries to correct everything he is doing. The only suspense in episode 4 came for me when Indy was in a fight, and I kept worrying that he might break a hip. - inactive, on 06/13/2008, -0/+8so about 2 hours worth of Indy references....yeah that would have been crap.
- johnnall, on 06/13/2008, -0/+8I think it's like being kind of pregnant.
- spidoman, on 06/13/2008, -0/+8I still enjoy Christmas. They are different from my childhood ones, but they are still good. Just in a different way.
Not so with KOTCS, it just sucked. - helikopter, on 06/13/2008, -2/+10what the ***** kind of captcha is that? enter symbols attached to a cat? ***** retarded.
- robdiggity, on 06/13/2008, -0/+8Now see here: I kinda thought KOTCS ate my balls, but I absolutely heart Adult Swim.
Don't knock the Venture Bros. or I will have Brock find you and destroy you. - Foenetik, on 06/13/2008, -2/+10DVD - This movie is pathetic. Don't give them any money for the DVD and just bootleg the thing, you wouldn't want to encourage them to make more garbage like this.
- inactive, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7wait for DVD, then atleast after watching the god awful thing you have a nice shiny new coaster
- Scrappy1850, on 06/13/2008, -3/+10complaints of the name Mutt coming from a man named Pie... interesting.
- inactive, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7pretty sure this is sarcasm...... right?
- legendxx, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7I had no problem with the setting or anything related to the 50's. I had a problem with including things from the 50's that absolutely zero value to the story like the red-scare and nuke-testing. Sure they happened but they aren't at all interesting anymore as they have been done a million times.
The one exception to my statement was the brawl in the malt-shop with the jocks vs greasers. I really liked that scene.. and it was used as a 'getaway' from the main characters so I guess it had some story-value. - 7Towers, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7Wouldn't it make more sense that Marion knew about the girls that came before her in a relationship rather than afterwards? Maybe she was just asking if he had gotten back with any other exes? From my past experiences, once a couple breaks up they really have no idea who the person has been with since the break up, but I'm sure that they would have talked about past relationships while dating.
I think the line is great. - sarnford, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7 Based on this synopsis, I don't see that is is all that better than the movie we got. I would have liked to have seen Sean Connery but he is retired and said no. No indication that this script would have convinced him to do it.
- pookguy88, on 06/13/2008, -0/+7Agreed, at that point I literally cringed, looked around the theater and saw a lot of others doing the same thing.
- digtastic, on 06/13/2008, -1/+8buy the DVD, then ship it to Lucasfilm in a paper bag filled with the DVD and dog doo - and a note that says, "this is for wasting my time, for ruining the indy franchise, and for firing Frank Darabont."
- TurdFaceManLove, on 06/13/2008, -1/+8So, after hearing mixed reviews on this I was wondering whether or not I should check this out in theatres or wait until DVD... any suggestions? I love the other Indy movies... well TOD, was so-so, but I'm afraid of Lucas now, he really sucks a fat one lately.
- Kbennett, on 06/13/2008, -1/+7I'm sure it would be a crappy coaster too.
- DaveXensen, on 06/13/2008, -0/+6I agree...
Sadly, I prefer the old Lucasarts game 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis' to 'Crystal Skull' - esmo, on 06/13/2008, -0/+6It's 20 years later and I still enjoy re-watching Last Crusade and Raiders. That makes no sense in saying "use some context" - if the old stuff is just as great as you remember it, there's no sense in lowering the bar for new stuff.
Comparing it to Christmas is just plain irrelevant - Christmas changes as you age, but movies do not, unless they include some age-specific concept like sex.
In any case, the reason Indy 4 was bad wasn't because of the aliens, it was because of the lackadaisical plot and complete lack of mystery. - jakatak, on 06/13/2008, -14/+20Holy Crap. How could you like Crystal Skull. That movie sucked from minute one. Since when did aliens ever exist in Indy films. Lucas is an ass. He screwed up Star Wars and now this. The dude should just pay for younger people with real writing skills to do movies. As soon as the credits showed that Lucas wrote this movie, I was ready to see Jar-Jar Binks with a whip!
.......AND HE HAD 10 YEARS TO WRITE THIS CRAP!!!! - RedCt, on 06/13/2008, -0/+6The City of the Gods script was originally leaked on WikiLeaks: http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Purported_Indiana_Jones_ ...
You don't have to go through RapidShare or anything. - Ploppyplop, on 06/13/2008, -2/+8And the people digging you down are expressing their opinions of your comment...
- jack_of_knaves, on 06/13/2008, -1/+7Henry. Jones. Junior.
