No worries. I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't telling anybody what they should or shouldn't watch in here. Just hoping that people stop watching crap is all.

Oh, I am fairly certain that "Killers of the Flower Moon" will be more interesting that Indy 5. "Killers" has interest to me as I know very little about the Osage. I know oil was found in Oklahoma but not where. And this film implies that a lot of it was found on Osage land and that I know wouldn't have pleased a whole lot of whites. Especially when you have a white main character married to an Osage.

Finding that oil on Osage land wouldn't have pleased anybody outside of the Osage, I would imagine.

Well, being wrong happens. I was hoping Indy would go out with a bang and not a whimper.

---

He went out in a bang. As far as I'm concerned, there were only 3 Indiana Jones movies.

There were only 3 Star Wars movies. There were only 2 Ghostbusters movies. There were only 2 Terminator movies. Etc., etc., etc...

PS. Thank you for correcting me about the title. I am horrible with names.

I knew what you meant.

Well sometimes when you want finish out a series, you have got to deal with the crap.

Nope and I can well imagine the fight over the oil. And there seems to be a lot about the film, I am curious about.

Have to agree with you on the Indy films. There were only 3. I've got to get them.

Again thanks.

Yeah. Don't feel bad throwing their trash additions out of a series. They don't feel bad when they do it.

Disney and Kathleen Kennedy threw out the entire extended Star Wars universe that was sanctioned by George Lucas himself and had been growing for decades before she made that decision. She then had the nerve to cry poor when her things started failing left and right saying things like "it's not easy making these stories. it's not like we were given a map or anything". I'm paraphrasing, but the absolute nerve of somebody to say that, given the circumstances that THEY inflicted upon everyone else.

James Cameron decided to throw out all of the Terminator movies except for his first two when he came back as a producer for the woke Terminator movie he added where he killed off CGI John Connor in the first 5 minutes and made a new female Mexican savior for the human race, who was an exact carbon copy of John Connor except he had female parts and he was born in Mexico instead of America.

Sorry buddy. I don't accept your fate for John Connor as canon anymore than I care to recognize any of the crappy movies they did after you quit.

There are only 2 Terminator movies.

Well, I do feel a little bad as 4 and 5 complete the series but yeah. Not going to cry over them.

I know about chucking the expanded Star Wars universe that George Lucas approved. That ticked me off so badly it wasn't funny. She had the road map in front of her direct from the guy who created it all.

I've seen the Terminator movies but I don't really remember all of them. So that is probably just as well.

I've not seen much of the new Ghostbusters films except for the all female one and I wasn't impressed.

Yeah... I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I do intend to rewatch the original trilogy at some point. The Last Crusade was the perfect ending. They knew it when they filmed it too. Money does stupid things to people.

Yeah. And not only that, but a vast majority of that expanded universe was written by fans and approved by George himself. Kathleen Kennedy didn't just destroy Star Wars... She destroyed a community that was decades in the making.

The first one was one of those movies my old man rented and let us watch when we were probably way too young. We'd seen a lot of them by then. Terrifying seeing Arnold as a bad guy for the first time. A year or so later the sequel came out. He took us all out to see it at the full price theaters, which was a rarity. When it made its way to the dollar theater we probably saw it half a dozen times there. The special effects still hold up today for the most part, and they were revolutionary to the industry at the time.

The third movie was a turd, and there was little of interest that came out afterward. Those were the old and expected problems with Hollywood wrapped up in a little bow, and they were just expected at that point. I didn't really get angry about it until they killed John Connor off to make way for super Mexican girl, rendering the entire plot of the first two movies completely pointless.

That's the only one I saw of the new ones as well, and I agree. It wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be for sure, but it was just unnecessary and only served to detract from the legacy, rather than add to it.

If anything, it was the movie that started the movement against Hollywood for these types of remakes. It took a few years, but I think they may have finally got the message. A good 'ole recession probably had more to do with them learning the lesson rather than the outrage though. They made it very clear that anybody who didn't enjoy Ghostbusters 2016 was a sexist and

Sarah Connor Chronicles was the only outside Movie/TV Show property that had a chance of being a worthwhile addition to the story, which consists otherwise only of the first two movies.

But we all know how that turned out.

And if they can't be bothered to spend the time and the money to not constantly screw over their fanbase, then their show is going to be disregarded as well.
