Just finished watching it last night and yeah. Didn't do Indy any justice at all.

No spoilers but they threw everything at this film to see if it would stick and nothing really did.

I love my Indy but this was horrible.

And no fair laughing at me for doing that SIX.

That's just the type of stuff that Hollywood has been doing to pretty much everything that anybody loved for years.

I'm just laughing in general. Not at you, Brenda.

I'm just glad that I don't really have any emotional attachments to any of the major properties and I'm just observing it all going down.

I think at one point I would have said that when they finally get around to remaking and ruining The Goonies is the day that they'll finally break me, but I don't think I really care anymore at this point.

I'm sure one day we're going to be watching "ASS: The Movie" like they were in Idiocracy.

"It won 8 Oscars that year. Including best screenplay."

May I point out that original movies not made by Disney suitable for children such as IF (2024), which stands for Imaginary Friends, lost money?

Well, I had hope and the trailer I saw didn't make much sense to me. But the film did explain the trailer at least. It is sad.

I know you've been recounting box office failures for the last while. Now, I am waiting for other stuff to come on DVD like "Killers of the October Moon". Think I will have better luck with that.

I'm not telling anybody not to watch anything. I mean, even if I'm heavily implying it at times, and I won't argue that is not the case, I have no place to tell anybody what they can and can't watch or even what they should or shouldn't watch. I'm nobody special.

I do like hearing when people do get around to watching things that I haven't yet or just plain won't watch though.

I do believe your chances of enjoying Killers of the Flower Moon will be several hundred times greater than the chances of you enjoying Indy 5 were.

I have no real reason not to watch that flick other than it just isn't very interesting to me. I've watched more stuff in the last 2 months than the previous 3 years combined, and it's still not a whole lot. I just don't watch a lot of things that Hollywood puts out anymore, and its gotten increasingly rare for something to grab me.

It's why I'm so hard on things that I don't enjoy after watching them now. It's not even because I put a premium value on my time or anything. But if I make a conscious effort to sit down and watch something I expect that I'm going to find it enjoyable. I just don't like being wrong.

Sorry, if I implied you are telling people not to watch things. I didn't mean that at 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.

Well, being wrong happens.

I was hoping Indy would go out with a bang and not a whimper.

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

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.

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

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...
