    Megalopolis

    No thread has been made for it so far. This fascinating film is getting a lot of publicity. Given Francis Ford Coppola turned 85 this year, this could be his last movie! Here’s the trailer: As far as Indy connections go, besides the vague Lucas connection(he cofounded American Zoetrope) it...

    Dial of Destiny Blu Ray Release

    Not sure how that counteracts anything I’ve said. Disney wouldn’t be pulling out of home video distribution if sales, and overall physical media, weren’t declining.

    Indy's Belief Quote

    To be fair, no one, including the rich, can afford a house in NYC. I do wonder about Indy’s house though, wondering if he just left it to Marion during the separation.

    Dial of Destiny Blu Ray Release

    Guys- if you want physical hard copies of the Indiana Jones movies in higher resolution than the DVDs, I would just buy them now. Disney is shutting down Disney Movie Club which sold a lot of limited Blu-Ray releases of their more obscure catalog titles. Best Buy has phased out of selling...

    DOD a Decade Ago

    I didn’t like TFA’s direction they took Han, but Ford’s performance was really good. The passion was there which can’t be said of everything he’s done (i.e. Hollywood Homicide).

    Jimmy Buffett

    Here’s longer video of the Jimmy Buffett tribute concert! I either didn’t know or forgot Harrison Ford got his ear pierced because of Buffett!

    Phoebe Waller-Bridge

    After roughly a year of reflection later I think Phoebe Waller-Bridge did a good job bringing Helena to life. Helena Shaw was a more interesting character than Rey was, as she had faults, she wasn’t perfect(or a “Mary Sue” as is the popular phrase these days) but she had good chemistry with Indy...

    Jimmy Buffett

    Ford managed to appear at a Jimmy Buffett memorial concert!

    Things that separate Dial of Destiny from the rest...

    One detail in Crystal Skull I really like is when Dean Stanforth enters the room all the students turn to him before turning back to Dr. Jones’ lecture. Something that would’ve never happened in the 1930s with Marcus. It was a nice little acknowledgement to Indy’s age without beating you over...

    Your favorite and least favorite parts of the movie

    No but I totally get where the user you quoted is coming from. Indy having another adventure and overcoming his grief is ultimately what’s satisfying. I’ll never not be fascinated by this newfound appreciation for Mutt Williams. Frankly because I have a memory and can recall having...

    Indy V's Potential Box Office Haul

    Same way people used to love to complain Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was “poorly reviewed” even though the film had 78% Fresh(which in hindsight, is even higher with DOD in existence). People won’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative. “When legend becomes fact, print the legend.”

    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

    I had a lot more fun with this than expecting. I actually preferred this to Ghostbusters: Afterlife! The only "pointless nostalgia" in this I felt was groan inducing was other than that, I didn't see this as overdosing nostalgia like the previous entry. A ton of new ideas were brought that...

    The Review thread

    Unlike you to look for ways to improve Dial. ;) But also, the line that sticks out to me is "The world no longer cares about men like us." He also bonds with Indy due to their advancing years and ultimately both feeling out of place in the world by 1969.

    The Review thread

    This. Also I can't think of a reason why Jurgen would take Helena alive and hold her hostage. Every instance my nitpicking brain would be like "Why doesn't he kill her like he's killed everyone else?" With Indy he takes him alive and holds him captive for the reason Belloq states in Raiders...

    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

    With each passing year Temple Of Doom looks to have aged better and better. I really can't think of many other sequels that brings back the lead character: including his costume and musical theme but changes everything else. Almost every sequel made in the past 15 years just tries to make the...
