Quote so my friend stole a giant bag of ketchup out of the ketchup pumping things and brought it to our table and we took it in the bathroom and i smashed it over the sink and kicked it around the bathroom and smeared it everywhere and we all took turns kicking the ketchup out of it and when we were done it looked like an african village was murdered in the bathroom XFD.

I just have one question:
Why was that plastic skull stuffed with tin foil?

As for my self, sure action movies don't have to be realistic, but I like them to be believable, even if it takes a solid stretch of the imagination.
Show content
Surviving a NUCLEAR !@#$% EXPLOSION in a !@#$% FRIDGE cannot be believed no matter how big a stretch of the imagination you take. If he was within even miles of the nuke, his atoms would be split apart, if he was in the explosion radius, the fridge would be reduced to ash and the heat would cook him to death. If he somehow survived and stepped out of the fridge immediately, his hair would have fallen off and his teeth fallen out in minutes from the radiation <_<. It just was a stretch too far for me to make.

Show content
The aliens, I could have took if they didn't focus the whole thing on them and psychic powers and such to such an extreme. The other ones were pretty much Indiana fighting Nazi's until they found the artefact that suddenly showed supernatural powers. This was just too focuses on them rarely

Also,
Show content
WTF happened to the women at the end? She turned into pixies or something and floated away for no apparent reason. WTF was up with that?
.

Finally, At the end,
Show content
at the wedding
was I the only one expecting Indy to look up at the sky and see Sean Connery's face in the clouds or there
Show content
in the wedding
as a ghost something ridiculous like that?

It wasn't for no apparent reason. She wanted to know everything that the aliens knew so they took her with them in their universe or whatever to show her, I guess.

It was a pretty decent movie, but nothing amazing.

But the other guys just got sucked up into the portal thing screaming, why did they turn her into pixies instead? I mean, if she slowly floated through the portal I guess that would have made sense, but being turned into pixies...didn't.

Also, the film was like the star wars films ep 1-3, too much CGI, and too obvious CGI. The trees didn't even LOOK real and the background at one point looked pixilated <_< Don't even get me started on the monkeys.

I think Sohmer at http://www.lfgcomic.com/ summed up my feelings here:

Quote

This past weekend, as we people tend to do, I was there for the midnight showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I walked in there with the mindset of a wide eyed 6 year old about to see Temple of Doom, yet I walked out as a jaded 29 year old wondering why they still let Uwe Boll make movies. Fancy wording aside, suffice it to say I was less than pleased.

The biggest issue I had was with the script. To say it was lacking would be a disservice to films that are actually lacking. There were a ridiculous amount of absolutely prepostourous moments that completely took me out of the movie and made me wonder how they shot out a script by Frank Darabont for this. I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, but for those of you who have, you know which moments I speak of.

Another related issue was the lack of witty one-liners, which should have been a pre-requisite for this character. Don't get me wrong, Ford looked just as comfortable in the part as he ever has, but the words coming out of his mouth were not what I was expecting, except for the beginning scene which has already been ruined for you in the trailer.

The last, yet equally glaring issue I have with this film, is the use of CGI. It is horrific and out of place. Coming from ILM, the company that invented special effects, I was more than a little disappointed. I kept waiting for Jar Jar to poke his head out of a gopher hole.

Swiftu, you hate almost everything. You're extremely jaded.

Hate almost everything? lol. You're just making that assumption since you rarely see me post about stuff I like.

Well, yeah, I am. While I'm at it, I can also assume you copy almost everything I DO hear you say you like from /v/.

I don't even go to 4chan anymore. (I haven't been there for several months). NGG is way better.

And this is hilarious coming from someone who says things like "RAAAAAAAAGGGGGE", a meme that was blatantly ripped off from /v/.

I enjoyed the humor and nothing from any of the movies has freaked me out, but was it too much humour for an Indie film? I mean, the scene with those monkeys, the son just fits right in with them, somehow makes his way back to the chase? Oh well, all for the non-stop action I guess. Logged
