Eivion Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I just watched that Indiana Jones movie with Shia LaBeouf, and it really wasn't all that bad. I really enjoyed it, actually. Why does everyone seem to hate it? If I recall correctly there was an alien thing going on that was too much for people, many just flat out hated Shia Lebouf even before he did things that showed he was an asshole, and Ford's performance was on the lazy side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So an alien is too much, but the Ark of the Covenant isn't? That might as well be an alien too! All of it's fiction anyway, ffs. Shia was perfectly acceptable as a 50s greaser, and Ford is Ford, I've always thought his acting was semi-lazy. BTW, I've never seen any of the other Indiana Jones movies. NOW let the shunning begin!

Brian Fowler Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Honestly, I barely remember the movie except for the incredibly stupid "survived an atomic explosion in a fridge" scene that led to me making the same "Indy 5 will be Indiana Jones and the Incredibly Painful Death from Cancer" joke roughly 8,000 times in the next two weeks. I also remember hating it. HATING it. But what in particular I hated... Eh, it was years ago and I'm not about to revisit it. (AND FUCKING WATCH RAIDERS, DUDE!!!!!!!)

Reed Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2014/06/23/gary-oldman-mel-gibson-playboy-interview/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=206567 Two points: 1) No, Gary. We haven't "all" said those things. 2) I do think it is messed up than Gibson's career is practically over, and guys like Polanski, Cosby and Allen still have blossoming careers and are winning awards and whatnot. Not that I think Gibson should be forgiven, but those three are considerably worse. Bill Cosby? What'd he do? As for Oldman, I wish he hadn't gone too far, because there is a point to be made about political correctness in 2014 essentially being self-congratulatory indignation and witch-hunting for bigots. I've come to realize that the War on Bigotry is basically the Democrat version of the War on Terror: an ostensibly honorable cause that's degenerated through alarmism, sensationalism, and McCarthyism into a bunch of scare tactic agitprop bullshit. And so just as the War on Terror became "if you're not with us you're with the terrorists!" and "Vote Republican or the US will be destroyed by brown people!", the War on Bigotry has become, "if you're not with us you're a racist/sexist/homophobe!" and "Vote Democrat or we'll be back to slavery, outlawed homosexuality, and women losing the vote!" Cosby's been accused of rape by 14 different women. RE: Gibson. I'd say he was (basically) forgiven by the industry for the drunken rant on the cops. He did get a second chance. But then when the tape to his ex girlfriend came out, with him espousing even more racist views and also declaring himself to be a women-beater, and that was it for him. It was a bit more complex than, "oh, he said one thing and his career for done. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I just watched that Indiana Jones movie with Shia LaBeouf, and it really wasn't all that bad. I really enjoyed it, actually. Why does everyone seem to hate it? I actually liked it too. It was everything I was hoping an Indy movie this late in the game would be. I mean, you've got the ark of the covenant, a cult of heart-mangling evil Indians, and defeating Nazis with the aid of a magic cup that prevents you from dying...where could it have gone from there?! 'Indiana Jones and the really old newspaper'? Every movie tried to be bigger than the one before, so they had to go bigger with the last one. It wasn't perfect: Cate Blanchett's Nikita and Boris accent, a little too much comedy, a bit too long, and the grumpy alien face but the ending was letter-perfect The hat blowing in with Shia reaching for it to take over the mantle and Harrison Ford snatching it away like "Nah, Fuck you, I'm still Indiana Fuckin' Jones."

Reed Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I remember that old joke about how a guy who'd tell people they read Playboy for the interviews and articles, not the naked women. Weirdly though, you probably could say "I'm buying it for that totally controversial Gary Oldman interview where he may or may not have ended his career!" and people would believe it.

Weirdly though, you probably could say "I'm buying it for that totally controversial Gary Oldman interview where he may or may not have ended his career!" and people would believe it. That joke sucks now. Well, it probably always sucked considering Playboy has a pretty great publishing track record, but now there is basically no other reason to buy it. Also, dude, Gary Oldman saying some weird shit isn't going to end his career. Is that the desired outcome for you or something? I'd very much prefer to continue watching Gary Oldman on screen regardless of his politics, bigotry or shitty personal beliefs. Same with Mel. Same with pretty much everyone else because I can separate the art from the person behind it. These dudes aren't running for office for fucks sake.

J.T. Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Playboy does actually publish some great writing. The first five chapters of 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: Odyssey Two appeared in Playboy. There is also a brilliant 1982 article entitled Holy Terror which predicts the rise of Fundamentalist Christianity as a socio-political force the significant influence it has on the Right Wing. This article was obviously written by Nostradamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I suppose that's true but I had internet through most of my teen years. I'll tell you though.. for the first couple years I would have rather had magazines. Waiting for pictures to load up in 56k or whatever we had was a BITCH.. Leave the room. Go make some spaghetti o's... Still loading... WHAT THE FUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
