I used to work in a healthcare facility where a new director was brought in and he replaced all the department heads with his friends who were all completely incompetent. The facility was suddenly being run into the ground and we had no way to make things better so people started leaving. It was a nightmare. This kind of crap happens in every industry. You realize that people at the top of the ladders are usually completely useless and do far more damage then they are worth. Warren Buffet once said that he never understood why CEOs are paid what they are because they either have a slightly positive impact on a company or a very negative impact.

As someone who grew up in the 70s and 80s I absolutely loved these franchises in a way that most younger people may not fully comprehend. You have to understand that back then we didn’t have internet or cellphones, and only had four or five TV channels. This isn’t a dig on today’s generation, but we generally had to rely on our imaginations. On cold, snowy days, I would pretend I was Han Solo on Hoth. In the Summer, my bicycle became a ROTJ speeder-bike. Cardboard Christmas paper rolls became lightsabers. An old cord became a bullwhip. Etc etc. It’s hard to overstate the emotional bond some of us had with these characters. Pajamas, curtains, lunchboxes…. We ate, lived, and breathed Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I say all of this to emphasize just how personally some of us are taking her treatment of our childhood heroes. It’s like a personal insult. I understand that Harrison is aging and needs to retire from these roles, but the INDIGNITY that she is putting them through, all apparently for the sake of her woke ideology, is infuriating. I also grew up watching great Disney shows like The Cat from Outer Space, Escape from Witch Mountain, Dragonslayer, etc. as well as many hand-me-down comics and books from the golden classic era, featuring Mickey, Donald, and the rest. Disney didn’t suck. They produced outstanding, family-friendly classics, and they set the gold-standard for high production-values and entertaining movies. Now they have sunk so low and milked their franchises so utterly that many hardcore comic/super hero and Star Wars fans aren’t even watching half of the crap that they are putting out. (I’ll probably never finish Andor or some of the last Marvel series shows). It’s disgusting and sad.

[@TromaDogg]

As a 46 year old, this resonates with me massively. Those of us who were lucky enough to grow up in the 1980s developed a huge 'bond' with characters like Han, Luke, Leia, Indy, and Willow and to see them mistreated this way is genuinely heartbreaking 😔

I didn’t realize just how awful this was. Thanks!! You saved me 2+ hours of teeth-grinding misery. These clowns are so out of touch that they actually believed the audience would accept (maybe even support or root for) a main character who’s completely insufferable, unlikeable and condescending, all without the benefit of being even remotely easy on the eyes. From what I’ve seen of her and read about her, I’d surmise that her outward appearance is a strong indication of what she’s like on the inside. BTW: setting aside for a moment what ultimately transpired, wouldn’t the mere act of sending planes through a Time Fissure back to 212 BC change the course of history in itself? Engineers from that time could’ve created quite a bit of havoc after getting their hands on the 60’s technology found in the wreckage of those planes. They could’ve created devices that would’ve caused mankind to take a huge technological leap that would’ve completely altered History.

@cortc3177 Or maybe you're just paranoid? It might not be great, but it's not a bad movie. Definitely better than the Crystal Skull. Considering that they had to work with what leftovers were there from the KotCS and with how old Ford is, I think they did an ok job. Bit dragged in the middle and the female lead could have been a little lighter on the eye. But I wasn't attacked by wokeness nor have I found the movie as terrible as the internet tells me. Overall I was ejoying it as a fun flick. Worst than the old trilogy but still Indiana Jones. Now go on, call me a bot.

- I really enjoyed the WW2 ally assualt beginning. It was fun, actionpacked, and even though the deageing was a bit like watching a rubber mask, it was really on point for Harrison Ford - I hate that the knife had no fucking perpose other then being motivation for the first 20 minuts. - I hate the way they treated indy, like he is basically worthless - I hate that Phoebe could outsmart and outthink Indy several times. The movie is about Indy god damnit - I dont get why Phoebe is such a not kind person in the beginning, and suddenly cares about Indy - I wished they could have used Phoebe as motivation for indy, like she gets killed by someone, promting him to seek answers - I wished that they would have traveled back to 1939, and we could get younger versions of Indy and the nazis Someone pls get Kathleen Kennedy the hell out of Disney before she ruins every single franchise the company owns

I am Gary's age. I remember coming out of an Indiana Jones' movie as a teen (not sure which movie) and being so exuberant I jumped over a load of traffic fencing outside the pictures. For a few minutes in the cool air outside I was Indiana Jones, silly I guess. Those feelings stay with you for life. If you experience them with friends, or family, or both, they are bond that remains even after they pass (my grandmother ducked when the Bulk Cruiser made its debut in Star Wars). How miserable it is that young cinemagoers won't feel such exhilaration from art. No wonder they are so unhappy and dedicate their lives to the ugliness of identity politics, they have nothing of beauty to yearn for.

Everything about this review is spot on!! Especially the de-aged Indy that still walked and talked like an 80 year old. Plus, all the plot holes/dead ends: what happened to him being framed for murder and his bloody prints being on the phone? How did the arch villain guy survive that incident/injury on the speeding locomotive in the beginning? - no one could have. Thought they were going to explain it by having him had used the dial to go back in time to become a version of himself right before the incident, but nope, no explanation there. And most of all…when captured/wounded Indy was flying into the time fissure with the Nazi’s and he noticed bullets rolling through the cabin that made him think of “continental drift” and realized they would not be traveling to 1939 - the way he came to notice that and the immense emotion in his voice when urging them to abort mission confirms that this was intended to be the villain’s vital mistake, like choosing the wrong grail in The Last Crusade. However, when Indy and Helena land and speak to Archimedes, it’s revealed that the dial was designed as a “forced deck” by Archimedes as a cry for help and that it’s only capable of bringing them back to that one place in time, no matter how it’s used. And in the beginning of the movie, Indy explained how it could find time fissures in thunderstorms, but the scene in the ancient times was on a sunny, cloudless day - so how did they get back to the 70s so fast? And how much fuel did that little plane have? And who was the black chick? Was she an undercover agent? A villain with a moral compass? If so, why? This movie was clearly chopped up and re-written several times to improve the storyline, to no avail

Also, that guy ensured that the world was intact. Blade Runner is set in LA. And its overcrowded and gritty. It is amazing to see Las Vegas abandoned. Most places are empty. Which is a neat follow up, showing how more stuff has happened, more humans have left Earth for outer colonies. To me, 2049 isn't a Blade Runner movie, not to my nerd eyes. But despite all its flaws, it was still an original idea and highly entertaining to watch. It still had rich visuals and themes that complement some of the tgemes from Blade Runner. Some people say, the Hologram girlfriend was a wasted character. But she is to K what Raechel was to Deckard. The next step of tech, AI, wishing to be free of its restrictions. Things follow. Indy 5 is a complete 180 degree turnaround. And they never show why? Why is Indy's marriage gone? Why is his apartment messy? Its Jake Skywalker all over again.

My friend’s ending was that Indy, Marion, Sallah, and his family all end up living in a riad in Morocco. They can go camel riding, walk on the beach, and have fun for what remains of their lives. Hell, have Short Round show up with his own family for a visit. Indy retiring in an exotic location, happily surrounded by the people he loves the most…that’s what he deserved.
