I might be too old, but I've never heard about Justin Long or Shia LeBouf before their roles in DH4 / IJ4. But then again, I've never heard about Yelchin either. :-)
But seriously - since we are replacing the whole cast, is there any need to add some new characters in order to showcase some green, wet-behind-the-ears children starlets?

why lebouf may have had that affect from most of the people i heard long was still mostly seen as the mac guy and not what attracted them to the last die hard film.
really the one thing that should mess with the minds in hollywood is just how much some of the younger crowd identified with indy because they had grown up watching the earlier films.
i heard several people seemingly younger then 25 talk about how indy was their favorite action movie.

Hannah Montana's recent concert tour came to the convention center next door to the restaurant where I wait tables. I had the pleasure of waiting on Hannah's younger sister and backup dancers, and believe me, if Hannah Montana shows up in the new Star Trek movie, I will make it my personal vendetta to find JJ Abrams and smack him in the face.
Eww...don't even suggest that jokingly!Sadly, it would probably attract a lot of the tween/teenage girls demographic.

It solidified my hate for most people, that's for sure.
These people were touring around the entire country with Hannah Montana, and the best part of their day is going to Walmart? Fucking pathetic.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled thread....

I'm sure Nimoy will take that as a compliment.

Never got into the die hard movies, but after watching that abortion of an indiana jones movie here is what the new trek movie DOESN'T need:
This would be like having Freddy Kruegar killing Enterprise crew men in their sleep. This is what ruined TKS for me. The whole premise was completely out of place for an indiana jones movie.
Never got into the die hard movies, but after watching that abortion of an indiana jones movie here is what the new trek movie DOESN'T need:
-"I got a bad feeling about this". Hopefully, the writer can come up with far wittier diologue than George Lucas, who writes diologue beneath seventh grade level.
-Better chemistry. This is the glue that ties a film together,especially in ensemble pieces. The Crystal Skull(TKS) just didn't have that.
-The good again/bad again confident of Jones was confusing. No one trusts a guy that sells them out to the enemy the first time. This would be like Kirk trusting Kahn to find Genesis. It's just not believable.
-CGI creatures that no one cares about. Come on. Gophers? It seems like Lucas has become a CGI madman who thinks a scene isn't interesting without CGI animals in it.
-Things that don't fit in the franchise. With Star Trek I expect aliens. With Indians Jones I expect early 20th century adventures, not aliens.

Good acting, decent plots, and huge fan bases that don't jump ship when something goes wrong?

in reference to ktanner3
as for the more sci fi aspect ( i hope saying this isnt too specific...)then the earlier religious aspects of the earlier movies it is more of a reflection of the changing of the times.
the earliers films reflected the age they took part in and were based more on an action adventure serial.
with the age of the bomb and the same year as sputnik crystal skull was reflecting a very different era and the serial movies of that era.
they actually adress this by having the guy remind indy that in berlin they had acted as double agents.
so from that point indy does have the bit of uncertainty about just what is going on.

Re: What did Die Hard and Indiana Jones revamps have that STXI might n
I must have missed that line.
And to those who are worried about spoliers don't read any reviews because they go into much more detail than I did. The movie has been out for awhile now. What's the statute of limitations before we can talk about a movie? 3 months? 3 years? What is it?
I must have missed that line.
But still, after he turned on indy in the beginning of the movie he should have never trusted him again.

What movies were you watching?
Indy 4 should be compulsory viewing as a treatise on how not to resurrect a franchise.

However, the limitation is not on talking about it at all. You can talk about it all you like. The spoiler policy is for the benefit of those who have not yet seen (or have not yet been able to see) the movie or episode in question.
It's just common courtesy, really: give others a choice to be spoiled or not to be spoiled, whether by putting a spoiler warning in the thread title or by using the tags in a post. That's all we ask.
Still one year from release date or first airing, I believe. And yes, those interested in avoiding spoilers will most likely avoid reading reviews, too.

Not only all that, but while the new Star Trek will be a revamp, the latest Die Hard and Indy were not. They were simply continuations of what came before.
