    Topps Heritage: Indiana Jones Trading Card Set

    So digging this old thread up to ask a question. Does anyone have any of the die-cut magnets from this set? I am looking for #9 Elsa Schneider I have all of the others and extras of most of them.

    The role of history in Dial of Destiny

    I enjoyed reading your entire post and I think you inadvertently made a strong case for why Lucas wanted to be put on the film as an Executive Producer. This film continued his franchise in a direction he approved of something Disney failed to do with Star Wars.

    Dial of Destiny Blu Ray Release

    Might be a sign that more people are discovering it now that access has gotten so easy and convenient at home. I could see consumers renting it digitally or watching on Disney + and then deciding to pick up a physical copy.

    Dial of Destiny Easter Eggs

    I don't think it is meant to be that spear. How would they have even gotten that one to bring back? Probably just a spear from that battle.

    Rumor cesspool

    The only time I recall an adjustment was after The Last Jedi came out. I think that was when they added the verified audience score. Could be wrong. Concerning Indy I don’t think anything was changed. Evidence of this is how members of this community were able to raise the critics score from...

    Promotional content - teasers, trailers, publicity images, etc

    I might actually prefer the Disney version of the art. The main thing that edges it towards Disney's meddling are the changes to Indy and his Whip and that is the focal point. Removing the gun though was just dumb and so Disney. Outside of the art I certainly prefer the more traditional title...

    James Mangold...

    I am puzzled by all of this DoD lack of a holstered gun talk. In KOTCS he had his gun until he was captured at the cemetery. He never used it except to scare off a cemetery guard. After that when he could have easily acquired a gun or rifle he neglects to do so opting to punch people instead...

    Indy V's Potential Box Office Haul

    Ghostbusters: Afterlife was the equivalent of Indiana Jones searching for the Holy Grail again. I really appreciate that we got something different to chase down in Dial.

    Dial of Destiny Blu Ray Release

    Well in the US only 3% are 1 Star and 72% are 5 Star. So clearly it is being targeted in the UK.

    Indiana Jones and the Culture War

    Well KK didn’t ruin Star Wars single-handedly. She had a lot of help and it started with Bob Iger. He simply lied to Lucas about his intentions concerning his involvement post purchase. He also pushed for JJ and that got the ball rolling. Disney bought Star Wars and then threw out the most...

    Your favorite and least favorite parts of the movie

    Well he does do something that he hadn’t in KOTCS. He shoots people with a gun. I do miss the traditional fist fight the other four films had. This one makes it obvious that isn’t in the cards though.

    James Mangold...

    I think it was used in advertisements for the digital release.

    James Mangold...

    I do take issue with cutting scenes that have Indy doing Indy things. I get the need for pacing and agree with most of what Mangold has posted today about this film. Maybe I would agree that the scene should have gone once I have seen it but I would sacrifice pacing for another scene of Indy...

    Your favorite and least favorite parts of the movie

    Could one go from watching Raiders and jump straight to Dial? There isn’t anything you need from the other films to understand what is going on. One would just assume Indy and Marion got married after Raiders and had a kid who died. Maybe I am missing something.

    Your favorite and least favorite parts of the movie

    I think there is a good chance that a better film can be made from what was shot on DoD. Maybe it is a shorter film or maybe it is a longer film. But I agree that it feels like it is there. KOTCS would probably require additional footage not captured at the time the film was in front of the...
