Yeah that makes sense.

I agree actually; I thought the cliff bit looked disturbingly fake in the trailer, but in the film I thought it looked pretty cracking.

I don't know, I don't feel like my thoughts are really being expressed very well in my writing, but I hope you can see what I mean.
I fully agree with you here, CGI doesn't cause problems if its use is the result from an idea... sometimes though the idea is basically the result from having access to CGI, and that's usually when it goes downhill.

One of my favorite films is still "Forrest Gump", and it's a good example of how to use visual effects: Most of them can't be seen. A sky-replacement here, a set-extension there, but almost always invisible and just there to support the story. Coming up with action-sequences that can only be realized with CGI or on a blue-screen stage is soooo lazy. Coming up with an action scene that's shot on a real set or a location, (and which is possible supported by a painted out rig or a set-extension) is ingenious.

I like it how Ford mentioned that today's action-scenes can be much more easily done by the actors' themselves, because CGI can be utilized to remove any safety rigging or harnesses from the shots, because that's what I think is the best use for digital effects today.

Haha. KOTCS's last scene is the wedding, Indy 5's last scene is the funeral. Circle of life I guess.

but seriously, I really don't want Indy to die in the series for 2 reasons:

1. It wouldn't be right. It would be like killing James Bond or Luke Skywalker.
2. I at least want to pretend the YIJC is canon.

I don't either, but he's beggin for it...after all it's Indy I'm sure he could "come back".;)

Maybe Indy will pull a Wrath of Khan Spock...kill him in the beinning to draw the attention off and then do him in at the end.

Indiana Jones VI the Search for Indy...

Connery set for 'Indiana Jones' return

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/connery-set-for-indiana-jones-return-426901.html
18/09/2009 - 14:43:08

Sean Connery is set to return to the ‘Indiana Jones’ franchise.

The 79-year-old actor turned down the chance to reprise his role as the father of the daredevil archaeologist in last movie ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’, and the script hinted his character Professor Henry Jones had passed away.

However, creators on the next movie, the fifth in the hugely successful franchise, are planning to bring Henry back.

A source said: "Steven Spielberg has been working on a script with George Lucas and there is an element of the story that could see Sean returning. Anything is possible in these movies and if Sean wants to return he will become central to the new story."

Well said. That's pretty much exactly what I was getting at. I love it when I can watch the special features on a DVD and be surprised to find out that they used CGI to edit in little details in the background, like changing a gray sky to a sunny one or adding shutters to a house that didn't really have one. Those uses of CGI fascinate me because of how they enhance the film while being completely unobtrusive.

I'll see you your suggestions and raise: I propose we merge all threads at the Raven about everything into one ultramegasuperhyperübergigantothread! And I further propose the next movie have Indy get slashed in the face, lose his right eye, grow it back (lingering effects of the radiation), lose it again, have it replaced with a bionic one, and then decide to get rid of that one because he doesn't like the color!
:p

I think we should tidy it all into a nice Indiana Jones thread. That'd make all this Indiana Jones stuff easier to find.

A bionic eye? "Henry Jones Jr., Archaeologist. We can rebuild him. Better. Stronger. Faster..."

Exactly what I was thinking. Only now that I think about it a little further, why not go the extra mile and just merge all the threads here with all the ones at TheForce.Net's forums? There's so much overlap between the two franchises and their fanbases anyway, it seems totally unproductive to separate them into their little boxes like this. One nice big thread for both Star Wars and Indy oughtta do it...

Just in case you guys (emtiem & Crack) are poking fun at my suggestion in a roll-your-eyes-kind-of-way:rolleyes:, let me state that I was just being facetious. (Although, there are definitely multiple threads on the same, specific aspect of a "would be" 5th film.)

Here are some more. 51 threads on Indy V so far!:p

Just a friendly ribbing Stoo; don't take anything by it :)

I'm not buying the Connery story: it comes from disreputable sources and just doesn't ring true. I also hope it's not true as I don't think it's good for either party: Connery shouldn't do it because he's a fantastic movie star and if he's going to do one more movie, at his age it really shouldn't be a comic book adventure story. Make something important, grown up and fantastic, Sean.
And Indy shouldn't have him back: we've done the one with Indy's dad- it was a brilliant idea but we don't need to do it again. The Indy films are a series about an adventuring archaeologist: not an adventuring archaeologist and his extended family. If we have the whole bunch back it stands in danger of being Lethal Weapon 4, where every peripheral character from the previous three films had to make an appearance on the poster. Obviously Indy needs someone there to bounce off and to talk to, but not his entire clan. If they can think of something interesting and fresh for Mutt to do I'll accept him being along- no-one else.

No problem, emtiem.:cool: (P.S. Whenever I see your username, it makes me think of this: MTM logo...Mary Tyler Moore)

I understand the enthusiasm towards discussing a possible 5th film but don't want to be a buzzkill. If Indy 5 happens, it happens. If it doesn't...it doesn't. After '96, I never expected to see Indy on film again. I'm pleased with what we've been given in the past and if another one gets made, I think of it as a BONUS (no matter how meagre.)

Anyway, I stumbled upon another Indy 5 thread in the Archaeology forum...52 threads (so far) on something that doesn't even exist!:p

Like I said, I was just being facetious - and not to be taken seriously. Just pointing out the ignorance of the search function in regards to Indy 5 conversation.

One thing I admire about The Raven is its attitude towards NOT creating an Indy 5 forum until it's a legitimate reality (kind of like when the Professor Levi/Abner B.S. was immediately removed last year).

Would that be you?:confused: It's a hopeless battle (akin to fighting a tidal wave) and I was just joking around.:p
