Kingdom of the Crystall Skull reviews thread, Part Deux
Quint of AICN fame has published a new (and positive) review of "KotCS".
This review is only the fourth AICN have published, but after reading it, I'm now more inclined to think that the screenings did in fact take place.
I was going to add a link to this review to the "So where are all the other reviews?" thread I started today, but considering this review is the most considered and well-written of the ones that have been published on AICN so far, I think it deserves its own thread.
UGH. Everyone says that. So WHAT? How does it make things any more convenient to have 10 topics on the same thing? It doesn't, it's messy. Besides, this review was posted there hours ago.
Search and you shall be rewarded. Just because you deem something cluttered doesn't exempt you from having to do things like the rest of us.
AICN tends to either operate under a surfeit of unhinged fanboyism for a certain movie, or a gummy morass of miscellaneous jackasses claiming director so-and-so sodomized their fond childhood memories of something. Glad to see a positive Indy 4 "review", though.

Hey, hey, hey; slow down there, turbo! I have no aversion to searching monstrous threads.
I just thought this review was too important to get lost in the clutter of that thread.
I don't see what's wrong with having a separate thread for each review, at least at this early stage when the reviews are just trickling in.
That "early stage" is going to last roughly a week. No point.
But let's compromise. If something has become a monster, it has to be slain. So from this point on, this thread shall be used as the previous one was. Don't open any more stray ones however. One of the mods will be on scene to slam this one shut (and prompting you to open a new one) once s/he starts thinking it's become too cluttered.
Continue.
And RA... please leave the modding to the mods. Or at least the patronizing tidbits.
god dammit, why the hell are we still listening to these people?? Why do we care what they think, even if they have seen the movie? They're obviously biased, odds are most of us will like it!
For no other reasons than habit and sentiment, I'll be eager to get the Empire opinion. They've always been enthusiastic, though not blindly in love, with the possibility of Indy 4. It it gets less than four stars, I'll be worried.
Will the Cannes screening be over this time seven days from now? Is it an afternoon or evening show? Either way, the opinions, be they good, be they bad, are but seven days away?
The 'reviewers' are probably Dark Knight freaks, jealous of Indy's popularity and who want nothing to stand in the way of their precious Batman and his Boy Wonder.
A similar occurence happened in 1989 with LC and the Nicholson Batman.

You took the thoughts out of my mind. It was hip to be a Batfreak circa 1989, with Prince and all the merchandising. Indy was deemed comfy, fluffy family fare.
I think the reason for the lack of "professional" reviews is due to some kind of an embargo which means that critics are not aloud to post their reviews until a specific date. That's why at this point we only have "spy" accounts such as whats been floating around on AICN.
