the number of people willing to pay money to look at pheobe waller bridges face for two and half hours is quite low
Even with all the poor opinions I would have went to see it if their replacement lead was good looking. Shia and Kate Blanchet made crystal skull bearable
Do most people consider her ugly? I really liked Fleabag and thought she was really hot in that
i'd go balls-deep no condom in her but would never want to be in a relationship lasting more than an hor with her. i'm also non-white if that is relevant (it is).
I think she's kinda hot too but that thing on her head is fricking weird
she's in a relationship with the writer of In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_McDonagh
the guy's basically a liberal feminist.
UH OH, MARIOBROS…
Oh no bros Spiderverse has made half what Mario did. We're truly fricked now.
>nooo we didn't make as much as the most recognized IP in the world
I think they'll be fine with their hefty profit.
"I am with stupid"
More like I with guy that gave me a career.
He was old as shit back then too and only slightly less grumpy. Why they wanted to do another is beyond me.

It’s interesting how Harrison Ford seems complicit with the destruction of his 2 most famous characters
When Disney throws massive amounts of money at you, you just phone it in and don't give a shit.
He has never cared about ANY character that he has played
He cared a little bit about Deckard, and publicly disagreed with Scott about the replicant shit, he wouldn’t have done that if he didn’t give a shit, he really doesn’t give a shit about the others.
You forgot Blade Runner. Funnily enough Indy 5 had the same final act of Ford being captured, sat on his ass in a flying machine.
>boomer action hero has generic adventures while trying to stop an evil nazi plot
yeah wow such an original and compelling plot
can't believe people aren't interested in this
If that's all it was it would have made a billion dollars lol, making it a fricking 80 year old man in the lead role and taking on a quippy millennial woman to act as a Kathleen Kennedy self-insert crippled it.
I had so much second hand embarrassment at how hard the movie tried to convince you she is attractive.
My favorite is when she starts reading off her laundry list of empowered female attributes to Indie during the car chase scene. What a shit movie.
qrd? What does she say?
The exchange went something like this:
>"Would your father have been proud of you?!"
>"What, that his daughter is smart, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, quit-witted, resourceful, etc etc"
Was that written by a woman?
It's weird how women demand that people praise them instead of doing the things that deserve praise.
Was it Gal Gadot in Fast and Furious tier?
Not quite, as another woman who is genuinely strikingly beautiful doesn't walk past her and ruin the narrative during the "Wow, Gal is so hot!" scene
The face of a flop. She has a negative impact at the box office.
I’m schizophrenic but a message in my head is telling me this is what the nephelim looked like, like the clown from terrifier without makeup. It’s unsettling and humans recoil naturally.

>covers massive hideous mole
>still unattractive
it's the giant popeye chin and weird downward pointing nose
She has that horrible inbred upper class bong face.
It's like she was designed in a lab to be as aesthetically unpleasant as possible
If they really wanted to make money they would put a girl like pic related. Make her charming, bratty and developping sort of father- daughter with with Indy.
Indy is depressed because of his sons dead, but she helps him stand up, instead of putting him down and at the end he becomes the old indy, saves her and then gives her the hat.
There Disney, you can have it for 10m, I know is not cheap but is better than losing hundreds later when it flops
Funny how this is even worse, than Flash, yet media isn't as aggressive about it
The fact that the movie failed its opening weekend just proves how damaged the LucasFilm/Disney is. If their names meant anything, the movie should have opened big and then saw a massive dropoff like TLJ, but I guess the general audience doesn't like getting burned that many times.
Harrison Ford is fricking 80.
I grew up on a diet of Indiana Jones and Han Solo but I don't want to see an 80 year old man in a soulless CGI shitfest.
Who the frick is this movie even aimed at?
Nobody.
That’s the problem. There are tens of millions of Indians Jones fans out there. Crystal Skull made $1.1 billion despite not even being that good. But those Indy fans are all too aware of Kathleen Kennedy and her destructive antagonistic films. So those folks won’t show up and give that b***h a dime. So, who’s left? Zoomers? They don’t go to the movies
>flash reported budget 150m/estimated marketing 200m = 350m total
>indiana jones 5 reported budget 329m/estimated marketing 150m = 479m total

Post more, I’m getting hard.

made less than the fricking flash in worldwide numbers. holy frick
Kathleen Kennedy is box office poison. Every single movie she put out since The Last Jedi has been a flop.
Solo flopped
Rise of Skywalker flopped
Willow flopped
Dial of Destiny flopped
The Last Jedi and Kathleen Kennedy killed Lucasfilm. It’s dead
I wouldn't say Rise of Skywalker flopped, sadly, but it clearly underperformed and made nowhere near as much money as it should have.
TFA was not good, but it had all of the goodwill hype of Star Wars behind it, so it was going to be successful no matter what.
It had Han Solo/ The Millennium Falcon/ Chewy/ R2/ 3PO/ Leia/ Luke Skywalker
That’s why TFA made $2 billion. The above characters are the most popular in Hollywood history. A New Hope made $4 billion at the box office
>ugly roastie is the main focus in all of the advertising

It's like they wanted it to fail.
they probably did, because no matter what, another white male icon bites the dust
>ugly roastie is the main focus in all of the advertising
I literally haven’t seen her in any of it
>Harrison quite obviously doesn't give a shit like he has for the past 30 years
You know, I grew up with Han & Indy, and as a Ford fan, I'm REALLY sick of him publicly stating in so many interviews how he's just in it for the paycheck. Yeah buddy, even your longtime fans know it by now.
Harrison was literally the ONLY "pull" for a 5th Indy, but he shat all over the 4th (reports of him on set saying "okay lets shoot this piece of shit", etc), but if he doesn't care, why the frick should I?
He is too fricking old anon, he is older than Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
It is absurd to have an 80 year old man fronting an action and adventure movie famous for stunts and spectacle.
Harrison Ford has been a grumpy old man since the 00s, and it's honestly kind of pathetic. It's like he's trying to be Clint Eastwood, but bitter, and intentionally unpleasant. He feels like the type of guy who you wouldn't want to be around for long periods of time.
Kek! You must be a twink to pull that amount of bullshit out your ass.
The dude has been acting old, and surly, and bitter for 15+ years, but not in a way that shows any integrity. He takes all the jobs that destroy his character. He's money-grubbing, antagonistic, and unpleasant.
>okay lets shoot this piece of shit
But that's what he said about Captian America? Uh oh
>of him publicly stating in so many interviews how he's just in it for the paycheck
This is his way of telling you that shitty cynical blockbusters are casting him for star power and you shouldn't give them a cent, you're just too dumb and celebrity obsessed to pick up on it.
>shitty artifact that isn't as iconic as the Arc or the Holy Grail
You make it sound like it was a thing when they just pulled it out of their ass
The crystal skull was an artifact that they pulled out of their ass just like this time dial. It's not as interesting as actual mythical historical artifacts
The dial is a reference to the Antikythera mechanism, though.
Which has nothing to do with time travel or altering history at all
No one knows what that is
People had heard of the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant
Not to mention
>Time travel
>spiderman 2 560 million globally
>movie has been shill non stop in every social media
>only 600 million after a month
kek
>"only" 600 million after a month
Given how heavily it's been shilled (Sony even claimed its trailers were the most watched of any superhero movie released this year), you figure it should be in the billion-dollar club, not sub-Big Hero 6.
Another 2 months left in the theater tho
It’s literally the only successful blockbuster of the summer so far. This year has been the summer of bombs.
It made profit. Cope.
kinda annoying that Cinemaphile now pretends every movie is a failure/not very successful if it doesn't make a billion.
>Cinemaphile had roughly a million discussions about Dial of Destiny before it even came out
>every one of them listed the many reasons why the film appeals to literally no one, never mind actual Indy fans
>it's flopping just as hard as anyone with a brain predicted it would
Why would a white person go to see this
Because we wuz romans
is that mutt monstrosity actually in the film?
He is not a mutt. He is pure bred Nafri
They literally turned the african kid into a compulsive thief.
We haven't gotten one movie from Disney where the male lead is a badass and mentors the newcomer where she learns a great deal and looks at him with admiration, and then earns his respect to the point where he passes the torch to her.
Like they are not capable of writing this. The male lead must always be a broken washed-up loser and the newcomer female is just better than him and talks down to him constantly, and it always has to end with him acknowledging her superiority and she doesn't even need his torch because she's usurping his legacy whether he wants it or not.
Disney saw Top Gun Maverick. They know the winning formula, and they just ignore it.
>she doesn't even need his torch because she's usurping his legacy whether he wants it or not.
This never happens thoe
>rey skywalker
oh I thought you were talking about indy
>Disney saw Top Gun Maverick. They know the winning formula, and they just ignore it.
They can't do it yet. Films are usually planned and worked on years in advance. Top Gun Maverick was released last year, so any reaction to imitate that, would be released about three to four years from that point
They wouldn't have been able to change Indiana Jones 5 in reaction to Top Gun Maverick unless they scrapped the entire thing and take a massive loss, because they worked on it over the past three or so years
When Disney changed the Wandavision script to prevent Wanda getting help from Dr Strange (thus making sure he would not appear in the show in any way), you knew they choose to burn their own projects.
They had the blueprints and talent to keep printing money.
They chose on purpose to lose money.
For an 80 year old he's still relatively badass, but there are no real knockdown brawls like the other Indiana Jones films. She's not a know it all, Indy solves the problems, she just comes across as a sociopath ready to leave him to die at the beginning of the film though she does get more sentimental and attached to him as the film goes on. Thats why she didnt let him stay in Sicily, she didnt want to lose another "relative".
>doesn't humiliate the male lead mentor and prove he's a sexist bigot
Yikes that's genocide

Zaym
film is a visual medium, theres a reason hollywood actors have generally been good looking. the recent trend of casting the hideous and deformed in lead roles is starting to backfire.
Movies are also an escape, so you can go into a world and view a story with things that are nice to look at and are entertaining. When you return to reality after leaving the movies, you have to suffer looking at fat mobility scooter whales, ugly obese multi-hair color freaks and everything else that scars the eyes. Now they are bringing all of that into the movies themselves for "realism" or "representation" and people understandably don't want it.
>Hideous nepo lead female
>Disgusting muttoid sidekick
>Neither are likable or have any redeeming qualities to make up for it
Crystal skull killed Indiana Jones much like TLJ killed Star Wars. People just are not excited to see Indy again, much less seeing him "passing the torch"
>much less seeing him "passing the torch"
This doesn't even happens. I guess they got cold feet. The ending seemed a little rushed
Allegedly, the ending was changed. It was supposed to end with Indie getting blasted to the shadow realm by time, and then Phoebe becomes the new Indie and we were suppose to get an ending montage of her recreating all of the famous Indie scenes.
Sounds stupid but the real ending seemed like it was written and shot in an afternoon
Studio realized how bad they fricked up too late and tried to undo it with some cheap reshoots and editing a few scenes. The stain of woke does not wash away so easily. This movie should NEVER have been made.
How does it end?
Indy wakes up. His wife comes back. Everyone goes out for ice cream.
No, really. It is very anticlimactic
kek glad they weren’t that dumb
No no I’m upset we didn’t get that. This is just a flop, that would’ve been a catastrophe in every way and a PR nightmare, I wish they’d done it
You were going to ignore this movie anyway, but I’d love to see them try to retcon the entirety of a man out of it and make everyone pretend to be excited about this online. I would’ve paid to see the Twitter defense force.
True. They might have made more money doing that
Anyone got full leaks? I always ignore them.
They should have gone with this, as a demo showcase of current Hollywood moronation
Shame really. Now it's just a subpar piece of shit instead of the garbage fire it could've been
Do people actually believe this stuff?
>already know for a fact that the movie got extensive reshoots
>literally everyone agrees that there is something odd about the ending (rushed, anticlimatic, blatantly reshooted)
>according to the leaks Indy dies, in the ending we got a wounded Indy somehow survives
>hurrr those leaks are total bullshit guys!
I thought doth indys died in the leaks
The leaks said they travel back in time to the 1930s and 1930s Indy dies. That’s far too big a change for reshoots since they only travel back to the Siege of Syracuse in in 212 BC. For the leaked ending to be real, they would have had to change two thirds of the movie instead of just the ending.
You really don't think they also couldn't cut stuff out of the film?
it lines up still. young indy dies and they go back further in time then old indy dies
him meeting a young indie was teased so hard, but then they didn't do that and did the syracuse shit and the movie became significantly less interesting
i think they would have like 4 hours of footage
considering the 329 million dollar budget i think its possible they do so many reshoots they essntially made two completely different movies.
I’m sure the other version was pure unadulterated Kathleen Kennedy humiliation The Last Jonesi type degradation flick. She’s a fricking fanatic.
Next time, ***, try to be more subtle
Fricking moron. That was from the same spoilers that Young Indy joined them for most of the film, and that wasn't just cut out.
Obviously Indy died and that was reshot. But Phoebe replacing him at all points in history? How would that even work when the Dial only takes you to one point in history? That was always bullshit.
You people are a bunch of stupid parrots who just repeat back everything, but don't have the sense to dig out the few nuggets of truth in a pile of bullshit.
Reddit spacing, didn’t read
>TRIGGERED!
Yep, moron confirmed.
>thinks that's what reddit spacing is
newbie alert. it truly is summer
by saying it made more than last crusade or whatever
Given the reshoots and comments by Ford and williams, no doubt there were multiple endings at one point. The original ending was Phoebe replacing Indiana which is why mangold got so upset, but it had to change once they realized the consequences of such an ending. It doesn't even have to involve time travel and can just be Phoebe leaving Indiana behind and taking his place against current day Nazis in the present.
How many times are the boomers going to fight the nazis?
>But Phoebe replacing him at all points in history? How would that even work when the Dial only takes you to one point in history?
oh right, because they can't just reshoot/rewrite that
If Indy gets erased from history, and she travels to a time period before raiders of the lost ark, then she can absolutely foil the plans of each Indiana Jones villain in iconic moments from the franchise because Indiana Jones already did it all the first time without any time travel. Once she goes far back enough she never has to travel through time again if she can accept living in the past
I do think it's likely the movie originally ended with Indy dying but when Iger came back he saw what they were doing and freaked out, probably saying "I will not have another Last Jedi on my hands!" hence the bafflingly abrupt ending.
I still hate the fact that this leaked and got trashed online so hard that they did reshoots. Even if it was a deliberate leak on the part of some well meaning homosexual at the studio, it would've been otherworldly kino to watch that dogshit ending play out for real.
There is no passing the torch, Indiana Jones is a basic movie series there’s only one real character, without Indy it’s not Indiana Jones
>Crystal skull killed Indiana Jones much like TLJ killed Star Wars.
Stupid frick
Crystal Skull was just a bad film
TLJ actively hated and destroyed its biggest legacy character.
Not even the same ballpark you smoothbrain.
reviews are saying this is worse that CSkull, and it's got more KK and wallorbridge influence. wallorbridge is also the writer who killed the last james bond movie.
Crystal Skull is a bad Indiana Jones movie, but a good action adventure movie. Dial of Destiny is a bad Indiana Jones movie and a bad action adventure movie.
didn't even watch the entire camrip
>Ill will toward Lucasfilm cultivated by Kennedy and the others for the past eight years, so the people who would be willing to take a chance on a Lucasfilm project aren't willing to go see it
>People who were iffy about Harrison Ford playing Indy in 4, already even more skeptical that it'd work for 5, a movie released 15 years after 4
>Rumors of the original ending spread (and it was obvious it was true despite shills' insistence to shut it down) which made people wary because this was the same version of Lucasfilm that released Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, so it was easily believable
But the biggest one
>It was allowed not just a showing at Cannes, but reviewers were allowed to release their reviews a month before the film is released. Lucasfilm scrambled to fix the RT score but it was too late, because Lucasfilm's reputation at this point was enough for people to believe the negative reviews
I can’t believe Disney submitted two of their awful movies to the Cannes and the Cannes hated both of them. Hilarious
Either:
the people who made those movies were arrogant enough to believe Cannes would applaud them and Iger let it through because he knew it could be used against them
or
Iger himself got them submitted to humiliate and scapegoat them for Disney's problems
It's the former, Disney has been using the "friends and family" method of screen testing to prevent leaks, which basically just produces Yes Man.
They put Elemental and Dial of Destiny up because they were getting rave reviews from the employee's friends and family.
Still better than Flash)
-ACK
i see you and appreciate your effort anon
It warms my heart to read such news. I'm glad to see woke projects fail and no matter how much shilling they employ they aren't going to rescue this flop. Hear that shills? We aren't seeing this fricking movie and your shilling has only strengthened our resolve. I have personally talked my brother, parents, cousins and friends out of seeing this movie. I personally cost them at least 10 ticket sales. There are millions of us doing the same needful work. How much success have you had, shills?
>woke projects
The movie isn't good, but there really is nothing woke in it.
The mutt and the lady doing all the classic macho male behavior.
no one under 50 cares about indiana jones
>biggest financial failure in the history of Hollywood
How are they going to spin this?
They don't. They will just rave about its box office numbers without talking about the budget.
They're doing it for Elemental. They're raving about its amazing legs (which is true), but if you bring the budget in it's still going to be a bomb.
Its gonna drop hard. homosexuals were doing the clod meme all week but they got tired of it and won't be purchasing more tickets.
Elemental only has good legs relative to its opening because its opening weekend was awful. These third week numbers would normally be awful, its just that the terrible opening weekend lowered expectations.
Bragging about legs off of such a bad opening is weird cope, too. The longer a movie's in theatres, the more of its gross goes to the cinema chains. That's why Hollywood loves capeshit and female coomer shit like Twilight, because it makes it budget back and then someone in the first 2 weeks.
normies are so fricking stupid and don't know the basics for fricking selling something.
How?
Reshoots are literally always a mistake.
Any interest anyone had evaporated the moment it was released they were delaying it to reshoot.
It spells total frickup and 0 confidence in your own story, so no one is gonna show up. Hopefully the lesson taken here is to stop this reshoot shit and just work with what you already decided was good enough to put to film in the first fricking place.
99% of viewers do not even know or care if a movie got reshoots.
There is no reason a properly storyboarded movie should take longer than 8 weeks to shoot. If it has stunts, or can double that to 16 weeks.
Even the matrix 1 only took 26 weeks
You're looking for explanations? I give you the simple one: Over half the country has had enough of woke shit and they will bleed you dry until you make a 180 and release troons getting eviscerated by a nude pornstar with big breasts surrounded by Black personheads on spears.

have you been under a rock this past decade? lmao
just shitposting anon
I'm calling it now: if Kathleen Kennedy doesn't get shitcanned after this, Bob Iger may become a glowie and have someone take KK out.
I want to make it clear, I do NOT endorse any acts that may lead to someone's harm. It does not matter if they make bad movies, no one like that is deserving of any violence of any kind. I am simply saying this as a conspiracy theory that may come to pass.
KK has been responsible for some of Disney's most recent disasters (SW as a brand, Willow being erased, Indy, and countless others that aren't fully known to the public) and somehow, SOMEHOW, she still has an executive position at the company. Better producers have been removed for less, yet she still remains. It clear as day, she has something that protects her from losing her job and reputation. What exactly, who knows. Bob knows and he needs to do something about it.
I can imagine it now
>Bob gets an intern to directly message a psycho who's on the edge (who happens to have liked SW)
>They reaffirm the psycho's beliefs and tells them that they should take matters into their own hands
>Suddenly, the "death threats" every Disney employee is forced to read dries up for KK, making her feel at ease
>She goes out one day, maybe to an Elton John concert, that the psycho is suspiciously aware of, and he does the deed, at dirt cheap
>Now Bob has not only quietly gotten rid of his greatest mistake, but now he kill two bird with one stone by tar and feathering the "toxic fans" and "trolls" that caused this hideous act
>He can then recover his legacy and pass down his problems/debts onto the next sap who takes his place
So if you see a post on here or /pol/, saying how (You) should take care of KK, there's a chance that you may be speaking to the CEO of the happiest place on Earth.
Don’t you see, it’s clearly being done on purpose. For whatever reason they have
>it’s clearly being done on purpose
The parasites are setting up China as their new host. America’s movie industry must fall and made weak, along with the rest of the west.
here king, this is for you
I think he would just poison her if he wanted to kill her.
Plus wtf is he gonna do about her deadman's switch in this scenario?
the idea of getting someone else to get rid of KK is that it keeps your hands cleans, so there's no reason to pull any deadman's switch. Especially when you blame trolls and toxic fans. Keep in mind, we're dealing with people who waste hundreds of millions a year, they're not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Ordinarily, someone else would be in charge of that switch so even in the event of the person's death their trusted associate will pull it for them.
But they're moronic so okay I guess this works.
>But they're moronic
and that's how you get away with murder
>so there's no reason to pull any deadman's switch
The point of a deadman’s switch is it doesn’t need to be pulled.
A example is KK has to send a password to a random server once every 15 days or it automatically sends out a press brief to 15 different media and a mass email to everyone on her contact list.
So once she dies it goes out auto
If you have to “pull” a deadman’s switch, it isn’t a deadman’s switch,
as soon as they figure out her setup she is toast
Genuinely didn't know that, interesting. Makes sense though. Theoretically though, if she entrusted it to someone, could that someone kill the switch for good.
dead man's switch brah
calm down doomwiener, KK is untouchable because she's Spielbergs favorite literal coffee girl forever which is how she made it.
The reason Bob Iger keeps her is simply israeli upbringing. israeli men are abused by b***hes, their wives, sisters, mother's are exactly like KK. 80% of israeli women are screeching harpies just like KK.
Bob Iger and his israeli/Disney council feels at home having her around, that's why she had hundreds of chances
>It clear as day, she has something that protects her from losing her job and reputation
frank marshall (her husband), friend of spielbergo, the biggest moneymachine in hollywood, no need to wear your conspiracy hat
explain to me how a movie that needs a 100 million budget MAXIMUM needed over 300+ million? is it money laundering? why make a movie so ridiculously expensive if you need to break records just to break even? Something doesnt smell right about this israeliteery.
People are speculating they needed many reshoots because the original ideas weren’t working out. Given KK’s track record (i think we are at 10 cancelled projects?) it kind of makes sense. Either they were making it in a way she didn’t like so she demanded they turn the ship around, or she was leading it in a crappy way and execs panicked and demanded they turn the ship around. Or both.
True, TFA and Rogue One had moderate reshoots while Solo and TROS were totally overhauled and rewritten, the latter probably numerous times.
They are bad with money,
Peak nepotism of all middle mangers, which is where you place your useless relatives in a nepotism system.
It was always there, the vhs boom of the 1980s covered it up a lot beucase they were backing dump trucks full of money up to the studios from vhs sales, but it did’nt really hit the point of no return till around 2001, after that was a positive feedback loop to doom that hit critical mass about 2016
Everything is a clusterfrick.
Take this scene
Normally you just shoot the scene, and it’s in the can. An hours worth of work.
Now you have to shoot it with a special camera, send it to deaging cgi staff, have them spend weeks or more on it (depending on how good you want it to look).
Weeks of worth,
All for your clusterfrick of deaging actors you can’t let go of. Boomers are all like this, kk, Igor, the presidents of the US they just keep voting for their class
Marketing costs an extra 50 million. Theaters keep 50% of the profit. Hollywood accounting.
>beloved director does something that makes manbabies cry about their children's franchise and they are now hated forever
It's another Rian Johnson. Sad. Shame on you Cinemaphile.
director
By whom? He made 2 good movies and the rest was capeshit and slop.
Its no where near as bad or franchise killing as The Last Jedi. Its a bit flat and unexciting and you cant see where the $300m went. Its ok, but not worth paying to see.
>Beloved director
>Rian Johnson

Old white men aren't cool anymore. Young black kings are. Simple as.
No one likes Black folk
>movie doesn't appeal to boomers who watched Raiders when it released
>movie doesn't appeal to Gen X or Millenials who grew up watching the VHS
>movie ticks all the marketing boxes for a generation that consumes media on a 3x6 brick in their hands
Weird, why did noone come and see the movie? Especially at $20+ per ticket.
>when discussing this movie, people say Indie/Indiana Jones instead of Harrison Ford, but will always refer to Phoebe's character "Helena" as Phoebe
That's all you need to know about what people think about that shitty character compared to a character that actually is iconic.
we refer to her as fleabag
The only hope for Disney/Lucasfilm is that Mission Impossible flops. Then it can be spun as a general decline in franchise movies.
I plan to see Mission Impossible in theater. Tom always delivers on stunts and I want to see that shit on the big screen,
I have no desire to see Indy 5. I'm tired of the girl boss shit and Crystal Skull was stupid.
Is Mads based in it at least?
he's phoning it in
Lol, I can't even begin to imagine the set where both Harrison and Mads are bored out of their minds, seeing who can phone it in harder
He is wasted as always
Anyone else surprised this character didn't have a deformed face?
He wears a nazi uniform, so yes.
he is a very convincing nazi... too convincing some might say
No, he's a pathetic fool, keeps getting blown up, bashed, tricked all the time. He acts well, but the villian is as bland as the film.
At one point he gets tricked and Indy and bosswoman escape his boat. Then when they are at a location of some secret tomb, or whatever, he just teleports to that location and ambushes them. Nothing explained, he just gets there on a shock treatment. Also, he want's Nazis to win the war, so he decides to kill Hitler. That's all there is to him. He's barely evil at all, at one point he asks Indy to join him; "since they are the last of their kind."
>want nazis to win the war
>by killing hitler
So the writers have a surface level understanding of German politics during that era.
And take his place, don't forget that.
Miles chads, we can't stop winning.
Anyone who gave a shit about the forced romance subplot is fooling themselves. Spot and Miguel saved the film.
>Least deluded Cinemaphile user
The Blackening made 3x it’s budget
>lets make a fifth film 15 frickin years after the last one, I'm sure people still care
Just a company being stupid.
>Asteroid City only cost $25 million despite having like 30 stars
>won't make it's money back
Cinema is dead
People will watch it in streaming though
It’s made $29 million and it’s only been wide release for a week. Stop spreading FUDD.
These opening numbers for IJ are terrible because it cost too much and went through extensive, expensive reshoots. Spider-Verse has its public and didn't stray off its beaten path and probably delivered what its viewers expected in a timely manner.
I have no idea why spiderverse is doing so well.
It's only domestically where it's going to double the income from the first film thanks to NWHgays watching it everyday.
It's the ultimate zoomer movie
if you make a shit movie people don't wanna see it
Xers and the like are tired of their childhood heroes being disgraced and humilated, only to be replaced with stock stronk woman.
Zoomers don't give a shit about these humilation rituals and aren't buying into the Reys and Fleabags
that's speaking about general audiences but their is a market for such things and it can be lucrative. if Indy wasn't 450 million dollar production (when factoring in marketing), sure the movie wouldn't be a flop.
the max budget for this kind of slop should be no more than 100 million.
if studios want to continue on this path, they needed to adjust their thinking. woke feminist garbage has a market but it's can't support a 450 million budget. studioes need to realize it's a good sized niche market but still just a niche.
Fleabag is horrible but somehow had pull with older millennials, Gen Xers, and some boomers. Fortunately, nobody is willing to pay for walled bridge’s Juno ripoff writing
Yes and international audiences in general regardless of age are openly turning their backs to Hollywood blockbusters that are burdened by woke nonsense.
it's eerily similar to how American appliances and automotives fell from grace
>GM and GE think they own the market
>make crap
>soon their reputations are in the gutter
>can't sell their shit despite long legacies
>shame consumers and act like there's some moral obligation to support them
>start to lose to foreign companies
>limp into congress every 10 year to beg for cash
Looking forward to the Hollywood bailout in five years because they couldn't be assed to just make a good movie.
>Zoomers don't give a shit about these humilation rituals and aren't buying into the Reys and Fleabags
based zoomer colonizing the earth
Indy Jones is past his sell by date. Spider-Man is the most popular comics character besides Batman and the movie's good.
Spider-Trans BTFO Indy.
One is the 5th movie in a trilogy that shouldn't have been made more of.
and the other is a highly anticipated squeal that's popular with zoomers.
So much Disney shit is going to rot in liquidation stores.
What's there to explain? Indian Jones set in the fricking late 1960s starring an 80-years old man isn't really that interesting of an idea.
Terrible title doesn't help either.
Why is every big movie bombing?
Top Gun Maverick didn't.
Tom is the only person left in Hollywood that knows how to make an old fashioned adventure film without any pandering to D&I. Thats why his films are successful. Hollywood has come full circle back to him. I actually want to see the Next Mission Impossible, I know I wont be disappointed, I'll get exactly what i expect.
Tom's got the entire Church of Scientology at his back and the military is desperate enough that they made sure nobody fricked with Top Gun. Most actors don't have those advantages.
That doesnt guarentee success at all, they cant force you to watch a film if its shit. Lucasfilm had history and Disney backing them but they failed.
the only thing wrong with this movie is the woman pilot.
She'd hold the team back;
They'd all run a train on her like a constant porno and she never fly's because she's always pregnant
she was nothing but a cheerleader for Mav and exposition tool for Rooster in the movie
that makes up for her presence & the "and Women" txt at the beginning imo
every Cinema in the world should just reserve a theatre for Top Gun Maverick every Sunday or something since there's still a lot of people that missed seeing it in the big screen.
Everyone I know that didn't says they regret it and would probably watch it in the theatre given the chance.
Hell I wouldn't mind watching it again on full IMAX.
Avatar 2 did not bomb.
He belongs in a museum!
Applebees you failed
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
disney is killing itself like bud light.
Miles is a palette swap of Peter Parker. There is nothing unique about him. He is just a “black” classic hero.
Spiderverse is entertaining, Indy is just ok. Spiderverse is current, Indy is 15 years since the last one.
If Lucasfilm wants my money for their products, the first thing they will do is fire Kathleen Kennedy. Until then, they can buy their own movie tickets
Woman director makes a lot of bad movies, and the dumb as shit general audience takes a long time to understand that.
I’m just glad audiences are starting to wise up to Disney’s bullshit
like every Hollywood movie does this. why do you guys think this is worth basing your entire personality off of. no one in real life gives a shit if a movie doesn't sell a lot of tickets or whatever.
start paying a therapist now
>Noooo please stop noticing israeli failures!
I will never stop noticing things Chaim
>make good movie
>people go to see it
>make bad movie
>people go to see it because of good movie
>make bad movie
>people don't go to see it because of bad movie
>make a movie with a white male lead
>it flops
>white male lead
Phoebe isn't THAT ugly, you chud.
Yeah, that not it, Jamarcus Sneakerlover. Last year, 90% of the top ten movies had white male leads, and it’ll be the same this year. And next year.
Take your little b***h $600 million hand me down cartoon and frick off.
Fleabag, you so sexy
Why don't they just choose to make a good movie instead? It's crazy.
It's not like they set out to make a bad movie. They believed this was a good movie. They even put it in Cannes.
People are tired of gritty piss and blue le realism filter. They want style and colors that pop
There was a time when;
Harrison Ford
Lucasfilm
Indiana Jones
Were literally 3 of the most valuable terms in Hollywood history. And now, because of The Last Jedi and Kathleen Kennedy’s continuous NONSTOP BULLSHIT, every single inch of Lucasfilm is DEAD.
I guess you shouldn’t have fricked with Luke Skywalker, huh Kathy??
Indiana Jones has white people, Spider-Man doesn’t.
Last Spider-Man live action movie with white male lead makes over $2 billion. A shitty little cartoon spin-off can’t even make a quarter of that.
You’re pathetic
How do you create a multi-million dollar Hollywood franchise? Give Kathleen Kennedy a multi-billion dollar Hollywood franchise.
Strong word of mouth apparently, people actually like it
>>look at how they massacred my boy
the easiest IP to make KINOs with and they still frick it up
hollywood is lucky that they don't any competition or they would be out of the movie business
They do have competition, China makes its own shit now and India has had Bollywood for decades.
5 minutes ago.
IT'S HAPPENING
CGI face
What the actual frick.
Where do you get these fake headline generators?
Grace thinks it has a chance of getting to 700mil. I don't get it bros. How does somebody who has a show called "movie math" get to be so box office illiterate?
>700mil
lmao, it'll be lucky to get $400 mil.
>EXPLAIN
easy. No Short Round. No deal
yep, not acknowledging him in any way over the last 3 films is bullshit
>His actor wins an academy award just prior to this film
It's like god is smiting Disney.
>Spiderverse is made with passion and respect to the character
>Indiana Jones is a corporate shit "movie" to resurrect a dead IP and replace the titular lead role with someone no one wants
Gee wonder why it failed
>hollywood respects its black male lead in spiderverse
>hollywood shits on its white male lead in indiana jones
hmmmm.
>Respect your beloved characters
>Succeed
>denigrate your beloved characters
>Fail
Mario Bros. Top Gun. Both recent Spider-Man movies. No Way Home easily, EASILY could have pulled a TLJ. Make Tobey bitter, and divorced from MJ, and then die from that stab wound he got near the end. Didn't though, and that made close to two billion.
He only signed on to do TFA if they made another Indiana Jones movie. At the time, there was no way he would know that everything will be a dumpster fire.
jurassic Parks budget was only 50million USD.
Indie Budget was 400 Million.
explained.
Jurassic Park 1 Budget was only 40million USD.
Indiana 5 was 400mil USD.
hollywood needs to learn how to make movies with normal budgets again or they die
not every movie needs Avatar-Tier budget
I'm pretty sure this movie was sent to die and recoup some loss, there's no universe even if it was good, would Indiana Jones have made a big enough profit for that budget to be excusable
Crystal Skull made $1.1 billion. An epic conclusion film that honored Indiana Jones might have made close to that.
But Kathy is going to Kathy so we got destructive flops.
40 million in 1992. So the budget was actually over $100 million. Learn how money works idiot
I saw it but didn't think it was that bad. However, it's plagued by some of the shit that most modern movies have like not being able to understand what some characters are saying at times because the audio is fricked. Also, in some of the nighttime action scenes I felt like I couldn't see shit at all. I also don't think it was necessary to show an 80 year old man shirtless at the beginning of the movie.
how tf is spiderverse doing so well
It's not hard to understand. The majority of moviegoers now are young millennials and zoomers. Spider-Man is their nostalgia, it's the cool shit they grew up with. Indiana Jones is their dad's shit, maybe even their grandfather's shit. It's not cool. Why the frick would they go pay to see it?
Top Gun made $1.5 billion with 60 year old Tom Cruise.
Mission Impossible is about to do the same numbers.
It’s Kathy and the whole fricking toxic brand she has built at Lucasfilm. My wife asked me to go to Indiana Jones for our date night on Friday and I said no. And I fricking love Indiana Jones. I’m one of millions that won’t give Lucasfilm a dime until they sunset that one woman wrecking machine
Important to note: cruise movies also have elements of feminism (strong badass women!!!) but it's not done in obnoxious way. yeah i'm talking the recent cruise reboots as well as older classics. i'm not a cruisehead by any means just saying, they did shit in a more subtle and artful way and the masses were OK with it. i haven't seen recent MI or TG movies.
I don’t mind a little feminism. The problem is that I never thought poorly of women anyway and so I don’t need to be lectured in a stupid corporate action film. Kathy just doesn’t fricking get that because she has a 69 IQ and thinks humiliating Indiana Jones is helping women or something
hardcore feminists like phebe and KK see it as a Zero-Sum game, in that to uplift women they think they must shit on men and take power away from males (the beneficiaries of patriarchy). that's basically the best summary of what's going on, both in movies and politics. it's annoying because the fact of the matter is that men work to maintain and protect society. i've chosen to opt out of that cucked behavior so there's that. i sleep like a baby.
>b-but how do you make money???
don't worry about it.
I was walking around Target today and overheard a 30 something man getting all excited and telling his wife and kids that he couldn't wait to see Ashoka when it comes out this fall. Think about that. That's the audience that Disney is trying to capture or has already captured. And then think about the larger audience that goes to the movies, which is a bunch of zoomers and young millennials at this point. They don't give a frick about Indiana Jones or Star Wars. That's not the stuff they grew up with. They grew up with Marvel, that's their legacy film franchise. And I know that Marvel we say is being beaten into the ground by poor management at Disney, but that's going to be their meal ticket in the next 5 to 10 years when all of those zoomers grow up and start having families of their own. Those 30 something year old man children who just consume everything Lucasfilms are going to be old men in a couple years who aren't going to the movies anymore. Why they can't grasp that now I don't fricking understand
Anon, Disney has lost all men 18-55 since the ST. You found a fricking normie chucklefrick unicorn. No adult male is excited about Ahsoka T. Feminism, the show.
It's weird I used to watch just about every movie that came out but once hollywood started putting out the "frick whitey" bullshit I just can't be bothered.
Why consume humiliation propaganda from people that hate you?
do you guys only gloat about your never ending culture war victories or do any threads process any movies worth watching
Zoomers only want to watch Black folk, their brains revolve entirely around Black folk and the existence of Black folk so if you want your film to make money have it star Black folk and only Black folk. Whitey has to go.
