They really don't need to advertise this movie at all.

There you go again celebrating others disappointment and talking down to people's joy. So strange.

Also, JJ Abrams is 10 x the filmmaker that George ever was and Steven has been in years. This will be far and away better than the second worst Indy movie. There's a 0% chance this is even anywhere near as bad as Temple of Doom.

I can handle a little rubbing. Especially from someone with such terrible tastes as LV. And McP is just hilariously curmudgeon.

Also, Crystal Skull is not the abomination people make it out to be.

And no. And no. And no (Temple of Doom is one of my favorite movies, but I'm sure we've covered this).

This thread is like 80% delirious, fawning genuflection at the altar of SW and 20% skepticism/criticism/negativity, and the latter is a little tired? How do you feel about the #AllLivesMatter campaign?

The opening sequence of Crystal Skull was great. And there's some perfectly watchable moments in the rest.

This should probably go in a different thread, but, in all serious, outside of what I just posted in the last 5 minutes in the Spectre thread... what have I posted today that comes across as "touchy?"

Oh, I see. It's just my turn. Yeah, it's been awhile.

I get it. Go ahead and have your fun. I can take it. Just let me know when we've officially moved on to the next person.
