The Glade 4.0

I had actually forgotten the young indiana jones chronicles, so I guess 5 people have played the role already. So wouldn't be that surprising that they're just going to hand it off. Oh well, that Chris Pratt, he's so hot right now.

I wonder if this will still be set in the 30-40s or if they will use a floating timeline like was done with Bond.

A remake isn't interesting, but putting it into current continuity would be stupid. Who is that movie even for? Piss off every demo?

I'd do him. Oh wait, you mean as in popular. NVM.

Sean Connery is overrated. Lazenby and Moore both did a better job than Connery did. Even though Thunderball is one of my favorite Bond movies, every time I think of Connery's cornball line deliveries in Largo's casino, I cringe.

Dalton... was not good. People misunderstand why...it's not because Dalton was poorly suited to the part. The director was trying to do a different Bond - the one in Ian Flemming's books, lacking in any lightheartedness or humor at all. It didn't work. Brosnan would have been the best if he'd had a single decent script.

Well, second best. Blondie is awesome.

I largely agree with you, Taly. Mostly, I disagree because I think Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies weren't terrible scripts, so they largely worked. And I also disagree that the Dalton approach utterly failed. Commercially, you're probably right, but The Living Daylights was a decent Bond entry.

Maybe. It could be that License to Kill was just so bad, it spilled over into Living Daylights and tarnished it.

Goldeneye was not horrible. The World is Not Enough had the misfortune of casting Denise Richards, which single-handedly ruined it, so maybe the script wasn't at fault. Sadly, Terri "they're real and they're magnificent" Hatcher and the wonderful Michelle Yeoh couldn't save Tomorrow Never Dies. And we won't mention the last Brosnan movie.

I really love Goldeneye. I also really like The World is Not Enough, though yes, Denise Richards as "Christmas Jones" strained credulity even more than she strained her tank top. Tomorrow Never Dies was baaad. And like Taly, That Other One doesn't even rate a mention by name. Shudder.

Wait, I always get The World is Not Enough and Tomorrow Never Dies backwards.

I wanted to like Tomorrow Never Dies, because the concept of the villain and his plot to create an international incident is cool, but the execution was incredibly corny with the stealth boat and casting.

I can overlook Denise Richards' complete inability to sell intelligence as a physicist to like The World is Not Enough.

You forgot the helicopter scene. You know the one.

Apparently I did, since I have no idea what you're talking about.

This video is making fun of how obvious it is that the helicopter is full of dummies.

What it's forgetting is the director's chair also had a dummy in it. Unfortunately, I can't find video of the entire scene, but this helicopter hovers motionless for several seconds, blocking the motorcycle's path, at almost a 45 degree angle to the ground. Director Roger Spottiswoode first asked the pilot to do it, and was informed that helicopters must be level to hover motionless. So instead, the director went and got a crane to have the helicopter suspended to make his idea work.

Morons.

Ah, selective memory at its finest. At least, until a "friend" goes and ruins the brain's defensive mechanisms, forcing me through all this pain yet again...

This isn't actually news, more confirmation of what we all knew from the moment Disney bought LucasFilm:

Disney is planning a new Indiana Jones Movie.

Jackie's complete speculation on a script:

Barnett College, New York
1972

Lightning flashes in the window. The sound of heavy rain can be heard. Two men in very wet suits approach the woman at the reception desk. One pulls out Identification.

"Ma'am, I'm Agent Whitaker, with the National Security Agency. This is Agent Brown. We have an appointment to see the dean."

The woman looks up at the men, and presses an intercom button. "Professor Jones, your ten o'clock is here."

A voice crackles on the intercom. "Send them in, Irene."

The men proceed through the door. An elderly Dr. Jones (Harrison Ford) sits at his desk looking over paperwork. He doesn't look up.

"So Uncle Sam needs my help again, boys? Can't find anyone younger to do your work for you? I'm retiring in three months."

Brown fidgets. Whitaker smiles grimly.

"We need your brain, not your bullwhip, Doctor. Brezhnev's boys have a significant head start on us. I'm told you know something about {insert fabled artifact here}?"

Doctor Henry Walton Jones, Jr. sets down his pen, slowly removes his glasses, and runs his hand over his face, before putting his glasses back on and looking up at the NSA agents.

"That's not a path we want to go down," he says simply. "Leave it alone. Let the Soviets have it."

Brown shakes his head. "That explanation won't fly at headquarters. We need more."

Indiana grabs a cane, and stands up, walking over toward a bookshelf, scanning the books slowly.

"It's a long story, gentlemen. And one you can't hear without losing a few nights sleep afterward. This might as well be Pandora's Box. Are you sure?"

Whitaker sits down. "We have time."

Jones pulls a book from the shelf and goes back to his desk to sit down.

"It was, uh, i think 1933..."

Fade to black, fade in with the camera dramatically panning up the body of a man standing in the rain, his familiar leather jacket, whip hanging at his belt, and wide-brimmed fedora in evidence. Lightning flashes in the background. (Chris Pratt)

Changed it to 1972, so we could tie it in with why NASA stopped going to the moon...
