Indiana Jones 4

-They digitally touched up Indy's face in a couple scenes and I lol'd

They DID? Are you talking wrinkle removal or some other de-aging process?

If so, lol indeed. That's just sad.

-How do you get a motorcycle on a passenger plane and bring it to South America? And then they barely even used it!

Yeah, I thought that was pretty stupid too. And Mutt's some punk kid, there's no way he had the money for a plane ticket for both himself and a fucking motorcycle. You know Indy got stuck paying for them both.

[EvilMog]

LOL exactly.

I'm 90% positive about the retouching on Indy's face. There was something going on anyway. In a couple of the scenes when he was standing around with the Russians it looked like his head didn't belong on his body. I think they blurred out wrinkles and tried to give him a youthful glow. Then when he is in the background his face is all craggy again.

I agree with whoever said people wouldn't have such an issue with what happened in this movie if it was just done well.

Ahem.

...noooot really.

Yes really. You are fronting like a madman.

-People should be mentioning the motorcycle slide along with waterfalls and nuke fridge. Indy wouldn't have slid with the motorcyle like that, he'd have gone about 10 feet and the cycle would have kept going alone because of the difference in momentum and friction. Another dumb ending to an otherwise good scene.

If you're going to complain about that, how did the motorcycle start right back up after sliding on its side like that? The spark would've been flooded and it would have taken a lot of gurgly half starts to get it going again. but it was a movie and it would've been less exciting, so I DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN.

Yes really. You are fronting like a madman.

I'm not sure you know what "front" means. Unless you mean "being up front about not having any desire to see this movie again until it hits cable".

Don't put all the blame on Lucas. Spielberg's the man who decided against traditional special effects.

When first approaching the latest "Indy," director Steven Spielberg considered dusting off his old-school approach.

"He thought maybe we should just go back to the way we did things before, like matte paintings on glass and things like that," said visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. "We entertained that idea for a little bit, but we realized we could serve the story better by using our digital tools."

The old tricks + new special effects would have been a killer combo.

I wonder if Speilberg's decisions was laziness, half baked-ness, washed-upness, or simply concern that he wouldn't be able to find enough stunt doubles that looked old enough to be Harrison Ford if he shot it the old way.
