CAN SOMEBODY STOP THIS NOW?

I think they're gonna learn from their mistakes. Spielberg isn't an idiot. I bet this last outting is pretty good.

Recast it with Anthony Ingruber, have Harrison Ford in it too as Indy but with Anthony Ingruber as Indiana Jones. As a young Indy we'd get to see him fight Nazis again and go to far flung places chasing after relics in a time when the world was a little more dangerous and mysterious.

I liked Crystal Skull alright. I think they'll take some cues from Harrison Ford's recent movies like Blade Runner 2049 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He'll handle the dramatic moments and some of the action while they give him a sidekick to do the more difficult stunts.

God hates you! So, are you going to watch it or four more years of trolling?

I never understood the logic of these movie studios.

First they take something that has a following, like an old classic from the 1980s.

Then they MUTATE IT COMPLETELY to be something absolutely different and separate from the 1980s classic, but still use the NAME to draw in audience.

How can they think they can profit that way?

I mean, if you are going to remake something, it's already problematic, because if you make it too much like the original, it's just going to look like a lame rip-off, a worse version of the original, and no one will like it.

If you make it too different, you alienate the people that loved the original, because it's nothing like that original, so there's nothing to like about it.

I am exaggerating a bit, but I don't get the logic of taking a 'famous name' and then changing it completely, and then expecting people to flock in and like it.

It's almost as if it's not important whether anyone likes it, but that people are DRAWN IN, and that's as far as their thinking goes. So they buy a license, then butcher it completely and wonder what went wrong.

If they want the old fans to like it, obviously the name isn't enough, the movie has to be good in a similar way that the first movie was good. If they want new fans (a bit of an oxymoron, of course) to like it, then they can't just rely on nostalgia and name, so it doesn't even make sense to USE the old name, because it means absolutely nothing to the new audiences (necessarily).

So whom are they trying to please? They can't please the old fans by mutilating their beloved franchise or movie, they can't please anyone new because they don't care about the name. Either way, it makes NO SENSE to just take some popular name from the 1980s and 'remake/reboot/whatever' it into a movie that you'd have to change quite a lot anyway, so you might as well make a completely new movie.

It's also astonishing how MUCH they are willing to sink money into 'woke' crap, but WON'T give new ideas a chance.
