Overlong 'Indiana Jones 4' At Least Promises Humorous Production Scrapbook
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 2:00 AM on April 17, 2008
We're not surprised at the news that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is locked in at a running time of 140 minutes — at least 20 minutes longer than it should be to achieve that coveted $300 million mark Paramount wants for it. But that's nothing compared to the film's production stills, the most dismaying of which we found couched over at Hollywood Elsewhere and you can check out after the jump.
We could buy Indiana Jones training a rocket launcher on Nazis 27 years ago in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but there's something more self-parodic than self-referential going on in the above photograph. This could very well be Paramount's stab at viral marketing, encouraging fans to circulate the artwork in pursuit of the most ludicrous caption invoking the "good old days," relative star-power, women drivers, erectile dysfunction, the film's box-office prognosis... you get the idea. For our part, we're happy to play along, and we hope you will, too — it's the only thing really sustaining our interest at this point.

Ah, yes, yet another retard posting about shit that he doesen't understand. Stop hating and take the time to find out the facts.
How are you going to explain that the movie runs 123 minutes now, bitch? Come on, I am waiting for that humorous explanation.

Seriously, check your facts. Also, your post had no point. Most people I know are very much looking forward to this movie. Maybe you should check it out before repeating unsubstantiated gossip.

This picture makes me think that the new Indy combines winning formulas from the first three:
Harrison Ford and Karen Allen (Raiders)
Indy with an irascible young side kick (Temple of Doom)
An Oldster comically undertaking an adventure (Last Crusade)

BAH! Ignore me...I go top-down on the stories when I log on. I'm behind the times. Next!

It can be as long as it wants (movie, not the 'zuke). My butt's going in the theatre.
Mark, what's with this?

I was very surprised and disappointed at the obviousness of the CGI, in the trailer.
Also, beginning with Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg's movies take themselves way way too seriously and lack the freshness and nimble camerawork of his work from Schindler's List and before. I may be in the minority here, but I have a feeling the new Indy movie will disappoint many.

@CourageousCoward: Harrison: Shut up and meet me in my pop-out for some "conceptualizing" before I actually fire this mofo in the next scene.

Which one of the Muppets does Karen Allen resemble most in this still? I say Fozzy Bear with a posture that reeks of Kermit's influence...

Shia: Hey, Harrison, would you mind pointing your 'rocket launcher' away from me?! I know it's 70 years old, but I'd rather not risk taking a blast to the face. Thanks.
(This is "A Call to the Bullpen", right?)

Looks like a scene from Star Wars Episode 7: Dusty Termites

@SanFranBetsu: Not true - Karen Allen will drink you under the table to prove it - then she'll take your Nepalese lunch money and stumble away laughing.

Wow...will Indy quote Charlemagne while he kicks some female terminator ass in the bathroom?

And, Karen Allen is just sad.

Is that a rocket launcher in your hands or are you just happy to see me?

@SanFranBetsu: Wrong. If the studios had any idea how popular Karen Allen was with the fans she'd have had steady, prominent work for the last two decades. Also: she's like a yogi and raw vegan or something. She's twenty years younger than Shia with all that clean living!
