Jurassic Park isn’t far behind though.
For the love of God please stop making poor old Harrison Ford pretend to be a 40 year old treasure hunter.
Nobody wants to watch “Indiana Jones and the Non ADA Compliant Ramp Outside the Post Office”
I still don’t understand why Indiana Jones wasn’t made into a sort of James Bond legacy character
Like the movies are my problematic favs - yes, I know they’re steeped in racism but also it’s fun to see Nazis get decked and all - but there’s something depressing about the latest movie being mostly about Jones being old, decrepit, and cranky. It loses a lot of its charm that way
Especially considering he literally has a young protege in a bunch of the movies, the passing of the torch writes itself.
Unless they’re just really committing to the bit and soon they’re gonna have a movie where Ford is the ancient mcguffin a new younger adventurer has to find a “rescue”/steal.
Somehow the idea that Indiana Jones is a character and not Punch People Action Guy and he must be played by Harrison Ford is so absurd. He is a hat, a jacket, a whip, exciting danger and punching. Harrison Ford wasn’t even the first guy to play Indiana Jones from a thematic standpoint. They were ripping off old adventure serials which starred that exact archetype.
a sort of James Bond legacy character
For some reason Hollywood completely forgot that you’re allowed to re-cast roles and put new actors in them. I suppose you could see it as a reflection of the generational dynamics in the whole country - boomers clinging to what they got and refusing to yield anything to the younger generation until they’re absolutely forced to.
The racism and misogyny are fucking hard to sit through as an adult, i rewatched the first one recently ang omg. The love subplot is Indi slept with a 16 year old and she falls in love with him.

i think people should be generally more aware and passionate about ADA compliance
Everybody always forgets you need the donkey dick past the last step at the top and bottom.
Hollywood is doing the creative equivalent of mountaintop blasting. Nothing will be left of anyone’s childhood except a blasted heath of slow piano covers of beloved theme songs.
If there’s one franchise that needs a reboot, it’s USSR
Bustin’ feels good though
I’d put jurassic park first. At least Ghostbusters are solving an external conflict. At this point any jurassic park movie should just be 40 minutes of somebody trying to convince an investor a park where you have live dinosaurs won’t have the exact same incredibly predictable problems they’ve immediatly encountered the last 6 times they did this exact thing.
Ok park or island with the intention to turn it into a park except it goes wrong in exactly the same way before they get that far.
They were never going to turn an island with dinos into a park. Isla Sorna was where they bred and raised the dinos before shipping em to jurassic park and the dino island in the world movies is where the park was after it was destroyed in j-world 1
You could do one where there is a park that is successful but gets bought out by some VC asshole who cuts corners and ruins the place? Although that’s kinda what happened in Jurassic World so nevermind. No more Jurassic Park.
That’s literally the first movie. Hammond was the vc asshole who spared literally every expense possible.
That’s why there was the shot in the helicopter of him having to tie the seat belts together because they didn’t even do that right. (Also the two female ends working as a “life finds a way” reference)
That’s what I’m saying they pretty well flushed out the concept in the first one, every subsequent movie should be somebody telling them “no you fucking idiot” and then being thrown in jail.
Instead we’re on like film 8 of the same shit happening.
Kind of like star wars and their 4th movie where the theme is “giant space based weapon with a weak spot exploitable by somebody sufficiently quirky”
