Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [spoilers]

[coyote6]

Actually... Apparently not so modern.

[sblock]Some of my friends who are far more into pulp than I am have assured me that the notion of "extradimensional" visitors has its roots in pulp as well. While it wasn't that common in the 50s--most of the aliens of the time were interplanetary--it was pretty common in earlier years of pulp sci-fi.[/sblock]

Yeah, I just saw a comment to that effect on Erik Mona's blog, and he knows way more about the pulps than I do.

Heh. Erik was actually my main source on that comment as well.

The movie was flawed on a number of levels and it didn't stand on it's own - the relationship in the movie? Doesn't work on it's own, there's no chemistry, no heat.

Anyway. I give it a 5. It had it's moments, but that's about it.

Guys...seriously. This is one of the bigger spoilers for the movie. The female lead is intentionally not shown in the previews for the movie. The female lead does not appear until a reveal in the movie. Who the younger lead is the child of is also saved for a reveal. These are spoilers. Either hide the spoilers in the tag, or wait until more people have seen the movie. Be polite. Just because you know this information, or recognize the significance of an actor name in credits or something, doesn't mean most people do.

*shrug*

Sorry, d00d. This has been so widely reported in a number of mainstream newspapers - multiple papers in just my area alone (hell, I haven't even seen the movie yet, and don't read silly entertainment/fan sites) that this is simply not a spoiler.

Just because you don't know something widely reported, doesn't mean most people don't.

I haven't seen the movie, yet, but I assume you are referring to

Spoiler

Marion Ravenwood

, right? I've seen her in the TV commercials. I had no idea that her introduction is supposed to be a surprise in the film.

Granted, I knew about her from early reporting of the film, but I do hate when trailers do stuff like that. I've even seen trailers where they show the villain's death!

She was supposed to be a surprise at first, but Lucas apparently changed his mind and said she was in the film at Comiccon last year. She hasn't really been a surprise since then.

And doesn't she also show up on some of the promotional posters?

 

[Fast Learner]

She has been in preview trailers. Least. Spoiler. Evar.

Actually, I'd say that Palpatine turning out to be the Emperor in Revenge of the Sith is probably the "least spoiler ever". I mean, even if we didn't know that for 20 yrs, the guy was practically Simon from the "Pit of Ultimate Darkness" sketches on Kids in the Hall. I half expected him to end every sentence by pointing to himself and yelling, "Evil! Evil!"

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Nah, Anakin becoming Darth Vader is the "least spoiler ever"

 

[Silver Moon]

Anakin.....becomes Darth Vader? Damn, now watching that movie won't be any fun for me at all!!
