Will the Nazis support Trump-like policy and be a piss-poor stand in for Trump supporters, like in every Hollyweird piece of shit since 2016?
You know it
Inb4 make space great again
So, he's going to be trying to sabotage NASA and Goddard? JPL?
Where'd those damn paperclips go ...
I strongly suspect that this article is more likely the basis of the new movie.
Sounds like it's going to be just as classic as Nightboat.
Fighting nazis in the 60s
Yknow.. like real life
This is indiana Jones not fucking wolfenstein
Should be fighting the soviets, but they won't portray communism in a bad light.
The latest Jack Ryan season made Venezuela's Nicholas Maduro into a... nationalist.
Mainstream is doing that a lot lately, in news, TV, comics, movies, etc.. If any bad group is communist or socialist, they're calling them "nationalists" now.
So communists who didn't dream big enough to expand their communism to the whole world... were nationists.
Wow.
they were... national... socialists?
I guess in the history of the world there are no other villains to use.
I liked Wolfenstein...
Harrison Ford is nearly 80 years old. Give it up.
The day he landed on on a taxiway that should have been it.
And yes, he actually did that, narrowly missed hitting a 737.
Ugh. Is he going to die and pass the torch to a much better woman?
Yeah, after being emasculated throughout the film. Emphasis on him being old and obsolete. I don't know why Ford would volunteer for this crap.
He volunteered for The Force Awakens, which did the same thing to Han Solo.
He had long been open about his lack of attachment to the character and believing he was "finished" as a character in New Hope. So at least in that case it was probably a solid paycheck and a final "I'm not gonna be called again for this."
Yeah... but doing it twice is too much.
In a world where they put story first, they would have some scenes where Indy's age is catching up with him. However, they'd also have scenes where Indy's experience and old-fashioned ways do the trick while the new way doesn't work so well.
One scene I'd like would have to be set up earlier. At some point, Indy's protégé is established as an expert martial artist. At some point in their adventure, an enemy martial artist appears and it looks like they're going to have an epic kung fu battle. However, there's a ticking clock, so Indy just shots the guy, throws out a one-liner, and they keep on moving.
The other things they'd need to do is show Indy's changing priorities. A life of globetrotting adventure was great when he was younger (and is good for his young protégé), but now he wants to spend more time with the woman in his life and any children he might have.
"Guys, I have an idea. Lets take the book Moonraker and make it absolute ass!"
Plot: Indiana Ford loses his sense of awareness, shoots the woman he is trying to rescue, and helps the Nazi's escape from the Americans.
I'm still banking on Indy getting shanked on a rope bridge before the final act.
Just a continuation of Hollywood jews attacking NASA because of their hatred for von Braun. First there was Stanley Kubrick starting the rumor that he faked the moon landings, increasing his accomplishments and belittling NASA's. Then there was Hidden Figures, which made a black (lol) woman (lol) out be the most important person in the Apollo program. Then First Man tried to make the NASA moon landing an international thing instead of the very national program that it was. I'm sure there are a lot more incidents out side of movies, too.
Fuck Hollywood, and fuck anyone who supports them.
I expected Indiana Jones 5 to be about him escaping a retirement home. Instead of fleeing a boulder, he would be rolling his wheelchair away from the nurse trying to give him his meds.
The movie you’re looking for is Bubba Ho-Tep.
They tried to pass the torch in the last one, but having Shia as a replacement wasn't something anyone wanted. How much you want to bet that he'll now have an illegitimate daughter pop up out of the woodwork in this installment, so he can pass the whip on to her instead?
Having another kid pop up might be too much. I'd believe them giving him a young female research assistant or something though.
Sadly, I could see them doing that, but she'd also have to "out-Indy" Indy. She'd prove to be better at archaeology, physicality, and one-liners by showing up his old ass at every turn, and by the end of the movie he'd either turn over the hat and whip to her, or at some point during the film he straight-up dies and she takes them up herself to finish out the adventure. Wouldn't put it past Woke Hollywood to do so, considering how much they cocked-up the sequel trilogy for Star Wars.
What'd give more bonus points: Chinese exchange student or Soviet exchange student?
Black Soviet Muslim from Khazakhstan or something. Who is descended from Ghengis Khan.
I don't know how well the research has aged, but there was 2003 study that indicated that 16 million men worldwide were descended from Genghis Khan. That would indicate that about 1 in 200 people are his descendent, so it wouldn't be that farfetched. However, her knowing it in the `960s would be.
Yeah, but those humans are all CHINESE, or have one in their ancestry that isn't Ghengis Khan himself.
In fact, what I remember of reading about that at the time, was that it wasn't so many "men", but CHINESE men specifically.
Granted, chinks have crossbred like everyone else since then, but as far as Canada goes, I think it was mostly the ones who got stranded here after the gold rush/CPR didn't pan out for them; the more recent ones with options seem to tend to breed with their own kind.
Which is what I was alluding to, to give 'em the definite chinky linky for the CCP fans.
Indiana Jones working for the KGB.
My dad had a friend who got to meet van Braun.
Is that the "let us put ladies on the moon, because those godless soviets would never do that because it's fucking stupid" series? Is it actually not woke? I assumed it was woke because of the entire premise but I've watched the Sea Dragon scene like a hundred times.
There is a valid reason to use woman, though. Rocket fuel's expensive and women are both shorter and weigh less. The result of using an all woman crew is you can get the same bang for fewer bucks.
Of course, in the real world, human nature prevented it from happening. If it was bad when a man died in a rocket launch gone bad, a woman dying would have been intolerable.
But the Soviets DID beat the Americans with the "first woman" shit. They had the first woman in space. Sally Ride was just the first AMERICAN woman in space.
For that matter, the Soviets put the FIRST EARTHLING in space, and that EARTHLING was not human, and not even a primate.
If people in the 1960s would have been upset by a woman blowing up on a rocket, it would have been because of that sexist old mindset that men are expendable, that only males make up "excess" population of a species.
I specifically said "on the moon." With Apollo era technology you can't politicize the decision; you pick the best or you leave a new crater on the moon.
Uh, okay. Are you lost?
Note I wrote "moon landing." I'll admit I didn't know the Soviet lady thing, but I'm gonna assume like Gagarin she was more cargo than pilot, and the Apollo moon landings are probably the hardest thing any humans have ever done, and picking the astronauts based on demographics and especially on a demographic that has on average worse everything needed to land on the moon is fucking stupid.
If I wasn't open to the idea that it wasn't as woke as I had assumed would I have asked your opinion, which by the way I am regretting because you are a fucking turd.
