He's right, and I'm glad he's saying this, but I'm just not sure why he's saying it now.

This was my problem with the alien angle as well. There were plenty of ways they could have went with a more pulpy sci-fi approach to the alien stuff and still found a way to make it work, but instead they went for a modern day 'realistic' approach.

Also, the fun just wasn't there. 90% of the movie just felt too depressing and lifeless for an Indy film. The only time the movie was alive for me was in the warehouse scene.

I didn't have a problem with his performance either. IT was the lame ending with the flying saucers that pissed most people off. A 20 year wait and this is the best script you can come up with? Just awful.

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is a masterpiece for the ages. People will be enjoying that one long after Spielberg and Lucas are dead and buried and Indiana Jones has been long forgotten. And besides, it's a true story, didn't y' know? As Criswell so eloquently put it, "Can you prove it didn't happen?"

Probably because he's just seen the script to Indy V (Scene One: The Death of Mutt...).

Wow, I have thought, and occasionally said the same thing for the past decade. Unfortunately he is getting older as well......

I thought River Pheonix was great in the last crusade as a young Indy, and I would have liked to see an actor of his caliber to have played Mutt. Shia just never came off to me like the son of Indiana Jones.

I really don't have a problem with Shia in general, but I do think he is getting more attention in Hollywood than he probably deserves.

Re: Shia trashes Indy IV
 

Hmmm, I just don't see it.

Fuckin' A

Yeah, it was made by a liberal transvestite! :sarcasm:

Re: Shia trashes Indy IV
 

I agree. As much as I LOVE the Indy character. Indy 4 should've not been made. Especially w/ how SS talked about it was a very old school film. It wasn't. When I think Indy I think dangerous stunts that are done for real. Bare minimum CGI etc. And a pretty dang cool story. Indy IV didn't have that. It just felt rushed.

Raiders-Was amazing
Temple-Was pretty damn good too, too dark for some and that may have polerized them
Crusade-Was good too...maybe a bit TOO much humor but it was good. (This is my fav cuz I grew up w/ it but I know Raiders is the best one)

for once Shia tells it like it is. :lol:

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-noooooo!

If it was Martin Scorsese, I could take it seriously. But this douche!?

He's obviously doing this to win some new fans. Unfortunately, I judge actors based on one thing only, their performances.

If he felt so strongly about this that he had to make a public statement, he should have given the check back, too. I might have respected that.
