I'm guessing "Dial" doesn't have any particular meaning like the rumors of time travel. They show a young Indy so to remind him of what he once was. They go into time travel mode, and that might be on par with the alien in 4 LOL.

Could be the face on his new 60s wristwatch and his chuffed to bits coz it's got a bezel on it.

The subtitle clearly ties into the Dial Soap product placement. We all know how hard it is to get an 80 year old to take a shower.

Or, maybe, I say maybe, he meets that old actor - Valentine Dial? Just another thought. And no more wrongerer than some others.

I hope there's no science fiction stuff. Indiana should be hunting some treasure in a boobytrapped temple within a lost city somewhere, with some baddies also after it. I don't think it's that hard to get right.

Prepare to be disappointed. Rumors of time travel have been reported for over a year.

That, and the fact that in the scenes shit in Glasgow, Ford was seen carrying a gold clock. Now that could be just a retirement gift but…..

So that's in the past, so maybe he goes into the future.

You say that but…. Crystal Skull had both a booby trapped temple (in Peru) and a hidden city (Akator) and that film was a steaming pile of dog turd.

I was watching Mr Plinkett's review on Indy 4. It was Lucas' idea with the alien, and he even wanted the story in 3 to take place in a haunted house LOL. Spielberg turned it down, but in 4 I'm guessing he just didn't care anymore. There's footage of Lucas even saying so. WTH! eek

Crystal Skull was awful and Ford was already to old for the role but I really didn't have a problem with the premise of having aliens in the film. It's different but still fits the esthetics of the 40's and 50's serial vibe. How many religious treasures or ancient artifacts can Indie go after before it becomes boring? Anything after the Ark is really a let down to be honest.

The Last Crusade still worked for me, a mythical artifact,
The alien thing, it just became goofy in Crystal, it was a lot of build up for a 'who cares" in the end for me.
On top of that the entire look of the picture was smeary and ugly.
It is quite probably the ugliest film Spielberg has ever made.

Absolutely, all valid criticisms. I just think aliens could’ve work especially if it was more like X-Files.

When did Lucas and Spielberg team up on the Indy movies, or have they always been together?

There's no way of finding out. It's a complete mystery.

If they do go the time travel, it'll suck. If young Indy is killed and is wiped out of time and PWB takes over for the iconic scenes, I'll hate it. When the only person associated with the creative side of the original films is the composer, I don't consider it official. Honestly, this film is as necessary as elective surgery. So disowning this movie if I hate it is easy peasy.

If neither of those things happen, I'll probably be okay with it. Regardless, none of what happens will erase my 4k discs of the originals.

As for the shooting scene, I enjoyed it because it's classic Indy and I have no idea what's next. Has anyone considered they may be shooting PAST Indy for a reason? We'll find out when it's released.

The aliens in Crystal Skull? No problem with them. It was a solid B movie on an A budget, exactly like it was supposed to be. I just hated the fridge bit and Mutt swinging on vines with CGI monkeys.

Man, I've never seen so many people so assured of a stupid movie before there they have seen it. Yet they insist to see it and if it does this or does that they would hate it. What if it does none of that but is still a bad movie? What if it does none of that but is a good movie? What if it does all of that but ends up pleasantly surprising you because the version you made it in your head was created by people driven by you clicking their incessant negativity articles?

Yep, so true. Members are battling each other on the other side of the board based upon a very short trailer.
Why not view a movie before critiquing it? Or don't see it and don't critique it.
