Indiana Jones and The Bathwater of Belle

A 100-year old Indiana who can barely move is called on for one last time when he must find a crucial piece of computer code hidden inside a virtual world he must 'jack' himself into. The entire movie will be CGI and Harrison Ford can just provide the voice for Indiana this time.

Interesting how Apple demanded that Ransom not be given an iPhone under that rule but are perfectly fine with Jacob, the alt-right/Nazi troll, flashing his iPhone in every scene. :thunk:

Anyway, as silly as it is, I thought this was standard practice. Didn't GM at one point only allow their cars to be used in film if only good guys use them which caused the bad guys to all drive Fords (or maybe it was the other way around)?

Somehow he managed to get Lamborghini and Mercedes to make their live action Transformers debut as villains, although they both appear in later movies as Autobot characters too.

I am still freaked out but also amused that Starscream, an F22, is officially licensed by Lockheed-Martin. However, it seems they might have an issue with Boeing because while Blitzwing is a Phantom in Bumblebee, his official toy looks nothing like one.

Could be that toy rights are a separate thing to negotiate from movie appearance rights, (similar to the likeness rights for actors) and/or the toy designers don't really give a poo poo about accuracy when it comes to fiddly things like planes.

The movie version of Barricade became so popular it completely overshadowed the original 1980s version of the character, which even most hardcore Transformers fan barely care about.

They did manage to make a fairly accurate toy of Shatter, who transforms into a harrier jet, despite her robot mode also having visible car parts (she also transforms into muscle car in the movie although the toy does not).

Pretty much every Transformers character has had at least half a dozen appearances and versions, it makes sense that some stick better than others. The 80s series had probably the biggest cast of any show but most only showed up for like an episode or two; later Transformers shows usually take more cues from Beast Wars and have smaller, more fleshed-out casts.

And point, though depends; maybe they already had a Harrier mould sitting around from a previous toyline. (They also do that a lot)

Apparently Bay got all that in the film by telling them how powerful and violent the Decepticons were, and of course they would want the deadliest machine on earth to transform into.

That's the funny thing that they take "if you drink from the cup of Christ, you will have eternal life" to mean literally staying alive on Earth if you drink from Jesus' personal cup. It's obviously a metaphor saying that if you live as Christ teaches you will live eternally in Heaven.

Though I suppose that's what movies do with most non-Christian religions and their artifacts, so I'm ok with it essentially being magic.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



My favorite was the TV show Monk, and how each season the show wanted to do an ep on a cruise ship. Cruise ship lines were thrilled with the idea at first, but then began requests about toning down how the cruise ship was viewed through Monk's OCD, to eventually asking "Does there have to be a crime aboard the ship?"

I don't remember if it was an official explanation or fan wank but I remember hearing that the reason he and Henry Sr. aren't immortal is that the seal limited its power to only inside the canyon. Not particularly satisfying but whatever.

It's heavily implied by the knight guarding the Grail that the immortality is only given to a person so that they can guard the Grail. Once they try to take the Grail out of there, or abandon the duty of guarding it, they aren't immortal anymore.

But yea none of that is outright said in the movie so it's mostly speculation.

I suppose if you knew the secret going in you might be able to walk across the bridge to the Grail without issue but Jones Sr. believed you needed faith to cross the gap. So in a sense the only people who can reach the Grail are presumably followers of His.

Fun fact a true crime author/researcher told me once. The best place to get away with murder is a cruise ship.

No mountain burial if the cup stays in the temple. I meant that Jones and pals could just go there whenever for a drink. Come to think of it, he still could despite the mountain burial. It's the drat holy Grail, and he knows exactly where it is. If he punched the rocks like he punched Nazis to get there, he'd have recovered the Grail within a week.

edit: "Oh no, this priceless and undeniably magical artifact that proves God's existence is buried. Under rocks! It is truly lost forever!!"

It's the tutorial level for HITMAN 1

I guess technically it's just a yacht party, not a cruise ship, but you can still dress up as the Captain and poison someone's mixed drink
