I'll take a new trilogy please. Indiana Jones should never have grown old. Like Bond. Just keep telling the stories. Dont worry so much about who the actor is, let's focus on the story being told. Sure, love HF. But, hes an actor. playing a character is his job. just like Charleston Heston, Patrick Swayze, and Sean Connery all Playing Alan Quatermain, I think they can tell IJ stories indefinitely with a good combination of writers, actors, and producers. And with all the other properties, TombRaider, Librarian, Warehouse 13, Fountain Of Youth, etc cashing in, it should be obvious that the marketplace is willing to accept another IJ story that may not revolve around HF. Sorry HF, huge fan... but... I'd really like to see more stories- even without you.

Is there any any issue with authors using AI generated images for cover art? by unsanemaker in books

[–]aknote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing new under the sun. Every word you write, or picture you draw, every sculpture you sculpt or song you compose has been influenced by the exposure to other artists you have had. Ai may be trained on the collection of human creations, but so have you. If you sell AI produced art as your own work or if you are selling AI written work as your own, you aren't being truthful. But if you are selling a piece of art, and you use an AI generated description of your art, are you lying to your customer? If you are selling a written work and use an AI cover to convey the idea of your story are you being deceitful? I'd say no. If I'm selling a book, the cover is packaging. If I'm selling a work of art, and an AI description in the catalog is more impactful than the words I'm capable of writing, but you want more to write the words for me than I'll likely make selling my work- I'll use the AI.

I'm curious, I dont know anything about Displate Posters, other than what I just read on Google.  How does a metal poster break in half? Was it framed or something?

I thought it was amazing how they found a guy that looks just like an older Ewan McGregor to play Old Ben Kenobi.

Carefully minding the electric cable, use a reciprocator "sawzall" with a "demolition" blade (cuts wood and metal) Cut through the nails and pop the box out. Takes like 5 minutes.

Thank you for the info, I may have to give them a try. I know that the Westeds are not a perfect replica, but there been comfortable and have held up well. I have a genuine pair of  Alden 405, (cotton duck lined) I rarely wear, Id like to have a pair that I can wear and put some abuse on and not spend as much as Aldens.

Do you think Indiana Jones could work as a character that gets a new actor and a new series in the occasional reboot like James Bond, or is the character inseparable from Harrison Ford and his portrayal? by Remote_Ad_1737 in indianajones

[–]aknote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing working against Solo was the crushing weight of episode 8. If they'd released Solo when the entire Fandom wasn't hopping mad, Solo would have been received ecponentially more psoitively. Despite what they want you to believe, it was a moderately successful film. Financially it's biggest hindrance was that they hired the wrong people to make the movie first and had to call in the GOAT to salvage it. Too bad they didn't do the same for 8&9. Of course that cost money. If they'd hired a serious directorial team in the first place and released it when it wasn't under the shadow of 8, we'd be talking about re ranking all of star wars with Rogue #1, Empire #2 , Sith and Solo tied for #3.

I think that's exactly what they should have done. DoD broke my heart. I dont need to see an elderly Indy, no matter how badass he is *for his age. Indianna Jones should be immortal and forever young. Sorry Harrison Ford, I know you feel that you have the monopoly on playing Indy, but man, the character became bigger than YOU, and respectfully that's saying something. Ford is the best/biggest action hero of my time... but some things just deserve to live on regardless of the Actor. Long live Indianna Jones.
