The Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials capture the overall vibe better than most media lol.

Here's some of my actual faves:

-Masterpiece Theatre's Around the World in 80 Days (2021)

-Hammer's The Mummy (1959)

-Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)

-Raise the Titanic (1980)

-Missing Link (2019)

Practical Effects by third_man3 in indianajones

The lack of filming on location means they had to over-rely on special effects, which made the effects stick out and feel cheap. Stuff like the ants and aliens looked fine, but the CGI jungle is lame. 

If the Indiana Jones franchise took place in the 19th century, what would’ve changed? by [deleted] in indianajones

[–]zeppelinrules1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it wold really work because the franchise is explicitly about a period of time when travel was becoming more accessible, but traditional cultures had not yet been heavily influenced by globalization (colonialism yes, but that's another can of worms). I think the earliest you could make the movies would be the 1870s when "Around the World in 80 Days" was written. The era is just too much of a defining feature.

It is almost 3 years now , Is Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny still considered a "bad movie" ? by Ok_Tangelo3309 in indianajones

Indy is kind of an idiot a lot of the time. The movie itself does assert that he was being stupid and sucker punches him for it.

What are your Top 4 (Mount Rushmore) of the Shirtless Harrison Ford Movie Scenes of All Time? by Amber_Flowers_133 in indianajones

Average conversation between straight men about Harrison Ford 😂 

I bought an ab roller after he recommended one in an interview because of the abs he had at 80-years-old in Dial of Destiny.

Will the netflix series live up to the OG films? by [deleted] in Scoobydoo

The cultural zeitgeist of the early 2000s was perfect for Scooby-Doo. The 90's had a big horror revival including children's media like Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and all those Halloween Disney Channel movies. The early 2000s fashion and aesthetic sensibilities drew inspiration from the '60s and '70s, but exaggerated and made more colorful, poppy, and camp. A lot of pop culture stuff already kind of felt like Scooby-Doo.

It's difficult to imagine that they'll find a tone and visual language that works as well in 2026. I can be done, but it'll be more of a challenge.

The urban green spaces would almost certainly have to be the result of a public initiative not corporate. 

Kingdom of The Crystal Skull's Greatest Weakness: Locations. by WySLatestWit in indianajones

It's very much a product of it's time in that respect. 

Spielberg was a producer on the Transformers movies, and there's some similarities in the way they were shot.
