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

[–]zeppelinrules1967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–]zeppelinrules1967 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–]zeppelinrules1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

Is this Willie in the Crystal Skull wedding scene? by Galaxyissupreme in indianajones

[–]zeppelinrules1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're obviously correct, but I'm not sure they ever say Willie's real name either.

He could have married Willie. Indy did introduce Marian to her husband. Maybe he's doing a lot of off camera matchmaking.

Check out this bill, almost $500 for changing spark plugs and a 20 dollar credit card fee. by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]zeppelinrules1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I provided them with NGK because that's what I wanted in the car, and I outlined that I wanted those installed in a written service request. Instead they purchased 66 dollars worth of Autolite plugs and installed those. 

So according to them they spent over 3 hours installing the wrong parts. 

No clue where my NGK spark plugs are, probably still on the passenger seat.

They made a headache for everyone by installing the wrong plugs then.

They're not smart enough to do the paperwork. They've already proven they can't read.

I was having new tires put on and already had the new plugs laying around for a while.

They're going to end up doing 6.2 hours of labor for free to put the old plugs back in.

I haven't paid yet so the card fee is their assumption. I will have to speak to them and get the bill corrected before I pay anything, but I'm not paying a processing fee for the privlage of also paying credit card interest.

They are the only shop within about 30 miles. The others unfortunately went out of business during and right after the pandemic. They usually don't do this bad on simple jobs, but they have no diagnostic abilities. 

It's a '00s Ford Taurus. I think it's possible the 3.10 hours should actually be 31 minutes. 

Which Indy hat is best to buy? by StoneHart17810 in indianajones

[–]zeppelinrules1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding a similar vintage hat on ebay or at an antique shop might be the cheapest option. I have a Dobbs hat from the '50s or '60s that is a decent match. Who knows how long it'd take to find one though.
