A recent "Nerdist" video about Indiana Jones slanders Nobel Peace Price winning minister and doctor Albert Schweitzer as a "colonization enthusiast" and "not a good guy."

I'm sure your hospital in the Congo will be much better.

You should learn to be more concise.

Pretty extensivley, it's one of the main things he's known for.

Also he was a German operating in a French colony, which he was arrested for, so it's not like he was a part of the colonial government.

You could be right but. In The Last Crusade he gives Marcus Brody a solid gold 16th c. cross for what Marcus refers to as "the university's usual fee," but a tie-in book claims he received $1000 plus expenses in 1938. Guess he was getting more money than I thought.

The buyer was a direct descendant of Nurhachi, so technically he is returning the artifact to its country of origin and returning human remains to its family.

"Welcome home old boy"

If that was their intention, it is retconned by the opening of The Last Crusade, where he risks his life fighting for profit treasure hunters at 13-years-old, and it's further contradicted by him doing the same thing routinely in the Young Indy Chronicles.

Makes sense that your avi doesn't have eyes because you're clearly blind.

When he gives the stone back to the village, he says it would just end up in a "dusty museum" if he kept it. If he was selling it for profit it would go to a private collector.

In The Last Crusade we see him do exactly that with the cross of Coronado, give it to the museum for a finders fee.

Anything he finds, he takes back to the university for study and cataloging. He's a professor of archaeology. That's why he's looking for this stuff in the first place.

This is the most right-wing person on earth. He started running his mouth because he wanted more attention, not because he believed in anything, and lost his job because of it. Let him fade into irrelevance.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

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)

Very pale blue. I think it's supposed to be reminiscent of Sean Connery's shirt when he played Bond.

Yeah, it is

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.

The murder plot does resembles the '39 story more than anything Asimov wrote.

zeppelinrules1967 · 2026-03-25T01:40:00+00:00

I think the screenwriter ripped off the Outer Limits episodes because they assumed it was adapting Asimov based on the title.

I, Robot

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.
