I had the toys, too! We have something in common.

I was soooo disappointed when the movie version bombed. What a horrible movie!

Criddic, it's a very different story if you had the He-Man figurines.

I was just making the point that I grew up in the 1980's, too. Half of my childhood was the 1980s. Come to think of it, just about all of my childhood was that decade. I was a teenager in the 1990s.

A still from the film in Empire magazine shows her looking quite overweight.

Oscarguy, the theme for the Superman movie still excites me when it plays and was one of the best things about the Bryan Singer version.

Considering the trailer, I'm not all that excited. The least they could have done was remaster the theme so that it sounded new, not like some hack reject from the '80s. The theme is one of the classics, but it doesn't have the same feel as the star wars theme did when the new SW movies came out...and it should. I should be excited when I hear the theme, but I'm not.

Temple of Doom sounds kind of ridiculous if you think about.

I'm actually getting kind of used to the title. It's not really that bad. Hope the movie is good.

I can't wait! Love Indy! Cate Blanchett looks fucking bad-ass, too.

Well, Spielberg did produce Transformers after all, lol.

That being said, I think this looks like a good movie.

Shat on a Republican.

And speaking of balls, this bad Indiana Jones title is still second to the all time worst: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu.

Hey, we should start a thread for worst titles ever. Unless you guys already did that before I came to this board OVER ONE YEAR AGO (my god! How have I been around you people this long??) -- in which case I'll just go shit my balls on a Republican instead.

indy was not this agile when he was in his forties, but it looks particularly ridiculous with him pushing 90 (or however old harrison ford is).

cate blanchett is a goddess! i love her playing a villain. will probably be the only reason i even see the movie.
