Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Fun with Polls Movie Poll

Okay quick poll nothing to do with Lois & Clark but I'm SO excited about a couple of movies coming out this month and they couldn’t be completely different and they are Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the other Sex and the City I have my tickets booked for both and can not wait.

I soooooo want to see IJ. I love George Lucas (obviously by my avatar) and have always considered the other IJs classics! Whenever my hubby takes me camping, I always tell him I'm not doing any Temple of Doom stuff! In other words, you better make sure it's not a very insecty area and we have real food to eat, no monkey brains or baby snakes. Ha!

I never watched Sex in the City when it was on tv so I'm not really interested in the movie at all.

I'm not ecstatic, but I'm fairly keen to see the new IJ movie. I had no interest in the TV show of SITC, so the movie does nothing for me.

I saw TOD at the weekend for the first time in years and was amazed how irritating I found it. I loved it when it came out. But this time our heroine just drove me batty and I kept wanting to slap her.

Raiders stood the test of time though when the Beeb showed it last week. Still a classic and enormous fun.

Next week, they show Crusade - I'm interested to see which side it comes down on so many years later.

This one's my favorite - we've been doing a little mini-marathon at my house, watching the trilogy before the new one comes out. I absolutely adore the father/son relationship between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford. I still love Raiders too. Never ever liked Temple of Doom - I've probably seen it 3-4 times in my life, which is 3-4 times too many, in my opinion.

Never watched Sex in the City, so have no interest in that. We are looking forward to Prince Caspian this weekend.

I'm not looking forward to either movie. They both hold little interest for me. I'm much more excited about Prince Caspian next month, The Dark Knight in August and then the new Harry Potter at the end of the year.

I always liked TOD the best as a kid but I haven't watched it recently. I do remember being pretty annoyed with the heroine... what was her name...Bobby? Billy? I get the feeling it was a boy's name for some reason. I think I enjoyed it as a kid because of all the gore (insects - yes that's gore to me!, taking the heart out, drinking the blood, monkey brains, etc). <me thinks I should rewatch all of them before the new one comes out too>

Willie. Which was another reason to dislike her.

It wasn't just her, though, if I'm honest. TOD lacked the depth and character focus of Raiders, I think. It was just over the top and some of the acting was too hammy for words and made me cringe. I really can't imagine now why I enjoyed it when it came out. I hate when that happens. :p

And, yes, biggest movie excitement for me this year is definitely Prince Caspian - can't wait!

I'm really looking forward to SITC as I love the TV show, but what takes priority is that Narnia is coming out! I hope we firm up some plans to see it tonight.

As I'm checking the replies I am at this very moment watching Last Crusade I love this film. My younger brother and i have also watched The temple of Doom as he was home ill from school. He is actually the reason i'm so excited about this film as i think i was the same age as he is now (10) when Crusade came out i have our tickets booked and great seat last row dead centre. I also watched the last season of Sex and the City yesterday (I,m on holiday for a week). I don't expect manny people to be excited about both films. I did this poll because I was surprised by my own excitement over two complety different films. But then my own DVD collection has a wide range from Disney fims like Dumbo to horrors like Halloween and the omen.

Annoying questionS for you Indiana fans.

In Temple of Doom when Indy and Willie are in the car that Shorty is driving they pass a bar what was it called?

Which film is chronologically the first.

I'll post the answers on Monday if anyone is interested.

Um... well I really don't know the name of the bar but I'll take a stab at it. Um.. Clark's?

Number 2, I think it starts off with The Last Crusade because Indiana is a young boy at the beginning. Then Raiders?? Then TOD? I'm really just guessing here.

I want to see the Indiana Jones film eventually, though I'll probably wait for the DVD. I'm not really interested in Sex and the City, I never got into the TV series. To be honest, I'm more interested in The Dark Knight, the forthcoming Batman movie, than either of them.

Add to this, I've just seen a poll about people's favorite Indiana Jones films - can't link to it because you need to be a registered user of a commercial site to see it. Out of 330 votes so far they got

Raiders - 63%
Temple of Doom - 5%
Last Crusade - 22%
Young IJ chronicles (TV series) - 3%

with the other 5% split between various silly alternatives and don't know.

I think one reason why I'm happy to wait for the DVD may be a slight worry that Crystal Skull will be another turkey like Temple of Doom.

I'm not a fan of Sex and the City at all, but I am a HUGE Indiana Jones fan and I cannot wait for the new movie. I'm sooooooo excited. *bounces*

Midnight show, here I come!

It's definitely Indiana Jones for me.

Lucas says there is a good chance for an Indy 5, except it'll be Indy's son in the principle role with Indy, himself, playing more of a Sean Connery role. Think he'll call Shia, Junior?

Scary to think that Harrison Ford is 65, especially since I watched the Indy movies first run. Ugh, I think I'm getting old.

Definitely Indy for me. I was worried that they were going to screw it up, but Flick Filosopher posted last night and said "they didn't f*** it up" so now I'm really looking forward to it.

Definitely "Sex and the City." I rarely have time to go to the movies, but I have already made plans with two of my friends to go see it on opening day. I own all of the DVDs so I am sooo excited.

I'm definitely a chick-flicker ... <hides from her twin and her little sis> I've never even seen the original "Indiana Jones."

<pulls twin out of hiding spot, ties to chair, and duct tapes mouth & eyelids open... starts playing all Indiana Jones>

Shame! Shame!

okay for anyone interested

No star wars fans then? The Bar or Club is Club Obi Wan. I didn't notice this until the new star wars films came out (Which got me hooked on to the originals)

Temple of Doom is a prequel to Raiders as it is set before WWII then raiders with crusade having a prequel at the begining.

Hey! <stamps foot> Biggest fan ever here. Ha! I never noticed Club Obi-wan in ToD. That's awesome. George is so funny.

Speaking of Star Wars... I saw the trailer for the new one and it's animated. Any particular reason for that? <looks at Steph>

I'm not at all interested in SITC, but I'm waiting for Indiana Jones. However, it's not the movie I'm most looking forward to. Right now, that's The Dork, er, Dark Knight. Iron Man and Prince Caspian are past for me, so I can't anticipate them anymore. This is one busy summer, movie-wise. We're seeing 3 movies this month, 6 in June, 4 in July, and I think 2 in August. Too many movies!

The Clone Wars movie is a sequel, I believe, to the cartoon that ran in Cartoon Network in 5 minute spots, and was between episodes 2 and 3. They're expanding on the popularity of those shorts.

Yup! I doubt George will make another Star Wars that's non-animated. His major Star Wars films are finished... unless he decides to make parts 7, 8, & 9. <begs George > The rest will most likely be filling in the blanks. Though I had heard he may make some sort of series (not major motion pictures though) on the Young Jedi Knights (Han & Leia's kids). He did something like this back after Return of the Jedi first came out where he expanded on the Ewok story-line (The Ewok Adventure and Battle for Endor).

Seriously looking forward to IJ, but mostly because of the co-star, Shia LaBeouf. I loved that kid in Even Stevens, he was great in Transformers, and best in Holes.

Also, when Dean Cain showed up at the premeire of IJ, I couldn't stop my brain from wandering into the realm of picturing Dean in the Indian Jones persona. Too bad he was too young at the time.

TEEEEEEEJ
