I think it's telling that this was such a huge success.
Do you see how more powerful we are than the legacy news?
We are the news now!
👌👌👌👌
This great can't wait for Hollywood to be comprised of nothing but pillars of salt and sulfur.
That's incredible. I had zero expectations for the box office performance of the film. It's not really the type of movie that people rush out to see, and I figured that the media would've kneecapped the movie because of Caviezel's faith.
To be fair, being more interesting than Indiana Jones and the Fight to Stay Awake is as easy as getting a day older.
Which is what it felt like watching that movie.
Indeed.
I was not surprised at all when the last Indiana Jones movie bombed hard. Warning signs were ringing for months before the movie was released. If it was a surprise to anyone here, then they're probably not paying attention to the culture wars.
Then again, the culture wars is a battlefield that GAW is not very strong in...
It's a pity, as I was a long-time Indiana Jones/Harrison Ford fan. The cheesy, vintage plots were comfy, IMO. My kids don't like those 'old' movies, though. But, they had no problems re-watching the Jason Bourne series, which has a similar hero.
Even the first StarWars would have been insipid without the swashbuckling Han Solo, despite the media pumping of the teenage Skywalker and Leia. I really only was engaged when Solo smirked his way past the authorities. So sad, that they had to wreck that ancient Greek inspired hero-narrative that has worked for thousand of years.
I think resurrecting HF as an old man could have worked, but they should have kept him as the hero. But no, they had to wreck it, and I was not surprised, given the recent Hollywood track-record of rewriting classics, and trying to diminish 'old white men'. It's like as if they have lost their mojo, and are letting wet-behind-the-ears, woke interns write the screenplays. Why have they taken Greek Mythology out of the curriculum?
In any case, when is the Sound of Freedom going to be available to us furreners that don't have access to theatres in the US? Any DVD dates yet?
...and the Dial of Dementia ... and the uber capable feminist who "don't need no man"
This is such a well done film
despite them giving free Indiana Jones tickets to anyone that spent $35 or more at Applebees? XD sorry that damn commercial on Tubi driving me nuts
Tubi is Fox
I did watch “Patriots” on Tubi though
SOF beat out IJ, but they put Caviezel in the 2nd spot in the pic...dbags. Same tactic as "pro-choice/anti-abortion".
