Hey SD, I saw the bison pic. So you've been to Custer State Park ? How big was the herd you saw ? How many bisons altogether in the park ? Any pronghorns pics ?
What does "Meh meh" means ? How was Indy 4 ? French Canadian channel specified he's figthing against the USSR of Stalin, dos spielbers make this clear in the flick? Still that's not enough to change enough the historical background to me to make it credible, because I assume it's about world domination as usual. Oh well Speilberg had to deal with the wrinkles of his actors I assume, otherwise he would have stick to the Nazis.
Well I'm soft to stick up for Russians since all my friends back in Nanaimo are proud Russians and don't recognize the Russian flag and only the Soviet Flag as "their Russia" even though half are conservatives and one is a social democrat in his words 'I remember standing in line as a kid' lol (he's a save the world type). Anyway so I don't usually like films mocking people. (Although the Nazi story line should have extremely never bothered me, since they were pretty much mocking my family during the war, before the war, etc) anyway
They make it clear that Blanchette's character is 'Stalin's favourite' and she's looking for knowledge to give her all the power in the world so they can win the war etc i.e. world domination *yawn*. The movie tries to mock the McCarthy era with Indy being chased by KGB people (again stereotypical my best friend's dad was a Col. in the KGB) during a 'Anti-Communist' march on campus. Then people get black listed during the film (the whole script is rushed, it seems this could have been good but they didn't really try to make it historical). There's the atomic bomb which makes a cameo. The plot is just a mess. My favourite movie out of the triology is the third, which is mainly due to Connery. Connery is not in this film. The movie just seems rushed for example we never get Indy's opinion on the times, he just tells the FBI folks they're crazy and then the Soviet guys he just doesn't like, thinks they're crazy. His political opinion is missing although a famous character switches sides during the film and he feels betrayed wonders why he'd join them, the double agent says because of money, but Indy never truly hates him or gets mad at him.
-rushed scripted
- no real plot
- rushed through the political part of the film
- Indy doesn't make a political stand or we don't get his opinion other then a few seconds
- Shia is the most annoying actor in the history of movies
ADD:
Custer Park there was about 15-20 in a herd that I saw but they were far off in the distance away from the road in the Wildlife/Wilderness Rd. (which didn't have much wildlife. There were two Bison hanging out at the enterance to the park. To be honest I saw more wildlife on the road between the National Forest and the Park then the park itself. That's where the wild donkeys were hanging around and then on my way out of the Black Hills I ran into Bison blocking the road. (that's where the close ups come from). Saw an Antelope and that's it.
