That should definitely be a good thing, in my book. I wouldn't like it if we had a ton of CGI Indy's hopping around doing the stunts.

Well the other indy films had hardly any CGI except for last crusade if i remember



Not like thats the first spielberg shot the other 3 films

I don't think Indy has ever had any "CGI", it's all been traditional SFX.

And yes, well duh really, Spielberg shot the other three films, but as far as the more fundamental decisions are concerned, Lucas calls the shots as executive producer.

I'm pretty sure last crusade had a little bit for the 3rd test "Leap of faith" unless it was more of a visual effect rather then CGI animation.

Visual effects in the old hat sense of the word.

So what does it mean?
It's not like Spielberg hasn't been CGI heavy in virtually all his films since the breakthroughs with Jurrasic Park. Technology was getting pushed along even in the 8-year period the Indy films were being made in; two of those films won Oscars for Visual Effects.
I think all they mean is, there won't be the heavy use of digital sets where actors walk around in bluescreen, while the FX department paints it all in later(aka Star Wars prequels.) Real locations & real sets; I think that's what they mean.
If they use a little CGI here & there to make something look better, they'll do it. No one in the industry - anywhere in the world - is going backwards on VFX tech, and using optical printing tech.

Yeah, I think it's just no blue/green screen.

The absence of CGI and overbearing effects has always been an appeal of the indy series. Though the films have always been rich in special effects, The effects werent a main character in the movies. Atleast for me, i wasnt waiting to see the next big cinematical effects shot while watching the movies. I was always waiting to see what indy would do next.

No CGI is a good thing , it ruined the Star War's prequels due to the heavy use of it. If the original movie's were made 30 year's ago without the use of CGI why make the new ones with CGI. It screws it up and make's it look and feel like two seperate movies.

It is not the CG effects that bother me, it is just the CG landscapes in the PT that takes you right out of the movie. Real Environments like Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor where the actors are physically there hold up over time alot more then the CG landscapes like Kamino, Geonosis, and Mustafar.

Just pop in an old Indy Movie, or an OT movie, and then compare it to a PT movie, and you feel like you are watching a cartoon sometimes with those CG landscapes.

I'm glad they're not using CGI, because that's what makes people able to watch the old Indy movies decades after they've been made. No CGI makes it authentic. It allows the viewers to relate to the characters in a way. Creating elaborate visuals with CGI doesn't do anything for the viewers, because the audience has never experienced anything remotely similar to what's going on and they know it could never happen to them. Also, it distracts from the story. If anything, CGI might inspire awe, but it can never do anything for the story. Seeing a man's rage and hearing the sound as he punches his enemy invokes a lot more catharsis than, say, a giant gorilla ripping a dinosaur's jaw off.

for me, its ok if they did not used CGI..I'm tired of watching CGI films.

All these people b*tching & whining about CGI...

Look at the Indy4 trailer - some CGI is being used in the film.
And here's another newsflash: CGI is NOT going away.
Technology advances forward only - not in reverse. Otherwise, we'd still all be in the era of silent film.
How many films may not have been made, if it wasn't for the breakthrough with CGI in the mid-90's? I'm sure Lord Of The Rings would still be just a dream, as would the Spider Man series - films that wouldn't look nearly as good or convincing without the freedoms granted by new FX tech.

It always amuses me to hear reminiscing about "old-fashioned" special effects. The medium is not a stable form, but in a constant state of evolution. These aren't people in the industry who do that - instead, they get excited by breaking barriers & going forward.

I reakon there will be a little bit of CGi in this 4th one for stuff like when they find the articact and whatever and you see all the mystical energy stuff.

THe explosion in the trailer was CGI. early start.

Becaue he likes film better than video. And there's something to say about that. The two formats are quite different to work with, Spielberg doesn't like to change his style I think. And why should he?

I didn't like the CGI in Indy 4 because it felt out of place.

That bad?

Like I said, I like the other 3 because it was less noticeable and I am a old school Indy fan/Spielburg. If i wanted to see some Lucas's CGI then I would watch Star Wars. Although the parts that were not CGI I think they are great.

That sounds good.

Yeah, I didn't like the CGI. I hoped this film would be like the old ones, that you could watch TLC and KOTCS after eachother, and wouldn't notice the change too much. Indiana Jones is great because it doesn't need CGI to look great and take you on an adventure.

Of course things have changed. But I hoped they wouldn't use that much. But there are some things in the movie that's not classic Indiana Jones. They just had to do it big.

Whenever I am conscious that Im watching CGI, I know theres no threat.

Ergo, no threat in this movie.

hehehe

'Indiana Jones 4 will not be a CGI mess like the Star Wars Prequels'

LOL you of course realise this statement is a blantent lie once you've seen the movie.

Very. And it looked ugly too.

Oh the hideous irony of this thread title.

The horror... the horror...

The stomach wrenching, bowel loosening terror!

Yup... it's loose.

I just clicked back in here to see your response, having forgotten what the thread discussed and it terrified me so badly that I shat all down my leg immediately, when I remembered.

Never remember again.

Ooops. Did it again.... Thats the other leg shat now.

You sound like Britney Spears.

I shave my head too.

Kinky.

Not that head, you filthy minded european. lol

You have hair there???? EEEEWWWWWWWW...

What a vivid imaginiation.

You started it.

And finished It. (Lengthly, but awesome book)

They're remaking it too.

And apparently Tim Curry is gonna be starring as the beast when it takes Pennywise form....but we're gonna see the other guises it took on as well.

A remake? Hmmm... interesting. I thought the original did miss a certain je ne sais quoi.

Well they're gonna gopher the '2 and a half hour' mark..
They're gonna have to have editing pace that would make ANH look slow.

it's a good news...for me. Indiana jones 4. woow.
I will be watch this movie.

Errrr....

No Neo...!!!!!! Don't dooooooo iiiiiiiiiit...!!!!

Don't turn into us!!!

Yes!!! Queeqs right lol

Save yourself, before its too late..!!!

Don't go into the light!

Hes not answered back...... I fear the worst..

Its probably just the numbness and shock that we all experienced before the full magnitude of the horror set it.

I can just imagine him sitting there on his couch paralysed.

In three weeks people will find his body, still sitting there, and say he was such a quiet neighbour.

I hope he can avoid San Francisco until the shock and horror has given way to acceptance.

vhnscgCRe40

Yeah Shocking isn't it.

The makers alerted authorities and tried to save em, but filmed 'em anyways from a documentary POV telling the story of the bridges and those that jumped...

OMG

Yup.

Poor souls that they would suffer that much as to see that as the only way out.

They all look quite relaxed... it's bizarre...

Maybe the serenity of knowing that the release is coming.
The comfort of letting go...

I guess... it looks very casual though.

As life tends usually to be.

Something Bay has no clue about...the nuance of 'casual'.

I think the slapping like they did that guitar guy you showed earlier, should become a tradition for Phail Bands.

Hell yeah.

Yputube is also almost justice in itself a place where if you become part of a legendary doucheband, there is no escape, for your shame will be forever on display, circulated and laughed at by generations to come.

I agree with most of them, except Spidey 3, Rocky V and KOTCS hehehe.... Spidey 3 is watchable though.

And he didn't get the alien problem. the problem is not aliens or religion, the problem is that they made the aliens so concrete, so tangible. And he forgot the gophers.

Thats unforgivable.

Must be a corporate shill in charge of misinformation.

How can ANYONE there that day forget the squeaking, mocking and CGI fur?

Have'nt watched any of them Rocky movies then again does'nt really interest me Boxing more a fan of Stallones other character Rambo.

Now that man really knows how to disembowel a "Ladyboy c**t".

hehehe

Cant wait for Rambo V.

Or VI

Will there be anyone left in the world to shoot by that point?

We might have to wait 20 years for a new army to grow up first..!!!

I reakon that Nick Fury from Marvel would would give him a match.

I agree it would be a good fight.

Rambo VI: The Extermination of the Gophers from Mars

"The First time was for himself..
The second time was his country...
The third time was for his friend...
The sixth time was for his golf club"

"And he still isn't finished...

Hopefully not.

Brillant!!!

Fantastic.... Great stuff.

As was this epic back in the day:
m8jiR72y11w

Well worth a play: Another great game compelling me to get round to some emulating again.
Its by those same guys who did the Super Star wars games back then.

And it is better than KOTCS and uses less CGI.

bf4Yxa6lSt0

What are those games on?

The Indy game was on SNES.

Ah... Super Nintendo..

Sorry, didn't do those as a kid.

Ah. There were some classics.

The guy playing this seems to be going for a speed record, hence lots of poncy playing...but you can still see the game at least.

The other parts are in the related vids bit.

Damn... I wished I could have played those...

Well you still can.

Yeah, wll, I prefer COD now.

Which format... Xbox?

Will you believe it: Mac. (COD2)

Ah them Star Wars games i played them with emulator damn Empire and Return of the jedi are hard when compared to the first one

i've got COD on the 360...World At War and Modern Warfare.

I played CO4 a lot on my PC which has died.

I was hoping they'd release Modern Warfare 2 for the Mac as well, but so far no luck. But lucky for me there's a lively COD2 community online.

How about the latest one Black Ops any plans for the MAC?

Black Ops is an expansion pack to MW2... so if MW2 is not out for Mac, this one makes no sense.

It is?

i thought Black Ops is ment to be the next installment for COD.

I believe you're right Kaz. Black Ops is a totally new installment and was developed by the guys who did "World at War"...which had I think had different Engine to MW2.

is it??? Oh... it looked like an expansion pack.

Well, my PC wasn't even equipped to play WaW... no Jap killing for me..

Well not in a game at least.

Wait til Lo Han Bay starts remaking all your favorite movies.

*cocks gun*

Wow! Queeq REALLY likes guns lol

MOST people would pump the slide or pull back a hammer...

But mannnnn..... You crazy Europeans...!!!!

Pump the slide is for people who can't shoot. Plus the slow cocking of a hand gun demonstrates not only self confidence but imbues the victim with an increasing amount of terror. And it being a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

For them Call of duty games the only one i can play on the PC is the first one.

Is it that old? I loved COD4... But the extremely large amount of custom maps on COD2 makes it great fun online.

nah its just the processor 1.60 GHZ.

Bloody shame you havent got an Xbox, Queeq.
We could have tried kicking each others asses.

I may have to invest mac editions.

whats yours gamertag for the xbox sadako?

I'll PM you.

Sent one back at you.

Cool.

Now you are trying to seduce me to buy an X-Box eh??

To the green X side of the force....

Hmm... doubt it.

Why's that

low on money?

Low on testicles...?

Prolly..

Darn..... didn't fall for the goading.

*Goes back to drawing board*

You're getting old.

And I'd STILL whup your ass in an xbox face off.....

I'm sure you will..

Damn i missed ya today Sadako

"Last seen 14 hours ago playing Call of Duty Black Ops"

Ha. Indeed. Been having some local playoffs.
Might be on later. Im still a noob at it, but im picking it up...

Just a tip: Fire at the moving soldiers of the opposing team.

Heh. I wondered what I was doing wrong...

Hey, no problem.

Unless your playing Free for all then theres no team.

Lovely jubbly

Fruit jubes ?

Those too.

Its a London slang for "Niiiiiiiiiice."

well i hope you have some Dead horse on your meat


Grinning like a shot fox.

Bleedin 'ell, me old china.

I had a butcher's at that and nearly went for a ball of chalk down the apples to the all time loser..almost shat me Alan Whickers.
