- I live-streamed the entire Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Hollywood Premiere from the fan box inside the red carpet. Fans from all over the world got to "be there" and see Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Mads Mikkelson, Phoebe Waller Bridge, John Rhys Davis, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and the cast of Dial Of Destiny.
It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and I'm glad I got to share it with Indy fans all over the world.
Follow me on instagram @riserindy for more Indiana Jones content!
I'm more than happy to watch this again, thank you again for being Indy on the scene at the red carpet!
I still need to watch it again! Haha
Awesome! Thank you for uploading this!!!
My pleasure!!
thanks for uploading this is great!
Of course, my friend! I just wish IG live would utilize the iPhone’s stabilizer. Haha
"George's glorious hair" lol 🤣
I swear it’s the most amazing head of hair I’ve ever seen in person.
@@riserindy 🤣🤣🤣👍
So what did you think of it? And can i ask are you more of a Superfan?
Not sure how to describe super fan. I’m a super fan of the wardrobe but I’ve also worked in the film industry for several years so I have a different perspective on the movies than an average fan.
If you’re asking whether or not I’m able to see flaws in these movies, I certainly can.
However, my first screening was literally with Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and other juggernauts in attendance so I will be the first to admit I had a biased experience - one that far exceeded my expectations.
I have since seen the film twice more and loved it even more each time. Any issues I had with it have either been forgiven or became non-issues after understanding the film more.
I think it features one of Harrison Ford’s finest performances of his career and I applaud Mangold for daring to give depth to such an icon. Instead of the “suspended animation” we found Indy in Crystal Skull, this movie is honest about where a character like Indy would be at the closing chapter of his life.
Will it be for everyone? Clearly not, but I loved it and I don’t think it’s 100% bias talking.
I hope this answered your question. Cheers!
@@riserindy I respect your honesty of having more of a bias view of this movie, especially as someone who has worked within the bubble of Hollywood town, rubbing shoulders with Cinema giants such as Ford & Spielberg; ofcourse it's going to give you a much more favorable view of that iconic character and the movie itself.
And it's perfectly understandable many Actors as they go into "old age" ofcourse will have a very different view of life, and especially how they perceive such iconic and beloved characters that they've played through the decades. A great Actor such as Harrison Ford obviously would find playing *Indiana Jones* in much the exact same way as before quite boring, having no new material to work with, no real challenge in exploring the morality of such a highly beloved character.
However in this crazy, seemingly upside down, increasingly "political world" we are living in today; i think the Hollywood studio has become somewhat unaware, or doesnt understand the general feeling of Mainstream Audiences right now.
People on a wide level across the western hemisphere are simply growing tired of all the messaging being driven in so many movies today. It's getting to such a point that there is so much politics, especially socio and identity politics being pushed now in most movies and films that, regular audiences and especially "Fans" of these hugely beloved Franchises, are just so desperate for that *Escapism* Movies from back in the day used to provide us.
I have to also point out that where your Exec Producers, Writers and Directors don't seem to understand, is that Audiences and Fans today, see these Iconic, beloved characters of Cinema very differently to how those of you within the Hollywood bubble may see them.
And if i remember, Spielberg & George Lucas actually envisioned the character of *Indiana Jones* as being the *James Bond* of his time; Masculine, rugged and handsome, a "Man's Man" who would ind himself in all these kinds of tough spots and dangerous situations and always get himself out of them. Spielberg himself even described the overall plan for the Indy movies would have them be much like the James bond movies. In that each one would be about Indiana Jones on a new adventure, where every movie is it's own standalone kind of thing; creating a ageless character.
I might also add i actually like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and only find it's main flaws to be that both Spielberg & Lucas just got alittle too carried away with the heavy us of CGI; and i'd say they got alittle too self-indulgent with that movie. Especially adding little touches like dressing Shia LeBeouf up as Marlon Brando from - "A Streetcar Named Desire" lol. Was that Spielberg's way of trying to tell people he saw young Shia as being the next Marlon Brando or something!?
Other than that I found the whole Crystal Skull element very plausible, just as much as the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail from previous movies in the series. Mysterious *Crystal Skulls* have even been discovered in parts of the world and are now kept in the Smithsonian Museum. I also loved how they brought back Karen Allen's "Marion Ravenwood" in Indy's fourth outing, and finally made a honest man out of him lol.
All that seems to have been undone by Dial of Destiny.
@@riserindy I think the important thing to understand here is that regular Audiences here in the real world (basically outside of Hollywood town) and Fans of these huge franchises have got to such a point they're practically crying out for a "Action Hero" who is Not based on or reflecting in any way "Real Life" directly. they want these characters to stay pretty much how they remember them. As timeless, and even if they're older, to just still feel like a "Fantasy Character".
Because we as people have been through Wars in the middle-east, almost constant threats of "terrorism" for a number of years, add to that now, a "Pandemic", and now Socio, and Ideological Politics. And the Media has constantly been pushing all these things that audiences and people in general have started to grow apathetic to all of it now; they want to ESCAPE when thy go to the Cinema. And be given some "Fantasy" to Escape into, and not still be reminded of things that reflect the "Real World", and you can't blame them.
So yes, while the Hollywood elite are all looking at trying in some way to kind of turn these iconic - "Fantasy Characters" inside out, more nuanced and to in some way reflect the Real World; while many Directors and Producers keep trying to do that with our beloved, Cinema Icons. the general Audience is pulling in the opposite direction because they simply don't want that.
this is something Hollywood does not understand, maybe it's that they don't want to even understand or realize this truth; and so they keep on doing it, doubling and even tripling down on this, and everytime they do another huge, beloved Franchise slips right through their fingers.
I mean that's two IPs now out of Lucasfilm pretty much dead - Willow and now *Indiana Jones*, and i mean Bob Iger is not happy because Disney have completely pulled that new Willow series from their streaming service. And your "Dial of Destiny" has underperformed so badly, it's being outperformed by a low budget movie the Disney studio sat on for like 5 years and only just got round to releasing now.
@@riserindy Lastly i'd just like to say there are 3 different types of "Fan". At one end there are your "Superfans", they're the ones that love off Everything with the Brand on it, regardless of its quality. So in the case of a Indiana Jones Superfan, they love ALL IJ movies in the series, and just don't see any flaws in any of the movies.
then all the way at the opposite end of that spectrum are your "Passionate Fans". these fans have a deep love for the Franchises they grew up with, but enough love that they're actually not afraid to Criticize when they see Flaws in a specific Franchise movie. the passionate fans often get missunderstood by Hollywood and the access Media, for being "bigots" or "ists & phobes", and/or just being impossible to please. But in reality they just love and care about these Franchises so much, they simply want to see them treated with the upmost respect, and will call things out when/if they feel a specific Character or Film in the Franchises is not being treated in the right way.
then lastly you have the one's in the middle, the "Casuals", or as you put, simply your "Average Fan". they watch some of these movies in a franchise, but don't have any deep, invested interest outside of that.
I feel James Mangold is a talented director but what he did for *Logan* absolutely worked, here with Indy it does not imo. It's just simply that Mangold's vision for the character gelled with Kennedy's vision, so he simply ended up making the Exact type of *Indiana Jones movie SHE wanted; Not what audiences and fans want.
I'd argue "suspended animation" in characters is just what audiences want in times where the REAL WORLD around them feels like it's all going to pot and turning upside down. People want that "Fantasy" in the character, you know, something to *Escape* into.
I can see that for those living within the bubble of Hollywood, its enticing to envision these beloved, Iconic "Fantasy Characters" of Cinema history as being more Grounded in "Reality" to a extent.
I hope you can understand these fundamental differences that each of our sides want when it comes to these huge Franchises and their Respective powerhouse Iconic characters.
Your Hollywood Execs seek to change them up, but we the regular audience and Fans for the most part don't want them changed in any real way; and that should not be seen as a bad thing.
I'd also respectfully argue that if Mangold were to be truly "bold" and daring, him and his team of writers would have dared to actually "Create" something ORIGINAL, come up with a totally New and Original character to bring depth and nuance to; but that's just it isnt it, Hollywood sees making anything "Original" as too much of a Risk.
the irony now is that whatever you think about 2008's "Crystal Skull" sequel, that movie was actually a Financial Success for Lucasfilm back then. With what Dial of Destiny has earned, it along with Willow have both probably driven the networth of Lucasfilm down, making it less valuable than what it was worth when Iger first bought it.
First off, forgive me for the late reply. My UA-cam app has had a bug where it wouldn’t let me respond to comments for the last week.
Second, you make some excellent points but I would argue that there is no version of this movie that would be successful. The fact is we’re reaching the end of the modern blockbuster’s lifecycle. Every successful genre has a lifecycle of 20-30 years. A good example would be the western genre. For nearly 30 years, almost every western was a moneymaker. It was a studio’s silver bullet and then one day people grew tired of the western, and before the studio caught on (they’re often several years behind) the western was dead. So what did they do? They made the biggest, most expensive westerns they had ever made, thinking that would satisfy their weary audience… and instead they failed miserably.
We have now reached the same point with our era’s blockbuster. Soon we see Marvel movies flop just like DOD.
I knew DOD would flop the moment I heard it announced because I knew they would never be able to make something that would satisfy enough people to be a success. They can’t make it without Harrison but he’s too old to make a truly escapist adventure, and they were fighting an uphill battle because so many people hated crystal skull, despite it making nearly a billion dollars in the box office.
I can’t tell you how many of my non-industry, non-Indy friends said they were going to wait for streaming because either a) Harrison is too old to play Indy or b) they hated crystal skull so much they don’t trust the franchise and don’t want to risk buying a ticket to another crystal skull.
I understand what you wanted and appreciate it. Ever since the pandemic I have not had interest in watching “serious” content, and craved escapism, but the thesis of my argument is the movie you wanted can’t be made unless you recast Indy - which would also have hurt its chances at success.
Ultimately, we are at the end of this type of blockbuster and our obsession with franchises and IP are nearing the end of their life cycle. The industry will be bankrupt of stories and will be in desperate search of original voices, and thanks to streaming - something that has cannibalized the industry - it will be a lot harder to find those voices than ever before.
