It‘s an impossible situation and there doesn‘t seem to be any way out.
“We’re trapped! How are you going to get us out of this?!” you ask, only one step from panicking.
“I don’t know,” replies the grim-faced man wearing the battered brown fedora as he glances around. “I’m making it up as I go along.”
And somehow you just know that he’s going to get us all out of it.
Recently I did an “Indiana Jones” movie marathon, watching all four movies, and was again swept up in the excitement and fun. Part of that fun somewhere between Raiders and Crystal Skull was in doing a fast pencil sketch of my fursonna in the fedora. Afterwards the pencil sketch led to a little PhotoShop work and while I listened to the soundtrack from all four movies, I did the DVD cover before you.
John William’s “Raiders of the Lost Arc” march is going to be in my head for the next couple of weeks. :-D
“Temple of the Times” is the name of an “Indy” screenplay that I wrote awhile back featuring myfurryself, my sometimes over-confident lionmorph young friend Dai Blackclaw, scholarly lupine Wilber Crooktail and keep-your-hand-on-your-wallet vulpine Freaky Foxx While not an out-and-out copy of any of the real Indiana Jones adventures, it’s close enough in spirit to have been fun to write because it put me back again in the world of Indiana Jones.
NOTE: The character and all rights pertaining to Indiana Jones is the property of George Lucas and Phillip Kaufman or their designates. The package design that I mimicked here is very close to that of the one owned by Paramount Pictures.

"Crystal Skull" has a number of things working against it in the audience's mind. The hero was 20 years older and American audiences are addicted to young actors which partially explained the introduction of Indy's son. The Soviet Union, communists and the NKVD never achieved easily recognized costumed "bad guys" status that the Nazis did and have. For much of the younger audience they were "some sort of army guys from a foreign country". The introduction of the interdimensional aliens strained the 'back in the 1930's early 40's' flavor of the series. BUT, the character was portrayed by a live actor and not a hand-drawn and ageless comic strip character like Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne.
All in all, aware of all the things that told us that Indy and all of us are getting older, I enjoyed the movie. And like any die-hard Indiana Jones fan, I wish that there could be a new movie made every year like there was a new chapter to the advetnure serials they once showed in the movie theatres.
:nostalgia:

Good points. I have fun watching it but the russian villians were off (like you said there are not like the nazis at all). The Indian cult in the 2d one..well it was kinda made up and more surprising so it did worked. I didn't liked the sci-fi element of it. Indiana jones are adventures with supernatural stuff. Sci-fi doesn't mix at all.
I saw the DVD box set at 300 pesos (like 20 dls) I'll see if I can buy it :D

I can't tell you how many times I have watched and rewatched those four movies -- probably close to a hundred times. Indiana Jones, Marcus Brody, Sallah, Belloq, Marian Ravenwood and all the others have gone from being characters up on the screen to being characters of legend, like Rick or Louie or Ilsa or even Major Strasser from "Casablanca".
And yes, I have gotten back into wanting to make pictures again. Emotional artist that I am. :-D
And yes, I have gotten back into wanting to make pictures again. Emotional artist that I am. :-D
Actually, while I do my art ideas, I try to express them in such a way that everyone else gets some sort of emotional reaction from it; a laugh, a smile, an insight, or maybe even an old memory reawoken. I am one of those odd fellows who thinks that if an artist does art 'just for themselves' then they are not very different from the old man sitting on the park bench by himself having a conversation with himself. If an artist does art just from themselves, then what is the reason for showing it to anyone else?
*laughs* I am afraid that I rarely enjoy what others want me to draw. I need the motivation of my inner Muse who is half curiosity, half child and half explorer. So ja, I will probably always be a bit of an artistic rogue, turning out pictures from the different corners of my mind and trying to make them enjoyable for everyone, and not just myself.
Intersting DvD cover :)
All the Indiana Jones movies are just so iconic and Memorable. Even the games of Indiana jones were so unforgettable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSvFLE8NR-c&feature=related it's one of the most memorable N64 games I've ever played. It might look awkward the way he moves around, but it's old; and yet it was ahead of it's time during it's game generation. so much effort went into games back then. A lot went into the music especially, every good game had a great soundtrack. The soundtracks are what gave every game back then an in game feel or atomosphere since the visuals weren't as good as they are now.

"Star Wars" and the Indiana Jones movies dealt with heros and villains; good and evil, and we all recognized them as that and responded.
Lucas, Spielberg and John Williams are an incredibly talented trio especially since they could all work together unlike most of other Hollywood "specials". Williams' music from those movies is instantly recognizable and as soon as you hear it you are back in the "reality" of the movie.
I agree with you, Raithwal, the music put you back into the story's reality and made up for any shortcomings in the graphics or the play.

Oh I nearly forgot! The next one you should do should be "Lionus of Arabia"!
Great movie by my second favourite director: David Lean! One for everone's collection! Besides, I think you would look great in Arab garb.

Yes, "Lawrence of Arabia" is one of the classics, due in no small part to Peter O'Toole's out-standing performance -- the man had a rare talent for portraying characters who were driven (see also "Becket", another one of my favorites).
"Lionus of Arabia" .... hmmm, I like the sound of that. *puts title on list of Must-Do art projects*
Thanks for the good idea, Leo. *furry hug*

I'm not quite sure what it was in the training of actors a generation or so ago, but today's crop doesn't seem to have it included in their training. You put it beautifully when you described O'Toole as having a "presence". That he does.
As for the Oscar, if he wanted it then I say he truly deserves one for his entire acting career. The man is a fantastic actor, and that should be acknowledged. But unfortunately I never heard that he played the game of Hollywood "politics" that seems to be such a large part in receiving the statuette.

I have to concur on th ePeter O'Toole assessment. The man is brilliant and just blew the socks off of anyone he's in themovie with. Becket was amazing. As was Lawrence of Arabia. He was also amazing in Troy. He totally beat the snot out of Brad Pitt in their one scene together.
And I adore the Indiana Jones movies. They are true classics that will be with us forever. So much memorable about them that they'll always find new audiences.
I'm one of the few that really enjoyed Crystal SKull. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Was great to see Indy back in the fedora for one last adventure. I loved it when he took the fedora out of Shia LeBouf's hands at the end of the movie. That was a great and pure Indy moment!

And THAT is exactly why I do my art, Manokiller. To have it reach out and cause you and whoever else might view my art to smile, to pause and think, or even to remember a fond personal memory.
Thank you for sharing your response with me. It is very much appreciated.
*furry hug*

Heh, I don't know how many times I have watched all my Indy DVDs, but whenever I hear the Indy "Raiders" march I cannot help but smile and feel a little twinge of excitement inside me. Though it may be old-fashion to say so, he is one of my all-time heroes.
Pictures? Well whenever you get the time to collect them up and send them, p-mail me and I'll give you my e-mail addy.
But between now and then, thanks for the double thumbs up and for letting me know you enjoyed my little bit of Indy memorabilia.

Thanks, Olspal.
'Anthro versions of our favorite movies'? I certainly do not see any reason why not. Perhaps if any of the Hollywood people who are closet furries here on FA and are close to George Lucas or Steven Spielberg, they might suggest the idea to them.
Until that time, I for one will continue to honor those awesome movies with respectful anthro artwork/posters like this one.
