Did you cry while watching the latest Indy? Spielberg really nuked the fridge with that one.

Ha ha ha.... "nuked the fridge" nice reference...

Actually, I heard that a lot of the "issues" (not wanting to give spoilers) were with Lucas' ideas. He is supposed to be the one that came up with "where the crystal skulls came from" if you know what I mean. I think that, and the combination of a lot of green-screen work (obviously fake backgrounds) hurt the movie most...

I'm sorry I took the time to watch that movie. . . so disappointing. \:\(

Okay, forgot my last post about The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over being in 7.1, apparently I'm on something because I watched it yesterday again and it's definitely in 5.1.

I have a question regarding 5.1 and using rears/side channels. Is there a preferred method of listening in 5.1? In my setup (not sure if it's the same with everyone's by default) my side channels are being used, and the rears are nonexistent. Is this a better way to get a more enveloping sound? The thing that I find odd is that when I had my original older 5.1 setup, it was set up for me with two rears, and now that I have a 7.1 setup, the sides are being used.

I would imagine it will be up to one's preference, but I didn't know if I have something set up incorrectly.


Thanks guys

Edit-well I quite possibly answered my own question. I'm at Dolby Digital's website and in their 5.1 setup, they show the sides as being used.

Yep, regular 5.1 uses side surrounds, but you should be able to set your receiver to 'matrix' the side surrounds into the rear channels to spread the sound around more.

If you watch the BD bonus, Spielberg pretty much dumps the whole thing on Lucas. Spielberg says he was the one that did not want to make the movie and that Lucas came up with the novel story. Lucas is very creative, but he can't execute details worth a crap. Star Wars - the Next Generation - is all the proof you need, but Indy was the final straw – I’m not a fan of his anymore. My dog could write better dialogue.

I went in with such low expectations for the latest Indy that I actually ended up enjoying it. After what I had heard, I wasn't expecting much at all, so it didn't have much of anywhere to go but up from there.

Picked up the blu ray for laughs, tried twice to watch it, haven't been able to get past the first 15-20 minutes, too cheesy and slapstick without any interesting video, audio, or a sense of even cartoonesque intrigue.
