Indiana Jones returns ...

Oh my gosh. Excitement? Dread? Fear? Looks like there's finally an agreed-upon draft of a script for Indiana Jones 4. There's been rumbling of this for years. Harrison Ford spoke of it when he came to my school, and he sounded very eager to do another one (Harrison Ford being excited about something is a sight to see. No wonder he's a damn movie star. All he does is uncross his legs and lean forward in his seat ... and you suddenly feel this electric current sizzling through the room. Powerful. Some people are just amazing communicators - verbal, non-verbal ... whatever. When he got intent, or excited, or serious - you could FEEL it in a molecular way in that auditorium.) But anyway, that was 5 years ago, and at that time he said, "We haven't come up with a script yet that we're all happy with ... but I know I'm very excited to do another one, and so are George and Steven."

The thought of another Indiana Jones is almost too much!!

If they cast a 22 year old actress as the love interest, I am going to be pissed. Let's just say that up front!!

Indiana Jones beats the Nazis yet again, breaking his hip in the process ...

Oh, I'm just jealous because if a movie has either Harrison Ford or that guy who was the lead singer for the Fine Young Cannibals in it my wife will abandon me in a flash and go see it.

Well, Indy's job was go to distant places, find old stuff, and bring it to the museum, right? Now he can skip the "distant places" thing and just look in the mirror.

And I'm sure he'll find some use for that whip.

OK, that last was probably at least one step too far.

Posted by: Doug Sundseth at June 1, 2005 5:47 PM

See, the guy with the Cross of Coronado was right.

"That belongs in a museum."

"So do you, Doctor Jones!"

Oh, and regarding Indy beating the Nazis yet again, Spielberg said that after doing Schindler's List, he could never do cartoon Nazis again. So since it's set in the 50's, I imagine we'll get cartoon Soviet commies instead, which is equally at home in the whole adventure-serial genre.

Age jokes aside, I can't wait!

Indiana Jones and the Geritol Gulag?

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at June 1, 2005 9:30 PM

I was going to say "What about a cameo by other babe?"

I forgot for a moment that the earth opened up and swallowed her whole.

Indiana Jones and the Nordic Vixen.

Having retired to FL, Indy is surprised when he discovers Elsa's glove in a sink hole that has just swallowed up his Buick. (See how that ties in so nice with the Last Crusade? He knows she is still alive and his adventure leads him to the entrance to Atlantis outside of Orlando, where of course Elsa has fallen and survived. Unfortunately the Nazis have also discovered Atlantis and he kicks their ass and finds the Fountain of Youth. He comes, he drinks, he turns into Ashton Kurcher. That should be good for another 3 or 4 movies.

Bingley - you are absolutely killing me.

J Swift, I don't think Orlando really even existed before about 1970. Or that was my impression anyway. ;-)

In the inevitable chase scene, will the left blinker be on the entire time?

Christ, I could do this all day.

if sean connery and clint eastwood are still action hero's then harrison ford can be too. if the movie is done right then shut your brain down and let the good times roll.
