Cool News
Holy Smoke!!! Quint visits with Steven Spielberg on the INDIANA JONES 4 set!!! Plus news on TINTIN & TRANSFORMERS 2!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Okay, here’s the deal. I didn’t know I was going to LA until 5pm yesterday. I heard a rumor that AICN might have an invite to something regarding INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL the day before, but it was Monday that I got the confirmation and I was on a plane less than 12 hours later. You can’t pass that up, right?
I show up on the Universal backlot and meet up with some colleagues from JoBlo, Chud, IGN, ComingSoon, LatinoReview, IESB and Slashfilm.
We met at Amblin and met a van that took us to the INDIANA JONES set. Now, don’t get your hopes up. The closest we got was the catering. They treated us to some of the most elaborate and amazing catering I’ve ever seen. We’re talking flames, vegetables of all sorts, meats of all sorts, pastas with different sauces, multiple chefs… it was a huge production.
Around us were a dozen commies grabbing some grub, most of them actually speaking Russian… Mind you when I say “commie” I mean Red soldiers, dressed for the film.
I got to say hi to Laurent Bouzereau, who runs all of Spielberg’s DVD stuff. I got to chat him up a bit on the WAR OF THE WORLDS set visit and he struck me as being just as cool of a guy now as he did then. Just laid back, loving what he’s doing. We talked a little about the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS Blu-Ray release and he said it’s amazing, the HD transfer absolutely gorgeous.
Anyway, we all eat our awesome catering and suddenly we’re told it’s time to go back. It seemed like a rush and we soon found out why.
“Hey, isn’t that John Hurt?”
Yep. He had long hair and possibly a long Van Dyke, but it might have been a full beard. I didn’t get much more than a glimpse at him. He was in full costume. Dirty, earth tones. Very in keeping with the INDIANA JONES palate. His hair looked greasy and unkempt. I don’t think he’s been living in the lap of luxury.
“Hey, isn’t that Shia?”
And Shia LaBeouf runs past. Clean shaven, hair liberally oiled, but he’s been getting dirty, too.
So, it was clear why we were rushed out of the tent. The A-list was coming to eat…
And yes, that included Dr. Henry Jones Jr.
I won’t say that the van full of internet geeks became screaming girls, but the geek-o-meter was turned up to 11 when we all turned back and saw Harrison Ford walking the catering line and ending up at the ham station. He was in full costume. Fedora, loosely buttoned tan shirt, brown pants, brown shoes, whip… the whole nine yards.
Okay, so we were like a van full of 12 year olds that just saw Justin Timberlake walk by. I admit it.
It couldn’t have been planned better. It’s like a ride. We got just enough of a glimpse to get us excited and then the van pulled away.
We were buzzing with each other about seeing Indiana Jones in the flesh when we were escorted into the Amblin screening room. We weren’t in there long when we were told that “he is less than 2 minutes away.”
That “he” was Steven Spielberg who popped into the room from a door close to the front and greeted us all. He went down the row and shook everybody’s hand and asked what outlet they were with, occasionally throwing in “I know you!” or “I’ve read that site!” as he shook hands.
Nobody was prepared. We were told in advance that this was something we weren’t supposed to write about, so nobody brought a tape recorder or prepared questions. We were told afterwards we could write about our day, so you’ll have to excuse any hazy recollections or non-direct quotes.
Spielberg pulled up a chair and sat, facing us, answering questions as he personally autographed INDIANA JONES 4 posters for each of us.
None of knew this was a Q&A so when he went quiet there’s a long pause, so I blurted out something like “I can’t wait to see Marion back.”
Spielberg laughed and said she’s great and then asked if we knew about her clothing line. She has been out of acting for a while because she was concentrating on her own line. She hand knits for it, even.
My other question to him was regarding Drew Struzan returning to make up the INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL poster. “Is Drew returning for the poster?” Without missing a beat Spielberg said without a doubt. He said he can’t make an INDIANA JONES movie without John Williams’ score, he can’t make one without Michael Kahn editing and it wouldn’t be an INDIANA JONES movie if Drew Struzan didn’t do the poster art.
Other topics brought up included his working relationship with George Lucas and if Spielberg was pressured to shoot INDY 4 digitally. Spielberg said that the way he works with George is he lets George talk for an hour and then says, “No.”
He said that with a laugh. He clearly had a lot of love for Lucas, calling him his brother and partner.
His argument against digital is the picture doesn’t seem alive. He said you could sit in the front row of a digital film and see the digital artifacts and you can sit in the front row of a movie shot on film and see the chemicals in the film. The image on the screen could be a static shot of a man that never blinks, but when it’s film and it’s been through the chemical process the image is alive. You can see the chemical process after effects and even if nothing else is moving, the film has a life.
So he said he’s still the only filmmaker that cuts on a Movieola, cuts on film, and he’ll be the last person in the world to make a live action movie shot digitally.
That said, he talked about his future work on TINTIN.
That’s all Performance Capture, but it’s an animated film. He stressed that his live-action stuff will always be film.
On TINTIN he confirmed that he is directing one, Peter Jackson is directing the other and if they don’t get the person they want to film the 3rd then they’re just going to co-direct the third one.
Apparently the process is as collaborative as can be. He’ll be there when Peter shoots his, Peter will be there when Spielberg shoots his, etc. Weta will be doing all the performance capture and digital work.
Back to INDIANA JONES…
Harrison Ford is doing most of his own stunts again. He apparently just shot a fight scene and Spielberg said he could pull film from LAST CRUSADE and compare it to what was just shot and not tell the difference in how Harrison moves as Indiana Jones.
On the effects: 70% will be practical and 30% digital.
On the style: It hasn’t been shot and it won’t be edited like a modern action film. “I’m not going to change my style.” He said he likes to give audiences a master shot and let them become the editors and decide which of the 8 characters on the screen they’re going to look at. He jabbed at MTV type editing and said this will feel completely within the established INDIANA JONES world.
Lucas visited the set 8 times during production and will have a pass at editing.
Spielberg said that was a tradition (I’m pretty sure it’s just on their collaborations). He’ll get his cut, one that he’s ready to stand by, and then he’ll ship Michael Kahn and the cut up to the Ranch and give Lucas a go. He said it usually takes him a week and a half and Lucas will send a cut back that’s usually tighter and suggest ideas on different juxtapositions. Spielberg watches the cut and considers the ideas, but if he doesn’t agree with them, he goes back to his cut.
Spielberg has final cut on INDY 4.
TRANSFORMERS 2 – they’re trying to get it going pre-strike, but if that doesn’t happen then it’ll be held until after negotiations are settled and go then.
That’s about all I can remember. It was such a crazy whirlwind. My head’s still spinning. But I’m not done geeking out yet. I’m taking advantage of being in LA and to stay on my Harrison Ford high, I’m going to hit a late screening of the new BLADE RUNNER cut. Can’t wait!

Yay!!!!

Booyah!!!!

I've never caught a story as it was posted before. I'm calm now.
-
am I dreaming? My friend sharing this room with me is...so...maybe I am as well. There was a fucking set visit. Can't believe it. Have to read now. Read...
-
thats the closes i'm ever gonna get!
-
Because Nancy Drew and the Legend of the Crystal Skull PC game dropped today you know.
-
I'm not too keen on this sequel business but it's Speilberg doing his thing... I had a couple of dreams (i.e. sleep) some time ago. One was me all hurt and sad that my writings weren't going anyway and Speilberg was around and I just plainly said "I just wanna get my ideas out." We huddled. Much later a following year whatnot I dreamed that I came across him (basically invading his personal space acting like a I knew him and all) and he said with a amusing tone of "You do know you're going to jail right?"

Michael Kahn still cuts on a Movieola? Damn, that's old school.
by lance rocke
Must be one nice Movieola...
-
Gotta Love It
-
...really? Interesting... Been on the boat alone for too long my friend...
-
"Spielberg said that the way he works with George is he lets George talk for an hour and then says, “No.” " Yeah, we're good. Too bad he didn't direct the prequels...
-
Aha. So this was rather a Spielberg than a set visit. Interesting. Cool that only a few online folks were invited. Not so cool that the little chat was all there was. Still...thanks for the quick write up. Latino Review -Chavez says they'll be wrapping in two days. Maybe that means we'll get a little 20sec video the end of this week. Would be neat. I hope you told Bouzereau to not fuck this up, Quint.
-
Abner Ravenwood? Might a spoiler warning not have been in order? Or am I the last person to hear this bit?
-
Still worried, but what can I say, Spielberg's a reassuring guy to have at the helm.
-
Spielberg said that the way he works with George is he lets George talk for an hour and then says, “No.” - thats hilarious.
-
...you're just the last to hear this. There's been a casting announcement and everything! Unless great efforts are gone to to make some big secret surprise out of it, you can't usually count a 'this actor is playing this character' piece of info as a spoiler.
-
Harrison must love the hat. He has it on in all the behind-camera pics we've seen. I thought maybe it was because of the sun on location but he's even wearing it to lunch at the studio. The only pics I've seen without the hat were with him and Shia on the bike because Indy doesn't wear it in that scene.
-
This takes place after all of the other movies...
-
"...listen to George talk for an hour then say 'no'". That's the funniest thing I've heard all year. I can picture the whole thing.
-
Your AICN name that is...
-
With the stock strapped around your neck, thats f*ckin filmmaking.
-
So will we see the trailer or Thanksgving or Christmas?
-
To 'chat someone up' is to try to get into their knickers.
-
battle of the whips as Indy goes toe to whatever the creature has (ala temple of doom) Indy beats him and the Predator people give him... a lightsaber. Makes me wonder about about a Wookie fighting a Predator. A wookie would more than likely win.
-
Every once in a while I remember there's an Indiana Jones movie being shot RIGHT NOW and I get chills.
-
Having final cut means having the contractual right to control the final content of the film. It doesn't mean it's done or even started.
-
What the fuck are you talking about?
-
Oh OK. Didn't see it that way. In that case, he always have final cut, except for "Close Encounters" I think.Thanks.
-
Leaked all those spoilers to his local newspaper a few weeks back? I REALLY want to know what has happened to that guy.
-
That's all I needed to hear. Can't wait for Indy 4.
-
...playing nightly at the Key Club.

The three best Indiana Jones posters weren't even done by Drew Struzan. The three best are the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK release and re-release posters done by Richard Amsel, and the INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM style A release poster done by Stephen Hopkins. I love Drew Struzan's work, and particularly his work on the Indiana Jones films, but having someone else do the poster wouldn't be like having someone besides John Williams do the score or anything. This movie is really pushing it on the ROTLA references. It makes me feel like they are saying "Hey, it's just like in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK!" because this film's story isn't strong enough on it's own. Why is Abner still alive? It's a little too soap opera. Besides, having Abner alive takes away from ROTLA. Now instead of understanding how truly lost and alone Marion is in ROTLA, people will be thinking "But no, her father IS alive!".

Of cinema. Favorite character of all time. The DVD set came out the day after a deadly storm in Whistler and I was paniced that it wouldn't arrive on the day. It did. Happyness.
-
True Story: Ford really likes the end pieces the best. He says, "the combination of that sweet - salty contrast with the overcooked edge mixes with the rendered pork fat, and makes each bite a sensation." Then, he went back for sixths. Oh, and always stoneground, never Dijon mustard because, "that's for Nazi's." I think he means the actors, but I dunno.
-
And how does he explain his affiliation with Michael MTV Bay?
-
The 'wank in your face' line confirmed it. Although reading that script review he posted, it's actually pretty funny. Sorry Mori, if you did write that, ouch! He's tearing it to pieces.
-
WHOOOOOAA!
-
Can't wait to see the movie. Thanks for the report!

I don't have to like it. Also, Talkback Death is a child molester that denies the Holocaust. Just saying.

The problem is content. Star Wars Episodes II and III looked fine, the only thing they were lacking in is content. "Once" and "28 Days Later" are good examples of films shot on video that don't suffer for it. The format isn't really what's at issue here and Episodes II and III would have been just as bad on film.

Have you ever hung out with someone who, in hopes of fitting in with an established crowd, will try to say something funny but instead ends up having their joke crash and burn? And, instead of letting the unfunny joke die and move on (maybe even listening into the conversation and contributing when appropriate), says even more shocking and unfunny things to somehow justify that intial awkward moment? TALKBACK DEATH, you're becoming that guy. It's okay to move on, you're not being a bad-ass. You're just using caps and being unfunny. I know these are just words on a screen, but no one will ever know if you change your talkback name and contribute something positive.

I love the bit about him letting George talk for an hour and then just telling him "No." Awesome.

"Well, you know how Harrison used to run like he was about to suffer a bout of explosive diarrhea? Well, he's even worse now. I swear, it hurts me to watch him get out of a chair, let alone run."
Oh, and why do people forget the Soviets were the ones who defeated Hitler? It really sucks that Spielberg is being an ignoramus. Instead of taking the opportunity to correct some false impressions about WWII, here he is pouring on the anti-Soviet propaganda. -
Being a dumbass? I'm rooting for you SPIELBERG!
-
He does all of Spielberg's DVD stuff? Way to fuckin defecate all over the 25th Anniversary of Poltergeist, by letting the fans have some piece of shit transfer with no extras pertaining to the movie. Suck my fat one you cheap dimestore hood!

I concur with your statements RE: the non Struzan Indy posters. They happen to be the very same 3 Indiana Jones posters I've got framed hanging on my walls. All 3 have an organic look that Struzan just can't quite capture.
I wonder if we see Abner in a "flashback", ala the beginning of Last Crusade when we saw a young Indy. I'll admit I'm having a hard time believing they're gonna be able to make me swallow his "return from the dead". I've always been fascinated by the few lines in Raiders that tell us about Abner and his raising of Marion as well as his relationship with Indy. I do think John Hurt is a really interesting casting choice for the role, but I wonder if Abner Ravenwood was a "character" that was best left having never been seen in the Indiana Jones universe.

If Moriarty's script sucks, so what? This doesn't make him a hypocrite, he's still a great critic and a good read. Artists and art critics work on different planes. I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan, but I would never trust a single band that any member would recommend to me today, not even Tony Iommi. Lester Bangs was a great rock writer, but his band didn't reinvent the wheel either. But at the end of the day, I'd trust Lester Bangs' word on music over Sabbath's. As for yourself, you can post all the invective you want but I'm sure you've got more to say than that.

It's not everday that movie fans get to see Mr. Ford dressed up as Indy. That's pretty damn sweet.
Awesome wrap-up, by the way. I just keep getting more excited about this thing. -
in this one. thats the one thing he can do no matter how old he gets. unless he has arthritus. anyway if he does some cool whip tricks he might bring whips back. whips are cool.
-
Yeah, his script is up for critique...and in this case it did bad. No one is arguing that the script is good or bad, but his reviews have been solid for years. I would maybe argue that here and there they've begun to slip a little and when that's the case it seems like the review wasn't a priority. And sometimes he's into a certain kind of movie that I'm not interested in (most recently "Lust, Caution). But he almost always provides a good rationale for why he likes this movie or that. He's a solid reviewer by anyone's standards.
This is getting pretty rediculous because now this Talkback is getting to be less and less about Indiana Jones and that just sucks. -

I have seen on a number of occasions Tbers offer constructive criticism and he takes it like a grown-up. But leave it to that, then. Criticize his writing. Don't create a smear campaign (as you have done).
I have stated many times in the past that I am in complete disagreement with the ethics of this site. I come here for the sparking wit and conversation of TBers such as yourself. I think it is very hypocritical to spotlight other's projects, but when it comes to Harry's ventures into filmmaking, there's not a peep out of anyone here. And there is an unacceptable amount of homophobic and locker room humor on this site for it to be taken seriously.
But it's got some entertainment value, and while I don't come around much anymore (probably to the great pleasure of the regulars), I was bored tonight and stopped in.
Now please wipe off that cum that's dribbling down your chin and take a pill and go to sleep. (See, I understand you fancy a bit of the penis yourself.) Gulp. -

Why so much hate for a good guy like Drew? We all know him here primarily as AICN co-honcho, and reviewer extraordinaire, with a curiously funny penchant for smacking down some unruly Talkbackers from time to time. So what if he wrote a bad script? He's a good guy, who's good to his wife and kid. Quit shittin on him already and have some fun on the Talkbacks he generously gives us. Peace!

Thank the Christ-child Spielberg can say 'no' to him. He's probably the only person in the world who can, simply because Indy would be nothing without the 'Berg. If Lucas can't see why it's a crap idea to shoot Indy digitally then there is officially no hope for him. Spielberg's going old school on all our asses! I can't wait to see the results.

Whatever happened to that Equinas dude? That whole talkback was like a bad italian horror movie on acid.

Mori's writing, awesome Talkbackers, and Horsefuckers. Thanks for reminding me.

by badwaldo s revenge
...replaced by another talented extra specializing in Russian dance or a scene cut out altogether because of the spoiler leaked to the Midwest newspaper by the kid (despite he being 24-yo) who sabotaged his budding film acting career in the process.
Why didn't Quint ask him about the pathetic incident of NDA violation? Does he fear Spielberg's wrath if the forbidden question were asked?
Anyway, it turns out Spielberg is a pretty mellow guy. Even though he remains the most powerful Hollywood producer with the ability to decide who gets blacklisted so they can't work in Tinseltown even if a lowly production assistant talks shit bashing Hollywood's favorite choice for "hyena-laughing elitist shill" presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
I hope Spielberg teams up with James Cameron -- maybe exec-produce Battle Angel Alita trilogy. Can't wait to see Drew S.'s Indy 4 poster, he's an extremely talented legend. As for the movie, I'm reserved. No excitement. I refuse to see live-action Transformers 'cause Michael Bay is a H-A-C-K. -
...because he sticks to old school filmmaking -- old-school film editing and traditional 35mm film stock rather than go digital. A true connoisseur. I love the analog technology as well and I still miss laserdisc a great deal since it "passed" away 7 years ago. Laserdisc kicks DVD's ass anyway in terms of visual-audio quality. Although I wish Hollywood FX would focus on developing advanced optical effects the traditional way rather than fake CGI effects that immediately give away that "ehh, this is CGI" feel. A.I. was the last film with the aesthetically *convincing* use of CGI effects except for some scenes with Teddy. I refuse to see War of the Worlds because a co-worker friend called it "garbage".
-
also the Mandalorian Sage twat that posted gibberish in capitals? wanker.
-
Some advice; especially if you're a big fan of the original WOTW, don't put yourself through watching the Spielberg remake. Sheesh, what a travesty that was. I re-watched the original film last week (hadn't seen it in about 20-25 years) and that 50 + year old movie really was so much better as the Spielberg film. I still don't understand how Spielberg could fuck that up so badly the way he did.
-
Yes, Struzan's maybe a little too slick for some and has been repeating himself for years but his work's "not much better than Photoshop"? Dude, he *hand drew and painted* those posters, of course they're much better than Photoshop. And his design skills have always been, to me, nothing less than consummate. I couldn't tell you who was the better illustrator of the two but I imagine if Amsel had lived long enough for people to tire of his style he'd be copping the same jaded indifference from fans as Struzan has in recent years.
-
Spielberg has final cut.
Spielberg listens to Lucas and then says no.
Relax everybody. -
the only action orientated movie coming out of the US that I wanna see next year and maybe, MAYBE Iron Man only cause Jon Favreau knows character comes first. Everything else, you can have it. I just read that some goof is making 'Thundercats'. I mean, COME ON. Next they'll be making films outta the ads on TV. And when they do, the US film industry will implode like a dying star.
All kudos for Spielberg for still using film and not getting sucked into that digital world of flatness. -
...I've been saying since the earliest rumours that this would be made and it would be great, and that I have faith. Hearing Spielberg talk just confirms that this will be spectscular...
Oh, and Talkback Death? We may not agree with Moriarty all the time, but the guy carries a lot of sway around here, and we at least respect him because he's doing something with his life. You're acting like he fucked and then dumped your mom - what's that all about? Unless he DID do that. In which case...GO MORI! -
Sorry about the earlier fuck ups.

I watched "Last Crusade" last week and was reminded again that those action sequences weren't especially original. It's like, "Well, what haven't we used in the first two movies? I know! A motorcycle chase. And a tank! Oh, and maybe a blimp. And Indy needs to get on a horse again." The intro with River Phoenix didn't age well. I find it hard to believe that the young Indy got his 1) hat 2) whip skills 3) chin scar 4) fear of snakes and 5) purpose all on the same afternoon. No.

The tearing out of still-pumping human hearts by hand, which burst into flame when held aloft and accompanied by the magic voodoo chant, "Mola ram booga-lam!" Or bratty little Indian princes under a "dark sleep" spell. I pray to Allah every day, let me die. But he does not.
-
Perhaps Spielberg stuck closer to the book, but his movie sucked hard. It re-hashed too many scenes from his earlier films as well and worst of all, the whole movie lacked suspense. It was definitely not a better film than the one from the fifties. Yes it was ! No it wasn't ! Ha ha.
-
Someone mentioned this pairing above and said they thought that the Wookie would win. If it's bowcaster vs. plasma caster, I'd call Predator. Claws vs. extendable metal arm blades, I'd call Predator. Bare handed (pawed?), I'd call Wookie. Drinking contest - let the Wookie win!
-
He spared no expense
-
Everything is relative. War of the Worlds isn't up to the standard of Spielberg's early work but compared to most of today's summer blockbusters it's terrific.

He said that it is still a possibility and that he needs to have a conversation with George and Lucasfilm about it."
Mmmhhh. I've never seen those films in a theater. Why not re-release the previous three films after May 22nd or when Indy IV hits DVDs? Normally I would say it's the task of those people responsible for film programming at museums, festivals and theaters. But in Europe or Germany just none screens these films. I so hope for a worldwide re-release... -

I mean, I read the article and the part about the ham. I just don't get why replacing the word "ham" into quotes from Indy movies is actually funny. Seriously. I've got a pretty good sense of humor. But this isn't funny. It's just kind of stupid. But not even stupid in a funny way. I mean stupid in a stupid way.

Humor is subjective. My funny is your stupid and vice versa and even the best developed sense of humor will be stymied by a seemingly "stupid" joke that others find hilarious.That having been said, oftentimes humor can be found in both repetition and incongruity.Additionally, there's a bit of a geeky chuckle in the simple reminiscences of many, many lines from Indy lore with a lil' "ham"-handed switch.That answer your question?Now it's my turn, haven't seen this one yet (but may have missed it): "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the HAMS on the table..."

Hi Quint:
Another site is reporting that during the Q&A with Spielberg someone asked about re-releasing Indies 1-3 and that Spielberg answered that they may be released on HD DVD and Blu Ray in 2008 - can you verify that?
It would be BIG news for high definition fans if true! Thanks -
you've been around AICN long enough to know this is NOT as dumb as it gets around here. In fact, it's rather fun. Much more so than, say, just doing the old "Indiana Jones and the...." for 1,000 posts.
-
Wait, wait. Let me try. "No time to argue. Throw me the idol, I throw you the ham!" Was that funny?
Hold on, I can do better. "It's a ham. A ham for speaking to God." Or does that not work because I replaced both transmitter' AND 'radio' with 'ham'?
Does it work for any word or just ham? What about 'bacon'? Would that be funny? Maybe it only works on food words that were in Quint's set visit article?
Or maybe this is like the jokes in Family Guy? You know, not funny until you've repeated it ad nauseum? And even then, still not really that funny at all? I have so much to learn... -

Apfelwein season is over, finky. :)But gererally it tastes good to Schweinefleisch. And I seriously recommend to serve some Sauerkraut with it. (I never thought I'd really say that.)
Apropos Schweinefleisch... I'm glad they hired some actual Sovi...errr Russians for the Soviet parts. I mean...it's funny to watch the original versions of Raiders and Crusade and hear SS officers speak with an American accent. You could say it fits right into the B-movie concept. But it also seems a bit ridiculous. Slone, this is a talkback. Childish insertions of random words that lead to referential lines are the only reason for its existence. -
yeah, i didn't get the ham thing either until i re-read the article and found: "I won’t say that the van full of internet geeks became screaming girls, but the geek-o-meter was turned up to 11 when we all turned back and saw Harrison Ford walking the catering line and ending up at the ham station."

Spielberg talked about HD and Blu-Ray Indiana Jones trilogy, but only as a joke when discussing the possible theatrical re-releases of RAIDERS, TEMPLE and LAST CRUSADE. Ultimately he felt seeing re-releases leading up to KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL would make INDY 4 feel less special. He wants the first time anybody has walked into a first run theater to see Indiana Jones on the big screen for the first time in 19 years to be Indy 4.Then he followed all that up with something like "and I can just keep putting them out on DVD and they'll make just as much money! Blu-Ray and HD-DVD versions!"I'm sure they'll be put on high-def and I'd guess they're going to do something like what they're doing with the Harry Potter films on HD release- wait until Indy 4 comes out on DVD and put out a giant collection. That's just a guess though.I hope he changes his mind about theatrical re-releases. I understand keeping INDY 4 the main attraction, but how about a simultaneous re-release or stagger them a couple weeks apart? I can't say how cool it was to see the original trilogy in '97 back to back to back... I just had to block out all the crappy CGI and useless changes... I'd love to see the same thing happen for the Indiana Jones series and I think Paramount would be surprised just how much money that'd bring in.

No major story information about the movie, or what was being shot that day. It was pretty much a geek-gasm in the presence of his holy Speilberg.

I find it funny that bBOTH Quint and Devin over on Chud commented directly on "Indy going straight for the HAM". And with time and boredom, a TB can always turn hamfisted like this. Surely you know that about AICN by now. Seriously, this story's 15 mins are way over, so I can only imagine you keep coming back to the TB because you secretly dig the "Ham".
