No, I'm sorry, not "cool". The word I was looking for there was "stupid".

"And we won't get any older and we won't ever die."

Then Tom Cruise leaps out of a ventilation duct and beats the shit out of him with a briefcase full of Quaker Oats.

It doesn't matter - I can't friggin' wait for this. Indiana Jones - no matter what type of slump Ford has been in - will rock. Do you think Speilberg will intentionally make a horrid movie? Yeah, some endings have been forced / too feely good good, but c'mon! Ol Stevie will come thru and make a great movie.

I'm going out on a limb and saying I personally hope this is the start of a whole new trilogy with an older Indy. More cerebral then 2 fisted - with some serious 2 fisted action - but more more thinking man - I'd go for it.

I agree... as Homer Simpson said at the Springfield Chili Cook-Off, "Less artsy, more fartsy."

Anyway... If Indy was in his early to middle thirties in (about) 1935, then that would put this film in the mid 1960's. Maybe he can meet the Beatles when they land at JFK.

Riding off into the sunset at the end of Last Crusade was the perfect way to end the series. I hope I end up pleasantly surprised.

Also, as mentioned, it doesn't include Winstone.

If Marian is the mother of "Indy Jr." his name really ought to be Abner Jones. How could it not be? Abner was Indy's mentor. Indy girl who most inspired me to want to choke my monkey as a preteen: Kate Capshaw

I'm not excited by the whole "Shia" casting-regardless of his role. And the mere fact that this is "new" film with an old Indy doesn't enthuse me the same way a new Indy film might have if today was April 1992 or 1993. But if there's another good John Williams score in it, maybe it'll be worth it. Been a long time since I first bought that Last Crusade score and I wouldn't mind adding a fourth disc to my Indy collection.....

Now, if he worked on it that long for spec, then I see why he's pissed, but he's also been in the business long enough to not do anything that stupid. I hope.

That's right Indy, you can't Facemelt a cloud who has NO FACE!"

(cue evil cackle)

or that he has flames on his chest

or nipples on his Indy-shirt

or that he wears a "gotta shit" mask

or that he has a car/sidekick that talks only in radio songs

or that he's too Venomy.

Hey, what's up with Juan over there by himself?

CAVEMAN 2

Well, it takes Juan to know Juan.

Insert of STEWIE GRIFFIN pops into screen.

STEWIE

hahahahahahahahaha!

As for WIlliams taking alot of his cues from him (there's a number which also sound alot like Tchaikovsky), they say the best get that way by patchworking from all the other bests.

Yeah, I just threw out a Karate Kid ref.

Speaking of the repligin, I've not seen your TB handle before. But if you know of the repligin, you can't be new. I know Deus is still around and Abom got a new handle. What's your f/k/a?

Metamucil, the laxative recommended by 4 out of 5 geriatric Ark Finders!

Sigh...."the horror!"

Until next week, folks. I'm Finky089, out.

That's probably what Indy is going to look like. Gasping and wheezing and struggling to get across the screen. Or Charles Bronson in Death Wish 3, where he could barely run down a street without getting winded. Or Sean Connery in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, where they had to cut to a stuntman everytime he did any fighting.
