Once there was a newbie,
Hurting like a boy,
Sitting at his keyboard,
trying to annoy,

Mommy never hugged him,
Daddy never tried,
With each and every posting,
His aggression was implied.


Well, usually I wouldn't stoop to such levels.

However, it's your poem. I don't wish to criticise the master wordsmith. And you wrote it just for me. I am truly touched. Oh, and just a point of order me laud; there was never any intention for a pandering "lets have a real debate", but rather an "I'm game if you are". Instead I get this. Which is twice as delicious. I am going to invite everyone I can to come and look at this. Really, I'm going to make you famous. I can't belive that my humble little posts have provoked such illustrious prose. I would almost suggest you become a writer. Hang on, let me check you public profile.... You are a writer. And an actor. And a musician. So talented. And I love the Star Wars reference. I sense much anger... lol! Oh I'm hoppin mad am I. Mola Ram Suda Ram! Ha ha ha. Seriously though, Gubber, you took all that time to compose this little ditty for me. Think about it. Really think about it. You look silly! But you don't mind looking silly. It says so in your public profile. I really hope you come back with another reply like this one. No one is going to believe this. Please keep 'em coming!

Glad you liked my prose. I aim to please. Please do show it around. No publicity is bad publicity. And yes, I am adult enough to not care if I look silly!
Infact, I love it! But then, you know that after stalking my profile... Am I really that important to you, Forrestal? Is this a case of hero worship? I am flattered, too. Let's get married.

It would be stalking if it were private. If you don't want it publicly available, perhaps you should delete it. However, I happy for you to frame it as you like Grubie.
It's fortunate that you don't care if you look silly... as you frequently do!
And perhaps you should look up the words hero and worship. I think you have become confused.
As for the proposal... well, I'm flattered. And I can see the attraction, for you. But I think the Herr in the Gruber would pose a significant issue and neccessitate a life-style change on my part that I just not willing to make. Thanks though. No, really (he says slowly backing his way out the door).

Ok, seriously though Grubie baby, this is where ole Forrestal cashes in. Sleep beckons and it's another day closer to the great man's return. However, should there be any doubt that I am retiring from the field of battle (debate/ childish jibe throwing by me/inane poetry-scary proposals from you)for any reason other than the need to catch 40 winks, I will return. Just like James Bond actually. :D

Ok, ok, you win. Happy? Now take your nitol and go to sleep. If you can't sleep you can always try counting little Shia's .

Forrestal - cashing in!

You'd think if it was going to be the final movie that it would be marketed as such, something like "The Last Chance to See Everyone's Favorite Archaeologist" or something.
I also don't recall Spielberg or Lucas ever saying it was the final movie either. And given that recently Ford said he'd do a fifth Indy in a "New York Minute" so long it as it doesn't take 20 years, I can see it happening. If Harrison can pull off Indy at age 65, why not at age 67or 68? Wasn't John Wayne still starring in action flicks well into his 70s? So was Connery (League of Extroadinary Gentlemen). With today's technology, it certainly is possible. It's not like he'd really be physically going off on an adventure, it's a movie.
Especially if it each movie was set with KoTCS set in '57, the next movie set in '58 and the last maybe set in '59 (if they went so far as a new trilogy) that would keep the series in the realm of the '50s and not expand it in the '60s (which I don't think would fit with IJ), Indy's age would still be reasonable, he'd hit the 60 mark in the last movie and call it quits.

Shia's role--if he is good and proves popular--could expand in the 2nd and 3rd movies and maybe from then on he could take the series into the '60s as the lead. But it would be a slow transition over the 3 movies. That's thinking into the future, but it'd be awesome to have at least one more Indy after this one, especially if this turns out to be good. And if this Mutt character turns out to be interesting, it could be a good way to keep this series alive for generations to come.

If it's a negative definition, I take it you are siding with the jumped up punk with a bad attitude.

I agree Kingsley. 5 follows 4 in most equations, so there should be Indy 5 in a few years. The whole world will trample to see it and it will be great, as KotCS will be. I have mentioned elsewhere that I am a positivist.

And so begins Round 2. You ready for another woping? I am rather busy this evening but could spare 5 mins for Professor Grubenstein. I may have to drop a few points on my I.Q. to do so but I'm sure Mensa won't mind me temporarily leaving their ranks. But this continuing diversion, while a mildly amusing distraction for me, runs the risk up upsetting others who (rightly) wish to discuss Indy 5.

P.S. "Snarky", I define it thus: adjective (pronounced :snar-key) meaning touchy, short tempered, irritable. Sound familiar? But you're a writer, surely you know this?

With flailing arms and a numbed mind, Forrestal passes out. Gruber leaves the ring to find something more interesting to do - like take a sh*t.

I'm not siding with anyone. I just like the limerick; it was clever and funny.
