Anyone watch this tonight? Not only was it a pretty neat event, but there can be NO doubt that Indy 4 is very real. Hell, the big 3 were sitting right next to each other, and granted, each helped "make" each other's career, but clearly they're in full swing for a 4th movie. The wait is nearly over, my friends. And I must say, Ford looks pretty good. He's a little goofy on the personal side it seems, but he's still got the look and attitude. That's probably the single-biggest reason I watched the thing. Man, to see those 3 sitting at the same table-- how can you not be in awe?
Anyway, I did kind of pick up on a couple themes, and most have been discussed already on this board. Lucas really seems to be in a career mode where character backstory is almost an obsession. I see a lot of this going into the new Indy movie. I think it's, now, more a question of who, rather than if, a young Indy will be introduced. Hopefully Spielberg has more of a say than GL, lest we see another Hayden Christiansen-type casting. To me, the part of Indy is much harder, and more imperative, to hit perfectly than that of young Darth.
But the Indy spot of the awards show did point something out to me that I hadn't thought about-- what's the new antagonist swarm of creature this time? We've got spiders, snakes, "bugs" and rats. My guess is sharks or other potentially deadly aquatic creature. Water's played a HUGE part of every Indy movie, and if the timeframe of mid-50's is still a go, I'm guessing the setting is Asia. Historically, that's the most active area of the world in this time period, provides some great bad guys, and gives way to an almost unavoidable water scene or two. I'm reaching here, but hey.
Just wondering what you guys thought of the Lucas, Spielberg, Ford bits of the show, if you watched it.
