By the time Lucas makes that film Indy's greatest danger will be getting mistaken for a zombie.

Just as Harrison Ford's career appeared to be listlessly thrashing and stumbling around, begging blank-eyed to be put out its misery....

Oh, the ironing.

This review of Red Tails should inspire us all to give George the biggest push of his life.

Into a trash compactor.

Whilst I think AICN is a fu*cking worthless piece of sh*t, designed to appeal to a particular kind of degenerate sputum...

I was checking out dvd reviews on AICN and came across the review from Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS on Blu-Ray..and immediatly thought how well this could work in the Indy universe with a little tweaking... AND it gets Nazis back as the villain thus staying true to the Indy formula.

When Cary Grant recruits the hot & wild child daughter of an infamous and dead Nazi? and gets her embedded with a group of South American Nazis headed by Claude Rains? whom she is to romance, while finding out about the hidden Nazi conspiracy? but as she does her job, she can?t help falling in love with Cary Grant? I mean, he is Cary Grant? but she wants to do the best job for Grant, so of course she cavorts with Claude Rains. Again, it is what he asked her to do, but he never expected her to turn into a Nazi F@*#er? So he treats her like crap? and? well? I love the film. It is a very complex emotional performance for nearly every character involved. You kinda love Claude Rains ? he is of course head over heels in love with Ingrid Bergman? she is INGRID BERGMAN? but as this Spy tale continues it just? it?s magic. I love it more with every viewing..Great film.

Lucas: 'Indy 5' a Possibility

"I haven?t even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

Then don't call it "Indiana Jones".

We weren't given any reason to like Mutt at all, why do this?

If you really want a fifth movie about Indiana Jones, then cast someone to replace Ford and stop trying to force us to like a second banana. Mutt has no interesting past, likeable traits or any chemistry within Indy's adventure serial context.

It may be more about what Indy does as a character, but Beeauoof won't look good doing it. He'll look like a kid stumbling around a set.

No, just no.

Lucas: 'Indy 5' a Possibility


George Lucas tells me it?s more than a strong possibility there will be a fifth "Indiana Jones." He says that he and director Steven Spielberg have left the door open for a sequel to "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Lucas, looking dandy with slicked-back gray and white hair in a snappy tuxedo, was a guest Thursday night at Paramount/DreamWorks?s party for "Kung Fu Panda" at the 61st Cannes Film Festival.

The swell event was set up on the pier across from the Carlton Hotel, where the studio spared no expense recreating sets and treating guests to haute Chinese cuisine. There was even one of the 40 pandas from the publicity stunt the day before, dancing in the crowd to Carl Carlton?s old hit "Kung Fu Fighting."

Lucas had a lot to say about the new "Indy" and its future.

"I haven?t even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

"And it?s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he?s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it?s not like he?s an old man. He?s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me."

Lucas says he?s not concerned about early mixed buzz on "Crystal Skull."

"This movie is the exact same experience as the other three were. The difference is, the novelty of discovery is gone. I get worried when I hear fans say they?re expecting something different that will change their lives. This is 'Indiana Jones' just as you remember him."


But that?s exactly the gamble Spielberg and Lucas took with reviving their icon. Expectation grows into a frenzy and then no one in that frame of mind can be satisfied.

You already can see this with "Sex and the City: The Movie" and it hasn't even opened everywhere. Fans and even some critics want some transcendent experience. They almost seem upset that all they got was ? "Sex and the City."

Lucas has been here before, when he revived and extended the "Star Wars" series. The build-up to the release of the fourth installment (aka now Chapter 1), "Phantom Menace," was huge until it reached a fever pitch. Then, almost before it could be absorbed, "Phantom Menace" became the target of scorn from fanatics. Computer-generated character Jar Jar Binks was public enemy No. 1.

But "Star Wars" continues to thrive. In August, Lucas says, he?s releasing an animated 90-minute "Star Wars" movie to theaters via Warner Bros. called "Clone Wars." It will be followed in September by an animated series on the Cartoon Network and TNT.

"No one wanted it," he told me. "Every studio rejected it, including Fox, and I?m very loyal to them. They have right of first refusal. Eventually I brought it to Warners. It?s the first time that three components of the studio have acted together. It?s very exciting.

"But the story is that everyone said, 'No one gets this. It?s just ? 'Star Wars.'' I said, 'That?s right, It?s just 'Star Wars.' Just like this is ? 'Indiana Jones.''"

Oh, yes, and by the way: If "Crystal Skull" breaks records when it opens on May 22, Lucas could wind up having his name on a fourth title in the all-time box office top 10 (it would be Spielberg?s second).

"But these movies ? the 'Indiana Jones' ones ? were never big hits right away. They were always slow starters that built up to big numbers," Lucas insisted.

I don?t think that will be the case with this one. And the notion that a sequel already is playing around in his head should only fuel the heady numbers about to be posted.
