Oh, Ren...I'm sure EVERYTHING that everyone's has said about me is true. At least in part! LOL! I fully admit to being an ass at times.
The great thing about being one is that if they get tired of one side of your persona....you can always turn the other cheek.
Not to hijack this thread but I realized that the new movie will deal with Indy being older, maybe have a son or daughter, sibling, whatever....
I was just wondering if Lucas has even given this a thought...
INSTEAD of embracing Indiana Jones older age...DENY it. In fact, don't even mention it. Don't make fun of the years, don't have him huffing and puffing, etc. Write the Indiana Jones character and the stunts that he will do as if Indiana Jones was still 30 years old....even if the timeline does have Indy is in his fifties.
I was watcing Secondhand Lions and it occurred to me that I had no problem accepting the fact that Robert Duvall's character could still kick butt at an old age. Similarly, I didn't have a problem with Connery's character in the movie, The Rock.
So I say screw all the old age humor and just make Indiana Jones so awesome that the audience comes out saying, "Damn! When I'm in my fifties...I want to be like Indy!"
