Lucas: New Indy Film Best Since 'Raiders'

Its just creepy looking, the only thing that defines his chin is the beard. I guess Jabba neck would be more fitting.

"Jabba neck" indeed would be more fitting---you're really onto something t-bolt

I'm glad Lucas doesn't have too much input. He kind of lost touch with his real fans in my opinion. I was lucky to have seen some of the filming and walked through the sets when they were in New Haven, so I'm more excited than I would normally be. I loved the first 3 and hope this caan come close to the previous films.

And doesn't Lucas have enough money to fix that creepy turkey neck thing he has going on?

Dude...if I had a billion dollars the last thing I'd be thinking about is going
in for unnecessary surgery!

Maybe George is of the same mind?

Always remember I before E, except after C.

Unfortunately I'm so paranoid I never trust that rule implicitly

Steven and Harrison should lock up old George so he can't add ideas from his kids to the movie.

Lock up George----sell his car----whatever it takes!

Always remember I before E, except after C. Sorry, tho, Steven and Harrison should lock up old George so he can't add ideas from his kids to the movie.

^^^^^^Stale rehash?

No fan is looking for Lucas and Co. to reinvent the wheel to a proven formula
----and then take away the FX so we could notice that.

It's an Indiana Jones movie and traditional relic quests, "tense" love stories, and "FX and
action" are what help define the genre/franchise

If you want a movie without a spunky female lead, and no twists on
the Jones family dynamic, and no mystic treasure to go after and no FX to enhance
interesting action sequences-----you could go rent MY DINNER WITH ANDRE...

...instead of selling your soul and buying into the INDIANA JONES malarkey

Stop the presses, Lucas said what!?! Gee, someone associated with a movie franchise made the stunning claim that the next movie is going to be the best one ever (or at least since the original)?

Now if he came out and admitted that this movie is going to be a stale rehash of the same formulaic bs, with a slightly different treasure, a slightly different feisty female lead, and a slightly different twist on the Jones family dynamic, but that we would be so razzle dazzled by all the new stunts, CGI and other special effects to notice, then I'd be truly impressed.

Hey, Hue. Learn how to spell SPIELBERG before you use it. And Mr. SPIELBERG's had his fair share of clinkers the last few years. War of the Worlds, AI, and Minority Report come to mind.

That's embarassing about the spelling! (oops)

And----I thought Minority Report was great

Didn't see the other two-----but my opinion is you can't really count AI
as a "miss" or a "clinker" anyway----cause it was a labor of love to finish a movie
he didn't plan on working on the first place
(and War Of The Worlds got a respectable enough 73% on ROTTEN TOMATOES)

Anyways...

Like I said, between Spielberg and Ford----this movie will be great----mark my words

Then again---I thought TEMPLE OF DOOM was great----so I guess
"great" is somewhat subjective in this case

Seriously, they've been gearing up for this for years----its gonna be reallllly good

[joshvox]

This could be a great movie. I stress could.

didn't stargate sg1 do a crystal skull episode once too??

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I'm really looking forward to this one.

The only real crystal skulls I am aware of, which the story may be driven by, is this:

Crystal skull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hate to use wikipedia but that seems to be the real one.

Yeah, it's been established that the crystal skull is a 19th century German invention, passed off in the 1920s as an ancient Mayan artifact by an unscrupulous American archeologist and a wacked-out art restorer in the 1970s...

... but hey, whoever said the Holy Grail was real?
