lucas smash........ARRRRRHHHHGGG HULK

raped my childhood ...

No. Just.....no.

The series already jumped the shark nuked the fridge. At this point why not make another one?

browneye: "I'm available, I'm not cheap, but I'm available."

You're also old, dude - close to seventy. No more Indiana Jones for you.

If another one gets made, its going to be a prequel or the progeny of I.J. and he won't be included in it. They've already did their old-as-dirt I.J. money grab.

Meh, his statement is code - he'll kill the project by being too expensive, that way everyone saves face.

Solon Isonomia: Meh, his statement is code - he'll kill the project by being too expensive, that way everyone saves face.

And rightfully so. It must have been embarassing to even be a part of something so unashamedly cringe worthy as the last IJ. I wonder if he'd change his tune if they got a credible writer, director and producer for another instalment.

Indiana Jones and the Last Adult Diaper in the Box

FloydA: "I have strong ambition to do it while I'm still alive."

Makes sense. That is usually something the casting directors look for in an actor.

Not for long. We're not too far from the technology displayed in Running Man, where you map actor you want onto the actor you have with a computer. We're on the verge of seeing a lot of undead actors on the screen.

Unsung_Hero: Not for long. We're not too far from the technology displayed in Running Man, where you map actor you want onto the actor you have with a computer. We're on the verge of seeing a lot of undead actors on the screen.

Hell, we've even seen it attempted in the Tron sequel. The tech's not there yet, but we're certainly no more than 5 or 10 years from it.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The technology is here now.

Eh. Last movie wasn't bad. Wasn't great either, but I'd be up for a sequel if the script was better this time around.

I think you might be surprised to learn how many seventy year olds could kick your ass. Harrison Ford for starters.

Didn't he learn from the last one? I guess humiliation must bounce off you when you get to a certain age.

Orgasmatron138: Didn't he learn from the last one? I guess humiliation must bounce off you when you get to a certain age.

Why do you think his willingness is so luke warm?

The worst thing about the last one was how old Ford looked. He had those rheumy, old man eyes that just looked like they belonged to someone that should be playing checkers, and not and actor playing Indiana Jones.

The plot is a very distant second when ranking the things that sucked about that movie behind the glaring fact Harrison Ford looked and moved like an old man. They tried to disarm that fact through some wisecracks about age, but no script, CGI or camera tricks could conceal that fact the actor simply did not belong in that role.

"I'm available, I'm not cheap, but I'm available."

When Harrison Ford starts sounding more like Mae West than Harrison Ford, then he probably shouldn't be making any more Indy movies. I guess the good news is that at least he's not proposing something as godawful as The Governator.

KingKauff: I must be the only Farker who actually liked the last I.J. movie.

You are not alone. I enjoyed the movie too. Saw it opening day and walked out loving it.

jj325: I'm pretty sure what happens in the fifth movie is Indy dies and goes to Heaven and finds out before he gets in the pearly gates he has to go back to Earth and help Shia LePoof on a journey of personal discovery

Well, that would work and if Ford happens to die during filming it would make the next Indiana Jones box office receipts epic.

Having aliens in a movie is just as believable as religious artifacts that work or cults that can do the old still beating heart grab.

/haven't seen I.J.4, just sayin'

It's been done.

Sometimes I wish involuntary commitment laws were still on the books.

red5ish: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The technology is here now.

Not really. The only reason it sort of worked in Benjamin Button is because they intentionally kept the movie somewhat dark and and "aged" as far as visuals go. That did wonders to hide the small details that make that sort of CG look so unsettling.

How did the alien thing come about anyway?

Lucas: We've done Christians/Jews. We've done Hindus. What's next?
Spielberg: Muslims?
Lucas: No way. We'll never get out of the theatre alive.
Spielberg: We can't do Native American. It'd be lawsuit city. And Americans will have no truck with African spiritualism.
Lucas: Guys, I think we have to do aliens.
Ford: Seriously? WTF?
Spielberg: We already did E.T...
Lucas: But not with Indiana Jones...
Spielberg: Good point. Let's do it.
Ford: Where do I sign... and pay me in EUROS!

/I actually already know the alien thing was due to 50s comics and the Red Scare and all of that. Still irritated by it though.

Considering the amount of flops you've been in lately (and the fact you're almost 70), I don't think saying 'Gimme money!' is going to get you hired.

jj325: I'm pretty sure what happens in the fifth movie is Indy dies and goes to Heaven and finds out before he gets in the pearly gates he has to go back to Earth and help Shia LePoof on a journey of personal discovery

So its a remake of The Heavenly Kid?

They're going to need a bigger fridge just to hold his ego.

What was the last time Harrison Ford bothered to give a performance in a movie, instead of just looking cranky and pissed for the entire running time?

It's either air Force One (FOURTEEN years ago) or the under-rated (but still not very good) Hollywood Homicide (EIGHT years ago), right?

/Ol' crankypants Ford kinda worked in Cowboys & Aliens
//The plot didn't
///Plus you don't see any of the good bits of nude Olivia Wilde

The kid from the Young Indiana Jones adventures was good. Maybe he could just do "The Indiana Jones Adventures" now.

Shrugging Atlas: The worst thing about the last one was how old Ford looked. He had those rheumy, old man eyes that just looked like they belonged to someone that should be playing checkers, and not and actor playing Indiana Jones. in a museum.

I'm fine with using that technology so long as we're using it in a game show similar to the movie.

/Actually, would prefer we stuck closer to the book. More audience involvement that way.
//Give me the Justice Department, Entertainment Division.

I would love to see the 'WWII spy adventures' which Indy referenced toward the beginning of Crystal Skull.

.. with, y'know, a different actor playing Indiana Jones.


/Batman and James Bond are 're-cast' every few films, and the world keeps turning

KingKauff: I must be the only Farker who actually liked the last I.J. movie.


Nah, I'm sure there are other Farkers with mental health problems.

'Cause every inch of that movie suuuuuuuuuuuucked.

I blame the scriptwriter for Indy IV. Lucas's generic idea of aliens is acceptable, but whoever penned the corny dialogue and lame action sequences should be shot, or err whipped.

Rather than play off of Indy's age, they took the opposite approach and put him through more rigors than any other Indy movie. I could not suspend my disbelief. Shia on the vines with monkeys? Marion purposefully driving over a cliff with a big smile on her face? Not even a little kid would believe that is plausible.

Not to mention the laziness in filming every jungle scene on a perfectly flat sound stage...
