Man, if MadTV or Saturday Night Live doesn’t do a parody with a geezer Indy shuffling around, they’ve missed a trick. That skit would write itself. ---

If they don’t hurry up and get the film made, by the time it come out, they won’t need a skit of a geezer Indy…the film will have a geezer Indy. Hey Harrison Ford, look at Sean Connery in _Entrapment_, this will be your future. Stretching credibility too far in an action/caper flick and playing second fiddle to Catherine Zeta-Jones and her ass (okay, so that part’s not bad). ---

What will this movie be like? Hint - the script writer also did “The Green Mile.” I guess that chair isn’t gonna be so comfy after all.

You guys! Hah! Some of that stuff is really funny shit! But just you wait… one day YOU will all be old buggers and then we’ll see how cocky you are, huh? I gotta admit though - George Lucas has really lost his Midas touch recently, hasn’t he? Can I refresh you all of a certain special moment in the original “Raiders of the Lost Ark”? It was when the ark was in a wooden crate half way thru the film and it was being transported on a ship over the Atlantic. You might remember the crate was branded with a Nazi logo and slowly, the ethereal powers of the Ark burnt the logo off the wood from the inside and almost burnt the rats which were standing near by. OK… so why do I mention this? Because that one scene made the film way, way more than just an adventure film - it introduced the viewer to “powers greater than you possibly imagine” and as film direction goes, it was totally a brilliant moment in cinema. Oddly, for some reason which I just can’t fathom, Lucas in particular has totally lost the plot. Mr Spielberg still makes films as good as “Schindler’s List” but Lucas? He’s fallen into this stupid trap of thinking special effects can rescue anything - and worse, he’s forgotten how to exploit the magic power of making a viewer afraid of the ‘unknown’ - which is what the ‘burning Nazi logo’ represented you see. So, what I’m getting at is this - if George Lucas could just pull his head out of his “Industrial Light and Magic” ass for long enough - he and Mr Spielberg could really tap into some special stuff which happened in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s - they could tap into the same mystical sense of history as the original film and truly do something special. And do ya know what would happen if they did that? Harrison Ford could possibly make the highlight of his career - a film about a jaded former adventurer who gets called back into action against all his better judgement. But does anyone care to take bets that George Lucas will go this route? No way guys. Don’t be surprised if poor old Indiana ends up fighting alongside Ja Ja Blinks. ---
