BTW, is Sean Connery back as Prof. Jones senior in the new flick?

I heard he’s being replaced by George Lazenby….

HA!

Indiana Jones fights Commies next spring

More like Indy will probably be fighting “commie hunters” than actual commies. Since it’s supposed to be in “1957″ I can see Indy having to fight Tail-gunner Joe McCarthy (and brown-shirted minions) who is dastardly and secretly trying to revive his American commie-hunter Army – The story ends with Indy driving a stake through Tail-Gunner Joe’s heart; the US Government covers it up and makes it look like he died of alcoholism in Bethesda Naval Hospital. Indy also reveals that Tailgunner Joe is a secret Nazi who had infiltrated the US Marine Corps. With the information that Indy learns he is able to thwart the US Government’s plans to sabotage the Soviet Sputnik launch. Indy is declared a “Hero of the Soviet Union.” Meanwhile, in Indochina…

he was great in Last Crusade. Still one of my favorite lines — “you call THIS archaeology ?”

Apparently there’s an alien in the cast–something called a “Shia LaBeouf”. Are those the ones with the tentacles?

Only if there are Japanese Schoolgirls worked into the plot somehow. Otherwise, No.

;)

You know what? This movie will rock, because all the elements in this movie rock. Indy is back. Indy is one of the greatest on screen characters, ever. I saw Raiders almost as many times as Empire Strikes Back.

I hope he’s not wearing that same grungy hat.

Naw, he bought a new grungy hat.

6)Find his readng glasses.
7)Take one last trip to the loo.
8)Write a note to remind himself to stop by the market and pick up some Ex-Lax.
9)Write another note to remind himself about the first note.
10)Go back to the loo and finish what he started in #6.
11)Get his reading glasses out and re-read the two notes.
12)”What was I going out for?”

When last we saw Indy, he was riding off into the sunset in 1989’s The Last Crusade, set in 1938 near the start of World War II.

Actually or technically that statement is incorrect. Harrison Ford reprised (sp?) the role in 1993 for the episode in Young Indiana Jones. It was called Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues.

They say you don’t miss the water till the well runs dry. All this excitement about the new Indiana Jones movie made me think about the first one and how it fired up my imagination. It also made me think……

I’m going to see it. I will look forward to it. I hope it’s “just a movie”.

That’ll really suck if aliens are involved.

But can you have an Indy movie without nazis? Case/point: Temple of Doom. Besides Last Crusade was incredible, especially “tickets please!”.

including Oscar winner Cate Blanchett as the seductive Agent Spalko

Hahaha – now that may be the biggest stretch. She’s just downright scary looking :shudder:

the character has aged in real time — 19 years.

I hope he’s not wearing that same grungy hat.
