    As always.....I'll keep fighting the good fight that says Indy 4 was a worthy sequel and will gain wider acceptance as time goes on. So with that being said, I'm very much in for further adventures from Jones Jr and Jones III.

    I don't know, Bass. Devotion has it's place, but the last Indy was pretty damned awful.

    That said, could the next be worse? Probably not, so if they won't let the franchise slip silently into movie history, then let's hope they turn it around on this next one.

    ditto, crystal skull was a worthy addition to a series thats a homage to the 30's/40's b movies. Though indys aged something fierce in the last 5 or years in real life so i wonder when there setting this to compensate.

    I'd still go with the old height of the cold war angle. But what adventure/artifact/mystery will be involved? I gotta read that article and see if they hint at all.

    Anything famously supernatural happen in the 60's? Although it still could be set in the 50's....

    "Indiana Jones and the Attack of the CGI 'Things'". Oh wait, after the last film they'll have to call it "Indiana Jones and the Attack of the CGI 'Things' 2".

    No thanks...

    While I agree that some of the CGI effects in Kingdom were pretty weak, to expect a film of this genre to be produced today WITHOUT CGI is just a pipe dream. It's time to face the facts that CGI is cheaper, quicker, and more available to films that require special effects. They're going to go with the fastest and easiest solution. That doesn't change the fact that some of the effects were weak, on that I agree, but CGI is here to stay. Has been for a long time. It's just a matter of how they use it.

    I have it on good authority that Lucas has said he's going to have Indy ride out a volcanic eruption in a bathtub just to see how many more of you he can piss off.

    Hey, the '60s featured the space race. I think Lucas will have Indy get launched into space, then escape from orbit by re-entering the atmosphere in an airsick bag.

    No crazier than jumping out of a plane in an inflating raft, slapping down onto a snowy mountain, surfing it down the side of a mountain, off a cliff edge, and crash landing into a river ... ... and then going over a waterfall ... and surviving. *Cough* Temple of Doom *Ahem*

    I watched the four Indy movies in succession last year and #4 totally fits like a glove. Shit, Raiders had a Nazi Monkey in it, and Crusade had Sean "Penitent Man" Connery taking down a fighter plane with an umbrella and a flock of seabirds.

    I for one enjoyed the batshit crazy Nuked Fridge ... methinks those who protest too much are blinded to the content of the original three, and indeed the sort of stuff that would happen in the serials that inspired the franchise in the first place.

    Temple of Doom is still my favorite (since the first is taken by my uncle, and the third by my mom). Plus, hey, chilled monkey brains, Asia, and Short Round.

    Filming next year? http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/film/...5875-23595836/

    Spielberg said using an alien – which they referred to as MacGuffin – in the plot led to fights in production.

    He said: “I sympathise with people who didn’t like the MacGuffin because I never liked the MacGuffin. George and I had big arguments.”
