Indiana Jones 4 - The Abridged Script

I've written about the-editing-room.com before, but when I read their latest masterpiece, an abridged script of Indiana Jones 4, I couldn't stop laughing. Here's a sample:

HARRISON FORD
What are we doing in the Amazon?

KAREN ALLEN
Cate wants to return the Crystal MacGuffin to the ancient City of Gold.

HARRISON FORD
City of Gold? Isn’t that what Nicolas Cage was looking for in National Treasure 2? Are we seriously getting the plot for our shitty sequel to Indiana Jones by ripping off the plot of a shitty sequel to a shitty knock-off of Indiana Jones? I feel like that should unravel the space-time continuum or something.

I had a great, geek weekend

It was a great weekend to be a geek. My new t-shirts from split reason came in.  They have some really cool stuff on their site.  The shirts are high quality, but the one complaint I have, is that the Donkey Kong graphic is along the lower side of the shirt and not on the chest area. It's a minor quibble, but I wish they would have let me know somewhere on their website. It's still really cool though

I also received the Indiana Jones Monopoly game. Instead of houses and hotels, you use Idols and Arks. I love the packaging on this thing.  Usually, I hate these themed games, because you are basically buying the same game over and over, with different art on the board. BUT, this one is an exception. I hope the movie is good. There are a bunch of reviews out from the first screenings, and the reviews are at best ok, and some are pretty harsh. I have been keeping a low expectation level, so that hopefully, I will just enjoy the film for what it is.

Indiana Jones - The Musical

There is a fine line between madness and genius and I am not sure where this falls. What do you think?

First look at the Crystal Skull from Indiana Jones 4

This is said to be a picture of the actual prop used on the set of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I got the photo from the people at Movieweb.com

I have to admit, I am nervous about this one. Aliens? I know Indy has always dealt with the fringe supernatural/spiritual elements, but Aliens? Hmmm...I will go see it, as Indy has a special place in my childhood geekdom, but this one is not grabbing me yet. I think the trailer is going to be crucial with this one. What do you think?

Taters of the Lost Ark

This may be the greatest toy of all time. I need to get one of these. Indiana Jones in Taters of the Lost Ark! He comes with a bullwhip, jacket, fedora and a gold idol that looks like a Mr. Potato Head!

It will be announced at the 2008 Toy Fair in New York

In other Indy News, word is that the film is locked down (completely edited) and John Williams is currently writing the score. Producer Frank Williams had this to say about the film "I would say it's closest to the third one (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It's all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don't have a Short Round and I think the banter between the characters is as fun as it was in the third movie".

Here is a new picture from the film. Indy looks to be holding a bazooka.


It's from the latest issue of Empire Magazine that is out Friday, Feb. 1st.

Indiana Jones 4 has finished filming

It's a wrap for Indiana Jones 4. All filming is complete and the film will come out next summer. I hope my nostalgia for the series overwrites my fear that Ford may not be able to pull this off at his age. I liked Shia Lebouf in "Transformers", though I didn't like the film much...but what is that pornstache on his face? It's a molestache (credit to Cara for that word). http://www.indianajones.com/
