dactah jones!

I am very wary about Indiana Jones 4.  It could be the hangover from Iron Man, but I’m also genuinely not that interested in seeing it.  Why?

1.  The trailer has way too much CGI.  And if the trailer has alot of CGI, I’m sure the movie has alot of CGI.  Simple logic and reasoning.  This is upsetting since the first three had amazing set pieces and live-action stunts.

2.  The title sucks.  Too long.  Too vague.  Doesn’t roll off the tongue well.

3.  Sidekicks suck.  Short round was annoying.  Shia Lebouf looks like he’s going to be annoying… especially since they’re OBVIOUSLY setting him up to be Harrison Ford’s successor.  Sean Connery was good as a sidekick though, but then again, that’s fucking Sean Connery.  He can play a pepper shaker and he’d kick ass.

4.  I cannot get the image of Harrison Ford with one earring out of my head.

 

 Maybe there’s a good reason Speilberg, Lucas, and company stopped after The Last Crusade.  Maybe this series should have looked at The Grail and gotten it’s face melted off after Crusade.  Or had its heart ripped out and then burst into flames.  

…damn, this new one better have at least three twisted deaths to justify the $15 ticket.
