I wouldn't say that "Indiana Jones" is that much better.  We're just used to it. 

Anyway ... the name "Indiana" came from Lucas' dog.  Perhaps that dog was a "mutt".

Remember that Raiders wasn't initially released with the "Indiana Jones" logo, it was just "Raiders of the Lost Ark."  After it hit and they did two sequels, then Indy got the highlight.

This isn't really "news" since it's the cover from a couple issues ago, but it was new to me and I haven't seen it posted here:

Ford, Shai, Spielberg, & Lucas were on the news this morning being interviewed and I just couldn't stop laughing when Papa George said to go out and by each Indy DVD seperately.  Does this guy not have enough money?  Anyways......what the hell happend to that man's neck   ???

I saw that this morning as well (by the way, is Diane Sawyer not the worst interviewer ever for this type of stuff?) - and it seemed everyone was very friendly and complimentary with one another.  I agree, George looked a little different today - what is going on with that hair? :P  Oh well, at least he made fun of himself a bit though "I'm the only one here that doesn't fit into their pants from back then".

Since Shai was in diapers "back then," I doubt that's true.

Indiana Jones' debut survives Cannes critics.

Indiana & the Crystal Skull made it's debut at the Cannes film festival May 18th. A lot of mixed reviews but meh, we the fans are the reviewers.  ;)

You can check out the pic's from Cannes before the film in the linky below.

IGN has their review up (from Cannes), and its not exactly glowing either.  Not an all-out bashing, but not overly positive either.  Like Dale mentioned, early reviews often don't matter to me either - as a lot of my favorite movies are ones that reviewers don't necessarily like.  Plus, it seems like they are often ready to "pounce" on movies like this (and Star Wars, comic books, or anything "fun") - particularly the national media reviewers.  We'll find out this week (we've got our tickets for Thursday afternoon) :).

Take a look at Rotten Tomatoes.  The film is being recived very well, especially for a 27 year old franchise with 4 entries.

This ones going to be fun.

This type of movie never gets good reviews, hell, I remember that Siskel and Ebert hated the first Star Wars movie.

I'm looking forward to the new Indy movie and it should be great!
This is the way.

Reading IGN's there real quick, their main gripe seems to be too much CGI ruined IJ (sound familiar?  I believe people say the same thing about the prequals and I don't personally agree with it), and some of the characters weren't necessary, or were outright crowbarred into the film... 

Eh, I think the review could be worse...  it didn't touch much on the story being bad.
