Indiana Jones 4 - The Movie

[Matt]

...anyway, Blanchett WILL be the love interest.

 

You never know.  In the last film, The Love Interest turned out to be one of The Bad Guys, in the end.

Uh-oh. . .

Cate Blanchett is the baddie in the film, and she’s been seen in the last week running around in a Soviet military uniform

 The news that Karen Allen would be back as Marion Ravenwood is accurate and truth be told, a few online sites had been sitting on this information for close to a month, no real shocker.

Shia LaBeouf is a teenage motorcycle riding greaser, true.

Shia LaBeouf is the son of Marion Ravenwood and Indiana Jones, true.

Indy doesn’t find out about being a daddy until after he and Shia have been teamed up for a while and during a pivotal scene, true.

Most fans already guessed that stuff by now though.

Links are nice.

Our buddies at Cool Toy Review are reporting that LEGO will be making Indy 4 toys.

Now, personally, I couldn't care less about LEGO stuff, but this is good news--as it could possibly mean that other Indy toys are forthcoming. . .

The Raider is where I got my info from.

Looks like Connery won't be back for Indy IV:

Looks like Connery won't be back for Indy IV:

Good.  Like I mentioned before, there's nothing left for his character to do, anyway.

That, along with some other IJ4 casting news, was posted on the official IJ site today:

The Indiana Jones Cast Expands

I guess the other real news is that British actor John Hurt has been added to the cast.



He's best-known (to me, at least), as the guy with a slight tummy ache in Alien, but he's been in a ton of other films, too.  He should make for a good bad guy, I'd think. . .

well, he could die in the film

[Angry Ewok]

I could roll with him dying, but only if his corpse disappears and his spirit speaks to Junior.

Not even in voice only?

I could see moments where Indy is struggling and he hears Junior,junior in his ear.

[Matt]

well, he could die in the film

Not anymore, he couldn't. 

But yeah, that's the only thing left for his character to do--and that can be easily handled off-screen.

And it means that his last on-screen appearance was riding off into the sunset with Sallah and Brody at the end of Last Crusade--which is much more fitting for the character.

Sean Connery handled that with a lot of class. 

Plus Indy's dad can't die, because he's drunk from the Holy Grail.

Continuity, you dildos.  Continuity.

...But that's only if he doesn't cross the threshold.  Once the threshold's been crossed the immortality thing goes away.   Right?   I haven't watched it in a few years.

(...and how did you guess my wife's pet name for me?)

That is correct.

That's how the old knight was able to live for so long, but the other knight (his brother?) died after he left the temple.

He's also been handling a lot of ass lately. . .  as in your mother's!



Suck on it, Trebek.

Plot comprehension, you dildo.  Plot comprehension.

Wasn't that awesome when Dr. Jones chased the flock of dildo's into that Messerschmidt?
