I choose not to live in fantasy land where the movie I approve of gets made. CS is what we got- watch it or don't.
Jeeze! It's not OUR character!!!
Example: I don't care for Kirk having a son in Star Trek, so I don't watch those movies very often- I go with TMP & Undiscovered Country usually, the series more often than that...but I'm not gonna rip Trek movies apart for the direction that I PERSONALLY would not have taken (although I might go off a little on Khan's hair & the obvious lack of hairspray on Ceti-Alpha Six...heh heh).

Perhaps the need to prove that the critic's taste is so evolved and enlightend that almost nothing is good enough for him/her?
Something is wrong with the world and people don't know who's bad decisions are to blame. People are angry at George Lucas and they don't really know precisely why. I know why. Lucas had a near perfect script rewritten to make room for actor Shia LaBeouf, pronounced hoo-tha-fuk-nose, the bastard son of Indy. People, not thinking clearly, attack Lucas with their little fists and beat him to a bloody pulp while "picking apart every last detail" - it is ugly and disgusting to watch the mob attack. Because Lucas doesn't read, he'll never feel the attack. When a real expert criticizes George Lucas, it is beautiful and delightful to read. http://mysterymanonfilm.blogspot.com/2008/06/50-strengths-of-darabonts

It is not hatred or modern cynicism. People are striking out wildly and irrationally, futilely hoping to hurt the leaders who are to blame. Kind of like Mal and Zoe, but with a much lower rate of success.

Am I the only one concerned with just how seriously some folk are taking this Indy film?
I know this is a cliché but really if you guys think you can do better - really, DO BETTER. Otherwise it's all just hot air and nonsense....
I'm challenging any of you out there who think you know what to have done with Indy 4, to write a two page treatment for Indy 5. Just two pages or more if you like - your choice.... Let me see who can do it? Lets see what you geniuses can come up with?
I'll be totally honest with you - if I think it's great I'll say so. Hand to my heart. No bull. I'll gladly eat humble pie...
...Because I'm all manner of perplexed with people so bizarely angry at Lucas and what he chose to do with HIS own creation... It's just plain weird.

Will the real George Lucas please submit a two page treatment for Indy 5? Everyone can enter the contest. The prize is having your treatment made into Indy 5. TheSomnambulist will judge the winner. Lucas is allowed to hire anyone (even Joss Whedon) to write his entry. Please remember, no one but Lucas can win. It is the primary rule. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

I've got a Indy 5 treatment where actor Shia LaBeouf, the bastard son of Indy, is raped by Reavers, skinned alive, then eaten. I can't submit it until I figure out how to get a PG-13 rating for an inherently NC-17 concept.

Better concept for the next Indy movie: Shia LaBeouf, Indy's bastard, is captured and raped by Reavers, causing him to become one. Indy rescues him, uses bull whip to re-normalize Shia. When that fails, Indy puts a bullet between his son's eyes. Very sad moment for Indy. There is an Oscar in that for George Lucas and no more Shia LaBeouf in Indy 6. Do I win a prize? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000184/awards
