So, part of Hollywood's continuing quest to recapture my early childhood for me (without ruining too much of it) has been making Indiana Jones 4. Anyone who reads this page knows I'm so irrationally excited about Indiana Jones 4 that I'm like a 9 year old on a sugar rush every time new photos or videos come out. Well, the most recent video I saw was this one over at indianajones.com, and at the end of the video (the screenshot above) you see Ford, Speilberg and Lucas together laughing it up, and if you look closely at the shirt Lucas is wearing, it's a "Han Shot First" T-shirt.
What the hell is up with that. I do like that Lucas has a sense of humor and all, but off all the changes Lucas made to the original Star Wars films, the only one that actually makes me upset is that he made that green Greedo guy shoot first.
Is this further proof that the end of the world is nigh? If so, I can only hope it ends after Indiana Jones 4 comes out next May.
UPDATE: I'm obviously not the first person to notice this, and one thing I learned since I posted is that Lucas is selling the damn shirts himself. JUST PUT THE SCENE BACK, DICK.
Uggh... anyway geek rant over. There's lots more going on in the world much more important than this.
from HERE via digg, there's a bunch of new pictures and a short video from the set of indiana jones on location in Connecticut. It's probably centered around the school where he teaches, as 2 of the other 3 movies more or less open with a few minutes of Indy-as-teacher footage.
There's also a first day of shooting video over on indianajones.com, so that's cool too. Can't wait for this one, maybe I can be frozen like cartman until this comes out next year.
God I loved the Indiana Jones movies. More than Star Wars, More than Superman, more than Batman. Indiana Jones combines simple themes of good and evil with great story and dialogue, though it helps that no one delivers a line or improvises one like Harrison Ford.
I mean, lets face it, Temple of Doom is a pretty lame film. The opening is great, and the Indian sacred rock story is pretty cool, but Kate Capshaw and the karate kicking boy are pretty stupid. Though perfect for the Goonies, Data shouldn't have been in an Indiana Jones movie. And Kate Capshaw is alright, but her character is an annoying bitch. I know the Jones movies are supposed to be kid friendly adventures, but the greatest thing about the first movie was that it was soft around the language and violence edges while still being sophisticated and adult.
I can only hope that Lucas and Spielberg don't ruin this film the way the Matrix 2 and 3 or the Star Wars prequels were ruined, but I don't think it will be, I think it's going to be great. My optimism comes from the irrational George Lucas brainwashing chip inside my head (I had to agree to have it installed as a condition of buying the special edition star wars trilogy on DVD). He assures me all this film needs to be great is Harrison Ford (and ILM special effects). Since he's in it, (and ILM is doing the special effects) that pretty much takes care of that.
Anyway, seriously, this movie should be awesome as long as it isn't filled with jokes like "It's not the mileage honey, it's the years." But, if it is filled with stuff like that, it will probably suck. I guess we'll find out on 5.28.08
