I really like the kid they picked for the movie also. He was great in Transformers and Disturbia...good move on the producers. That kid (even though I cant ever remember his name LOL) will help with box office cuz the Disney crowd likes him. My son has never wanted to see these movies even after going on the ride at Disney but he wants to see this one cuz of that kid LOL

Years ago, we pulled names for Christmas with Darren's family and his step father got mine. He got me a book on George Lucas, half the book was on Star Wars and half on Indiana Jones. Totally cool book, had early storyboards, pictures, and behind the scene stories from both movies and I was touched because it was one of the rare times anyone in Darren's family had talked to me enough to find out what interested me. Anyways, one of the stories about Harrison Ford was from the raiders movie. There's the scene where he's in the street fighting the dude with a sword and dude does all the fancy moves with it. After a bit, Indie pulls out his gun and shoots him. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip in that scene, but he had food poisoning and wanted to go lay down. He tried the scene as it was originally written and then either he or someone else suggested using the gun and Spielberg liked it so much he kept it. That scene had always cracked me up, but after reading that I had a new appreciation for how great it was.

War, they filmed/rehearsed that scene over and over until Harrison, who had a bad case of stomach cramps, pulled his gun and shot the guy so he could run to the bathroom. You know how they cut out scenes because actors get goofy? Spielberg loved it, kept it, and it turned out to be one of the funniest parts of the movie! Am looking forward to the new Indiana Jones!

I just dropped the first movie into my queue. I want to show it to DD in case she's tall enough to ride next time we're at Disneyland. I'd like to watch all 3 before the new film comes out, but not sure I'll get around to it... This is a must see in a theater! Can't wait! War, that book sounds fascinating. I may need to go see if Amazon has it. I love reading movie insider stuff.

I can't imagine how long that will take with all the commercials they will throw in! DD and I watched Raiders the previous weekend and the second one (temple of doom?) this weekend. The second one was not that good. I don't appreciate kids in danger kind of movies. Seems like this movie kind of missed the mark. We'll watch part 3 next weekend and then I'll be read for 4 on the big screen!

Yes, it will take until around 10 pm for all three, but they will also show a couple of them the following morning, too. Anyway, if you don't have it on DVD already it will be an opportunity to see them.

Was #2 the one with Short Round? I loved that kid - he is my second favorite - after Sean Connery of course!

Associated Press article (from Yahoo! News) about Real Life Skull Worshipping that might have inspired the new Indy movie

Sci Fi channel is showing the first three movies Sunday (USA did this weekend.) I think it's at 9pm Sunday night they are having a show on the crystal skulls. Here is the link. Hopefully it's not too cheesy and is balanced between experts, conspiracy theories, and myth.

I had never seen part 3 and it was on USA yesterday, I tried to watch but it was nothing like the Indiana I knew. I found it rather boring. It looks like this new Indiana will be more like 1 and 2. I cant wait!

Part 3 was great! Maybe try renting it. I don't think I could stomach an Indiana Jones movie chopped up with commercials. Part 3 had a lot of sly humor. I liked it a lot better than part 2.

hmmmm I will try that. besides the commercials I was only half watching, I based my judgement on the fact that none of the scenes I saw made me want to stop what I was doing and go sit and watch.

Oh man Pamy, I love the last crusade so much better than Temple of Doom. The whole Sean Connery thing and all probably.
