Drew is da man!
It wouldn't be a proper Indiana Jones film without a Drew Struzan poster promoting it. And Mr. Struzan is back with this gorgeous painting:
And for all those young ne'er-do-wells who are moaning that Harrison is too old for this shit... piss off, I say, 'cos this film isn't being made for you. It's being made for greying, middle-aged farts like me!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...
Chris,
I've misplaced your email address. There's something I want to ask you. Can you please email me at joelmeadows@btinternet.com?
thanks
And I'm pretty excited about Indy too. I still remember seeing Raiders when I was about 8 years old at the cinema. The poster is rather lovely
The best was seeing RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK when it opened and having absolutely no clue as to what it was about when I took my seat in the theater. As a fan of the old serials, even at the tender age of sixteen, I was completely blown away.
Then came INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, by far the darkest in the series, and what would have been my favorite of the lot had it not been for the incredibly obnoxious Kate Capshaw character; I gave Short Round a pass since he was very much in the tradition of kids found in badass stuff like TERRY & THE PIRATES, but Willie was a sixth-rate Burma wannabe and she just didn't cut the mustard. I'm still convinced the only reason Jones found her attractive was due to her being conveniently located.
While others hated TEMPLE OF DOOM, the series entry that made me want to eat my own buttocks on live television was INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, a by-the-numbers dud that offered little and even made me want to punch Sean Connery, one of my heroes since childhood, square in the gob. And don't get me started on how the denoument with the knight defied where the story should logically have gone...
Anyway, I'm hoping the new one will be good and possibly cap off Indy's adventures. And even if it bites the big one it's still inevitably be better than the last three STAR WARS abortions.
Yeah, I'm a friggin' geek...
And is it just me, or does Indy look like Scott Bakula?
DREW sure is THE MAN when it comes to movie posters!
I was incredibly happy to hear last week that Karen Allen is back in this one! Ah, Marion Ravenwood! THE Indy femme fatale! And she still looks hot as all get out!
And for what it's worth, Kate Capshaw was more annoying than a tomb full of live Jar Jar Binkses! (What's the plural for Binks, anywho?) Talk about your major "poo doo!"
Since it's Spielberg, there's certainly a possibly that it'll be worthwhile. I'll certainly check it out.
I'm 28 and very much looking forward to this movie. I pretty much say the same thing to the naysayers but with the American version.
