The weekend's hardly over, but the writing's on the wall: Indy -sigh- 4 won at the box office. Almost as not surprising, recently renowned trilogy-diluter George Lucas mentioned plans to see if he can stretch the straining whip of Indiana Jones just a little bit further. Straight from the mouth of the bearded tube protruding from flannel:"I haven't even told Steven [Spielberg] or Harrison this, but I have an idea to make Shia [LaBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out."
You "can see it working out," eh? What gives you that impression? The tepid reception Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is getting? The fact that having a non-Indiana Jones lead in an Indiana Jones movie would remove the single expectation fans foolishly assumed you could consistently meet? The gust you felt across your beard as Earth sighed? I'm going to let this go for now, and hope this is Lucas's idea of a joke. Unfortunately, having seen all the Star Wars films, I know it's impossible that he could be that funny. Zing!
