Some stuff

Thanks to shawnawitter for this:

Yay, finally, a still from Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Clicky on the thumbnail to view full:




And a confirmation of Shia's character being named "Mutt":



I would put money, lots and right now, on his real name being Henry Jones III!


I'm getting tired of reading fans running Shia down: "He's going to ruin the movies!"; "He's an awful actor, he's going to suck the life out of it!"; "Why did they need a popular teeny-bop star in it." Whine, whine, whine. Though the phrase "teeny-bop" is my own and proof that I'm getting really old! ;-P I was excited when Shia was cast; even though I was opposed to the idea of a son at first, I think he's a great actor with loads of charm and if anyone could pull it off and make a fantastic edition to Indy canon, it was him! Now, I understand if people are indifferent or just don't care for him all that much; you always have to allow for personal tastes. But this fuss that he's going to single-handedly kill the movie is absurd.

And some more goodies--Jeffrey Dean Morgan from People's Sexiest Man issue:



That's, um, that's some story he's got! =-O Especially compared to Bradley Cooper's:



Whose story is rather mundane despite the fact he has the most and the most prominent; he just can't compete with JDM's. I don't know if many people could! Ha!

Peace, Ghani

Yeah, Lucas has heard "You suck!" for years; he's been blamed for ruining movies (studios supposedly stopped caring about quality movies and became all about FX and money when SW came out), for ruining sci-fi (since sci-fi was supposedly so much better before SW came along), and of course, he's "ruined" SW with Ewoks, Jar Jar, etc., and made SW "dumb and kiddie" when it had previously been deep, adult-oriented, and serious.

Of course, at the same time, we're supposed to think Lucas is surrounded by people who kiss his ass, that he systematically weeded out all the pesky "naysayers" who "had the guts to stand up to him."

Seems to me that if fanboyz hate Lucas so much and thinks he sucks so bad, it'd be very easy for them to stop spending their time and money on what he puts out.
