Weapons of Class Destruction

From TheRaider.Net:

"While promoting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Shia LaBeouf mentions in a video interview with BBC News that a sequel to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is moving forward.

"Steven [Spielberg] just said that he cracked the story on it before I left and I think they're gearing that up," LaBeouf said.

Last summer's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was made for about $185 million and earned $786.6 million worldwide. It was the second-highest earner of 2008, behind just The Dark Knight."

No talk whether or not Harrison will be involved. I know there's a lot of bitching about KotCS (and if you didn't like it, live and let live, I always say! I also always say that I'll never recommend a movie to anyone again because my tastes seem to be... different.) but it was my second favorite Indy movie and I adore the character of Mutt, so this is extremely good news to me! So, hurrah!

ME: Well, it's Iron Man, Prince Caspian the next week and then Indy. We have to decide which ones we're going to because I don't think we can afford the tickets to all three.
SISTER: Well, we'll start to be able to afford...
ME: Nine bucks a pop?
SISTER: Well, a matinée show...
ME: I dunno, I think I'd rather be able to, you know, eat for the rest of the month.
SISTER: Yeah. *Suddenly brightening* Except for Indy! I'll eat ramen for weeks if I have to!

Yay! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull trailer to be released next week! Read about it here! Can I get a w00t! Alas, I assume it's going to be beofre Jumper, which I'd love to see but can't afford right now, so it'll be online for me. But here's a mini picspam of Indy IV goodness to celebrate!

( As always, spoilers )

That, by the way, was especially for my very bestest friend in the world, Shelley, for everything. Mostly for being my very bestest friend in the world!

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



( And a spoilery-ish observation )

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!

First off, a minor picspam of Shia and Harrison on set (squee, Shia in leather!) They obviously like each other; considering how cranky the Ford is, that was quite a nice surprise.
