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!

Peace, Ghani

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 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!

( On Shia love )

( Random dialogue on the hottness of Shia and director Edgar Wright )

( On Disturbia which will lead into the state of female characters in horror and the boy next door syndrome )

( And no rant would be complete without something about Ratner )
