An open letter to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg...

[Trevolver]

I think the title kicks a$$! I really do! Just learned about it this morning.

And I'm pretty confident from what I've seen that this is going to be a film that i love! bring on Indy!

Oh man...this is so funny...that open letter is hilarious!!!
You're kidding right?...

It's just a title!!! It's just a movie!!...come on!

DekaDave,telling it like it is,as always.

He isn't telling it like it is. He's just being his usual whiny self who acts like movies need to be tailored to his exact specifications. He needs to let his childhood grow-up and get over it already.

"Uncle DekaDave" can suck it. I'm looking forward to Indy 4 thankyouverymuch!

You're lucky Steven and George come here to Sideshow FREAKS so often. Because, ya know, otherwise... they may not see your 'open' letter. They could be making movies and making the world a better place and entertaining millions of people. Yeah, that would suck.

Well said! Couldn't agree more.

My sentiments exactly.

just as i did this i saw yours !!!

As much money as I have given to Luca$ I'd say I have something to say about how I like to see my Indy. If George wants to keep embarrassing himself with lazy titles and half-assing his films that pale compared to his original works that's his perogative but all he is doing is alienating the fans that have supported him and his empire. I'm not standing in line to see Geriatric Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Kidney Stones. I'll download it for free and save my wallet and my conscience the grief.

Dude, all of the titles for the INDY and SW flicks are like this. This is nothing different or new at all.

We are just no longer shielded by the naivety and innocence of youth.

It's a decent title that both fits events in the film as well as the pulpy 30's serial nature that the INDY franchise was created as an homage to first and foremost. We'll get used to it.

(Though I admit I do still hate "The Phantom Menace" as a title for a SW film)

And come on, Dave, you know you want to head over to $W$ and purchase the brand new t-shirt:

Sounds fine to me--like something Indy would be looking for:

One of my favorite pieces of Indy memorabilia is the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom one-sheet I have framed with Indy, shirt torn, face scratched, standing with the kaibur sword in hand at the temple entrance. That one-sheet sums up everything that Indy stands for. The title is simple and it just kicks ass. Perhaps he should have called it Indiana Jones Versus the Temple of Doom. You can still have a simple, kitchy title that means business and not sound like a kiddie bedtime story.

I must say that I can't stand this title. Campy is cool, but this is taking it to a new level entirely... AND it's ridiculously long. At least Temple of Doom was simple. And lots of doom happens in temples. And the Lost Ark and Last Crusade are 'historical' things that most people are familiar with... Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sounds like a horrible Saturday AM cartoon series from the 80s that got cancelled after one season so no one remembers it.

In other news, the Iron Man trailer is really freakin' awesome!!!
