I'm so freaking excited for this movie now. I just watched Raiders last night for the first time in about 2 years. What a brilliant, perfect movie! Scene after scene of classic, iconic sequences of all-time great cinema. Indy switching the sandbag for the idol, his slow head turn as the boulder begins rolling, his banter with Marion, the widely diverse cast of characters, the stunts, the music, "I don't know I'm making this up as I go...." AWESOME.
After seeing the teaser poster for Crystal Skull and watching Raiders I am 100% on board for a new movie. If you ignore everything you know about Harrison Ford post-80's (Six Days Seven Nights, Hollywood Homicide, Calista Flockhart, the earring...) and just take him as he is in ROTLA I don't know how you can think he would *not* make a badass old guy.
Its not like Indy was ever about cartwheels and karate kicks. He throws round house punches, crashes vehicles into people and even as a young guy he cheats when he fights! Biting, blowing guys away instead of "dueling" them, hiding in crowds of children, you name it. An old guy can do all of those things, heck you'd *expect* him too.
Indy rocks, Ford rocks, Spielberg and Lucas, yeah they rock. And so does that new poster.
Bring on May 22nd!
