Casualties of the Clone War

Posted on Sep 3, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

The Clone Wars is considered the fourth consecutive bomb in the Star Wars franchise. But the prequel trilogy, for all its flaws, had many redeeming qualities.

Indiana Jones Rides Again

Posted on May 29, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

I'd heard rumors of a fourth Indiana Jones film since before George Lucas set out to diminish the Star Wars universe with three prequels. Now that he's fulfilled that undertaking, I worried he may have set his sights on a similar fate for the other franchise that made Harrison Ford a household name two decades…

The Skull That Wouldn't Die

Posted on Feb 14, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull recently wrapped filming — just in time to precede today's opening of The Spiderwick Chronicles with this blessedly spoiler-free trailer: On one hand, this preview doesn't offer many clues about the plot, Karen Allen's return, or Indy's relationship to Shia LaBeouf. But on the other hand,…

The Screaming Skull

Posted on Sep 10, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Several titles have been bandied about for the next Indiana Jones film. Some may've been tongue-in-check references to its aging cast, such as Ravages of Time. Others, such as The City of the Gods, suggested a continuation of the first and third films' theme of searching for Biblical artifacts. Finally, today we are presented with…

Over My Dead Body

Posted on Aug 2, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

From IndianaJones.com's video entitled "Indy Arrives", dated 07.11.2007, I took this shot of Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and George Lucas: Compare Lucas' shirt to this one: WTF is George Lucas doing wearing a "Han Shot First" shirt?! He's the last person I ever expected to be seen in such a thing… It's further proof that…

"Who's gonna come to save you, Junior?"

Posted on Jun 7, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Straight from the horse's mouth: Sean Connery will not appear in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, as stated today on the official site for the film: I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it and if anything could have pulled me…

The Circle Is Now Complete

Posted on May 25, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

At last, this is the day we've all been counting down to: the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. On May 25th, 1977, A New Hope debuted, forever changing the scape of film and American culture. I don't remember Star Wars having ever been in the news this much — not even when the prequels were…
