La di da.

oh there's no doubt about whether i'm seeing this now

Karen Allen was sitting next to me while I was eating dinner at Chateau Marmont the other night. She seemed nice and had a David Mamet book.

A little more from Karen Allen:

In July, she was on location — she can't say where — for three weeks. She will return — she can't say where — in two weeks for a longer stint, through October.

Meanwhile, she has been getting buffed up in the gym with daily workouts.

"You want to get in shape for all kinds of reasons: You want to look good, and it's physically demanding, and you need stamina and energy," said Allen, 55, who has practiced yoga for years. "I put my iPod on and boogie."

Asked about her new/old role as Marion Ravenwood (whose bar, "The Raven," burned down in a prior episode), she still can't comment much.

"It's an action-adventure role, because that's really the nature of these films. They are shot-out-of-a-cannon kinds of films — there is a lot going on from the moment it starts until the moment it ends," she said.

what has she been doing post-Indy?

What, you never saw Starman? The full article also says:

Allen, a veteran of 35 films, including "Animal House," "A Perfect Storm" and "Starman," now owns Karen Allen Fiber Arts, a Great Barrington business that produces and sells cashmere knitwear and accessories. She keeps in the movie business as her life permits.

haha the raven

Forgot about Starman. Yeah, she's always seemed amazingly self-possessed.

she was awesome in scrooged too... SWOON.

inclusion of Karen Allen actually kinda makes me wanna see this

oh hell yeah

Lucas, 63, has registered six possible titles with the MPAA one of
which will eventually be the long awaited movies title.

The proposed titles are:-

- Indiana Jones & the City of Gods
- Indiana Jones & the Destroyer of Worlds
- Indiana Jones & the Fourth Corner of the Earth
- Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- Indiana Jones & the Lost City of Gold
- Indiana Jones & the Quest for the Covenant

- Indiana Jones & the Destroyer of Worlds

"Indy, set off the A-bomb, quick!"

knowing lucas it's going to be the gaudiest, most ungainly title of the bunch

aka indiana jones and the stany walrus of justice

*stanky

aka LATEBLOOMER AND THE BOTCHED SHITTY HA-HA

Today on the 31 DAYS OF SPIELBERG blog, the class of the bunch:

As for why Lucas was pushing for a much darker, stronger tone to this movie (with strong, graphic violence and a narrative involving black magic, torture and slavery), he was going through a divorce at the time and has said that he just simply “wasn’t in a very good mood.”

God, Karen Allen looks good for 55.

agreed, fabulous

It's official, as everyone suffering through the VMAs saw:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

So now we know why Damien Hirst made this:

Hooray!

Here's Wikipedia on the actual crystal skull phenomenon:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skull

So go nuts.

Don't forget the last Mastodon record. Here's the relevant excerpt from the decibel interview:

"My original idea was that getting to the top of Blood Mountain and obtaining the crystal skull, you would put the crystal skull inside your own head and eliminate the reptile brain, the primitive brain that turns you into a wild beast or brings out that evil in you. Like, for example, when you’ve drank a lot of alcohol,” he laughs."

Okay, now you have me imagining Mastodon doing the Indy theme in my head. And this is not a bad thing.

Finally, two of my loves intersect!

DUN-DAH-DUN-DUN
DUN-DUN-DAAAAAAAH

(I actually have a bad ass Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom poster framed on my wall. My least favorite of the films, but the poster is cool. I am going to see if I can dig it up. Be back in a sec.)

WAHT

I take it you mean the title and not Jeff's poster (which is indeed great, I still remember seeing that one at movie theaters and getting impatient for it).

exactly. there is no question that the sword represents his cock

Dun-dah-dun-dun

Machete, technically. It's a machete that represents his cock.

whatever it is it makes the vadge look like that limply hanging whip when he's done

Oh, so the whip represents his good-natured affability I suppose?

no. see previous post.

Indiana Jones and the Secrets of Dr. Freud

aaaaaand the new title is released

duh, i are late. oh well

Indiana Jones and the Tomb Studio Robbers

John Hurt, the new ungrateful Alec Guinness:

"I enjoyed working with Steven hugely, and we had a great cast. I just wish we'd had something of fabulous interest between each other to act!"

"George is a bit socially crippled, really. Not good with people. So I just left him alone."

http://www.premiere.com/features/4335/q-a-exclusive-john-hurt-on-indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull.html

We looked into it and there were various things about it — like the time I had to be on set — where I thought, "No, this isn't going to work out." But then I was advised by everybody that it'd be a good thing to do.

I said, "Well, I need to have a little bit of previous knowledge even if God is doing it." So they sent a courier over with the script from Los Angeles, gave it to me at three o'clock in the afternoon in London, collected it again at eight o'clock in the evening, and he returned the next day to Los Angeles. So that was an expensive read.
