Stop the Madness!

Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull???

Why do I smell George Lucas, Mr. Attack of the Clo(w)nes himself, behind this title?

Not that the titles of the previous three installments are by any means low-key, but sheesh. This is downright silly. In a Springtime for Hitler kind of way. Which I don't think is intentional.

George Lucas can kiss my ass. No wait, I don't want him going anywhere near my ass. And they should have made this movie ten years ago. Sorry, I'm one of those people that didn't "get" The Mighty Ducks. :(

Excuse me. I'm drunk. I meant Howard the Duck. Pfft.

But what about Willow? Um, I have to admit, that I actually liked Howard the Duck as a child. But it's one of those movies that I would never, ever, ever try to watch now, because I have this suspicion that it's really a terrible film. I mean, Lea Thompson as a rock star = too 80s to live. Then again, I've not been able to bring myself to watch Willow since childhood either.

I have no respect for George Lucas whatsoever. He achieved a filmmaker's dream - financial independence from studios - & then did nothing, absolutely nothing, with it, except make more Star Wars movies eventually. Less a fierce iconoclast than a clucking hen jealously sitting on her "nest" of ducats.
