Hello?

It’s been a bit quiet at the Misc.Asst. factory lately, but we do have a few new contributors who, hopefully, will actually contribute. Myself, well, I’ve been holding off. But I cannot any longer. I’ve got important random things to post about.

Wait. No I don’t. Except for one thing.

Indiana Jones and the Gratuitous Sequel is on.

From Newsvine (taken from a SpielbergFilms.com article):

Unless some very powerful fates finally conspire to do Indiana Jones in once and for all (and he’s beat some pretty tough foes in his day), the long-awaited fourth film in the “Indiana Jones” franchise is full speed ahead for production this year (and release next year, according to series creator George Lucas).

With that, I headed over to SpielbergFilms.com to read the full thing. There wasn’t much more to say, apparently:

While director Steven Spielberg remained largely silent on his work on “Indiana Jones IV” during the busy days on War of the Worlds and Munich, Spielberg finally broke the silence in a recent interview with Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

“I haven’t given up making entertaining films, but over the last decade I have been making some films that express the respect I have for history,” Spielberg said.

“I am about to make Indiana Jones 4, which is, as far as I am concerned, the sweet dessert I give those who had to chow down on the bitter herbs that I’ve used in Munich.”

I think that about says enough to set the ‘net ablaze with talk tonight!

Now, as a fan of the Jones series, I’m quite excited. However, I have this dark foreboding fear that this could totally suck. I’m not sure that anything can beat the Ford/Connery duo and awesome story of The Last Crusade.

Wait – The Last Crusade, eh?

I guess the word “last” has a lot of different definitions.
