There is some news that just gets swept under in the grand scheme of things, even if it's Twittered about and - as we all know - everyone in the world reads that pile of tripe. Even news about Lucasarts classics being remade and re-released on one of those new-fangled 'digital distribution' platforms, called 'Steam', or something, which has suffered in the wake of the news of Michael Jackson's death. Wait - what do you mean Michael Jackson is dead?! We hadn't heard. Three hundred times a day. For the last four months. Yes, since before he had even died.
For once it would appear that there's some good news about Shia LaBeouf - both with regards to his mangled hand and his movie career. In news sure to bring a smile to The Beef's little face, it turns out that his recent car accident will not result in the amputation of his little finger, as has been reported all over the world of the superstars these last couple of days. While the rumours were rampant that Shia himself had told producers on Transformers 2 that he would have to have his Beef pinky removed, these have been greeted by his rep as being 'fabricated' and 'totally untrue'. Which is good for him. What's good for everyone else in the world, though, is the news that George Lucas has seemingly gone back on his original statement that Shiny McBeef would be the new Indiana Jones. For the first time in what would appear to be an absolute age, Lucas seems to have made 'the right decision'. Obviously he followed it up with another bad decision immediately thereafter, but you have to really learn to love those small victories.
The hot and cold weather for this week. Folded: Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (loved the start...) The Inbetweeners (E4 hits the spot with a hilariously crass new sitcom. Think lots of mum jokes and you’re there) Suntory Japanese Whiskey (not half bad, and now available in Tesco) Dpad magazine (slickly made online games ...
George Lucas has come up yet with another plan to convince you to hand over your hard earned money to him. After he made millions with Indiana Jones 1, he sat down for a while, thought about what to do next and came up with Indiana Jones 2. It worked. But what next? He sat down for a while, thought about what to do next and came up with Indiana Jones 3. Incredible. How was he to beat that? It wasn't easy. For twenty years he brooded, furrowing his brow and scratching his little beard, and finally his eureka moment came: Indiana Jones 4. But, people asked, what about the fact that Indiana Jones will be far too old? Don't worry, said George, if we make jokey references to it throughout the film no one will care. Wow, he's good. What next? George says 'how about Indiana Jones...5, with Shia Labeouf as the lead?' Time to retire George.
Archaeologists have made a stunning discovery.
After weeks of carefully sifting through piles of rubbish, they came across a fossil that they saw as another useless dinosaur, but wait! It’s not just a useless dinosaur; it’s a useless dinosaur with an earring! It must be Harrison Ford. The discovery was confirmed by the presence of a frail skeleton next to the fossil that was classified as ‘the old dinosaur’s girlfriend, Calista Flockhart’.
All of this excitement has prompted the American Archaeological Society to put Harrison Ford on the board of directors. So, we may be a bit fuzzy on the details, but the board of directors thing is for reals.
People love Star Wars and Indiana Jones so much that George Lucas never has to have another original thought for the rest of his life.
And it's an offer he's been keen to exploit. This year George Lucas has a new Indiana Jones movie coming out and a new Star Wars movie coming out, plus he's got a 100-episode Star Wars TV show in the pipeline. And the time has come for George Lucas to spout off about all of this at once.
In a nutshell, then - George Lucas expects everyone to hate Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, doesn't really seem too fussed with the new Star Wars movie and has compared the TV show to The Wire. Yay! Possibly.
