Talk about your trivial First World problems, but The Guardian has an article speculating on who a good replacement director should be for the next Indiana Jones film, now that Steven Spielberg has dropped out.
I don't know anything about most directors on the list, but I agree with the section on Gore Verbinski: he is extremely talented with protracted action sequences, and I would love him to have a go at an Indiana Jones.
The success of the film, however, will be extremely dependent on its screenplay, and who it sets up to taking over the hat. The idea flown in the last film obviously didn't pan out. (Not that it was as bad a film as everyone makes out.)
I am not at all convinced that it is a good idea to be making another one at all. Harrison Ford looks very old now, and films in which ageing actors are trying to appear too active often look a bit pathetic. (There are many examples in recent years.)
BUT I STILL SAY THIS: the perfect last appearance for Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones would be for him to be one of the astronauts going into the Mothership at the end of Close Encounters.

You'd have to wonder if there will be more mindless violence towards Germans and Muslims. The people who the oligarchy wanted to exterminate and those whom the oligarchy is currently exterminating.
I don't know that I really want to know how your inane conspiracy theories tumble and collide with each other in your mind, Graeme, but is your position that the "oligarchy" is out to get the Germans today in revenge for the Holocaust which didn't really happen in the way the "oligarchy" wants us to think it did? What does the oligarchy have against the Germans, in a general sense, to been fooling us and setting up the Germans in this way? Please avoid use of the "J" word in your response, so that my site doesn't continue to get network bans in NZ for hosting a Neo Nazi sympathiser in comments...
