Spielberg as Indy 4 Apologist?

If you have a sec, go read this - angry now? good!

This really bothers the shit out of me that Spielberg is so flippantly dismissing the way he totally (and permanently) fucked up this series. There is really nowhere to go from here on this series, and it's likely dead ended.

I can't imagine a future Indiana Jones film STARRING no-talent, starts-fights-in-canada-and-gets-thumped, LaBeouf and NO Harrison Ford selling more than a few thousand tickets. The franchise isn't strong enough to bring those indifferent to the character out, and Shia isn't strong enough to convince us old-school Indy loyalists to give a shit.

Blaming it on George Lucas is trendy and convenient.

Screw You Spielberg!

So angry!
Hey, at least the man apologized. If you're going to be pissed, you may as well be pissed at Spielberg, Lucas & Ford, as they collectively agreed upon and made the film. That film would not have been made without the tacit consent and involvement of all three, so make sure you're spreading the hate.

Beyond that, how often do you actually get a filmmaker to apologize for -ahem- nuking the fridge? Not very, so accept his apology and his admitted guilt and move on. Not very often at all.

Or is it that he's managed to deal with his guilt and move past it that's bothering you so much? It's funny how serene a zillion dollars in the bank can make you.

The big question is, will you see his next movie? I bet you will...

I'm going to the next one.

We can't all be River Phoenix. I'm thinking that's a good thing, in many ways.

Yeah, the next one will fix everything and be Aw3s0m3
