It isn't that I don't want to see another Indy movie...

But does anyone else feel that we may be setting ourselves up for a let down? I was very happy with Last Crusade back in '89, and granted, I'd support a fourth Indy movie 'til the day I die (just call me a yellow dog Indyfan!), but I would rather not tamper with "perfection". My greatest fear is seeing a movie in which Indy seemed a tad slower, a tad older and a tad sadder than in previous films. Maybe a fourth Indy movie should focus on Indy realizing that he's not a young man anymore, and that he can't go swinging from a whip and outrunning huge boulders every ten minutes. But that would hardly be a fitting end to a franchise based on those old 30s serials; no one wants to see an older, paunchier Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon saying "Ah, hell with this. I'm too damned old to keep saving the world!". I think I'd rather just see Indy end his days riding off into the sunset with his father and Sallah. Sorry for rambling, folks. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    - Actually, Lucasfilms doesn't take story ideas, the simply throw them out. Company policy. That's when I figured out that Lucas was a genius, but really stuck up Indy Coil 23:13:14 11/25/2000 (0)
