Sorry. A little rant about Lucas here.

I can live with the fact that there may never be an Indy 4. I don't quite understand it, but I can live with it. Although I do think that we missed the chance for an AWSOME movie if M. Night woulda stayed with the program and written it. I think with Indy obviously being older, he could have brought alot of character to it and not an aging hero cliche'. Again, Lucas and Speilberg are talented in thier own respects but I love how M. Night isn't scared to take things slow and allow the story and characters to develop without unwanted action scenes that help for a big opening weekend. (Since that's all Hollywood execs seem to care about now) BUT! The fact that the Indy series isn't on DVD yet is a bit of a slap in the face. Phantom Menace will be out in October!? What about what the fans want? The people that have paid for Skywalker Ranch and given him the opportunity to make these prequals? Does he have such an ego that he thinks he has to be involved in every last detail with the DVD's and won't have time until after SW? Empire was the best SW film, which was not directed by Lucas. I think he's a great idea and business man, but when he wants to take control of the strings, things don't seem to come out as well as they could/should. I dunno. I just see no reason why we have gotten snubbed this long. Lucas - not the filmmaking god he seems to (maybe) think he is. I have a friend who still wears his Varsity jacket from high school (12 years ago) He reminds me alot of Lucas by riding out a wave longer than he should.
