Indiana Jones and The Paraders of the Last Lark

"I've still got it"


What is it with Hollywood's pre-occupation with sequels? It's not enough to produce one movie? You can't come up with a fresh idea for a new movie? You gotta go back to the well two... three... even four times?
^
In 1981, Harrison Ford starred in a hugely successful movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was so successful George Lucas and Steven Spielberg decided to do a sequel in 1984 and Harrison Ford starred in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It was so successful... ...yeah, you got it - H.F. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989.
^
Not content with...
a) a trilogy of movies
b) a trilogy of mega-profits
c) with their last movie having the word "last" in the title, or
d) all of the above
^
...Messrs Ford, Lucas and Spielberg came out with a fourth in the franchise, last year's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull .
^
At 65, Ford was practically using a walker for the latest installment. Now comes word, there may be a FIFTH adventure committed to celluloid.
^
That's right, currently 67, Ford says if the script was right, he'd do it. Let's see, once the script is written, financing is arranged, actors are cast and the blockbuster is filmed Ford'll be lucky if he's still this side of 70.

So, possible titles?

The real question is how old will Sean Connery be by that time?

Indiana Jones Can't Quite Remember What He Climbed The Stairs For?

CatLady: Yeah, that should have been the name of the 2nd movie.

UR: He's 79 now. I dunno - dead?

Quirks: Well, I try. I eat right, brush after every meal and I take multi-vitamins.

PhilH: Long time, no comment. Yep, good title. Haha

Perfect! Then we'd have good reason to get an 80 year Clint Eastwood back in the saddle again or carrying a .44 magnum. The most powerful handgun in the world, and will blow your head clean off. Punk!

Don: Great movie. The full quote was: “You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?” Did you see Gran Torino? Not bad for a 79 year old coot.

Thanks.

Geesh, the dude could barely walk in the last film. I can't believe they're going to cast him another one.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
