IT LOOKS LIKE A PUBLICITY PHOTO.


OKAY, I FOUND THE ORIGIN OF THE PHOTO. IT'S FROM THE NEWEST ISSUE OF VANITY FAIR. YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Merchandising! Merchandising! Where the real money from the movie is made. Indiana Jones: the T-shirt, Indiana Jones: the coloring book, Indiana Jones: the lunch box, Indiana Jones: the breakfast cereal, Indiana Jones: the flamethrower--the kids love this one--last but not least, Indiana Jones: the potato head doll.
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Don't tell me you didn't see that coming, especially after Darth Tater.

Aw, hell, I'll just go buy it and set it next to my Darth Tater. Damn Lucas always figuring out ways to get my money!

I'm used to the whoring of Star Wars, but Indy never really fell victim to the horrible merchandising machine. You're right though, I should have expected it..

No!!!!! My worst nightmares are coming true!!!!! Once the Batman and Superman Mr. Potatoheads come out all my favorite childhood characters will be potatoheads! I feel silly for having ever bought that Darth Tater, it was only $6 and seemed like a neat little novelty item at the time... little did I know...

I am sick of everything becoming everything else these days. It was cool when Lord of the Rings Risk came out, nice to have a new map and all, but now we have Star Wars Risk and Transformers Risk, and many more Risks I don't want to know about. Monopoly is even worse. It just cheapens all these things. It cheapens Star Wars, it cheapens Monopoly, it cheapens Legos, and yes... it even cheapens Mr. Potatohead. All these once great products are becoming extremely lame by merging themselves together.

It was cool when they bred a lion with a tiger and made a baby liger. But now we are to the point of taking the genes of everything and artificially merging them into everything else and coming up with some really creepy ass mutants, which is what we see when we walk down the aisles of a Toy's R Us or the toy section of Wal-Mart. It really is quite horrifying.

I remembered back when Lego ripped off Indiana Jones and Star Wars by making their own generic "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" sets, but now they all have the real thing. Can't even buy cool lego sets like I got when I was a kid with knights or pirates. Now they are all Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. There even used to be a ripped off Back to the Future lego series, now I am just bracing myself for the day when they manage to get into the pants of the real series and produce the ugly offspring of a licensed BTTF lego series. When everything is Licensed like this do kids get to use their imagination like we use to?

Ack, forget it. Thus is the state of the over marketing Empire we live in these days, might as well just stop complaining about it. So, anyone up for a game of Indian Jones Risk? I get to be the Nazis! You can be the one man army of the guy in the Fedora.

Looks like an x-files alien. Please don't tell me they are going down the indiana jones and the aliens route. Wasn't there some talk of that years ago?

As if the real crystal skull wasn't mysterious enough... but no, our Crystal Skull(TM)(R)(C) has to be Even Cooler(TM)...

Did you notice how all 3 IJ movies had references to religion, mythology?

Looks like in IJ4 it will be replaced by "the alien connection". Just like the mystical Force was replaced by Midichlorians(TM)... oh well, after all we already have Soviets in the movie, who always considered religion as "opium for the people".

Wow, I am pretty sure Kenner had a ghost from its Ghostbusters line of action figures that looked exactly like that thing. Heh heh, any slight modicum of anticipation I may have been feeling for this movie is effectively gone now. And before anyone bashes me for judging a movie by its skull, I wasn't really much looking forward to this in the first place, and with every picture from the filming of this that I have seen I have become less and less interested. The skull was simply just the final thin thread of interest breaking under the weight of my disinterest. If I had been truely excited about this film I am sure I wouldn't let something like that skull ruin it for me.

i gotta tell you... I just can't get excited about the new Indy movie. I WANT to, but I just can't. Maybe it's the whole "no expectation is the best expectation" thing.
