I will talk about stuff that happens to me. And comment on things that I like and don't like. Fuck stuff you like.

Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.

I admit with no shame that this gave me a bit of a semi.

While I'm very excited about the prospect of a new INDIANA JONES movie, the obvious and disastrous results of other sequels makes me nervous.

Obviously, a big problem is having a 65-year old hero. You can't have him outrunning natives and fighting multiple Nazis while hanging off a truck. (my God that's a good movie.)

The fights have to be much more about being clever than tough. Lots of dropping the chandelier on the bad guys' heads and the like. Fortunately, Indy has always been about failing spectacularly. His fights rarely, if ever result in him getting the idol, saving Marion, or not getting tied up and saved quite literally by Deus Ex Machina.

However, that's not to say that old guys can't be a badass for a long, long time. In honor of that, I'm going to write down the best Ed* stories over the next couple days. A couple of you have heard them a million times, so bear with me.

My only fear, iks that it spends a lion's share of the movie in the past as his younger self. If I wanted to see that, I would watch the series, Young Indiana Jones.
