Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film
Alchemist253 writes "George Lucas has announced that the script for the long-rumored fourth Indiana Jones film has been finalized and is to begin filming this year, with Harrison Ford once again in front of the camera. From the article: 'In a statement, the 64-year-old Ford said he was ready for another turn as the globe-trotting archaeologist. "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends," he said. "I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will."' All three of the earlier movies were shot in the 80s. How well do you think this character is going to translate into a movie made today?

You just have to wait for the Viagra to kick in first.
I haven't seen the new Rocky movies... the original was great, and it seemed like the second one had potential and then about half way through the movie they just gave up.
The only thing though that can save the new Rocky movie for me would be Carl Weathers speaking to Rocky from heaven and guiding him through the training... that would be absolutely fantastic! It would destroy the movie... but man that Carl Weathers is great. Carl Weathers.
First, a disclaimer: I'm not a huge Highlander fan and haven't seen either movie in years. I only saw the second movie once - I could barely stand to finish it because it was so offensively out-of-line with the original. So, the following comments are made from the memories (of disappointment) I have of seeing the sequel.
Highlander II completely ignored the background provided in the original movie. In the original, Christopher Lambert's character is surprised to find out that he is immortal. Sean Connery's character explains to him about the immortals and the quickening. In the second movie, they are friends on some lame-ass alien planet and are sent to earth together - at the same time. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Even if their opinion is friggin' stupid.
