There's been a bootleg trailer for the new Indiana Jones movie floating around, but I'll wait for an official clean copy is released to watch it. Still, it's receiving positive praise and Harrison Ford's emotional speech to the audience at D23 about how proud he is of it have me cautiously optimistic. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may not have been well received, but hopefully this final installment will give Indy the proper sendoff that he deserves.
We could still get more Indy, if Sean Patrick Flannery can be brought back into the role.
ReplyDeleteAs for this new movie, I do hope we see how Indy lost his right eye, as shown in George Hall's portrayal.
Maybe Fay Wray was hanging on to some valuable trinket from the past, that would charm Kong.
ReplyDeleteAt a convention, i saw an ad for the Star Wars radio story with Mickey Rooney and Humphrey Bogart. This is out of that mold. It's a great concept and story.
ReplyDeleteNow the real question is Will Kong be able to keep up with The Jones??
I still have no complaints with the edgier, comparatively more serious tone that "...Crystal Skull" took. Seeing as how it was set during the McCarthyist Fifties rather than the Never-Never-like Thirties of the first three films. That being said; are we truly going to get fourteen more covers of these two unlikely antagonists? Or is that yellow circular blurb just a tribute to how an actual lobby card would've read in a Depression-era movie theater showing such a serial?
ReplyDeleteI'll leave parts 2-15 to your imagination, Cary.
ReplyDeleteVery cool cover.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you're aware of the novel Doc Savage: Skull Island by Will Murray and Joe DeVito which reveals the formally unknown meeting between Kong and the Man of Bronze....
No, no, no, Ross! Just revisit this story every few dozen issues until it's done, any time you have something to say about either of the stars. Or, sneak in someone like Batman or (the original) Captain Marvel.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated thought: Green Hornet and Blue Beetle.
@Ross: I'll take that as a "yes" for the 2nd Question. :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to read this comic! If some comic book company reads this, please get the rights to make a comic of this! And thanks, Ross, for this great idea!

Dear Ord: I apologize for the lengthy delay in updating my wip's at Fanfiction-dot-net. Some writer's blocks are a little more difficult to erode than other. On the plus side? The delay will probably allow you to post an epilogue or two to your rewrite of that Sliders/Doctor Who/ST:DS9 crossover epic.
ReplyDeleteCary & Ord, the Dr has met and teamed with Picard and crew in a mini series comic that neither Matt Smith nor Whoopi Goldberg knew about. I think half your work has been done already. The Sliders get involved with a visiting Dr ....who takes them for a tour to DS 9. (Even the Lower Decks.)
ReplyDelete@Det. Tobor: Who published it and when? Because the fanfic I was referencing was first posted by Ordinaryguy2 about fifteen years ago! The eight-volume "Tangled Web" series. But, over the last two years or so, he's been doing some heavy-duty rewriting. Incorporating some now-public domain superheroes from the Golden Age of Comics, in addition to various TV show characters, past and present.*
ReplyDelete*This has been a shameless and unsolicited cross-plug.
At least there's no snakes.
ReplyDeleteSorry bro.
ReplyDeleteReality has outmatched ya.
Kong met his match in Godzilla.
At the movies.
Actually, Marko, it was the other way around. Both in the American print of the Showa-era original...and in the more recent remake.
