The good thing, the thing we already know, is it cannot possibly be worse than Temple of Doom, which is (arguably) the worst movie of all time.

At that age, I thought Short Round was funny, the bugs were scary, and the pumping heart was awesome. I saw it as an adult and thought the film was: 1) terrible, and 2) one of the most offensive mainstream films I'd ever seen. What's up with George Lucas and his ethnic stereotyping?

Should have named it, "Indiana Jones And His Visit To The Medicaid Office"

although, temple of doom did yield the greatest animated gif of all time-

Besides, it's an illustration, not a photo - they didn't "have to" design it this way.

Brad, do *not* read that Vanity Fair article - it gives a spoilery hat tip that I wish I hadn't read (but couldn't resist).

Oh wait, they weren't (with the exception of the Peruvian statue). Oh yeah, and "Temple of Doom" was about recovering an indigenous artifact for the people who actually owned it. So what the fuck are you talking about?

Apparently someone doesn't get the concept of pulp homage; the Indiana Jones movies are supposed to be a little hammy and, dare I say, racist and ethnocentric. Attacking Indiana Jones for racism is like attacking "The Venture Bros." It's an homage to serial 1930s pulp, what do you want? Anthropology? Besides, it's well established that the new Indiana Jones movie is about "alien" artifacts, per its 1950s pulp theme.

And that he and his enemy Beloch (or whatever his name was) were two sides of the same coin.
When they lost that they lost everthing that was interesting about IJ. Like he'll shoot a guy rather than have a fair fight etc.
