Fuck George Lucas

I really have decided that Mr. Lucas is out to erase every positive memory I have from cinema in my childhood.

I saw Indy 4 on opening day, and I got to admit... I was supremely stoked to see it. I mean, let's face it. I was the perfect age for those movies (the first three) and they helped create so much wonder and whim in an incredibly over active imagination.

Now, I know that I was barely alive (if even alive) when "Raiders" came out, but by the time that home video started to take off, all three had been released and my parents used them as a baby sitter for me. I would watch Indy battle snakes and Nazi's and find all of the things I was learning about in sunday school (save the 3 stones in 'Temple') and then go find something to have Mom and Dad hide and I would go walk the path of God in hopes of finding said treasure.

So, when you see him stand and his shadow darken the side of the old Ford (within the first few minutes) and that famous music come bellowing through the speakers, I was jazzed. I was like.."I am finally seeing an Indiana Jones movie in the theater. WOW!"

Then, the rest of the movie happened, and so many times all I wanted to do was just walk out.

Between Lucas and Spielberg, they have had a hand in (if not doing it completely alone) Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, and Back to The Future. Want to take a wild guess at what my favorite videos to watch as a child were?

You got it. The lot of them.

Now, everyone seems to agree that Episodes 1-3 were so bad that most people have lobotomized themselves to find a way to forget about them. "...Crystal Skull" is the same way for me. But still, its okay right? They were just looking for that dollar... at least I have my Goonies....

Wait. That won't be true in a little over a year.

Yes, according to most internet gossip, all of the original cast (still alive) have signed on with Spielberg and Donner to produce a sequel to this film as well. Can someone tell me why?

The episode of South Park "Free Hat" (season 6) pins Lucas and Stevie about as well as anything ever could, so I can just direct you to http://www.southparkzone.com if you want a good chuckle...

I have much to vent about, but today can not be the day for such venting. I don't feel ghetto enough to keep up with the vernacular commonly found in these posts. All I know is that someone or a group of someones needs to pool together some money and put out hits on these two men before they put their venomous tentacles on the rest of classic fun film.

c-out
