Because they (actor, director, producer) all wanted to "grow up" and do "serious" movies? Did this go like Sean Connery who doesn't want to talk about James Bond anymore? And what are chances that we see another one in the near future - even if this one is a big success? Ford is not growing any younger and I most certainly don't want to see a "passing of the torch" to Shia LaBeouf! It's Ford or bust! ZAR.

You never really get more out of the guy. I get the feeling he gets tired of (opening his mouth and forming words) to some of the same ole questions over and over again. Lol. It sure would be interesting to hear what Ford, Lucas and Speilberg all talk about on the set. You know somebody has that on tape..... Yeah Lucas can be pretty cryptic, but to me the interview wasn’t too bad.

Not the way the media puts him together. I love the old Star Wars... the new ones? not so much... but they are bette when you add RiffTrax to them! :D Take care all... I'm going to bed. ;) Been a long day... You’re right my friend 790..

Now days films have one weekend, thats it to win or loose. Its all mathmatically designed there's only so many seats and theaters and there's a new film coming every week. Movies that tank like Speed Racer only get 2 weeks to stay in most theaters, where as in the past it might have stayed in theaters for months. I remember when you would get maybe 1 new movie every 2 weeks, not 3 or 5 in a weekend year round. The movie going experince is becoming such an instant gratification event, that people just expect greatness all the time, they go online and expect everything at high speed...they want all the spoilers so they can be ahead of everyone else. Aaaaahhhh! The internet and computers are changing the very nature of humanity. Where it takes us..who knows.? We are the..b I think that's the frustration I hear in Lucas. He seems upset with the fans that scream out "this sucks or Jar Jar must die". I'm sure he's a little stunned that people live and die with these charaters. (I am). I mean hey I'm a huge fan of Star Wars but to sit outside the Manns Chinese Theater in downtown dirty/homeless infested Hollywood for 30 days so you could watch Star Wars ep 1.?! Wtf says it all.

Lucas blabbering on about Indy 5??? CAN WE JUST HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE IF IT'S EVEN WORTH DOING A 5TH??!?!?!??!?! I'm so sick of directors, talking about how they're already thinking about another movie when the first one didn't even hit the theaters!!! Give me a break! AND, his constant moaning about how we don't get him is getting a bit too much. Is this, his way of promoting his films? <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356282,00.html#2" rel="nofollow">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356282,00.html#2</a> I wonder what Spielberg is thinking about all of this... Let's not say anything till we see how the film does with the fans who made it a hit. Fans, you know, people like you and me, who thought it was good enough to keep talking about long after the movie was over and done with. Unlike Star Wars, which isn't really such a hot topic anymore. ;) But Lucas still thinks he's in 1993, juuuust before he started to go mental with the digital Jabba Version 1.01 (I hear Version 1.00 was just deplorable... let's not even talk about the beta builds... ) ;) So ummm,

I had to get it in another town when picking up the lady. Anyways, this movie will be redonkulous. I'm not sure if it will be a huge opening but I think it'll have many STRONG weekends as alot of the older folk who this movie will also appeal to will not be in a rush to see it open with the loudmouth teenagers Raiders of the Lost Ark was all out at 3 different video stores here.

I don't know if this one will beat Iron Man numbers, but it will at least come close. It is a shame that the curator? (Denholm Elliot) from the last film and the first won't be in it; he always made me laugh. It also looks like John Rhys-Davies won't be in it either. Too bad.
