If you’ve got a TiVo — and seriously, get a TiVo — you can download four NBC pilots for free using the Amazon Unbox video rental feature. I’m not sold on the relatively pricy rental or purchase system for the most part (why would I want to download a movie for the same price as a DVD that I won’t have a hard copy of, exactly?), but free is a hard price to beat.
Well, Indy4 has a title at last, and I confess to being massively underwhelmed.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn’t evocative of anything mythic like the ark or the holy grail. Still, Indy fighting in the jungles of it-was-only-filmed-in-Hawaii should be cool, and since it’s set in the 1950s, maybe we’ll get to see him going up against KGB instead of Nazis.
And yeah, I’ll still see it, even if I’m worried this will be more Indy2 than Indy3.
