Perhaps they could do a blaxploitation thing - Indiana Jones Up in Harlem. Co-starring Pam Grier as a CUNY African Studies professor by day and a badass seeker of lost relics by night.

No, it's still a fridge, but this time it has one of those new-fangled ice makers and is a groovy shade of harvest gold, though avocado green and burnt umber are also possibilities once shooting actually begins.

Loved this movie when it came out. I'm not sure I've ever heard or read anything about it since, so I thought it kind of got ignored and/or was a bust at the box office. Nice to see there are so many people here who appreciated it as well.

INT. - THE OFFICE OF DISNEY CEO BOB IGER - NIGHT.

Plus, those were DC-8s. Get your facts straight.

Indiana Jones: Escape from the Kingdom of "Those People" (Except for the Kid Who Comes by and Waxes My Car - He Seems OK, but He Could be Cheating Me Too).

Well you know what they say: Put a hundred monkeys with typewriters in a room long enough, and eventually you'll get Zootopia.

Or perhaps he could lead a group of his neighbors in a Florida retirement community on a quest to retrace Ponce de León's search for the Fountain of Youth. Sort of an Indy meets "Cocoon" thing.

Says Sallah, "Life goes on, Indy." At which point Indy shrugs and tosses the photo behind him. Over the sound of shattering glass he says, "Oh yeah, we were talking about fabulous lost treasure…"

If it's a rehash of a beloved, pre-1995 work, yes Disney does in fact own it. If it's something totally new and original, then not Disney, unless it's Pixar.

"Mutt" Williams, Kylo Ren - Why do Harrison Ford's onscreen characters always turn out the most annoying, ass-wipey offspring?

And reading the periodic think piece about whether it's time for a black Indy.

In a first for the series, the fifth movie will be a direct sequel to the last one. Working title: "Indiana Jones and The Search for Lost Credibility"

On the one hand, her review of "Bonnie and Clyde" sort of helped launch the "new Hollywood" movement of the next 10 years (of which Friedkin's "French Connection" was a major milestone), so I can give her credit for that. But primarily I remember her for perfectly encapsulating elite, left-wing Manhattanite insularity

I would definitely say that Bates Motel has renewed my appreciation for Psycho, because before I would always think of the latter as one of the most gimmicky and perhaps overrated of Hitchcock's films, and pretty much all of the other attempts to extend the franchise aren't nearly as memorable (though the sequel has

A.V. Club now curves its grades, so only a limited number of films can receive an A or a D-.

Perhaps they were hopping to tap into that lucrative "Go-to rental for teachers of high school AP Ancient Civilizations courses who need an easy day" market.

Yes, these days if it clocks in under 140 minutes it almost qualifies as a short subject.

Why, they're not enemies at all - A.V. Club and Shia LeBeouf have a weirdly symbiotic relationship. For example, were it not for this article, I'd have probably totally forgotten that Shia LaBeouf even existed. In fact, I will most likely forget he exists almost immediately upon leaving this page. And I will continue

I would agree that Dr. Strangelove/2001 is the dividing like of where he became almost obsessive about getting his actors to behave like automatons, running them through dozens of takes of each scene so that they would all ultimately give flat, detached seeming performances.
