Sounds very promising

BBC: Indiana Jones is back - and on form

&amphellip; Director Steven Spielberg has largely jettisoned computer generated effects (much to the chagrin of tech freak Lucas) with the result that the film's action sequences have a visceral, physical quality you rarely find in modern-day blockbusters.

My biggest fear for this film was that the CGI would take over. That's not what Indiana Jones is about. CGI is too clinical and elegant; Indiana Jones is totally inelegant (in an extremely stylish way).

Glad Spielberg put his foot down. Pity he couldn't overrule Lucas on Jar Jar Binks.

While watching an interview with Steven Spielberg the other evening.....(why do we say 'the other evening'? it means nothing, as it is a vagueism.) Anyway, I digress....Karen commented that I bore a strong resemblance to the aforementioned director. The funny thing was that when I last shaved off the old face fungus, several people commented that I looked like that well known anagram, Narcoleptic (Eric Clapton). I wonder what Spielberg looks like without his beard!
