This month is like exhibit A for Hollywood's propensity to churn out sequels that nobody asked for. You've got Journey 2, opening today. And then next week, there's Ghost Rider 2, in which Nic Cage tries to "improve" upon the first flaming-skull motorcycle movie. More »

Because you dissed the Star Wars prequels, George Lucas has sworn he won't ever make another movie about that faraway galaxy. He says, "Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" More »

Okay, so it hasn't actually taken Harrison Ford this long to watch the Indiana Jones movies, but this fun video does a clever job of making it look like Ford is watching his films for the very first time. More »

Check out the first 13 minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark recut with scenes from the sort of free-wheeling adventure flicks Steven Spielberg and George Lucas drew their inspiration from. These shots were taken from 30 separate films released from 1919 to 1973. More »

We really liked The Adventures of Tintin, but we've heard lots of people saying it's not Steven Spielberg's best movie. And this started us wondering: What was Spielberg's last truly great genre film? Was it Tintin? Minority Report? God forbid, was it Indiana Jones 4? Now's your chance to vote! More »

When you call for a doctor in the 31st century, you have a wide choice of physicians. Hell, you can call up multiple versions of Neil Patrick Harris depending on whether you need a high school MD or a PhD in horribleness. Hopefully, you just want them for their minds. More »

Remember Mr. Plinkett, that disgusting old coot who dissected The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Star Trek, and Avatar? Now he's turned his foul, critical eye toward Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull. Learn the various plot failings of the film, all narrated in an hour-plus of horribly hypnotic geriatric slurring. I love it when Mr. Plinkett begins spitballing about Indiana Jones going to Siberia and the number of diseases that should've killed him by now.

This is Jeff Gurwood's Indymation, a.k.a. the entire temple sequence to Raiders of the Lost Ark done up entirely with action figures and art supplies. If I were animating the film's final scenes, I would make Gumby jump out of the Ark of the Convenant. That guy absolutely terrifies me. Also, I wonder if Indy's friend is a Doctor Octopus action figure. More »

This has been a big year for Steven Spielberg — he's launched two TV shows, including last night's Terra Nova, and produced countless movies. The Spielberg tribute Super-8 was a surprise hit, and it's become fashionable for other film-makers to claim they're paying tribute to early Spielberg. Still ahead this year: the huge motion-capture reinvention of Tintin, the Belgian adventure comic. More »

Jim Steranko gave an intimate question and answer session this past Sunday in the waning hours of Dragon*Con. The veteran comic book artist is known for his psychedelic, groundbreaking work on Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America in the late 1960s. He also helped to create the look of Indiana Jones, and told a captivated audience how it happened.

When Steven Spielberg was filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he brought in Barbra Streisand, Carrie Fisher, and Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner to whip a confused, tied-up Indiana Jones. Also, Streisand was in a dominatrix costume. Yup. More »

Here's some weird trivia to bandy about. In 2004, Dark Horse Comics published "Into The Great Unknown," a 10-page story that marked the first Lucas-approved (if non-canonical) meeting of Han Solo and Indiana Jones. It was also a massive bummer! More »

YouTube user OneMinute Galactica takes your favorite science fiction scenes and characters and redubs them using stilted, dated, and backwards 1950s educational film dialogue. The Day The Earth Stood Still becomes a solemn warning about the dangers of homosexuals and Indiana Jones' stand-off at the Obi Wan nightclub is transformed into an etiquette lesson. My favorite moment is when Non demonstrates filing cabinet safety at the Daily Planet. More »

This week's episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars offered thrills and spills, derring-do rescues and damsels in distress, and a breathy bad-guy ditching the flawed giant evil death machine and flying off into deep space at the end of the episode. It all seemed very familiar indeed, like this old movie about Darth something and a Death Star, who could've guessed? But Star Wars wasn't the only George Lucas joint that this week's episode cribbed from... and we'd like to see more, thanks. More »

If it's Labor Day, then it's the end of summer - A summer that saw Hollywood bank on the geek vote in a way that it hadn't done before, with a record number of SF and fantasy movies crowding the blockbuster schedule (five of the top ten movies of the season were based on comic books, for example). But did gambling on the nerd dollar work out for the studios? It depends where in the world you are when you ask, apparently. More »

When you're facing certain destruction, hiding in the refrigerator is a great plan. Say you're being chased by a damaged post-apocalyptic robot with the American flag on its face, which has reconstituted itself using kitchen appliances, like in this scene from 1990's Hardware. The thing hunts via infrared, so maybe the fridge is the safest place in your home? Except if the thing turns out to have other methods of hunting, and then you're kinda screwed. More »

You might have noticed a distinct lack of female heroes at the movies this summer, Sex And The City aside. It's almost as if the studios decided women couldn't carry a big movie — but nah, I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Luckily, the summer's big movies have a wealth of female supporting leads, and almost any one of them could carry a movie of their own. (Let's just pretend Catwoman and Elektra never existed, 'kay?) Which one of these sidekicks deserves to kick up her heels in her own film? More »
