    I had other articles planned, but dammit, I’d rather be talking about Indy IV. So, if you’re as excited as I am, here is a list of links to tide you over as you count the minutes ‘til the opening: Extensive lists of updated film reviews may be found here and here. Eric Kohn actually live-blogged the Cannes screening (full of spoilers). FILMdetail on the creation of Indiana Jones. Christopher Campbell’s Lost Art of the Serial. Ali Arakin’s Indiana Jones blog-a-thon. Jonathan Lapper posts some concept art for Raiders of the Lost Ark. David Thomson on Harrison Ford's career. Lucas talks Indy V, God help us all. Kim Voynar on the Cannes press conference. Peter Rainer on Spielberg and Paul Brownfield on Karen Allen. Peter Howell talks with Allen and with Harrison Ford. Here’s my own article, The Long, Sordid Road to Indy IV. And finally, below are three vids that capture fairly well the excitement and boredom of being on a film set. Hope you enjoy them. -MM ----------------------------

With the way screenings are arranged today, scheduled so that both theater owners and studios can get as much money from as many showings as possible, there’s just no room for any accompanying shorts, especially the kind that don’t end in a conclusive manner. I’d probably be okay with being left out of that experience from the moviegoing past, but each time another Indiana Jones movie is released, I can’t help but think I’m at least a tiny less appreciative of George Lucas’ intent than some of the older folk in the audience. When Lucas thought up the original Raiders of the Lost Ark, he partly meant the film as homage to the serials he remembered from his childhood. Yet Raiders didn’t end with a cliffhanger, as most serials had on a weekly basis. And with the third sequel to that film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, arriving in theaters this week, I still wonder why at least two installments couldn’t have been connected with the serializing device. Lucas had already somewhat shown us, through the uncertain ending of The Empire Stikes Back and continuation/resolution beginning of Return of the Jedi, that it could be done.
