The CIA and Mossad killed him in a conspiracy to get the ooooooiiiiiiiiilllll!

Whale oil, that is.

Things to expect when Steven Speilberg makes Lincoln.

Note to self: how can Speilberg make a movie about Lincoln given that all Republicans are, like, evil?

SPECIAL BONUS FEATURE: NAME THE "INDY 4" VILLAIN

The big Hollywood guessing game is who will be the villain for Indy 500 (named because Harrison Ford will be approximately 500 years old by the time this flick comes out).

Anyhoo, since it's twenty years since the last movie, and that movie was set in approximately 1940, that would make this movie set in @1960.

Go for it.

My suggestion: Dr. Sinestero, the proctologist of doom

For 1960. Indy will be in the South American jungle, rescuing a precious Inca object from a military junta that wants to control all of S.A. The catch is, the junta is friendly with the American government; indeed the coup was engineered by the CIA during a Republican Presidency (Eisenhower).
This does many things:
1) gets out of the Euro-centricness of the other three.
2) shows the evilness of American foreign policy in general and Republicans specifically.
3) Thus implicitly bashes Bush.

Nazis. But in Argentina. This time Indy hunts down a former SS archaelogist who is part of a secret plot to resurrect Hitler from DNA found on Eva Braun's pillow. Shortround is all grown up, has converted to Judaism, and is now working as Golda Meir's personal bodyguard and occasional lover.

The film prominently features snakes. Lots of snakes.

See, this started out as satire, and Rusty just came up with something as likely as the real thing. Way to go, Dale!

I heard Spielberg is going to do a Brokeback Mountain with Lincoln. The whole movie will be about 'gay man becomes president'. Kind of a Commander in Chief (ABC) thing.
