On Indy 4
So in a recent interview about War of the Worlds, Speilberg said this after complimenting Koepp on how fast he was able to write that script, "and sometimes you really are intent on making a picture, you know, like I was with Indy 4, in which case my producer didn't like the script as much as I did, but in the sense of, you know, my intention was to make Indy 4 ago and it didn't work out." This "producer" is of course George Lucas, my question is this: Is calling him "my producer" and not "my pal George Lucas" or "my partner on the film" an underhanded insult, or is it saving face for Lucas?
It looks like Jeff Nathanson is writing a new script from scratch. Lucas at his finest, replacing Darabont with Nathanson. A smart move, I mean, when compared to The Terminal, The Shawshank Redemption is just garbage.

That is a question I posed there in the post, how come no one is answering?
Jeez, this is like doing my homework. OK.
Speilberg sees Lucas as the poor kid in the wheelchair that tried out for the track team. Lucas can't be on the track team, Lucas can't even walk (of course he was quite a good runner back before the accident). Speilberg can't insult the poor handicapped kid, so he refers to him as his "teammate" instead of calling him by name. A fine move by Speilberg who is a fine man.
It's people like Lucas that make me sad I go to USC... and I love how now, Speilberg thinks of Lucas as the handicapped kid, where in years past, to Stevie, Lucas was the popular rich kid, etc... my oh my.
Indy 4 went to hell awhile ago... now it is only going deeper.
