Guess what!

MJ, Chloe, and I went to downtown Seattle today to soak up the atmosphere. We strolled into Pacific Place, a relatively new upscale shopping complex to go with the other upscale shopping complexes down there, and saw a movie poster for...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

After doing two minutes of research online just now and seeing how long ago Lucasfilm announced this, I realize many of you might already know this, but...

The film is due out May 22!

And...

Karen Allen is in the cast! Marion returns! Yay!

I was worried they would pick Kate Capshaw—she is Spielberg's wife, after all—but maybe they realized that Marion was always our favorite Indy chick.

The release date coincides with the start of LIFE is Good 2008, so I foresee an unschooler invasion of the theater nearest the Vancouver Red Lion. Who's with me?

Harrison is getting old for the role isn't he? I heard that Sean Connery declined reprisal of the role of his father.

I heard one rumor that Harry plays Indy as father figure in this one. Shia Lebouf is in the cast; maybe he's Indy's son.

Sean and I have agreed to see IJ4 together!
I've "heard" that Kate Capshaw will be in the movie, as well as Cate Blanchett, who is playing a villain! I hope that Marian's older self is more interesting. IMHO, all of Indy's female interests have been real snoozettes.
