Did we need another Mummy movie? Even if Brenden Fraser looks eerily like Leon Kennedy in the press materials?
Yes! They're ridiculously fluffy and slashy, and I really like Eve. iz kwite pritty. And come on, in the Mummy II they exploded a monkey. How does that not deserve an encore?

OF COURSE we needed another Indiana Jones movie.
THERE IS NO INDIANA JONES WITHOUT HARRISON FORD AND HE IS TOO OLD AND PAUNCHY NOW TBQFH. I AM SORRY MUPPET BUT YOU ARE WRONG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS. Not even River Phoenix could be Indiana. The beginning of The Last Crusade was just ridiculous.


the surely-pending cinematic version of Les Miserables. Starring Russel Crowe as Jean Valjean!
It would so totally be him, too.


Kit Kittridge: An American Girl has been adapted into a big-screen movie, starring Abigail Breslin in the title role.
I have no emotional attachment to American Girl (although I did read the books and magazine) so I can't comment on your favoritist rage, but isn't Abigail Breslin the perfect actress to play that kind of role? That casting choice restores some of my faith in Hollywood, tbh.

But it's not even the same Evie! And there's no Ardeth Bey at all! And they're jumping on the Ancient Mysterious Chinese People bandwagon that eight zillion films have already done, and I don't consider it The Mummy unless it's in Egypt or Thebes or somewhere like that. And frankly I'd rather we just hired Brendan as Leon and made a proper Resident Evil movie, so I feel that this entire effort has been misdirected.

HARRISON FORD CAN BE INDY IF HE WANTS TO. Besides, the new Indy movie has Cate Blanchett as a Russian dominatrix-type person which makes up for everything. And Karen Allen is back. And the beginning of The Last Crusade was AWESOME. I don't know what you're on about.

For some reason, Russel Crowe was the very first person who came to mind for the Les Miserables Celebrity Casting. I don't know what to think about that, given that I've never heard him sing.

Abigail Breslin is perfect for it, and I've no doubt she'll do brilliantly. But she's not playing my American Girl. I'm sorry; it's one of those irrational childhood things. :D

WUT. SRSLY WUT. HOW DO YOU REPLACE EVIE. HOW. DO. YOU. REPLACE. EVIE. ALSO, NEEDS MOAR SAND OMFGPPL. COMMON SENSE.

NOT IF HE IS PAUNCHY HE CAN'T. OK MAYBE HE CAN AND I'VE BEEN CRUSHING KINDA HARD ON KAREN ALLEN SINCE I WAS LIKE TEN, BUT ISN'T THIS MOVIE ALL ABOUT THEM SITTING IN ROCKING CHAIRS ON A PORCH WHILE THEIR ~SON GOES OFF AND HAS ADVENTURES? NO. YOU DO NOT PUT INDIANA JONES IN A ROCKING CHAIR, BETCH.


I'm sure I have no experience with irrational childhood things but I'll take your word for it, dear. >D

YOU DON'T REPLACE EVIE. Apparently Rachel Weisz is too big a star or something to be in a Mummy movie. I don't know.

OF COURSE HE WILL NOT BE IN A ROCKING CHAIR. He'll be off being heroic and adventuresome and suchlike, and I'm willing to grant that it will possibly be less awesome that the first three movies but INDIANA JONES WILL NOT BE IN A ROCKING CHAIR.

Feel free to mock me if this ends up being the case, though I may not hear you because I'll be busy demanding my money back.
