Indiana Jones and the Title of Death
Filed under: Action, Paramount, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy
Last week news surfaced on Aint it Cool News that the title of the new Indiana Jones movie, according to Harrison Ford, would be Indiana Jones and the Opal of the Mer-Man Prince. The title was met by horrible response, I mean, look at it - it's a horrible title. Well, fear not, because according to Steven Spielberg, it was all a joke. "I'll dispell one rumour...I think Harrison was so pulling your chain when he said that. That is not the title. I read that and I cracked up," Spielberg told IESB.net. "That's Harrison, he's got a great sense of humour and I love the fact that it got on the internet and everyone thinks that's the title..but that's not the title".
Thank God.

"So pulling your chain"? Spielberg says things like "so pulling your chain"?
Was he playing with his friendship bracelets while he said it?

well i guess rumor has it the script has been choosen and are waiting on harrison to approve. i think it would be nice to have a indiana jones. my concern is that the rumored name of his kid was gonna be idaho. please let that not be true. name the kid colorado or dakota not idaho, that would be worse then harrisons mock title. harrison has an odd sense of humor if this is the case.

To speed up the approval process, they should choose a title which Harrison Ford is eager to approve.
Such as, for instance, "Indiana Jones'in and the Satchel of Righteous Ganj".
The plot would follow naturally enough:
Jones'in travels back to the Indian village from "Temple of Doom", only this time, he finds that they are experiencing a very different kind of drought.
He begins a quest to locate "the guy who is friends with this one dude's brother", and recover the sorely needed Satchel.
Obstacles abound, and before Indy can grab the bag, his old foe Belloq manages to take a greedy pinch.
He then runs afoul of some Nazis, who insist that he give them a taste, and "hang out for a little while". They refuse to let him leave, until he has listened to an Edith Piaf album...all the way through.
Once back in the village, he learns that Sri Lankan militants have come, and replaced the sacred "Sankara Bong" with an atrociously harsh pipe.
Finally, Indy travels to a remote mountain cave, where a mystical head shop is guarded by a 2,000 year old hippie.
He must choose the correct instrument, or else...
