Four New 'Indiana Jones' Pictures!

I think this photo is officially the funniest still I have seen from a movie, ever. IESB.net was sent four photos from Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull from an unknown source. They are quite grainy, so I bet they were scanned in from some kind of companion book.
There's a very classic and iconic one of Indy cracking his bullwhip -- and I very nearly posted it, but we've seen that before. What we've never seen is a Russian Cate Blanchett getting sucker punched ... by Shia LaBeouf! It's like the entire Cold War boiled down to one single image -- you're going down, Communism! But if Irina Spalko is the uber-villain Lucas and Spielberg say she is, there's no way she's going to take that from Mutt Williams. (Then again, if Rocky IV taught us anything, it's that Russians can be beaten by much weaker opponents.)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (sucker) punches its way into theaters on May 22.

I won't be seeing this movie... simply because I think they could not have picked a worse "lil Indy" to pass the torch to... LaBeouf. I kept an open mind... however, after seeing him in Constantine, Transformers, and Disturbia... I firmly believe his personality shines through in all his roles, thus dooming his performances to nothing more than a teetering, affiable comedic sidekick. Which I'm sure makes him a perfect buddy in real life... but an unfortunate thespian for the big screen (especially for the next Indy installment).
Why couldn't they find a more complex, inflected, and open-faced actor worthy of the Indiana lineage? (My coin would have been DiCaprio... but then, I guess he would've stolen the show from Ford???)

Try to remember Lucas had a big say in this production. So picking LaBeouf is simply one more bad choice made by a person who believes the best of the Star War movies -- The Empire Strikes Back -- was really the worst of the movies -- when in fact, it was the only one worth seeing in the first place.
Lucas tends to make things silly, such as his rewritting the script to reflect his teenage point of view.
I'll be seeing this film as many others will. But I'm pretty sure it won't hold up to the original. How can it? None of the others did.
