- Harrison Ford after the announcement that Indiana Jones IV will commence shooting in June.
He also says he is excited about working with his friends again.
I’m sad about growing up. There is this part of me cringing at the idea of IV. When I was twelve I stood outside the cinema gazing up at the gigantic cut-out of Indiana Jones, hat, whip, bandaged knuckles and covered in dirt/sweat/blood/dust alongside which the words “The hero is back” were emblazoned in fire red “action” lettering. Classic hero poster.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was right up there with Star Wars for me. It offered magic and adventure and archeological wisecracks. Much better than life. Much much better than school.
I doubt Harry will be able to pull off a Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven . I watch my heroes grow old.
I wonder if it will leave me feeling awful like the Phantom Menace did. But then again I think about Revenge of the Sith and how brilliant it was and I decide to have faith. Life can be so sad that you have to really throw yourself into really loving the things you love, the people you love, the animals you love, the music you love, the pictures, the books, the films.
So now I have decided I am going to get so excited about Indiana Jones IV, by the time it comes out in the next year or so I will be so excited that when the film starts and I hear the first bars of Da Da Dum dahhh, da da Duuuum, I will pass out.
That’s funny - a friend in Sydney was just telling me that her husband wants to call their kid Indiana, because he was obsessed with Harrison Ford as a little boy. What’s wrong with Han, though?
I think Han is a nice name too.
Han Cavill. Indiana Cavill. Hmmm
Luke Cavill
Leia Cavill
Anakin Cavill sounds good but will get shortened to Ani Cavill which is horrid.
It’s a bit Anal Cavity, isn’t it? Pete’s still not cracking on the Django Valentish front. But I’ll be buggered if I’m going to call my kids Chan and Wilco!
Anal Cavity LOL.
Our first choice is Kahless the Unforgettable. Which is the name of the founder of the Klingon Empire.
Kahlass the Unforgettable Cavill - This way I can push my son into being in a prog rock band, where everyone has similarly stupid names.
You got lucky with your surname though, romantic it is, how about these
Hugo Valentish - sounds like a large bottomed restaurant critic, whereas
Hugh Valentish - sounds like a handsome movie star with strong jawline rrrowrr!
Amir Valentish - Bollywood Heart throb (very white teeth)
Cheech Valentish - Stoner brown corderoy boy with fuzzy hair that no one fancies
Xena the Warrior Valentish - marries Kahless the Unforgettable Cavill - they give birth (amongst thunder and lightening) to a son named Conan.
Tudor Valentish - Goth, pale, redhead, long nails, vegan
Sebastian Valentish - Vampire, pale, despises people called Tudor
Rayne Valentish - EMO, cries, has a band called Tears in Rayne, kisses other EMO boys
Romany Valentish - confusing female experimental film director into Lesbian vampires
Brit Valentish - offspring of you, Pete, and Posh’n'Becks
Valentine if Boy
Valkyrie if Girl
That what I say!
