That’s basically what Uncle George is saying about the fate of Indy 4. It’s not as much an attempt to head off high expectations as it is another finger pointed in the face of fans who have the audacity to expect him to actually deliver a quality product. Does this sound familiar?

Just a movie. If it was “just a movie”, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to sweep the decks of all possible criticism to absolve himself of any responsibility if things should not turn out well. If it sucks. Hey, all I’m doing is sitting out in the audience wanting to get submerged in the world of Indy again. If it stinks, that your fault, George, not mine. (And I’d hate to have brush Steven with the blame as well, but he’s part of the package, so…)

The PT stunk, and he could have learned the lessons from that and moved on. But he turned the fire hose on us who were “blinded by nostalgia” or “had their own vision of the movies in their head for X years”. Are we gonna hear that whine again when the new Clone Wars cartoon and the live-action series come out, and those not enamored with them will yell loud and long about it?

I guarantee it.
