However, I enjoyed Indy 4. I would like to see more but only if they focus on Indy and NOT the son of Indy! John I actually agree with you when it comes to Lucas. However, I enjoyed Indy 4.

But now I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys, too, so it’s a little hard on a practical level.” Is he talking about Steven? Steven already made "Jaws" and "Close Encounters" before "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", so by that time he wasn't just Lucas henchmen.

I like Fillion. He is a fine actor but these comparisons to Ford have to stop. He has nowhere near the charisma or screen presence as Ford. Ford, in his prime, was in a completely different league to Fillion. That is why Ford is one of the most successful actors of all time and Fillion is a third string character on Desperate Housewives. Sure Ford has lost his way over the years and its been a long time since he has done anything truly great but go watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and tell me that you seriously believe Fillion has the same amount of charm or charisma to pull that off?? Ridiculous. This Fillion delusion has to stop. I like Fillion. He is a fine actor but these comparisons to Ford have to stop. He has nowhere near the charisma or screen presence as Ford.

I think he's the best action director in the business, aside from maybe Cameron. Every time I see an action setpiece in a movie, I compare it to Lucas, WAY to many directors are in love with close ups, dark settings, and fudging the establishment shots. In a George Lucas action scene, you always know where everyone is, what they're doing, and the crap isn't happening in shadows to keep you guessing. “Piss poor director” is a tad harsh.

If you watch most of the DVD stuff on the prequels...He's an insane micromanager. Of course most directors are, but GL takes it to a ...wait. for. it...'Hole. Nutha. Level! GL's vision is best when it's kept broad. But he gets truly bogged down in the details. How about Radioland Murders? Labyrinth? People forget he was involved with these movies. Ofcourse, there was Howard the GD Duck, but I beleive everyone deserves a pass once in a while. I just want GL to let us see what other directors visions of what Star Wars would be like. I SOOO want to see Ridley Scott doing Tales of the Bounty Hunters, maybe Tony Scott doing Rogue Squadron, and maybe Robert Rodriguez doing Knights of the Old Republic. Gimme a series, and a movie every two years. Hell even Spielberg has an idea of what he'd like to do in the SW universe!!! Lastly, most people forget that there once was this small Computer Animation studio created by GL... Ummm…I’m not drinkin the Kool Aid on GL’s directing prowess.

George Lucas has gone to the well way to many times and I don't trust his creative ability anymore. As for Spielberg, no one was better in the mid 70's to the early 90's but he has lost his mojo. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was a major disapointment for me, and I know Im not alone. It did what no other film in the franchise was able to do, and that was bore me. That's coming from a guy who saw Temple of Doom 4 times in a theater. I love that film. Personally I'd like to see the reigns of this Franchise handed over to new talent who can breath some real creativity into it, and for me, that isn't George and Steven!.
