He is cast as Indy's son. Harrison Ford still is Indy.
whew! I'm not saying that he's not a decent actor, but Indy requires more than comedic talent. It would be like casting Will Farrell to play Indy.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I like Shia LaBoeuf.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Last thing I saw Harrison Ford in was 'Firewall' (pity me). He almost needed a zimmer frame to get about, but the dog made it all worth watching.

I like Shia LaBoeuf.
I HAVE seen him in something. A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. The movie was a mess and a half but he was very good. Not a comedic performance at all. Is comedy what he's mostly known for?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's Shia LeBoeuf. Which, just.... wha?? Clearly they want to go young. Like, incredibly young.
He looks shockingly grown all of a sudden, is all I know.

Well, he's not playing Indy. Maybe he's playing Short Round.
If that character ever appears in another movie I will find a way to leap into the frame like in Purple Rose of Cairo and kill him with my bare hands.

Art Crawl!!!
Everything I've read is that Shia LeBouef is playing Indy's son. (Has Sean Connery been signed to the movie yet?)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Connery is still holding out. I'm sure it is all about money.

Nah, Tamara, what kind of crack are you smokin'? I'm sure when he's doing press junkets for the movie he'll tell everybody about how he was holding out for the right script. I'd love for an actor to one day turn around and go 'You know what? Yeah. I wanted more money'. They'd never get hired again, of course, but I'd respect them.

Saw this on TWoP:
Travis Yannan at pifeedback is reporting the show's officially cancelled and that scheduled episodes will probably be pulled for more House re-runs. I've not seen confirmation of this but Travis tends to have things straight.
