"A handful of different endings have been shot and are being shown to test audiences. In one, Indy dies but not before handing over his bullwhip to Phoebe’s character."

***So I guess that the plot line for “Indiana Jones and the Nursing Home of Doom” isn’t going over too well.***

How about a remake of BUBBA HO-TEP with Harrison Ford as a third inmate of a nursing home who thinks he is some guy named Indiana Jones (or maybe Tennessee Buck)!

Apparently the director took to Twitter to deny those reports of a female Indiana Jones.


This is a Clinton type denial. All it means is the female will not go by “Indiana” she will have another name.

The rumors I heard (and they are just rumors, is that both young Indiana dies and this means the old Indiana never existed and just fades away while the girl picks up the hat and wipe and the ending scenes are her doing all the iconic action found in the original series.)

Amen...there were two reasons that the Lara Croft flicks were worth watching...

The woman won’t be called “Indiana Jones,” will she? She’s just the next character in the series.

You mentioned Bionic Woman. She was the next bionic character created in the Six Million Dollar Man series.

Wonder Woman was a superhero, following male superheroes.

No one complained about that stuff back then.

(What I don’t like about the new lead in Indiana Jones is that she’s not American.)

And what “statistical data” are you talking about? Statistical data for what?

Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander were chosen for the roles for a reason.

You clearly can’t comprehend the issue. There’s a reason no one else is saying what you are.

I said no one complained about the characters.

Voting statistics. The 19th Amendment and the 1965 Immigration Act destroyed this country.

People have a right to vote, even people you disagree with.

And you’re kidding yourself if you think this country wouldn’t have shifted Left without the Immigration Act of 1965.

But, whatever... I’m finished talking about a movie I’m not interested in watching, anyway.

The best part of the movie is... not wasting time & money on it.

“That Kathleen Kennedy?”

How she gets a chance to screw up a second mega franchise, one can only imagine.

How many box office bombs does it take until these idiots realize that having a male actor in an iconic role replaced by a female -— DOES NOT WORK! How much money down the drain does it take for that simple fact to sink in?

Why oh why would they even make another one?

Crystal Skull didn’t turn this franchise into ashes bad enough for you? You need to have another one just to piss on the ashes?

This will BOMB... Harrison Ford is 80 years old, he could barely run in “The Force Awakens”... They did their best to make him look like he could still be a possible action character with camera angle tricks and other things, but seriously the guy was 75 years old then and could barely look like he was running.... now they want to sell him at 80 years old as still an action star?

I got nothing against Harrison Ford as an actor, but come on... there was no need for this.. and certainly no one chomping at the bit to gender bend franchise from 30-40 years ago.

I can’t believe anyone honestly thought this was a good idea... clearly someone did... and those people are idiots.

We already had a female character equivalent... that had a few successful movies of her own called Laura Croft. If you want to go woke with this sort of thing, you can desexualize Laura Croft, which I think they already tried in 2018 Tomb Raider.

Stop this nonsense folks...

Wonder Woman was her own story, she didn’t follow in some man’s footsteps or take up a man’s cause who lead before her.

In fact, WW actually has a very amusing backstory in real life her creator was pretty much a guy who got off being dominated by women.

The problem is called LAZINESS... they won’t create their own distinct characters, because they are too lazy to take a shot trying to actually create one.. so we just stick a woman in the costume and try to claim its something new....

I also can’t believe that Harrison Ford would consent to be Indiana Jones at age 80.

Indiana Jones should be in a classroom, he is a professor. Then kill him off. Have his son continue his legacy. It's pathetic watching Harrison Ford acting like he's still 35 when he's 80 now!

Perhaps the plan is really simple - kill off everything that defines American culture.

It is part of the stated and published list the communists produced stating how they could turn a country communist without firing a shot. One of those steps is to destroy and remake the culture.

This is the planned destruction of the USA and that means the movie industry has to be destroyed. No more classic movies to be loved by most and watched over and over. Nothing to bring people together. Everybody must be divided and isolated. Its replacement will be nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Communist Party.

The ghost of Leni Riefenstahl is smiling up from Hell.
