In correspondent Kent Jones' video segment on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show last week, he gives his take on actor Shia LaBeouf's reported mention of an "Indiana Jones" sequel.
The movie industry has suffered from the sequel virus for years. While I expect the studios to discuss another Indiana Jones flick, I agree with Kent Jones that it may be a step in the wrong direction if they do one.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" made a boatload of money (more than $780 million worldwide). That's all well and good but there's a downside: The side effect of grinding out yet another film that turns out to be critically shaky, like Crystal Skull, is that it may degrade a fine collection of movies (before Skull) and an awesome character like Indiana Jones.
Ah, just watch the video -- it's funny.
