New homage-to-George-Lucas-poster, inspired by TXH 1138s psychadelic mindscapes.
It’s for sale, even!
Ford On Indy 5
The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.

Avatar, The Movie, Not The Anime

Star Trek (2009) Mini-Review

When I finally do go watch a long movie, I’ll sometimes be re-cutting it in my head, imagining scenes that could be trimmed or left out entirely. Imagine [...]
