Hey, senior citizens can fight Nazis too!


ComingSoon.net is reporting that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have approved a script for Indy 4. It's just waiting for Harrison Ford's (at right, looking every bit his age, and for that matter, a bit like Dubya) approval, and for time in Spielberg's schedule. He's already got two movies ahead of this in the directing pipeline. They better figure it out quick, though. Wait too much longer and it will end up being called "Indiana Jones and the Search for the Best Early-Bird Special in all of Sarasota."

ComingSoon also has news about the long-rumored Simpsons movie, which seems to be moving into production. I hope this is being made as a thank-you to all their die-hard fans, because they're about 10 years too late to cash in on that puppy.

New Coldplay and White Stripes tomorrow. I've already got Coldplay pre-ordered from the iTunes store, which means I get two extra songs. Reviews seems to be mixed. MSNBC says it's a snoozer, New York magazine liked it, Rolling Stone says it never takes off, and The Times Online? Um, let's say cautiously positive. As for Jack and Meg's new one, I'll wait until I hear another song. "Blue Orchid" is a decent song, but their albums have been pretty hit-or-miss for me.
