Oh, Mr. Ford. Who am I to tell you that you should not do another Indiana Jones movie if that is what you want? While yes, it got people to finally go see one of your movies again, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull put a filthy stain on what was one of the greatest trilogies in all of cinema. Despite my attempts, I cannot disassociate the latest excuse for an Indy movie from the other movies and I cannot forgot what I saw on the screen this past May. There is no undo button. No memory wipe that I so desperately want. If I sound harsh, I apologize, but you, Mr. Spielberg, and Mr. Lucas hurt my feelings when you insulted me and my nineteen years of eager, child-like anticipation for the latest Indy installment. Of course, Mr. Ford, when you read my review last May, you realized all of this already.

So, when I hear you talking about a fifth Indiana Jones movie, I can’t help but think how so completely unnecessary it is. Outside of the monetary benefits for all of those involved, I can’t possibly fathom how anyone considers it a good idea to make another. Do you really want to bring down the morale of loyal die-hard Indy fans like me even more? Sigh.

Well, Harrison – can I call you Harrison? – imagine my disappointment when I heard you say that George Lucas was hard at work “in think mode right now” on the next Indiana Jones story, which you called “crazy but great.” So why another sequel?

“It’s automatic, really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it’s not surprising that some people want to do it again,” Ford said. “Really, it comes from the ethos, from the ether. It’s natural. It’s a way of nature, of course, success breed opportunities. … It was a calculated business risk but I believe it paid off. I was somewhat surprised and gratified to see it did the business that it did. It was successful in almost every market.”

I feel the need to call you out, old pal, because you were my idol growing up and I respect you far too much to let this silence between us go on any longer. Stop making shitty movies. Just stop it. Science proves that another Indiana Jones has a 99% chance of being a shitty movie, just like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I know sometimes when you have tried something different and interesting – like the somewhat recent K-19: The Widowmaker and the upcoming Crossing Over which is already in a lot of trouble – people don’t necessarily embrace it, but that is just the way it goes sometimes and this doesn’t give you a free opportunity to just shrug your shoulders and make stupid fucking shit like Firewall just because you think that is what people want to see you in. You are one of the most respected men in the business, so why don’t you call up some writers and directors with actual talent and do something that doesn’t suck.

So yes, Harrison, I am sitting her behind my crappy computer in my small little room in the middle of nowhere hoping to the gods of Hollywood that this never happens and that you wise up and don’t go down the same path of other great actors who don’t give a shit anymore like De Niro and Pacino. It’s not that I am mad, I’m just disappointed. You know better.
