Indiana Jones IV Gets a TItle

Well, it’s official. According to Sci-Fi Wire, Dark Horizons, and the official site itself, the title of the fourth Indy movie is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Internet fans the world over are already expressing their carefully pre-loaded outrage, perhaps disappointed that the title wasn’t Indiana Jones and the Wildly Overused Old-Age Joke like they’d secretly been hoping all along.
Despite my personal misgivings about Indy IV — or, indeed, any movie with Shia LeBoeuf in it — I’m not bothered at all by the title. I definitely heard worse in terms of speculation, and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull evokes the kind of classic, purple, pulp-adventure feel that made Indy famous in the first place. A cool title, Marion Ravenwood coming back — I may get really excited about this if I’m not careful.
