Indiana Jones is senile, spawns tiny potato clones

Empire has a new image of Indiana Jones 4 in their latest issue. In it, Indy is just chillin’…with a bazooka.

Now, I love the idea of Indy blowing shit up as much as the next guy, but am I the only one who thinks the actors next to Ford look a little too surprised? It’s almost like they were filming a scene, when Ford jumps in packing an RPG launcher from his own personal armory. Shia’s all, “HARRISON, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!” while Ford just looks at him confused. “What’s what?” Meanwhile, Spielberg’s over in the corner shaking his head, going “That’s our Harrison!” and laughing at how much publicity he’ll get off the priceless photo. I suspect Ford may be senile by now, so that’s entirely possible. Either that, or Indy 4 has a scene guest directed by Michael Bay. I’m not sure which one would be the more desired reason.

Sadly, if that happened that wouldn’t even be the oddest bit of Indy 4 news today. Much like Darth Tater and whatever crappy name they came up with for Spider-Man’s potato (Spider-Tot?), we’re once again going to have a Mr. Potato Head tie-in. When the hell did it become the mark of a big film to have a Mr. Potato Head tie-in? Can you imagine if they had an Oskar Schindler potato, or a Hannibal Lector potato? A potato that eats people would give children lifelong nightmares.
