Film Detail has a truly exhaustive list of links about not only Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull but all the other Indiana Jones movies as well as other Spielberg-related stuff. One great find: this YouTube excerpt of Wim Wenders's Chambre 666, 1982 film in which the director asked a group of colleagues, including Spielberg and, also in this clip, Antonioni, to comment on the future of cinema while sitting in a Cannes hotel room. Spielberg's there with E.T., and, remembered today, his thoughts about budgets, schedules, the money people and the future of cinema seem almost wistfully ironic.

Wow. It's not even what Spielberg says, so much as how he says it. That's undoubtedly the most off-the-cuff I think I've ever heard him speak. #posted by Anonymous @ 5/18/2008 12:37 PM
Amazing. His work is so instrumental in the creating of the current environment in Hollywood. Not saying he did it deliberately, in fact I think this interview proves he didn't but hell... even Scorsese says "there's only one Steven Spielberg." The rest of us have our hands full just trying to reliably appeal to one demographic. Let alone all of them. At the same time. #posted by Anonymous @ 5/19/2008 7:39 PM
i keep thinking Cate Blanchett is going to speak English with a German accent in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because Jones tends to go after Nazis, but, of course, the bad guys are Russian this time #posted by patrick @ 5/22/2008 6:03 PM
Spielberg just pictured a Future he's afraid of and is one of the few to make it this way. Nice one. #posted by GPSchnyder @ 6/09/2008 4:36 AM
