The Weinstein Co. sent out invites to press late yesterday to attend a coffee-and croissant announcement event this morning at the Martinez beach, something about a big literary acquisition. Then the Woody Allen/Vicky Cristina Barcelona press luncheon happens at the Martinez Palme D'Or restaurant from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. Some will slip out around 12:20 pm in order to get down to the Palais (a good half-mile walk) for the 1 pm Indiana Jones screening at the Grand Lumiere, which is going to be a madhouse. Then comes the Indy 4 press conference at 3:30. And then the writing of the full review, which I probably won't finish until 5 pm or so. (11 am NY time.)

Man, I'm so jealous right now.
A 1pm show full of critics dissecting the movie in their minds like its The Godfather.

Jeff - I have 100% confidence that you are going for the ride and an old-school lesson in how to do a movie like this. Uncle Festus, weed-killer quips in this - no thanks.

Indy fanboys await the truth.
We want it ranked with where it stands in the Indy family. Better than Temple; as good as Crusade - that's all I need to know to then work out my expectations going into the 'economy-class' midnighter on Wednesday.

I don't even think it matters how Indy 4 ranks among the prior three....this one just symbolizes how much fun we take out out of films in todays age...by over-reporting and over-analyzing the hell out of them.

Yes, I've stayed up all night.
