No, not the semi-reviled explorer! The semi-reviled writer and director! You’ve got a day off, there’s no family celebration, and there’s nothing whatsoever to do…so you might as well spend Columbus Day with Chris Columbus, as he’s got something for everyone. Well, his movies. We understand he’s got plans that day.
Any time I hear a new Indiana Jones 5 rumor, I think of the South Park episode where Spielberg and Lucas rape Indie. It looks like Indie had better keep his pants down for a little longer, because they’re not quite done with him yet.
