The year was 1973; George Lucas had just finished writing the screenplay for what would be his hit coming-of-age story American Graffiti. A poster on a wall caught his eye, an image of a dream of the old serialized films he enjoyed as a child. Films such as Buck Rogers, Zorro’s Fighting Legion and Spy Smasher flashed through his brain as he had the idea of bringing that type of B-level hero to the big screen. He would take this idea and flesh out a story of a college professor who moonlit as an archeologist adventurer. Little did he know that simple idea would yield one of the greatest and most enduring franchises in movie history as his character Indiana Jones has gone on to appear in five feature films over the course of 42 years that have grossed nearly $2 billion at the worldwide box office. For many, any time the character graces the screen,...

Carrie Fisher took the virginity of Indiana Jones. At least, that's how she told it while she was alive. Specifically, that's what she told me. In her own words: "I wrote it with George [Lucas.] We wrote Indiana Jones losing his virginity to Mata Hari. It went very well."
I had been asking about her work on the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, so this answer came a bit out of left field. However, it's a little-known fact that Fisher worked as a writer on many George Lucas projects, doing an uncredited polish on the scripts for the prequels and even coming up with adventures for Indiana Jones to go on in his TV series, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles."
So, how did Indiana Jones actually lose his virginity, and what part did Fisher play?

Naming horror movies is a serious business. It needs to sound scary, it shouldn’t give too much away, ideally it shouldn’t be named the same as someone else’s film, but it should also be memorable enough to stick in the brain. So unsurprisingly a lot of horror filmmakers have opted to call their movie “scary sounding adjective”.
But which word is scariest? We have ranked the movies based entirely on how alarming our perception of the adjective is. Come at us in the comments.
7. Ominous
Rain clouds can be ominous. Your boss saying “can I borrow you for a minute” can be ominous.
But to describe your child dying in an accident and a mysterious stranger offering to bring him back to life as “Ominous” feels like a bit of an understatement. That’s the plot of this film from 2015 by Peter Sullivan, which sounds like it...

God made man in his own image, and then man defied His orders, so man was cast out from His garden—or so the story goes in the Bible. Directors Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon made a movie based on this, and it’s the 2023 supernatural horror Nefarious. Jordan Belfi plays psychiatrist Dr. James Martin, who goes into a prison to decide whether a criminal (Sean Patrick Flannery) is mentally fit to be executed, but realizes he’s gotten much more than he bargained for. Shot almost entirely inside one room, the movie raises questions about man’s choices and actions with references to heaven and hell, but it quickly starts reeking of propaganda and not so much horror. Here’s what happens in Nefarious.

If you’ve been craving a new horror flick replete with political commentary, “Nefarious” might be the movie for you. The film, which features “Boondock Saints” star Sean Patrick Flannery as well as an appearance by conservative talking-head and conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck, saw its theatrical debut on Friday, April 14.
“Nefarious” features Flannery as a convicted serial killer named Edward. During his psychiatric evaluation, Edward claims to be a demon, and that the psychiatrist interviewing him will commit three murders of his own before their time together has concluded.
Reviews for the film have been less than kind, as it currently sits at 33% on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. But 96% of audiences who have seen the movie gave it a thumbs up, suggesting there’s more to “Nefarious” than meets the eye.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm back in 2012, the company immediately began plans to resurrect George Lucas' more popular media franchises. After a new trilogy and two spin-off films, "Star Wars" has since settled into a groove of scattered TV shows of varying quality, but Lucas' other most successful property, Indiana Jones, will finally see a return to theaters this summer in "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Harrison Ford, who played the title character in four previous movies, will be returning for one final appearance at age 80.
In November 2022, it was reported that Disney was looking to develop an Indiana Jones TV series for its streaming service, Disney+. This would be the second Indiana Jones series after "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" which ran from 1992 to 1996. That series covered two separate timelines, following Indy when he was 10 (played by Corey Carrier) and when he was 16 (played by Sean Patrick Flannery...
