   So, like many eager fans, I was lucky enough to get to watch the trailer to Indiana Jones 4 this morning, it was half teaser, half trailer….. but with enough little Easter eggs to give us a glimpse of what the movie has in store for us this May, and it seems pretty interesting.
   
   Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is not the latest in old men trying to re-energize their old franchises (i.e. Terminator 3, Rocky Balboa, Live Free Or Die Hard, and Rambo), it may actually be the first, as it has been in pre-production since the mid-90’s and it seems every year since 1995 they’ve been promising us it’s only 2 years away, it’s only now that it’s actually happening. Seems it’s a lot harder to find a script that Spielberg, Lucas and Ford ALL agree on than we thought.
   
   Anyway, like most film geeks who grew up in the eighties I was tinkling my pants as the trailer buffered on IndianaJones.com. And I was pleasantly surprised with the trailer. I don’t know what I was expecting, I guess I was assuming it would find a way to disappoint me, but to my relief, it looks really fun.
   
   First thing it shows from the new movie is a character telling Indy, “This ain’t gonna be easy” to which Indy replies “Not as easy as it used to be.” I liked this, this says to me, Indy has aged, making him more vulnerable, now lets see how he gets himself out of these predicaments. To my surprise, the next shots are of him swinging around with his whip like Tarzan, smashing through windshields and tossing guys out of trucks with only the tap of his elbows. He’s Superman! Drinking from the Holy Grail really worked! He’s invincible and has super powers, This surely is a new Indy. Why not?
   
   
   
   It’s also interesting to note that all this takes place in a warehouse full of large boxes, suspiciously similar to the warehouse seen at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
   
   
   
   We also catch a glimpse of Cate Blanchett, whose hair looks very much like a wig, looking at a Box that says Roswell, New Mexico.
   
   
   
   Hmmmmmm……. Is Indy moving into alien territory now? That would explain why the crystal skull looks like an alien skull. We’ve all suspended our disbelief during the Indian Jones movies for all the mystical stuff, it will be interesting to see if the audiences will accept aliens. With Spielberg at the helm, you gotta give it the benefit of the doubt, he has a good track record with aliens (E.T., Close Encounters).
   
   
   
   Lastly, we learn that Shia Labeouf is indeed Indy’s bastard child, most likely conceived with Karen Allen on a large boat during Raiders, asking his father, “You’re a teacher?” to which Jones replies “Part-time.” Very bad-ass.
   
   
   
   So, with glimpses of tribesmen, booby traps, people dressed like it’s the 40’s even though it’s the 60’s, and Nazi-like villains, this may be the Indiana Jones sequel we’ve been waiting for. Here’s hoping.

   My Top 5 Secret Crushes: REVEALED!

   Everyone knows that Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie and Carrie Underwood are big time super-hotties. It’s completely expected that all of us men should find them sexy and irresistible. But what about the OTHER sexy women in the world? You know who I’m talking about. These are the women that aren’t flaunting themselves on the covers of Maxim and FFH. They’re the women that you find completely sexy but won’t tell anyone else about because you’re afraid you’ll be laughed at. We all have those crushes that we like to keep secret so nobody thinks we’re weirdos. But I think it’s time that all of us men came out and be verbal about the unconventional goddesses that make our hearts skip a beat whenever we see them. Now seems like a good time for me anyway, since I’m getting married in a few weeks and can never talk to or look at another female again. So here we go, MY top 5 secret crushes. P.S., I'm having a lot of trouble with the blog setup, if anyone can help that would rock.
   
   5. Helen Mirren (Silver Fox Award)
   
    
   
   Most guys over 40 would probably agree with me, but maybe not my fellow 24-year-olds. Who cares, Helen Mirren is SO completely hot. At 62 years of age, the star of such movies as Calendar Girls and Teaching Mrs. Tingle still makes me melt. Don’t let her portrayal of such plain and ugly characters as the Queen of England in The Queen and Mrs. Wilson in Gosford Park fool you, she is 100% bodacious. This is one actress I could play Harold & Maude with (me being Harold and her being Maude, of course). Here’s a creepy video tribute some lonely man put together about her. Enjoy.
   
   
   4. Nina Conti (Most In Touch With Nature Award)
   
   
   Up-and-coming British ventriloquist comedian, Nina Conti,  from Britain walks around with a male monkey puppet named Monk. She banters with her felt friend as if he were a real person, and disturbing as that may be, I somehow find myself wishing it was I who was sitting atop her delicate hand. She does a man’s voice eerily well and her humor is a little less than lady-like, not to mention whoever dates her is the third wheel by default; But what can I say, she’s cute.
   
   
   3. Alia Shawkat (Freckle Face Award)
   
   
   The ginger star of the tragically cancelled series “Arrested Development” may have more freckles on her than there are sands on the beach, a round face, and frizzy hair that you can mop a floor with, but she’s oddly sexy. Sexy enough, in fact, to wish you were related to her (If you haven’t seen the show, you wouldn’t understand). The problem with finding her so hot while watching her on Arrested is that, even though she may have turned 18 a few months ago, during all 3 seasons she is pure jailbait. That’s why I can’t tell anyone. Here's another creepy video tribute.
   
   
   
   2. Laura Ingraham (Sexiest Neo-Con Award)
   
   
   Whether you agree with her conservative views or not, there’s nothing sexier to the ear than listening to Laura Ingraham on the radio. Her talk radio show, which focuses on culture and politics, is really just an excuse for her and her producers to sit around and giggle for a couple hours a day. It’s refreshing to see (or actually hear) someone so intelligent let the schoolgirl in her out.

   
   
   

   
   
   1. Carolyn Kepcher (Scariest Babe Award)
   
   
   Is there anything sexier than a women that could kick your a** and swallow your soul? Answer: No, and Carolyn proves it. This chick is cold as ice and that makes her so hot. Donald Trump’s former right hand lady on “The Apprentice” could have the Trumpster fire you quicker than Speedy Gonzales with just one word. She may dress like a man, and have a stare scarier than the Grim Reaper’s, but underneath that rough exterior is probably the most passionate woman to walk the Earth.  Here's another creepy stalker video of Carolyn finally letting her hair down by season four, to show off what a fine woman she is.
   
   
   So there you have it, I have exposed the deepest part of my soul to a bunch of strangers and I have to admit it feels pretty good. What about the rest of you? Who have you been afraid to admit harboring steamy desires for?
