Apparently there was a reason to watch other than Britney’s ‘comeback’… Seems Indy IV’s title is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and TFN has the press release to back it up.

Potter! Potter!
The release date for the DVD of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is now being reported as December 11.
With the start of filming for Half-Blood Prince just around the corner, more casting news is finally becoming available. David Thewlis will be returning as Remus Lupin and James and Oliver Phelps will apparently be back as the Weasley twins (woot!).
Oh, and Daniel Radcliffe is nervous about being naked on Broadway.
And the publicity continues….
With the September 18th release date for A Dog’s Breakfast rapidly approaching, the interviews with David Hewlett really get going.
A great interview with DVD Snapshot about both ADB and the joys of becoming Rodney McKay.
And GateWorld talks to David about his many due dates; including SGA Season 3, ADB and a new baby.
Nekkid Natalie!
Is this the type of news that we report at Club Jade? If you have no desire to see Natalie Portman’s parts, don’t see the short film Hotel Chevalier that apparently has something to do with her upcoming film The Darjeeling Limited.
Natalie Portman Smells Good
Ads running in the Los Angeles Times for the upcoming Natalie Portman film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium will feature scratch-n-sniff ink that smells like a cake.
This is something I could totally get behind….

SW.com talks Young Indy DVDs
This article on starwars.com gives an in-depth tour of disc 1 of the first volume of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (aka The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles) DVD set. You might note that the second part of the episode (taking place in Tangiers) never aired on TV, as it was filmed after the show left the airwaves, and bridging part that connects the two halves.. filmed in Tunisia in 1997, during the production of The Phantom Menace. Also, 4 documentaries on archaeology, the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, T.E. Lawrence, and slavery.
A copy of the official release describing the whole set, along with some more box art and disc art is here on starwars.com.
So will there be in-depth articles on all 12 discs? Stay tuned.
