Carrie Fisher has a blog (and was on NPR)

First the book, now a blog! She’s been posting regularly for the last couple of weeks on a weblog at CarrieFisher.com. Topics so far range from a party for Milk (with Ewan McGregor!) to the metal bikini and dwarf-eating hippos. A pretty good start, if you ask me. (via)

In related news, Fisher was on NPR this weekend, as a guest on the quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! You can listen to the show online at the link. (via)

Second Indy trailer on Iron Man, Indy’s role examined, and more

Like no one saw this coming: the second trailer for Indiana Jones and the Crystal King of Skulldom will be coming out on Paramount’s Iron Man on May 1 (which is being pushed forward 4 hours – from a midnight show to 8 pm showings). And the most important news about the Indy IV trailer: It’s 1 minute and 49 seconds. Apparently, they plan to stretch the whole movie out to 2 hours, 20 minutes.

NPR talks to real archaeologists about the most famous fictional archaeologist/treasure hunter. The Arizona Republic looks at Indiana Jones and the need for nostalgia.

Want to see Indiana Jones and the King Skull of Crystaldom before opening day (and can’t afford to go to Cannes)? There’s going to be a charity screening on May 18 in Oklahoma City.
