Indiana Jones and the Lack of Alternate Clothing

here are some pics from the imminent film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. pay attention to them as you remember the "classic" trilogy of Indy films.




never mind that Harrison looks rather old (i think we can all deal with that), look at what he is wearing. this one is supposed to be set some 20 years after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, yeah? and Indiana Jones is still wearing the same clothing????

let's put this in context, shall we? this means that, for 20 odd years, Indiana Jones not once went clothes shopping, and nor did anyone give him any new gear to wear. i mean, full credit to the manufacturers of his jacket and pants, then, but come on! even Han Solo wore a different outfit in each of the Star Wars films, and it is not like you saw many shots of intergalactic clothes emporiums in the background of any class space battles. for heaven's sake, even John McClane had a brand new vest at the start of each Die Hard escapade!!


as for what's happening in any of these pictures, don't ask me, i have no idea. i mean, despite the clothing issue, it still looks like it will be quite class!!

there is one class development in these pics, mind. look - Indiana Jones is using AN ACTUAL PROPER TORCH with BATTERIES and a GLOBE. this makes a change from the usual handy stick or bone and tin of paraffin he uses to see his way - the one that he always lights with a zippo or something, yet never appears to smoke and thus would not have a practical or rational reason for owning.
