Something for all the fans who believe that Harrison Ford is getting too old to play Indiana Jones again, that Ford can no longer kick ass.
Well, Harrison Ford still can! Ford proved experience wins over youth, when he humiliated young British star Paul Bettany in fight scenes for their new movie Firewall.

Bettany, 34, spent three days attempting to 'beat up' the Indiana Jones actor in choreographed shots, but insists the 63-year-old actor is unbreakable in a fight. Bettany says, "I was just trying not to get bruised. I wouldn't want to tumble with Harrison Ford in real life. He's a tough son of a bitch. I threw that man through a window seven times and he landed on his head, got up, rebuilt the window with the crew and then got thrown through it again. I hit that man in the stomach and he said, 'Could you just land it a bit harder so I could feel it?' So I landed it a bit harder and he wanted a bit more so he could react to it. Finally, I just wound one up and let loose on him and he said, 'That's it!' It was the most humiliating day of my life."

Indiana Jones fan and collector Lon Mills has created a new Indiana Jones fansite entitled IHateSnakes.com. His site is dedicated completely to Indiana Jones memorabilia. Here follows Lon's official press release:

Carmel, Ind. With Star Wars getting all the attention from the media and collectors, the Indiana Jones franchise, the other successful property at Lucasfilm, has disappeared like the artifacts Indiana Jones finds himself on a quest to locate.

As the news of a fourth film grows stronger, the new Web site IHateSnakes.com is dedicated to providing news regarding collecting memorabilia, new and old, from the Indiana Jones series and to provide an electronic outlet to display the collection of Lon Mills.

Content for the site will include product reviews, updates to Mills' collection, reports on new Indiana Jones items to hit the market, and feature commentary about Indiana Jones collecting. While other Web sites capture news on anything and everything Indiana Jones, this site is niche to the collecting side and acts as an ongoing collecting blog for Mills.

The Web site will be updated frequently with plans to add new sections in the future.
