BOOM, you heard it right. Speilberg is making a movie with COWBOYS... and... ALIENS! What the hell? I'm pretty sure something like this was mentioned in the last chapter of the Bible. Then bad things happened.

James Bond and Indiana Solo in the same movie? Again..?* NERDGASMIC!








*I mean seriously, again? Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Spielberg, staring Sean Connery (Bond) and Harrison Ford (Indiana Solo)... Spielberg is sending a message here...
 
Sean Connery, don't you mean Daniel Craig?

Saw the trailer in the cinema yesterday.
 
Both those guys are martini drinking, womanizing, certified James Bonds.

Come now, all true nerds know that was "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," not "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
