E-mail topics: LDS-bashing, boo-boos, DVDs

Last week's column on the Mormon-bashing episode of "Cold Case" generated more e-mail response than I've ever received.

I sometimes forget that there are people out there reading this stuff.

Among those missives, several readers said that the new NBC show "Revelations" ran a recent episode in which a man identifies himself as a Mormon and then beats a law-enforcement official to death.

Let's hope this isn't a new trend. There are so many police procedurals on the air right now, it could really get ridiculous.

• A COUPLE OF weeks ago I wrote about ads shown on movie screens and heard from several alert readers regarding an error I made. (I also heard from one of my sons, who took great pleasure in finding a mistake in the old man's column.)

I suggested it was odd to see two sound-system ads back to back, one for Dolby and one for THX. But I am informed that THX is not a sound system; it is a quality-control system for overall presentation, certified by Lucasfilm annually to maintain a superior standard.

Sorry about that. But, hey, I still don't have a cell phone.

• MY LONGTIME Deseret Morning News colleague Jerry Johnston pointed out a mistake in the Sunday TV magazine that runs in the paper each week — a mistake that clearly indicates the movie-review capsules are not written locally.

The "The Home Teachers" listing reads:

"Chaos strikes after two disparate men seek home schooling."

Well, at least the chaos part is right.

• IN HIS INTERVIEW with Time magazine, George Lucas confirms that a new Indiana Jones film is on the fast track, with a plot idea Lucas himself came up with, and which he says, with characteristic modesty, is "brilliant."

He wouldn't describe the idea, except to say that it's "vaguely in the realm of the supernatural." (As were the first three Indy films.)

He added: "We have to accept the fact that Indiana Jones is an older man. But it's been hell getting a script out of it. Steven (Spielberg) is committed to shooting it next year."

That would put it in release either late 2006 or sometime in 2007.

As Ford will be 63 in July, "Indiana Jones and the Great Social Security Scam" perhaps?
