This wasn't a Tom Cruise movie, but that last Indiana Jones movie had a horrible title. Can't even think of it now--something about a Crystal Skull.


Yeah, that one sucked like a Hoover upright on "high"---and I'm a hardcore Indy fan. And to think Georgie Lucas wrote the story & Steve Spielberg directed it! That just goes to show you that sometimes, one can start out with ribeye steak and still wind up with Hamburger Helper. Yuck.

Lamest parts: Indy survives an atomic bomb blast by hiding in a refrigerator (yes, no joke)---as far as science goes, it seems like Lucas & Spielberg consulted no less an authority than Marvel Comics, circa 1967; the whole "other dimension" concept---fhat the whuck, guys?!?; & Shia LeDouche's entire performance---to suggest that this pencil-necked, whiney geek was anything like Marlon Brando's classic character in The Wild One was an insult to the late great actor.

It would've been neat if Indy had banged Kate Blanchett's character in that film---she was like a Soviet dominatrix.   

It was cool, though, seeing Ford hook up with Karen Allen again. There was a potentially interesting story to be told there. Too bad Spielberg & Lucas missed it. 

Here's hoping these old farts crank out one more Indy Jones flick. One that doesn't suck. It would be sad if the franchise went out on a bum note like this.
