The 'PC' thing to do would be to TRASH anything Lucas even breathes on, much less produces, but gorram it, Crystal Skull was SO MUCH FUN!!! So what if Lucas messed up the SW franchise, Indy still rocks!! I think the hardcore geeks (I include myself here) need to just chill on the Lucashate, let go of the Darkside, & enjoy what is probably Indy's last real adventure.
And regarding the fridge scene:
"Fanboys, cover your eyes- cover your eyes!!!"
*Taps chest twice, then rest two fingers across the left side*
"Hermano...."

Raiders was THE BEST ADVENTURE MOVIE ever- until they opened the Ark.
*Oooohhhh. Ahhhh. Spirits...angel turning all skeleton...Nazi's getting what they deserved...*
Wrathful God?
Satan's window into this plane?
Who T F knows!!!!! Honestly, we were so dazzled by the preceding 110 minutes, they could have done almost anything, and we would have bought it.
Basically, it was a kids in a candy store ending.
THEN Doom had Indy 'covering his heart' and 'understanding the magic of the rocks'(even though in the next chronological episode, he doesn't believe in hokus pokus),
THEN Crusade presented us with a centuries old knight of the first crusade that happened to speak impeccable modern English, and who's ending, while extremely and satisfyingly character driven, again made as much sense as lead balloon.
Please. These movies never really made any sense. I mean like, NO sense.
And that's why I like Crystal Skull- it fits in PERFECTLY with the other three.
IMO.

2. I hated the Aliens From Another Dimension idea. All the others dealt with religion and the supernatural, and now, just because it takes place in the 50s, it has to be about UFOs?
Quote:She sure seemed to have fun scarin' him with that jeep-jump, eh?
3. I hated what they did to Marion. In the original movie, she was Indy's equal. "We're goddamn partners!", and she really was! In Crystal Skull, she's lowered to third wheel!
Seriously, I was just so glad she was in it, I didn't think about that- it's a fair criticism.

So you think that if a topless stripper popped out of the Ark and started a dance...we'd have bought it?
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.
