*CAUTION, THERE MAY BE SPOILERS IN THIS POST* Okay, to say first off, I thought the movie was great. But, it did have a few faults. I will say that the whole psychic thing was kinda a stretch and wasn't nessecary, and that the story line was a little rushed in my opinion. I also heard from many people about the whole alien thing was too much for ol' Indy to take. While I thought so at first, expecting maybe a quest for the "real dead sea scrolls" or something to that effect, I believe that it was ultimatley an good choice to make the plot around aliens. first of all, this Indiana Jones takes place in the fifties, which makes me think of Communism, High School, Cars, Greasers, UFO's, Nuclear Families, and Music, which was all covered in the movie. I think it hit home on all of those topics with, showing how Indy would have been in those days, how old he was, and what his attitudes were. Choosing to have aliens wouldn't have worked if the film took place in the 30's or 40's, but it fits perfectly in the 50's. Furthermore, I believe that Raiders wouldn't have worked if the movie was made any earlier than it was actually made, and that Crystal Skull couldn't have worked in the eighties, like all the other Indy films (no pun intended). I think people tend to forget that and write it off as another attempt at Lucas and Spielberg trying to put aliens in movies and trying to get more money. I have the same philosophy for movies as I do music, as that the artist doesn't create a work of art for anyone else but himself, meaning that Lucas/Spielberg made this movie because they wanted to continue and make another Indy film, and just hoped that everyone would like it. In fact, Lucas predicted that nobody would like it, and he was right. But I do like it, so there.

Watch, the admins are going to close this thread, then the last person who posted it will be humiliated. Or maybe not. Sorry, I just want to laugh.

I should continue to slack off, and not do work.

This is one of the reasons I don't drive. Although public transportation is starting to get on my nerves a little...

I'm going to play Pokemon Pearl, Watch Mythbusters, eat junk food, play music, then sleep. Sounds good enough for me.

NO U seemed the obvious choice here.
