Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls

[Commander]

Did anyone see the new Indiana Jones movie about the Crystal Skulls? How far from reality is it? The crystal skulls are real artifacts from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica ... I'm just wondering how Hollywood butchered it up.

I haven't seen the movie, but I have seen the next best thing - The Indiana Jones special on the History Channel. The program gives some background on the crystal skulls. For example, one of the more impressive skulls is currently in the possession of "skull Keeper" Joann Parks. Ms. Parks' great supernatural power enabled her to receive a rather indignant telepathic message from the skull informing her that his name is not skull, it is Max. Apparently Max is a very common name among 10,000 year-old skulls from Guatemala, kind of like John in 12th century England or Britney in 21st century America. Rather than keeping him jailed in a museum, Ms. Parks shacked-up with Max several years ago (way to go Max!). Max now travels the world curing low back pain for a fee (apparently crystal skulls do not need a medical license). Hopefully one day Max can join his brothers, Jake and Ruprecht, when all of the crystal skulls come together to create an ancient alien computer that will once and for all tell humanity exactly what its problem is (pretty sure Bill Clinton, Flavor Flav, and Canada are to be addressed specifically).

Although I have taken some liberties, this is pretty much the story from the History Channel. Interestingly enough, Bigfoot was not mentioned in this documentary.

I think Discovery Science has bought the exclusive rights to Bigfoot.

I must admit - I am looking forward to it - I love a good "adventure" along the lines of "Indiana Jones" and "Alan Quartermaine"

I've seen that movie, it's really good but the last crusade is still the best.

Definitely. The Nazis were better villains.

I agree, what commie carries a sword around?

The Soviet girl did.

The Soviet girl did.
I know, I was actually being sarcastic, because not many female soldiers carry around swords.
