Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. -Says Shia LeBouef at the MTV gala in Vegas.

Is this true? If so what is so controversial about a crystal skull. Didn't Lucas promise controversy?

Hm. It's actually pretty cool. Crystal skulls.

Maybe Indy and ET will coexist?

 

[Chaldfont]

Nooooooooo!

Ah, who am I kidding. Even after the Star Wars debacle I'll still go see this.

The controvery is that they teleport you to another world where you can meet a godlike creature and then come back out of phase with our world. Oh wait that was SG1.

You beat me to it. Damn.

Ooooh...this means we get more South American style Jones action!

Maybe the controversy simply is this:

The widely known Mitchell-Hedges skull, located in Canada, one of the most beautiful skulls I have had the pleasure of seeing, is now shrouded in controversy. It is presently suggested that the skull is not ancient, but a work of more recent times, perhaps orchestrated by F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, himself, to promote interest and financing for his adventures. Coined The Skull of Doom', by some associates of the adventurer, actually a misnomer for a term used in the 1930s, The Skull of Dunn. Dunn was an associate of F.A., on the expedition to Luubantun, in 1927, which is when young Anna Mitchell-Hedges, then age 17, reports she found the skull in the ruins of a temple.

The world famous archaeologist Indiana Jones being duped by a modern fake.

The Mitchell-Hedges skull has always been controversal, ever since he (or his daughter) found it, a lot of people thought it was fake, because well, the guy was a bit shady.

Ok, maybe the skull is modern. But IIRC the concensus is no one knows HOW the M-H skull was made even with modern tools.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

My understanding is that the Skull is polished to a degree not possible for the people who supposedly made it centuries ago, but where available to the people who discovered it. And that the father went to the location where the daughter discovered it only hours before she did - and she found it just sitting on some rocks. And to top it all off, apparently the letters V, E, C, N and A are carved into the bottom of the skull.

Anyway, I hope the movie has a kind of silly-fun feel to it, not silly bad.

So I was reading Wikipedia and it said it would be set in 1957 and I was sad because of the no Nazi thing. Then I realised it was set in the 50s in South America. Now I'm happy because there is guaranteed to be Nazis...
