George Lucas Ruins Another Franchise

It's a Sunday night and there's not much on but Spike is running an Indiana Jones marathon and we have reached the end.  Yeah, I'm that out of anything else to watch to I'm voluntarily watching "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

As I sit here wide eyed at the level of terrible that this movie and more specifically Shia Labeouf is (I can't even be bothered to spell check his name on IMDB), I realize I really shouldn't be that surprised or offended, should I?  Just go with me here...over 2 decades after the last installment George Lucas believes he FINALLY has a script that is good enough to pull Spielberg and Ford back.    Hollywood has some really short term memory b/c the LAST time George dusted off some old characters decades after their last appearance we got Jar Jar Binks.  But because his movies have made a bazillion dollars over the years and everyone my age has been dying for another Indy movie, Paramount says "go for it George!"  And suckers like me paid to see it and then even though we hate it watch it on TV...with commercials.  

This movie makes me sad...like Phantom Menace sad.
