In Last Crusade, Indy's father drank from the Holy Grail, which made him immortal. Yet by Crystal Skull, he was dead.

This doesn't make any sense messed

Kazenji
Well that woman walked over that seal and of course the power from the cup was lost ??

Jovan
indeed, you can get immortality if you drink from the cup... but it only works if you stay inside the seal as the knight explains.

Jedireaper
Now thats was a truly great indy film...

queeq
It was good.

And yes, immortality only worked when you stayed inside and had a drink of water once in a while.

Jovan
once in a while? I thought once and that it would last forever?

Sadako of Girth
Yes....while you remain within the seal.
Leave and its buggered.

queeq
Well, the knight had certainly aged a bit. I doubt he was looking that bad when he found the grail. Maybe he stopped drinking from the cup.

Sadako of Girth
Or went outside for a while without the grail crossing the seal.

Mind you, without that exposition, I'm comfortable assuming that it took him x-amount of years to find it, and that he was old there.

I mean, who could covet the secret of eternal life more than those perhaps fearful of the unfolding realities of their twilight years...?

queeq
HEhehe,...

But that doesn't work. The tow brother returned after 150 years. People didn't get old in medieval times, so we have to assume the knight to be somewhere in their early thirties... And 150 passed before the two got back.

Sadako of Girth
The tow brother...? *Counter spelling-nazism* lolz

I hear you about historical life spans, but doenst that render the holy grail to be...well....useless as far as eternal life goes...?

Jovan
not at all, it gives what it promises: eternal life... just with a high prize stick out tongue

Sadako of Girth
stick out tongue The grand price of....eventual death through old age..?

Meeeeeehhhhhhhhh religious artifacts....
Never seem to do what they say on the tin....

This would make the cup the equivalent of any woman's skin moisturiser..... May delay wrinkling, but the years will catch up.

Bloody swizz. stick out tongue

Still if they over-explained everything, I guess it would fail to capture the viewer's imagination.

queeq
Well, they didn't in TLC, and that's why it works.

Sadako of Girth
Agreed.

queeq
Now let's fix KOTC.

Sadako of Girth
Easily done with cunning use of editting (by omitting everything past the warehouse scene).

queeq
laughing out loud

Sadako of Girth
The original master, past that point needs to be sealed in lead, concrete, and dumped in the north sea, just to be on the safe side. shifty

queeq
Why the North Sea?

Sadako of Girth
Closest to me other than the channel. As to get rid quick...!!!!
Poor old north sea though, Im sure it never asked for such treatment... stick out tongue

queeq
You're from the UK? Thought you were USA.

Sadako of Girth
*Queeq unmasks Sadako*

"Yup. A Brit all along..!"

"And I'd do it all again I tells ya!"

In fact the GMT line is located in my arse. stick out tongue

queeq
Does it hurt?

Well, good to know. I like the UK.

Sadako of Girth
LOLZ It does when the hour DST difference takes place but I just moves slightly to the west and Im ok... stick out tongue

We serve Stella here...!

You ever been over here...?

queeq
Yup. Lots of times. I just spent two weeks of holiday in the UK. My sisterlives in the UK so we come there fairly regularly.

Sadako of Girth
Oh cool... smile

queeq
Yup.

Sadako of Girth
Its been a shitty summer here though.
Today I feel compelled to actually celebrate the fact that I can see sun.
Makes a change from the muggy, grey miserable shite over the this last season that masquerades under the name 'summer'.

We had some sun today! Amazing.

Ironically, the most sun we had so far was... in the UK!

Sadako of Girth
LOLZ To revert to another classic Brit-ism....
"Bloody typical!" lolz

The weather was decent today....seeeee...? Register your disgust on the internet, and things can change for the better... lolz

You had to keep drinking from it, it's not just one drink and your immortal.
