Indiana Jones and the remotely believable story that doesn't include lost cities of gold and inter-dimentional alien beings made of pure crystal.

The beauty of them was the lack of over exposition....
The sense of wonder and mystery of the McGuffin... (that we would have to wait til the end of the movie to see)
They took the form of structured and interesting action/adventure movies. (Without performances/characters that would destroy the cred of what was transpiring on screen like John Hurt's and Shia Leboeuf's.
And they were pretty original too.
Anyone who has seen the Mummy and a few X-files episodes is gonna feel sickeningly bored with the concept, and tghe execution was like a poor parody of the previous three, by comparison.
Im a anti-theist and I hear you, Brother Kazenji, that on paper, we should have hated the MacGuffins, when compared to the Alien thing.
But no.
They screwed the concept up...screwed the movie up.
Whereas the first three movies were untouchable gold.

the role John Hurt played destroyed him...it was the worst role of anyone ever - especially for an actor of his caliber

We'll that'd make him a screen immortal.
To come back from such a brutal career killer of a performance as that and still be respected makes you inhuman.
It speaks more of the vast and awesome catalogue of work he had to his credit, than as a mitigation for the performance/the movie.

I guess that's true. Someone of his stature could bring it back, he's such a legend. I can watch a documentary on discovery about god-knows-what and still be interested...and to think, one of his major breaks included being chest bursted by and alien ^_^

And when the video of that leaked, it gave Trey Parker an idea for a South Park episode.

and every saga deserves and end
lets just hope his next role isn't: character aged late teens to early adulthood, has stubble because he forgot how to shave and is involved in a conspiracy that involves an artifact of major importance

What are you saying, Queeq...? You were born to play that role, or that you are that character...?
Unless you simply meant to type "It" but weren't up to it today...

Actually, I was serious there for a moment... I could see Lucas pull that kind of stunt and go all Howard the Duck on himself.
