On Friday I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with the family. I thought that the background story line about the crystal skull, etc. was crap. Essentially George Lucas circa Star Wars Episode 1, crap. In reality, however, that doesn’t really matter. The background story is nothing but the MacGuffin anyway.
