I watched a thing on one of the science channels the other night about "The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls" and caught myself laughing out loud at several points. The lengths the people went to to attribute some paranormal, spiritual qualities to the glass skulls was pathetically humourous.

Because of this, it's no surprise the movie is so bad. It's hard to make a blockbuster on such a flimsy premise. Even The DaVinci Code was better, and it was all trumpery.

Oh good. I wasn't the only one who saw that weird piece of crap on Sci-Fi. I had to turn it off after 30 minutes! The stupidity was overwhelming. Even the History channel at their best UFO craziness wasn't this insulting to your intelligence.
I was appalled, and it didn't bode well for the movie they were coat-tailing on. I was ashamed for the NBC reporter guy-Hester Whathizname- who was hosting this load of moonbattery pseudoscience.

If it was the same one I watched, it was about Archeology and the influence the Indiana Jones series had on attracting young people to carriers in Archeology. That was the first part. Then, it went into these glass skulls and really trumped up a bunch of wackos who believed in their qualities. That's when I changed channels. It ruined the entire program.

Just saw it today and it was just Okay. Could have been much better. I would really like to know what some of the other scripts done were about. Anything with Lucas trying to write is Bad. Lucas even admits he is a so so director and not a good writer.
I think they could have had a better story even with an aging Indiana Jones. Also Karen Allen really did look old and perhaps should not have been in the movie.
Okay way to kill 2 hours and there are worse pictures out there.

You will not be laughing when the skulls save us on December 21, 2012. Of course it will not matter since Skynet goes online on April 19, 2011 and becomes self aware on April 21, 2011 - Judgment Day. :-)
