Huh.
Cool. Yawn. What else is coming out next summer? by AxeBox	Sep 9th, 2007 09:15:41 PM
Seriously. This movie is about exciting as the next Grumpy Old Men film.

You had to bring your son into it. haha I swear he said Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Christian Skull

It could be for real, but MTV has no credibility.

There's so much going on in that title . . . by SkidMarkedUndies	Sep 9th, 2007 09:20:18 PM
Where to begin?
Kinda weird by Fing Fang Foom	Sep 9th, 2007 09:20:31 PM
Kinda whack but kinda awesome. It has a real B-movie feel to it but isn't that the inspirato. I can feel that the title is gonna get some guff and people like "wha?" but it makes me wonder what the hell is THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL?! I wanna know... Sounds cool to me.
He must be tired after pulling everybodys chain by KongMonkey	Sep 9th, 2007 09:21:00 PM
I bet he's fucking with us. Thats one of the alleged titles, but everyone knows the next indy film will be called Indiana Jones and the (insert old joke here)

I'm only watching because my wife made me! by Abin Sur	Sep 9th, 2007 09:30:21 PM
But it's true - and of all the potential titles we heard for this movie, I have to say this one is the most kick-ass. Thank you Shia! Now apologize for Transformers.
Red by honestune	Sep 9th, 2007 09:30:59 PM
Herring. Wake up people. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Damn it. by Gilkuliehe	Sep 9th, 2007 09:31:26 PM
I was really hoping for INDIANA JONES AND THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS. That was an awesome title for me... So full or possibilities... This? Not so much.
Cool by tile_mcgillus	Sep 9th, 2007 09:37:00 PM
That has alot of potential...pretty darn good title!
A Public Service Announcement by ArcadianDS	Sep 9th, 2007 09:39:43 PM
This cannot be said enough times, and for the sake of those of you who wish to share this news, please avoid sounding like an idiot and calling him "SHE-uh". The correct pronunciation of his name is "SHY-uh". Also, Demi Moore is not "Demy", its "dem-EEE". Thank you and you are welcome.
Crystal Meth, Shia, Crystal Meth... by Smerdyakov	Sep 9th, 2007 09:41:23 PM
Get it right!
For The Record... by TheRealMoriarty	Sep 9th, 2007 09:43:07 PM
... I'm betting this is a joke. No way Paramount and Spielberg and Lucas decide to announce this via Shia at an awards show.
The Kingdom of Billy Crystal's Skull (of Doom!)?!?!? by YackBacker	Sep 9th, 2007 09:47:44 PM
Niiiiice!
Heheh... by Anti-fanboy	Sep 9th, 2007 09:48:00 PM
Shia's a funny guy. ...He was joking, right?
Indiana Jones and The Chariots of Gods? by Anti-fanboy	Sep 9th, 2007 09:52:46 PM
In keeping with the "In Search Of..." vibe.
great title by coachaaron	Sep 9th, 2007 09:53:13 PM
i love it. it sounds cool and is still a bit campy, serialized. ...i'm also thinking this is joke though.
Wait! So there's a Kingdom! And a Scull! And Crystals?! by Proman1984	Sep 9th, 2007 09:53:28 PM
Awesome! This gives me a good vibe. And yeah Spielberg owns me :)!
Chariots of THE Gods... by Anti-fanboy	Sep 9th, 2007 09:53:55 PM
eh, whatever, blow me.
That. Title. Is. TERRIBLE!!! by Nosferatu Jones	Sep 9th, 2007 09:57:00 PM
I hope to God that isn't the real one, because a) INDIANA JONES AND THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS is infinitely better and b) George Lucas also came up with THE PHANTOM MENACE and felt the need to retitle the first RAIDERS as INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, so we already know he's good at creating stupid titles to begin with. Stupid, stupid title.
Indiana Jones And The Destroyer of Morning Wood by Proman1984	Sep 9th, 2007 09:57:58 PM
And this is the FIRST and the LAST time I will attempt to make an Indy Title joke.
THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL? by one9deuce	Sep 9th, 2007 09:59:51 PM
That in and of itself is a long title! It sounds OK, but I think Shia was just having some fun. INDIANA JONES AND THE CITY OF THE GODS is a perfect title and I hope they go with that one.
This has to be bullshit... by Hairy Nutsack	Sep 9th, 2007 10:00:05 PM
There's no way they'd use a plot device featured in two separate episodes of Stargate, not even George Lucas would stoop that low...would he?

As confirmed by Spilberg Films here: http://www.spielbergfilms.com/ forum/showthread.php?p=104295& posted=1#post104295 I will take Steven Awalt word over Moriarty's any day. Sorry Mori.

oh... indy? i call shenanigans; that can't be the real title.
Indiana Jones meets Stargate? by Gorrister	Sep 9th, 2007 10:22:21 PM
Are they going to use the same prop they used in Stargate? Either way, I think this movie will become the 'Seventh Seal' in the Lucas/Speilberg creative meltdown. LOL I'll take the advice from the first movie: CLOSE YOUR EYES!
I really don't care what they call it. by TattooedBillionaire	Sep 9th, 2007 10:29:22 PM
They can call it whatever they want as long as the movie kicks my ass come May. That'w what matters to me most. The title Shia mentioned is fine. If it's a joke, fine. Like I said, make it a great movie and I'll forgive the boys for calling it whatever.
Indiana Jones and the Jerk Who Spoiled Everything! by MrMysteryGuest	Sep 9th, 2007 10:36:18 PM
That's what Spielberg's gonna call it now! :)
Britney's boobs loosened LaBeef's tongue! by MrMysteryGuest	Sep 9th, 2007 10:40:02 PM
Once he saw Britney in that outfit, Shia realized he was in Vegas and 21, so what the hell...
Spoiled? That was done on purpose. by Proman1984	Sep 9th, 2007 10:42:55 PM
MTV maybe a strange place to announce but this was certainly done with permisson.
Did Britney Spears come up with that title? by anchorite	Sep 9th, 2007 10:45:35 PM
Lame.
For the Record Part 2 by ZoeFan	Sep 9th, 2007 10:48:58 PM
If you're not watching the VMA's, you must be old (just kidding). P.S. by the nature Shia made the announcement, I wasn't sure whether to take him serious or not. However MTV.com is presenting it as real news.
BTW by TattooedBillionaire	Sep 9th, 2007 10:57:42 PM
Aren't Paramount and MTV both owned by, I believe, Viacom? If so, then it's probably not a joke. It's probably a marketing ploy in hopes to get 15-year-olds who don't know who Indiana Jones is to watch the movie. Just a few months back, MTV gave Transformers an award for something incredibly stupid, so I can't say I'd be too surprised if this was real.
If I was a betting man... by PirateEmery	Sep 9th, 2007 10:58:19 PM
... I'd say Shia is joking. Watch all the other statements he has done with regards to the movie: they have all been dripping with sarcasm and wit. He avoids answering truthfully every time.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by Playhouse	Sep 9th, 2007 11:17:31 PM
Fits right in with Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom. It's cheesy in just the right necessary way. Granted, I think The City of the Gods is a better title overall, but who knows if that had anything to do with the story of this film.
I would have preferred Indiana Jones and The Crystal Ki by hegele	Sep 9th, 2007 11:19:41 PM
but this'll do. Some of you have to grow up- we knew it involved crystal skulls for months now, stop acting so shocked and bitter.

No, it does not fit in. by Mister Man	Sep 9th, 2007 11:22:07 PM

OMG, THAT'S IT, MY CHILDHOOD BEING RAPED!!! by moto	Sep 9th, 2007 11:26:28 PM
"I can't take it anymore!!! I know, from the title of this movie, that this is going to be a piece of shit!!!! Why? WHY??? WHY??!?!?!?" Okay, that's my impression of the reaction to follow after this announcement here on AICN. Frackin' TBers. Not a big fan of the title, but all is forgiven if Spielberg delivers a great Indiana Jones movie, which I'm sure he will. You see, there's a BIG difference between Lucas and Spielberg. Spielberg still has it... and he's evolving over the last few years. Lucas shouldn't have returned to directing, plain and simple, after a 22 year break to make the prequels. But Lucas isn't directing it. And if anyone thinks that his bad tastes trumps the director that is Spielberg because Lucas is producer, then you're dead wrong. If Lucas was directing it, I'd be utterly fuckin'scared to watch Indiana Jones 4. But with Spielberg at the helm, odds are it's at the very least a fun and entertaining ride revisiting an iconic character that we love.
phoenixmagi by The Dum Guy	Sep 9th, 2007 11:26:34 PM
I was going to point that out, but thought naught, mainly 'cause I found my Two Face glass not too long ago and I'm wondering if it'll ever be worth something. And, Mori was wrong?!?! When has that ever been the case?
May be they spoiled it at the VMAs because... by Thundercats73	Sep 9th, 2007 11:26:41 PM
MTV is pwned by Viacom which pwns Paramount which distributes Indy movies... I think that might be it.
Indiana Jones and the KOCS by IAmJack'sUserID	Sep 9th, 2007 11:28:05 PM

OK, but a film's title is its essence..... by Mister Man	Sep 9th, 2007 11:30:20 PM
and this is alliteration on crack. "City of the Gods" sounded monumental....this sounds....errrr, uhhhhhh.......stupid.
"City of Gods" would've been better by Pizza The Hut	Sep 9th, 2007 11:34:00 PM
...even many of the ones we come up with on the board would be OK... "Indiana Jones and the Dogshit Mystery" works for me. Oh well... I'll live with it.

Well, so much for that LOL moment by Pizza The Hut	Sep 9th, 2007 11:46:06 PM

Well, gee. by RainJacket	Sep 9th, 2007 11:52:54 PM
This project has already ruined Indy for me. I tried to re-watch Raiders a few weeks ago and couldn't finish it because I kept thinking about Shia Labeouf. And then immediately Transformers right after that. I don't want to think about Shia Labeouf, Transformers, Crystals, or whatever while watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. I'm sure it will pass. 20 years from now, that is. The title is too wordy, too hard to say. Simply Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Skull would've been infinitely better. But, well, the same man gave us The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones so, well... fuck this. Seriously. In it's ass.
By all means express your opinions Mister Man by Carbonara	Sep 9th, 2007 11:53:36 PM
but was this quote... "this sounds....errrr, uhhhhhh.......stupid." the most intelligent opinion you could have expressed? I think not.

Please, move on by Mister Man	Sep 10th, 2007 12:01:35 AM
This isn't about you, or me. But a lame title, as lame could be.

I'll give you this much... the title isn't as cool as it could have been. But I'm prepared to live with it....The bottom line for me is this... if the movie itself it cool as we all wish it was.... no one will care less about the title.
so Indy is looking for The Phantom? by slder78	Sep 10th, 2007 12:05:45 AM

Crystal Skulls? by vettebro	Sep 10th, 2007 12:08:52 AM
Didn't they already use crystal skulls in Temple of Doom? Are they running out of ideas? Title is lame. About as good as "Attack of the Clones". Sheesh...
The reason people think the title sucks is... by Carbonara	Sep 10th, 2007 12:10:46 AM
( This is merely a possible suggestion ) But perhaps some of you are not familiar with "Crystal Skulls" in the first place. Crystal Skulls are REAL objects from history. Check it out people!
I was the first to put that link up wackybantha by Carbonara	Sep 10th, 2007 12:11:38 AM

Could not care less, actually by Mister Man	Sep 10th, 2007 12:12:01 AM
But I think many will. As has been obvious. It's about marketing, and common sense, and...well.....coming up with a great title. This is not a great title. Yep, it's just a damn movie, but for those of us who make movies our life, these things tend to take on a bit more importance. At 45, I remember the first time I heard "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - and it really worked. I HAD to see it. This title sounds less than intriguing.
thats a dumb title. by Cotton McKnight	Sep 10th, 2007 12:13:13 AM
i mean, really, really dumb. it actually gives attack of the clones a run for its money. and i like that movie.
crystal skull title by godhelpus	Sep 10th, 2007 12:13:42 AM
ok, sounds appropriate for Indiana Jones, but again why must classics always be fettered by filmmakers' desire to relive the past? They have to realize that making this film will inadvertently affect the original films. It better hold up! The only thing that makes me confident in this project is Spielberg at the helm, but he isn't the same director anymore either. This release next year could mark the sunset of the Indiana Jones concept, the group of actors seemed kind of sad at comic con, Harrison Ford seemed sad to be in the costume again, this will be interesting, I'm definitely hoping for the best in this case

Apathy is not an answer... by Carbonara	Sep 10th, 2007 12:18:05 AM
If you don't know or care about "Crystal skulls" then why are you here posting numerous posts about the title? I've known about crystal skulls since I was 6 years old... they are real ancient artifacts from history. This title indicates that this next Indy movie could be the greatest EVER! I'm REALLY looking forward to this one! :-D

Cheesy title by Zandunga	Sep 10th, 2007 12:34:55 AM
I know the Indiana Jones adventures are supposed to reflect the vibe of Saturday matinee serials of old, but this title is really damn cheesy. You can achieve the same spirit with City of the Gods, or even Destroyer of Worlds (the latter is especially cool because of its nuclear connection through Oppenheimer-Bhagavad Gita)..."Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is in the neighborhood of "Attack of the Clones": overdone fanboy cheese. I still have hope they will deliver, mostly because of Spielberg and Darabont, as well as the fact that aged Ford doesn't look too bad in his Indy getup. The other thing that worries me is that there's no true archeological history behind this, unlike the Ark of the Covenant and the Grail. It's a cheesy sci-fi bit...those of you who claim it's a true artifact steeped in real pre-colombian history are mistaken. It's been proven to be a lame 20th century hoax; some skulls were sold by some trickster, there was never a layered or complex legend to it related to the Aztecs or Mayans. Meh.
About Crystal Skulls... by Carbonara	Sep 10th, 2007 12:35:21 AM
A Crystal Skull is simply a model of a human skull composed entirely in crystal. It is unknown how many there are in the world, however myth has it that there are 13 throughout the world. The curious thing about crystal skulls is that while one assumes that they were carved out of crystal... there are NO carving marks on the skulls AT ALL. Some have theorized that the skulls were carved by an ancient civilization using either laser beams OR physic powers. The myth legend of crystal skulls are almost ALWAYS associated with UFO's , Bigfoot and aliens. This strongly suggests that the next Indy film will be steeped in mystery and the unexplained.

:::Carbonara::: Oh, good to hear.... by The Dum Guy	Sep 10th, 2007 12:40:19 AM
I was digging the fact that this Indy was going to go pseudo-science fiction. I wonder if they'll explain why God kills people that leaves their eyes open when the Ark of the Covenant is open? BTW, I think I ate a chicken carbonara at Quiznos the other day, does that menu item have anything to do with your' name?
The Dum Guy by phoenixmagi	Sep 10th, 2007 12:44:40 AM
I know what you mean. I just came across the Robin glass recently that I haven't seen in years. and City of Gods was sooo much better. it was more mysterious. this is a kingdom of a crystal skull. yay? its too wordy. it doesn't follow out of your mouth good. now Temple of Doom was bad a ass title that made one wonder what kind of doom was in this temple. Last Crusade hinted at closure and one last myserious adventure with Indy. Raiders is a perfect title. you don't know what ark it mentions, and you want to know who is trying to raid it.this lacks creativity

.... by Zandunga	Sep 10th, 2007 12:49:31 AM
What Carbonara says was proven repeatedly to be hogwash and the skulls have been studied time and again, only to determine they were of recent origin and possessed no such mysterious properties. Even then, it is unkown what they were supposed to do or what their larger significance was. Again, no story steeped in reality or history, unlike the previous films.
Indy and the ATTACK OF THE CLONES by aceattorney	Sep 10th, 2007 12:52:44 AM

There was a rumor about 2 months back by mr.brownstone	Sep 10th, 2007 12:53:47 AM
that 2 of the potential titles were Curse Of The Crystal Skull and Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Well shit, that turned out to be right on the money!
I wonder... by The Dum Guy	Sep 10th, 2007 12:55:19 AM
If at the end the find out the Crystal Skull is actually a K-Mart knock off made of cheap Mexican glass?
I suspect by mr.brownstone	Sep 10th, 2007 12:55:20 AM
anyone who doesn't like this title is just being an asshole.
Zandunga... wait... listen to me... by Carbonara	Sep 10th, 2007 12:59:16 AM
I'm NOT claiming that the skulls are true or the myths and legends of the skulls are true...I'm only indicating that this is a possible direction for the film. ultimately it's up to Speilberg and Lucas as to where they take this film.
Not real because it sounds stupid and its on MTV? by Bass Ackwards	Sep 10th, 2007 01:03:20 AM

Weiner Penis... by TheRealMoriarty	Sep 10th, 2007 01:23:35 AM
... since I haven't read Nathanson's draft(s), all I can comment on is the content of Darabont's, and your comments are waaaaaaaaay off-base. That script was filled with action. I count at least six major set-pieces, and each one is different. It's not just "put the old man in a rig and let him sit there," by any means. Far from it. This is the Indiana Jones we all loved in the original films, punching and riding and using the whip and his gun to get out of tight spots. It was far from "Henry Jones Senior." Based on your comments, it appears your knowledge of those drafts is all second-hand. Since I haven't read Nathanson's, I won't comment on what has changed, but it certainly wasn't a lack of action that scuttled the Darabont draft.
Yeah... by Zandunga	Sep 10th, 2007 01:28:53 AM
Not trying to slam the film at all; as I said, I have faith in the filmmakers. To be honest, at least it's an artifact that has existed in some form, I'm just disappinted about the oozing-cheese title. But in the end, I don't care as long as the film delivers.
More info on Crystal Skulls... by Zandunga	Sep 10th, 2007 01:35:01 AM
From another forum, "was just watching a Travel channel show about the great mysteries of the world and they did a segment on 13 crystal skulls, 5 of which have been found ins Central and South America. Apparently, when all 13 are put together they will help humankind get through the end of the world. I was telling my friend about this today and he said "That's crazy. It sounds like something that would be in an Indiana Jones movie." Later on, we were watching the VMAs and the movie title was announced...I turned to hima and we both said "No way..."

Wait a minute... Didn't some researcher - way back - claim that these skulls originated from Atlantis? I might be wrong, but if it's true (and Darabont / Lucas) picked up on this, the 'Kingdom' in the title might just turn out to be that watery city.
Moriarty - RE: The guy claiming to be Lucas' son by krack	Sep 10th, 2007 03:04:50 AM
There was a guy several months back that claimed he was George Lucas' son, and then later claimed he worked in the film's production, and was just using the kid's name as a cover. Anyways, he made a bunch of claims about the film, and you challenged him on his identity and then eventually came to the conclusion that he didn't work for the production and was basically making it all up. The only problem I have is that everything he claimed, to date, has come true. The one piece of information in particular that gets me, that he was the first person on the internet to mention (and which I have not seen confirmed or denied anywhere else) is that Shia's character's name was Abner "Mutt" Ravenwood. At the time, I thought this was the most ridiculous piece of info he was providing, but it's also now definitively true. Somehow this guy had some inside knowledge and he got run off the talkbacks. This needs to be revisited to see what other claims he made and to see if he can be tied to the production team.

PERFECT TITLE by skynetbauxi	Sep 10th, 2007 07:23:25 AM
this title not only perfectly captures the pulp feel of the franchise... the Crystal Skulls are an absolutely INGENIOUS choice for this movie! read about them at Wikipedia or several other websites! the Crystal Skulls are a "real" and very ancient myth... not christianity-related like the Ark or the Grail (which is a good choice in itself), but totally rooted in myth-reality, with all kinds of cool and weird things surrounding them.

I have dim memories of a Marvel UK comic from the 80s which had an Indiana Jones adventure involving a Mayan (?) Crystal Skull. Marvel UK tended to publish weekly comics with serialisation of a couple of Marvel US monthy comics (the headline comic and at least one backup comic), so I assume there was a Marvel US (or "Marvel") Indiana Jones comic with this story line. Prove me wrong.

Indiana Jones and the Ballerina Nazis by RetroActive	Sep 10th, 2007 09:45:58 AM
That's this title's "Wow Factor" equivalent. What's mysterious or gritty about a "Crystal Skull"? Lame. Lame. Lame.

what happened to City of the Gods... which was a great title and had series ending signifigance beyond the already great ender Last Crusade... this title to me suggests that they are def planning on continuing the series through shia

As bad as the Prequel titles were, at least they synced up with and were true to the format of the original three Star Wars titles. Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull means absolutely nothing outside of the context of the story. (Hopefully it will mean something WITHIN the context of the story, unlike Attack Of The Clones. Oh, who am I kidding, it doesn't matter because this is gonna be Grumpier Old Men with a hat.)

So this will be INDIANA JONES AND THE CHRONIC GRAPENUTS or something. The SUPPOSITORY OF DOOM. Just let Bruce Campbell play an aging Indiana Jones saving an old folks' home from an undead Belloq and the whole thing will work again. Karen Allen... Seriously, I still would! She, like, hasn't aged!!

Did you know that Nigella Lawson is 46? She's the hotness! She can google my youtube any day... Back on topic: you can never go home. And this new Indy flick sounds a lot like goin' home. They're all old bastards now, let 'em rest their weary bones. And NO BITCHING when you TBers see A LOT of CGI stunt work and many stunt persons who are NOT Harrison Ford doing his stunts for him. The man is in his sixties and needs his knees intact, dammit! I'm Audi. IRON MAN will rule next summer, if only for the Black Sabbath soundtrack. That trailer rocks!
KINGDOM OF THE FANBOY SKULLFUCK by performingmonkey	Sep 10th, 2007 10:21:12 AM
That's right, Lucas is going to personally skullfuck all the Indy fanboys. He's gonna rape your fucking skulls along with your childhood masturbatory fantasies. Well, at least we now have an idea of how UFOs/aliens fit into this story - the legendary Crystal Skulls are said to be from another world. Perhaps aliens return (like Cocoon: The Return.....) to reclaim the skulls, or Indy is sent to find the skulls.

Not like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK flowed off the tongue by Blue Meanie 1138	Sep 10th, 2007 10:33:57 AM

As long as its not 'Temple of Doom' ... by ye olde shiza	Sep 10th, 2007 10:38:40 AM
The movie will be a-okay. And 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' isn't that bad. The movie's probably about a crystal skull ... and a kingdom ... so what the fuck do you want it to be called? You can't trust a gut reaction from fan boys. Everyone whined about flames on Optimus, yet went to see the movie anyway. In a non-related area, fanboys practically pissed fire when they heard that Nintendo changed the 'Revolution' to the 'Wii.' We all see how angry they must have been now. I can't imagine how much money Nintendo is losing on the Wii because of those thousands of angry nerds! Oh wait, they're not losing shit. George Lucas is the prison cafeteria server. He's going to put this food on your plate, and you're going to eat it and shut the fuck up. Period.

The title "Raiders of the Lost Ark" would have been torn to shreds if AICN was around at the time, it's just as long and goofy as "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". The title is irrelevant, and all the moaners will shut the fuck up if Spielberg nails it, if not then they can bitch as much as they want.
so now that the title is out... by Automation Overlord	Sep 10th, 2007 10:57:05 AM
lets start hearing some spoilers on the plot, what is this kingdom and are the crystal skulls more of a religious artifact or voodoo macig like in ToD...and what about all these aliens we've been hearing about, maybe they have crystal skulls

These are the same dip shits that keep bringing us must see tv like Making the Band 25,My Super Sweet 16 and The Hillz. Thats the real reason other countries want to destroy us, not president Bush. They show The Hills and My Super Sweet 16 at terrorists camps and then follow that up with "do you want this to spread over here?" All of the people involved with those shows (and the people who enjoy them) should be shot in the head. Judging from the pictures in the paper this morning the Britney Spears song was bad but I wouldn't call her fat just yet. I guess that not suprising coming from the same people that called Ron Howards daughter fat. Such high standards.
Google "crystal skulls" == sounds perfect by Blue Meanie 1138	Sep 10th, 2007 11:33:28 AM
"Some people with a mystical bend credit them with strange, supernatural powers. Geologists marvel at their size. Archaeologists wonder who made them. And nobody denies that they possess an eerie, horrible beauty unmatched by almost any other objects. They are the crystal skulls. There have been many replicas of human skulls that have been polished out of a single crystal of quartz rock. Some are ancient, some contemporary. A few have been made from pure quartz and are absolutely clear. A rare few are also life-sized. Quartz, composed almost entirely of silicon dioxide, is found in almost every type of rock and can form huge crystals that weigh tons. While it is colorless and transparent when pure, when a tiny portion of the silicon atoms are replaced with iron, aluminum, manganese or titanium, the crystal can take on beautiful colors. Amethyst is violet quartz. Jasper is quartz with red, yellow, brown, gray or black coloring. Onyx and Agate are quartz with bans of color. Bloodstone is green with red spots. If a single streak runs through the quartz it might be called Cat's Eye, Tiger's Eye or Rutile. All crystal is ancient and there are no good ways of guessing how long ago a skull shape was carved or polished out of the quartz. Scientists have examined some of the skulls whose history is not known looking for tiny marks that may tell what type of tools were used to carve them, but this may not always give a reliable age or origin. It does not eliminate contemporary artists using ancient methods. Probably the two most famous clear crystal skulls are the "Mitchell-Hedges" skull and a skull owned by the British Museum. The British Museum's skull was part of the exhibit at the The Museum of Mankind in London for many years. The skull sat in a case there labeled as "possibly of Aztec origin- the colonial period at the earliest." This was guesswork on the part of the museum staff. The museum itself obtained the skull from Tiffany's, the New York jewelers. Nobody is sure where Tiffany's obtained it, though there are rumors that it was part of a collection amassed by a mysterious soldier of fortune in Mexico. More recent examinations of the skull seem to indicate that the tools used to make it are most likely more modern than originally thought, placing the age of the skull at century at the most. The skull is so strangely hypnotic that there is a story that the cleaning staff at the musem one time insisted that the object be covered with a black cloth before they worked around it at night. The Mitchell-Hedges skull (right) has an even more checkered past than the Museum of Mankind Skull. F.A. Mitchell-Hedges was a self-proclaimed British adventurer during the early twentieth century. He told stories about how he gambled with the rich J.P. Morgan, roomed with Leon Trotsky and fought with Pancho Villa. All of these appear to be tall tales. The skull itself is, of course, very real, but how it came into Mitchell-Hedges possession is an open question. We know for sure that he was in possession of it by 1944. That year a member of the staff of the British Museum had bid on the skull at an auction and made this note:"

It's odd that Spielberg said at Comic-Con by Mattyboy122	Sep 10th, 2007 11:47:10 AM
That he's doing this for the fans, but then he throws in his pet Shia LaBeouf, who I think it's safe to say that the overwhelming majority of Indy fans don't want in this flick, and then the rumored story pisses all over the first three films (aliens giving us technology and religion = the Ark, Sankara Stones, and Holy Grail are now just spiffy pieces of alien hardware), and then they pimp this movie on the VMAs. It's clearly Spielberg trying to tweak Indiana Jones to be popular with the kids these days (jaded losers who love Shia LaBeouf), even if it means taking a shit all over the franchise. I've standed by my claim that if this film features Shia as Indy's son and/or the Chariot of the Gods theory, that it would be a wholesale rape of the original films, and it now seems like the film will boast both! Fuck. This. Shit.
