Indiana Jones Sets the New Bar for the Ridiculous
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008So where did jump the shark originate? It was a hideously ludicrous episode of Happy Days in which Fonzie water-skied over a shark. Many fault this over the top moment as the downfall moment of the 
show. Likewise the new Indiana Jones movie sets an equivocally insane moment in the new movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Web sites like the Urban Dictionary have noticed that “nuked the fridge” has taken off.
It might end up being that Shia’s Tarzan moments are a bit more horrible then the radioactive fridge considering he can’t seem to even handle a car these days let alone a bike or a vine.
New rules for filmmakers these days:
- Superheros can survive nuclear explosions not seemingly “normal” human action heroes. Nolan would not do that to Batman(somewhat normal hero in terms of power)- Why even think about it with Indy? Instant death of the shark term.
- Lucas cannot write anymore- so do not humor even his best old material. Nothing can save him from the wreckage of the new Star Wars and Indy scripts. If he didn’t have the money, we would appropriately never hear from him again. He is his own worst enemy at this point. Why can’t Spielberg talk him out of these things?
- Shia is not funny, is not an action star, and is not the answer to carry any series. Even teen comedies on television can probably make a better choice. Drop this annoyance quickly because this is the best way to ruin a movie and immediately make it unbelievable.
Does this mean that British Columbia has an athlete’s foot problem?
