Crystal Skull, huh? Sounds….breakable.
Not since John Edwards announcing his candidacy for President on The Daily Show has a potentially exciting announcement been made in such a non-auspicious (or, in Edwards’s case, a faux-non-auspicious place). Sunday night, Shia Laboeuf and his scary little mustache announced the official title of the new Indiana Jones movie at tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards. Finally! According to Laboeuf (and, presumably, Paramount Pictures), the long-awaited Indy–though not exactly indie–movie will be called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Other titles in the running included:
Indiana Jones and the Temple of DOOOOOOOOM!!!!1!!
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, No Really, We Mean It This Time
Indiana Jones and the Isn’t He Too Old?
Indiana Jones and the Mysteriously Elusive Title
Indiana Jones and the Deathly Hallows
Only history will tell us how the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull holds up compared to these fine choices.
