: I only started the plot so that people would see that the whole Indy-going-into-the-Jones Sr.-roll idea wouldn't work. Didn't with Rocky V, won't with Indy IV.

Ha! Something similiar happened when The Beastie Boys formed sometime in the mid or late 1980's (around the time that many of you were born... oh man, I'm old! :( ) - they originally intended it to be a sarcastic spoof as a bunch of white guys singing/playing rap music (which at the time was unheard of). Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to be so popular themselves, and they turned out to be a success story in their own right.

Similiarly, by trying to sarcastically prove that an older Indy story could never work, your cool story has instead proven that it can work. You and Indy's Girl have made a wonderful story, despite your intentions! Let that be a lesson to you both - there's always a creative way to bring any idea to life properly if the execution is just right (although that's oftentimes a big if). That's why I believe that an Indy IV could work if done right (again, that's a big if)! :D

Keep up the good work, and don't sell Indiana Jones and the Insidious Fountain of Death short! :)
