Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the McGuffins Link Roundup

I finally saw this movie last night, and now can (un)biasedly pass on some of my favorite select links to you, the consumer.

My review: If this movie did not have 30 years of a historic trilogy behind it, there would be no reason to see it. It was very not good. But, you should see it, because it is an Indiana Jones movie. And many people will go see it. Making those involved lots of money, for a bad movie.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Temple of the Last Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls is raking in the money at the box office, beating all the other bad movies out right now:

In one of the more interesting stories surrounding the 4th Indiana Jones, in a rare agreement with a studio, Lucas, Spielberg and Ford will not recieve any profit until 'Skulls' recoups $400 million in revenue for Paramount. Thereafter, Paramount will take 12.5% and the three big stars will split the 87.5%.
