Indy 5

cause yeah a bunch of magic rocks, a magic gold arc that kills anyone who looks inside it and a magic cup that gives ever lasting life but destroys caves when it passes certain seal are all totally serious things.

the fact of the matter is most "fans" of Indiana Jones/Star Wars have no clue about what they're actually about or what in fact they really are

I totally agree with your theory. But the beef for me was the alien / sci-fi crud.
I realise it was a story built around the paranoia and Area 51 that was big at the time the story was set, but what made the originals so good was that all the articles were about Faith.
You can argue that belief in a higher power is just as nonsensical as belief in aliens but the Trilogy, for me, was about the human spirit and mankinds capacity for belief giving an artifact it's power. A self fulfilling prophecy if you will.

then you missed the point about the series, there's no deep meaning in it. they are all based on the old pulp novels and adventures and really didn't have very deep meaning besides a fun adventure

Again. I know, but it's still the kid in me watching these films and it's the experience I had personally.

also if you want to say about faith and such, then the belief in aliens is something that requires faith as much as some invisible person(s) in the sky does

Ta daaa!!

If Shia Leboeuf is in the movie, it's enough to know it will be horrible.

I'm glad other people find that repellent little wanker annoying. He needs to fall off of something tall, pretty soon.
