: : : I agree with you. It's good to see someone familiar with the War of the Ring. With Marian aside, here's a weird thought. In "Indy IV", let's have our hero chase after an artifact that somehow links him to the ancient Realm of Gondor, so we can have a unification of both the greatest film series and the greatest novels ever written... "Indiana Jones and the Palantir Stone" or something like that. Just a thought.

: : : Aragorn

: : Dear God in heaven, that would be an absolutely amazing film. LotR was my favorite novels ever and of course, the Indy films are my favorite movies ever, so incorporating the two of them into one film would be no less than spectacular. The problem I have with that though is that not many people are as familiar with Middle Earth and the goings-on in that realm as they are with Indy and his universe. The two of them combined would probably lead to confusion to the general audience. Oh I hate hate the ignorance of the masses.

: As Holmes once told Watson, "I use my mind like an attic for storage. People constantly clutter their attics with useless furniture that they never use. I chose what articles to store, and use, and don't bother with anything else unless it is something that I need to reach for at a given moment." It's not ignorance that the masses contend with, it just may be information that isn't currently needed, or wanted at the time. Regards. Michaelson
