I think they already kind of made that movie: [link]
Yeah, that doesn't count on the basis of it sucked.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm such a dork. I loved the Librarian movies (they're making another one!) and I completely missed what was special about the spear.

Aw! I loved the Librarian movies, in all their goofy stupidness. Bob Newhart kicking ass!

It's like I don't even know you, man!
Maybe...maybe I never did...

You do realize you just said that about a movie with a hot librarian protagonist amid the densest concentration of Giles lovers on earth?

I think that's around the time the MPAA started sending spies to theatres to make sure they were enforcing the ratings system.
All of us were the same age. I was the only female. And the only one who got carded.
We all gave a funny look to the kid behind the ticket window. Who couldn't have been older than 16 from the look of him.

Hee!
I think it helped for me that the Librarian movies never really pretended to be anything but goofy and stupid. Had they been trying to be serious, I think I wouldn't have liked them either.

And yet here I stand, unafraid. For my conviction gives me the strength of a hundred nerds! A thousand! I shall ne'er bow before the hordes of those with opinions different from mine, nay, I shall stride forth, stoic and sure, for I have my unbending and unswerving view of the world as my staff and Godwin's Law at the ready!

I'm all in agreeance with MM on Indiana Jones and the Plexiglas Skull. The whole aliens'n'spaceship plot didn't really work for me, although I hear what you all are saying about it being very apropos for the 50s. The refrigerator scene was funny, sort of? but pretty pointless, and WAY over my suspension-of-disbelief threshhold.
I think for me, part of what I loved about Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade was the sense of awe and wonder that they made me feel. Finding the Ark of the Covenant, becoming part of the legend of the Holy Grail -- that's good stuff! I'd guess that most of us who make up the target audience for the Indy movies have a basic familiarity with Judeo-Christian stories & symbols and their meanings. This one was mostly about either made-up or very obscure mythology, none of which made a great deal of sense, and so it was much harder for me to connect with the story or feel that same awe.
I have no idea what my first R movie was! Huh. My parents weren't very strict about what my brother and I watched, and it was really easy to get into R-rated movies anyway, so I guess my first one didn't make much of an impression.
