You could've had Indiana Jones for President!

But now you can't!

The resemblance is striking and quite amusing, methinks. But you blew it. Now you get to choose between a man whose head looks like a potato and either a psycho-bitch chipmunk or Obama.

    If Huckabee was elected, I'm pretty sure he'd actually look for the holy grail.

    By my calculations, Indiana Jones would be 111 in 2008 (Harrison Ford was 39 when he made Raiders, which took place 72 years ago; this assumes Indy to have been the same age). Not so sure he'd make a great president, if he's even still alive.

    Ah yes, but he's immortal (As is his father, except he's dead in the new film. The hell is up with that?), but it seems he ages normally too, which would suck... (You'll see what that looks like in Series 3 of Doctor Who).

    I can't even remember the point I was going to make...

    He was only immortal from the time he drank from the Grail to the time he crossed the seal. He can still survive nuclear blasts, but age'll still get him.

    He's immortal? Way to put up spoiler alerts, guys.

    Don't worry, he's not immortal. It's a common misinterpretation of the end of Last Crusade.

    What do you mean, misconception? The whole reason Donovan wanted it was to live forever, and Indy drinks from it, as does his dad, hence they should be immortal...

    You were pretty nice to Obama there Bruce, considering the fact that he does resemble vegetables.

    Guess you forgot about the part where the knights of the Crusade that left the temple eventually died of old age. The grail's longevity effects only function within the confines of the Great Seal. As the last knight said, "that is the boundary, and the price of immortality".

    Wait, Sean Connery's character is confirmed to be dead in the latest film? Thanks for spoilering that, you jerk!

    Everyone needs to go see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull immediately, so people can casually refer to plot points both major and minor.

    And come on guys, spoiler alerts are your friends.

    Jakey, if it makes you feel any better, the mention of his death is pretty much just an aside, and has practically no bearing on the movie's plot. If I had to guess, it was just a way to keep Sean Connery out of the movie, since he's only like 12 years older than Harrison Ford, and at this point they're both looking much closer to their ages.
