Kingdom of The Crystal Skull?

That's the official title. I like it alright. It certainly has the pulp ring to it. But then again, so did The Phantom Menace. It's actually a little strange that this title harkens back to the inspirations from the 1930's. The story supposedly takes place in the 1950's, so why not have the title harken back to that era? I guess it's because there just weren't any amazing high adventure movies playing the matinees back then and Indiana Jones & The Colossal Atomic Creature From Venus wouldn't work either.
Also, and this may just be a generational thing, but the title kind of makes me think of the Raiders rip-offs that were so prevalent in the 80's. The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull fits right in with Treasure of The Four Crowns and Alan Quartermain & The Lost City Of Gold.

Whip it good on the message board HERE.
