Is This the Plot of the Next Indiana Jones?

After fans, critics and co-star Shia LaBeouf trashed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- pop quiz: Can you remember anything about that film besides the nuked fridge and swinging monkeys? -- it seemed likely that the threatened fifth film in the once-iconic series would need some serious readjustments. And apparently, that's happening! Maybe. Call it Indiana Jones and the Giant Grain of Salt.

According to the New Zealand news site Stuff -- where else would you go to find out about massive Hollywood blockbusters -- the plot for Indy 5 "will be centered around the Bermuda Triangle, an area over the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft are said to have disappeared." And according to a source, "George [Lucas] and Steven [Spielberg] have been working on a script and it's almost there."

Okay, yes, the Bermuda Triangle hook already sounds better than aliens and buried spacecrafts, but that's not the best part:

"[T]his will be a blockbuster made in the old fashioned way rather than the CGI efforts of the last movie," the source added.

And, there you have it fans! Never mind the previous film's terrible script, mailed-in performances and general plotting -- the real reason The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull stunk was because of all the bad CGI. Because when the Nazis opened up the Ark at the end of Raiders, that looked awesome.
