The role was written the way that she played it. She wasn’t playing herself. Blame the writer and director, don’t blame the actress.

You know what complaint I’m surprised I never hear about _Crystal skull_? The scene in the ruins of some cemetery where Indy **shoots what looks like a ten year-old in the face**. Granted, the kid was trying to kill him, but dude, that was a little kid you just killed. At least pause for a moment and ponder about the meaning of life or something, you know?

You kiddin? Indiana Jones was a mass murderer only surpassed by that Jessica Fletcher chick in [Cabot cove](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086765/)

Think of all the Nazis that needlessly died at his hand, or casual neglect (hey guys, don’t open that box, umkay?)

Some little kid in underoos and mommie’s makup wouldn’t make him miss breakfast.

Here’s the real Indy 4:

Great game too. Great puzzles, interesting script, etc. etc.

At the time, the rumor was that the game was made based on an unused shooting script.

I guess you can look at it two ways:

1. Anyone who played the game got the real Indy 4.

2. Everybody who paid to watch Indy 4 (2008) got screwed.
