The ChatGPT thing does always make these sorts of thing weirdly unspecific doesn’t it?

more like Indiana Jones and the Blue Pill.

Or how about :-  
Indiana Jones and the Legend of Stonehenge  
…in which our hero discovers the real purpose of stonehenge, and  
why it was never fulfilled … _or was it ?_

This was sort of the plot to a Tom Robbins novel. So how about **Indiana Jones, Skinny Legs And All**? 😅

I wouldn’t cheat with using AI to come up with the idea, but it would be useful in the execution of what I want to see. An Indiana Jones with Humphrey Bogart as Indy.

> Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth

The year is 1964. Indy is searching for the Fountain of Youth in Central Florida. He tries to visit various dig sites, but is stopped at every turn by developers buying up all the land for miles around. It doesn’t seem to be a coincidence. After a bit of sleuthing, Indy discovers that all the buyers are part of a secret cabal, headed by a single individual. Indy races to find the Fountain before his latest nemesis can complete his insidious plan.

Naah – needs more travel, more globe-hopping. Have Indy pursue this individual to Southern California, or Paris, or Tokyo, or Hong Kong or Shanghai. _Then_ maybe you’d have something.

**Indiana Jones and The Colostomy Bag of Doom**

Indy finds himself awakening from a long coma in a mysterious hospital, encumbered by all sorts of strange medical apparatuses and attended to by doctors and nurses who pay no attention to his questions and his remarks. He plans his escape from the hospital but is foiled at every turn by his own bodily weakness and frailty.

I can’t remember the book for sure, or author, but I do remember a thriller which involved peril to the Kaaba. The good guy agency involved had to comb their ranks for Muslims so they could go into Mecca. The group didn’t want to committ a sacrilege.

I can’t say ninja’d when I’m more than a week late, but I find the Amber Room fascinating.

If you’re wanting something Nordic, wasn’t there a never empty drinking horn?

**Indiana Jones and the great grandchild’s Temple of Doom Lego set.**

The missing piece is the MacGuffin.  
After giving up he steps on it barefooted. Fade to black as he curses.
