Inspired by **Tuckerfan** ’s “Indiana Jones and the Free Case of Metamucil” thread, it’s the _Rename an Upcoming Release!_ thread!

“Can I use some more exclamation points??! Look, Ma, I’m Tom Wolfe!”

Sorry, I’ve wrested the computer back from Tom Wolfe and told him to go away. Meanwhile, I propose the following titles for summer blockbusters. Feel free to come up with your own plots, too!

[del]Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull[/del]  
Raiders of the Lost Car Keys

[del]What Happens in Vegas…[/del]  
Clich’d!

[del]Sex and the City: The Movie[/del]  
Sex and the City: The Curse of the Credit Crunch

[del]You Don’t Mess with the Zohan[/del]  
You Don’t Pay for Adam Sandler Movies When SNL Reruns Are Free  
[or: Punch Drunk Love 2: Electric Bugaloo]

I don’t get it. I don’t think anything about the Indiana Jones movie has to do with car keys. The “Free Case of Metamucil” is remotely funny because everyone realizes Harrison Ford is much older this time around. Maybe something like “Indiana Jones and the Comfy Chair” could elicit a chuckle around the water cooler, but just making up random stuff isn’t funny. How about “Indiana Jones and the PURPLE CHEESE NINJA MONKEYS? SO WACKY, I’LL POST IT ON MAH LIVEJOURNAL!!!1!”
