From the set of the latest Indiana Jones installment

Spielberg:  Oh, crap!  We forgot to make the crystal skull.

Lucas:  Oh man, you're right.  Quick!  Send Joe out to get something we can use.

(one hour later)

Joe:  Dudes -- check it out!  Can you believe this cool skull I found?

(Lucas and Spielberg look at the crappy, obviously plastic alien skull)

Joe:  Yeah, I found that at Spencer Gifts.  I was gonna get you some of that fart powder to go with it cause, man, that shit is funny.  Oh!  And look! (turns switch on the back of skull)  It's got a lava lamp in it!

(Lucas and Spielberg look at the lava lamp, then at each other)

Spielberg:  Awesome!

Lucas:  Woa -- that is cool!  Alright dudes, let's make a movie!

Spielberg: Man I have no idea how to end this chase scenes.

Lucas: How about a monkey? Monkeys are good.

Spielberg: Hahahahah - wait, that actually might work.

Lucas: No, really, I was kidding. A monkey would make no sense.

Spielberg: A monkey perhaps. But howabout A LOT of monkeys.

Lucas: Um, and how do the monkeys save the day.

Spielberg: Indy Jr. rallies them with his badass vine swinging.

Lucas: Okay, that sounds insane, and I'm the Jar Jar guy.

Spielberg: And the next scene...

(laughing) You know, I was so focused on how spectacularly awful that skull looked that I didn't even question that Tarzan scene until you brought it up.

Yup, I had a similar reaction. "What? Did you spend all your budget on getting the hat back?"

I could not stop looking at that stupid thing every time they showed it and then when Indy starts staring at it I just thought, "What? I'm really supposed to believe this lucite creation has some mystical power?"

After its first appearance I tried to quit looking at it. Okay, I tried to overlook several things and just have a good time.
