Want proof that George Lucas is out of his mind and that this Indy movie will suck?

Just google "indiana jones and the saucer men from mars"....it was thought it was a rumor that it was GL idea for the movie's script but that Spielberg and Harrison Ford didn't like it....but knowing what we know of the movie's plot it looks like George finally got his way, at least to some degree....this movie will suck. Trust me, George Lucas will see to it...
Typical Star Wars fan-pessimism. Shove it up your ass and twist on it. So very irritating to always having to hear about your bitching and moaning about this shit.
The times I'll be watching this in theatres, I'm just gonna have damn fun watching this. In fact, I believe I only joined the forums more due to DigitalFreakNYC's Indiana Jones project compared to Star Wars. I'm not a rabid and over-tempermental Star Wars fan unlike the lot of you. So I'm not a typical OT.com forum member who'll always bash George Lucas. Shit with you guys about that gets old.
Actually, in all honesty, I do feel let down this film doesn't take place in wintertime. I've always wanted to see a silver screen adventure with Indiana Jones where he travels to rocky terrain in the snowy dusk of winter. Feels like the films have this Spring and Summer feel to them. Nothing for the Fall or Winter? It's what I enjoyed the most re-watching Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Nepal scene at the Ravenwood Bar. Hell, even Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine and Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix, video game and comic book respectively, both had major snowy cold winter environs. More like a modern take of Lost Horizon and all that stuff on Shangri La would've been keen. Although Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow followed on that. Call of Duty 2, the Russian campaign, Nazi's had these very cool looking cold winter gear which felt more in the lines of Indiana Jones and even Castle Wolfenstein. I was even playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein the other day and felt the tonality and atmosphere was completely in line with Indiana Jones. I own both the PC and XBOX versions of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Also damn glad Indiana Jones is finally making a comeback which he's so rightfully deserved. Now if I can only find the damn actiony figures dammit!:P
