Are you suggesting that Conker's Bad Fur Day was nothing more than a ploy to gather who their real allies were?

Scarlett Johansson should star in a movie about a blow-up sex doll brought to life. She'd be perfect for the part because she IS the part.

I'm really loving London as a tourist. I'm staying at a hostel near King's Cross, so it's easy to get around on the tube. I've already done the British Library, Kensington Gardens, Regent's Park, Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, and a few other high-profile sites. I have only one more full day here, so I'm gonna make tomorrow count.
I'd forgotten how much I like real cities. Los Angeles's urban sprawl is indeed endearing, but after living there all my life I'm only now starting to realize it's not much of a city. This is the first time I've traveled alone in a place like this, and again, I'm truly loving it.
Though I will say, getting around if you're not on the tube is a hassle if you're not paying attention. Street names change all the time around here! Would it be too much to ask if we could make up our minds, hmmmm?

Don't miss the Tate Modern, there is usually so much free stuff you probably don't even need pay to get into the special galleries. Plus you can walk across the bridge from 'Gaurdians of the Galaxy' to get there ;-)

I don't even honestly like squirrels that much. I mean yeah they are fun to get drunk with, but when they start taking advice from scarecrows and hooking up with grey rabbits I'm out.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

I refuse to accept Temple of Doom as a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Indy's clearly a committed religious skeptic prior to the ending of Raiders -- it makes little sense that he'd casually disregard the tales of the ark's power as "a lot of superstitious hocus pocus" if he'd encountered a bunch of magical glowing rocks and an evil priest who could rip hearts out of people without killing them only a year before.
Temple works far better as a sequel, and that is what I choose to accept it as.

Refuse is strong language for something so trivial, in my opinion. Although, I will say, your opinion makes sense to me!
To play devil's advocate: I've always thought Indy didn't believe in any of that mumbo jumbo in Temple either and chalked it up to a placebo effect on the believers when the relics worked in his favor. Also, technically, he didn't disregard the ark's power in the end -- right? He made sure his eyes, and Marion's, were closed when Belloq opened the ark. Could've been putting on a front to keep the government out of his way as much as possible.

Thiests -- or conservative/Fundamentalist Christians, to be specific -- who regard the multiverse concept as atheistic never fail to make me sick. God is infinite and transcendant, isn't It, with thoughts and feelings above those of humans? So why would God limit Itself to a single, solitary universe? It makes absolutely no sense -- a truly limitless God would create as many universes as It wanted, each with varying laws of physics.
Yet again, Fundies prove that they want to limit God, to make God as small as they are, with their limited intelligence and limited imagination. They want God to be an old man with a white beard who poofs things into existence for their benefit -- not a grand, omnipresent artist which embraces the infinite and the diverse.

Except for the date at the beginning of the film, there is nothing else that would make me ever believe it was a prequel. Everything about it seems like a sequel, including Harrison's more muscular physique (course his double had more work to do in this one than the others, so perhaps that's partly why it appears that way), the reference to the Arab swordsman when Indy reaches for his missing gun, his greater openness to the magic of the rocks than the powers of the Ark, the film's acknowledgement of Indy's fear of snakes when he nods at the snake statue, etc.
On the other hand, now that I say that, I should not fail to note that Indy seems a lot more selfish in this film, caring more about "fortune and glory" than about people, while in Raiders he clearly has a more noble head on his shoulders, so perhaps there is a sign of some maturity, but other than that, I really have a hard time looking at it as a prequel as well.

I've always wanted to play the role of Algernon in a production of The Importance Of Being Ernest. Stage or screen, big or small.
I may have to put on my own production in order to make this dream come true...
