Raider Sequel Has Done Poorly
8> Most people have already seen it — back when it was called “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
7> Grave desecration films just don’t pull ‘em in like they used to.
6> Angelina looks so pale since she lost access to Billy Bob’s blood.
5> Jolie’s relationship with her brother makes even the geeks who took their sisters to the prom a little queasy.
4> Do you have any idea how many tickets Billy Bob bought to the first movie?
3> Lara lugging that kid all over the place is a real downer.
2> You mention “Angelina Jolie” and “the cradle of life” in one sentence and most men don’t think of Africa, if you know what I mean.
