Zach WeinersmithThere should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican, steals some relics, and gets away on a boat while a bunch of men in golden robes shake their fists and shout their strange language.

Mark Gardner@ZachWeinersmith First time I’ve regretted using @MonaApp’s translation feature
Ehproque has moved@mjgardner @ZachWeinersmith @MonaApp I regret being Spanish, the only word I don't understand is "illum"
Faraiwe
Shirley Eugest@ZachWeinersmith probably did that during the Reformation, and when abortion was legalised
Seiðr@ZachWeinersmith Zach, let me tell you there are enough pieces of that around to make a king-size bed blanket if you sew them all together.
Richard Knott@ZachWeinersmith we suspect this is what happened recently at the British Museum
rastilin@richardknott @ZachWeinersmith
There's a bit saying he sold a 50,000 pound roman coin for 40 pounds on ebay...
Not a Spring OnionNow, if you replace the Vatican with the British Museum...
The protagonist with an activist that wants to reclaim stolen cultural goods...
And present western culture and ideology in all their weirdness...
That would make a good film or even franchise.
Director: "They have stolen the priceless MacGuffin."
Police Officer: "But didn't we steal it first?"
Director: "Exactly. That's why I want it back."
@wakame @ZachWeinersmith heist movie with different motives
SpicewallaArcher just did an episode like that. It was a man from Nigeria stealing artifacts from a british museum. The macguffin was a 'cursed' plaque.
Isaac@wakame @ZachWeinersmith The Vatican also has a bunch of Jewish artifacts they're refusing to talk about
Norma Krautmeyer 🏳️🌈🍵🎨✂️🖍️🐈⬛@wakame @ZachWeinersmith so Black Panther but where Killmonger is the good guy
TinheadNed@ZachWeinersmith the monkey paw curse is that the tribe will be led by a Chosen white guy (see fern gully, avatar et al)
DocHolliday@ZachWeinersmith try Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Shannon Cuthrell@ZachWeinersmith Interesting! Beats the same old formulaic plot in every Indiana Jones film. These franchises need something different. https://shannoncuthrell.substack.com/p/entertainments-nostalgia-addiction
un perro atorrante y marginal@shannoncuthrell @ZachWeinersmith
¡también podrían ser las bóvedas de los bancos centrales de Portugal, España o Inglaterra ¡eeeh!
como ven hay material para una franquicia con solo algunas de las recuperaciones posibles
oh! esta conversación iba en ingles lo siento
Virginia S. O'Possum@shannoncuthrell @ZachWeinersmith Rudely, I do not have time to read the article right now and am commenting anyway -- the IJ movies were *intended* to use the pacing and tropes of old serials, so the oldness is the point. The formula needs updating, but not for the IJs. Which are done now anyway.
@ZachWeinersmith I love the 1920's era-ish exploration genre, and I've been really curious if there's way to do them in a way that is modern/not problematic, and unfortunately I think the answer is sadly probably not, but I would watch this movie.
@mikkergp I think part of why sci fi/fantasy has gotten so big is you can kinda bring back these kinds of stories minus the bad stuff.
Ongion 🥚🐞@ZachWeinersmith there's a game for that! It doesn't have a South American tribe, but it does feature reverse-Indiana Jones aka Pennsylvania Smith!

@ZachWeinersmith I have NO sympathy for them. Four & a half centuries ago they had done worse than the first world to the third. Read about Clergy Bartolome de las Casas. Now the fight is to preserve our climate before it worsens. New reality is a myth and things may turn worse that they are now. Use and promote green energy.
random thoughts@[email protected] would be satisfied with watching a Greek archeologist raiding British Museum as Beefeaters are shaking their moustaches at him shouting in a strange language (cockney rhyming slang)...
Oggie@ZachWeinersmith Alternatively, you can have him steal from the British 'collections' and have beefeaters and strange rituals.
' this belongs not in this museum!'
Mastodon Migration@ZachWeinersmith The sequel would be a bunch of South Pacific Islanders team up to tunnel under the British Museum and steal back their mega-ton Moai stone statues.
https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection/moai
Now @christinkallama@hcommons@mastodonmigration @ZachWeinersmith
And the scenes of them carrying off their reclaimed heritage would be awesome!

Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle@ZachWeinersmith there was this Brazilian writer, Ariano Suassuna, who at least once gave a speech (recorded, shared) alerting to the absurd of this scene
Perhaps YouTube will autotranslate?

Somehow this reminded me of Eduardo Galeano's quote in the 1703 Methuen Treaty: our gold left holes in Brazil, churches in Portugal and factories in England. (Brazil's gold rush was during its colonial period.)

Clay Rosenthal@ZachWeinersmith the new archer season has a mini version of this, in episode 3: “plaque removal”, even has a version of short round helping out.
Luís R.@ZachWeinersmith Don't forget the Swiss Guard.
Daisy Doo & TuxieGirl Betty@ZachWeinersmith I'd pay way more to see that movie!!
excited for the mastodon rise@ZachWeinersmith I would 1000% watch that movie.
OMG please make it happen.
Brian Tooted@ZachWeinersmith holy fuck I need this in my life.
Tammy Garrison, MLIS@ZachWeinersmith 💯💯 would watch.
C.S.StrowbridgeI work as a data analyst in the movie industry and sometimes work with indie filmmakers looking to find investors. One of the business plans I worked on was basically this, but with Greeks going after the British Museum.
Stefan Björk 🎹🎼🎸🇸🇪🏳️🌈@csstrowbridge @ZachWeinersmith And did they find any investors?
Not as far as I know.
@csstrowbridge @ZachWeinersmith So how far from becoming a real movie is that?
@VirginiaSOpossum @ZachWeinersmith
I can almost guarantee it will never happen, at least not with the person who hired us.
Paul Bamford@ZachWeinersmith Raiders of the Elgin Marbles (could be a very long-running franchise).
zendao42@ZachWeinersmith
I'd watch it!
I'd watch it!
benxConfused as to why no-one in the comments has mentioned Black Panther.
This scene in particular: https://youtu.be/tc2iC7iMc_g
Also, Indiana Jones 4, itself, involves him returning an artefact to where it was found.
In principle, though, I agree. More of this!

Peter Principle@ZachWeinersmith Gotta have a scene where a devious but cowardly white guy steals the relic from the hero but then gets caught in some fiendish Vatican man trap.
Colopen@ZachWeinersmith that sounds really good tbh
Tim Richards@ZachWeinersmith @static And the sequel can feature the British Library.

Maura Hubbell@ZachWeinersmith The trouble is, their gold usually got melted down. And a lot of it is in Spain, not the Vatican.

For the full "make them look more primitive than they actually were" effect, the Swiss Guard could angrily shake halberds at them.
