Another Open Letter

Nuking The Fridge: The point at which a movie franchise becomes tired and unbelievable.

An Open Letter To The Genius That Thought Up The Phrase 'Nuking The Fridge'.

Dear Sir,

In your opinion, was the scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in which the fridge gets nuked more believable or less believable than:

Indiana getting his father's book about the holy grail autographed by Hitler.
Sean Connery making a BF-109 crash using an umbrella.
The Nazis faces melting off when they opened the Ark of the Covenant.
The entire existance of both the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail in the first place.
Club Obi-Wan.
The wierd flying wing that the Luftwaffe had in Egypt.
The Luftwaffe even BEING in Egypt when it was a British protectorate in the 1930s.

I could go on, but I won't. You are clearly some sort of overgrown child pining for some movie to take him back to when he was 5 years old watching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time. Get with reality: it's not going to happen! And the same goes for everyone who didn't like The Clone Wars. Grr.

To Whom it may concern,

Hi. My name is Jason. I am the owner of nukethefridge.com and nukingthefridge.com. We are the ones that came up with the phrase. I can assure you that I am not an "overgrown child pining for some movie to take him back to when he was 5 years old watching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time." The phrase was simply invented as a joke. It took off and has a life of its own. And it has a lot better ring to it than "Autographed by Hitler," "Crashed by Umbrella," and "Rafting the Plane" or whatever lame scenes from each of the previous Indiana Jones movies.

The phrase is a joke. Thats the point. I find it hilarious that you and all the others who get all bent out of shape about it take it so seriously and don't see it as the joke it was intended to be.

And of course now I am laughing all the way to the bank.

Sincerely,
Jason Nicholl

A very lucrative joke, by the sound of it. Ka-ching!

Jason, this post was meant to be a joke, just like your little phrase. I hardly think this blogger was having a serious go at you, which you'd notice if you had browsed the rest of his rather humorous entries.

Try to learn how to take a joke next time, mmkay, pumpkin?
