Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [use spoiler tags, please]

[Alex]

But looking at that list I don't necessarily see homages as simply ideas that have been used before (and sometimes a lot). For example:

Sexy Russian super-agent: curvaceous Janet Leigh as a Soviet air ace in JET PILOT (1957)

An individual with telepathic talent can read the minds of others: THE POWER (1968)

Sexy Soviet lady is a Jet Pilot reference? Does that mean that Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle was a Jet Pilot reference? Telepathy is a The Power reference? Does this mean that What Women Want is just a big tribute film?

If anything, if that article is accurate I think it further undermines the film. It turns Crystal Skull from being its own things with an eye towards the history of a genre to simply being a "best hits" clip reel of films from the 1950s (though 1980s). A less comedic entry in the Scary Movie franchise.
